Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

New Engine

All-New 999cc GSX-R1000 is a clean sheet design built to maximize combustion efficiency with more torque and power across the rpm range and enhanced throttle response and reduced exhaust emissions.

As a result the distance between the crankshaft and the transmission output shaft has been reduced by 59.6mm making the engine shorter front to rear.A new integrated clutch and starter motor cover is about 200 grams lighter than the two individual covers previously used.A powerful microprocessor in the ECM runs the advanced engine management system, starting with the latest versions of the latest versions of the SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) downdraft double-barrel fuel injection system first introduced on the GSX-R1000.A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) servo controlled butterfly valve built into the mid pipe helps maximize torque throughout the RPM range. Many people claim to remove these valves as they tend to "kill" some hp and have a noise reduction function.

New more oversquare bore and stroke which gives the engine better overall tuning potential, specifically increased performance at high rpm.The back torque limiting clutch incorporates the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) for light clutch pull and optimum clutch performance.

KTM RC8 Akrapovic & Red Bull replica

At a dry weight of 180kg and engine weighing only 62kg, that lightweight powerplant sends 170 hp and a torque of 123 nm to the rear wheel. And the best of all is that these specifications are for the basic KTM RC8 1190 R.

The engine is Liquid cooled, four stroke, 75degree V-twin cylinder, DOHC (Double Over Head Cam, 4 valves per cylinder and the new one delivers 10 hp more.

You get the best series chassis with the latest, most powerful series V2 engine. Plus, the most sophisticated racing exhaust in the Clubracing Kit: the Akrapovic Evo4, a masterpiece made from ultra-thin titanium. 7.5 kg lighter and delivers 10 hp more. The more horsepower come from the upgraded cylinder gasket, the Akrapovic racing exhaust and remapped fuel injection.
