New Engine
Updated compact and lightweight 599cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed with increased performance and responsiveness in mind
New electronic fuel injection system features Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system - with dual fuel injectors per cylinder and new compact 8 hole, fine spray injectors for improved fuel atomization.
Combustion chamber shape is new and features an increased compression ratio of 12.8:1for maximum performance
New forged aluminum alloy pistons are designed to work with increased compression ratio, new iridium spark plugs and updated combustion chamber shape.
New exhaust cam tappets diameters are now larger at 25.0mm for increased flexibility in cam profile design
New larger ventilation holes located between the cylinder bores are increased to 41mm for reduced internal pumping pressure and reduced mechanical losses
New Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
New S-DMS engine management system allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch
New high volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with an innovative under engine chamber leading to a new large volume muffler with a new distinctly shaped triangular silencer
Under deceleration the back torque limiting clutch reduces pressure on the clutch plates for smoother downshifting and corner entry
New hydraulic cam chain tensioner automatically adjusts while reducing noise and mechanical losses.
New clutch cover and oil pan feature new internal ribs for increased rigidity and reduced engine noise
Suzuki Exhaust Tuning system is built into the mid-pipe using a servo-controlled butterfly valve to tune the exhaust system to match engine rpm and improving low end torque
New Ignition coil outer diameter is smaller for reduced weight and the starter motor uses new rare earth magnets for a compact lightweight design
New 32 bit ECM features 1024 kilobytes of ROM for maximum engine performance working in conjunction with the new S-DMS engine management system
New Chassis
Sharp new bodywork design features an aggressive new look featuring a bold new headlight design and new angular tail section for the new GSX-R600
New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
New three headlight layout features a projector low beam and multi-reflector headlamps for left and right high beams creating improved light distribution
New lightweight cast aluminum wheels featuring a new angled spoke design for improved rigidity, reduced unsprung weight and improved acceleration
New diecast aluminum seat rail features an updated two piece design for reduced weight
Lightweight Tokico single piston rear brake caliper is mounted on a new rear caliper bracket for ease of maintenance when removing the rear wheel or working on the rear brake
New fuel tank features a GSX-R1000 inspired design and fuel capacity is increased to 17 liters
Aggressive new overall design features a well balanced combination of compactness with the high performance look of a GSX-R
