2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 Features
 
ENGINE FEATURES1. 599cc EngineThe GSX-R is outfitted with a 599cc 4-cylinder engine with a race-proven oversquare bore/stroke ratio for an efficient, high-revving design.Camshaft profiles feature an aggressive valve-lift curve, developed using proven Suzuki race team engine technology—its first use on a production Suzuki.The engine employs shot-peened conrods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes.4-into-1 stainless-steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler, carrying a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve maximizing torque and improving throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid RPM range.Advanced, Suzuki race team developed transistorized ignition control circuit helps maintain more precise ignition timing across the range of engine temperature.Lightweight, durable forged pistons designed using Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used in Suzuki race team racing engines.
2. Suzuki Drive Mode SelectorSuzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two racing-developed engine control maps to suit road conditions and personal tastes.Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection, uses fine-spray 8-hole injectors for improved fuel atomization, which contributes to more complete combustion.TRANSMISSION FEATURESThe crankcase carries a six-speed close-ratio transmission with vertically staggered shafts, to reduce overall engine length.A race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.SUSPENSION
3. Showa Big-Piston front ForkRace-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston front-Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
4. Rear ShockSingle Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.CHASSIS FEATURES
5. Twin-spar aluminum cradle frameLightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame made of five cast sections and cast swingarm.
6. 3-way adjustable footpegsThree-way adjustable footpegs, adjustable shift lever, and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position.Small, simple and lightweight bodywork featuring exciting, aerodynamic styling.
7. Front BrakesFront brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers.
8. Instrument ClusterCompact, lightweight instrument cluster with a built-in lap timer/stopwatch and programmable engine RPM indicator.Instrument cluster features an analog tachometer with LCD readouts of the speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure indicator, S-DMS and gear position indicators.
9. Steering DamperElectronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force on the racetrack and at highway speeds.
