Introducing the 2009 Suzuki GSX-R600. It is the
GSX-R of the middleweight class, a product
of Suzuki's legendary Integrated Design approach.
A machine designed and refined by a team of
talented engineers working together to build
a motorcycle that delivers Balanced Performance.
A revised, compact combination of chassis
and engine, fitted with advanced electronics,
effective suspension and radial-mount brakes
to not only make more power and accelerate
harder but also to handle better, with the
goal being a quicker lap time around a racetrack.
Packaged with exciting new styling and increased
lighting and aerodynamics. Ignore the lights
and mirrors and the fact that this is also
the cleanest-running four-cylinder 600cc motorcycle
that Suzuki has ever built, and it's easy
to imagine the GSX-R600 rolling directly out
of a race shop.
Compact and lightweight
599cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled
engine designed with optimum performance and
responsiveness in mind
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 features a compression ratio of 12.8:1for
maximum performance
Forged aluminum
alloy pistons are designed to work with 12.8:1compression
ratio, iridium spark plugs and combustion
chamber shape.
Exhaust cam tappets
diameters are now larger at 25.0mm for maximum
flexibility in cam profile design
Large ventilation
holes located between the cylinder bores are
designed for reduced internal pumping pressure
and minimal mechanical losses
Suzuki Idle Speed
Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting,
consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
Proven S-DMS engine
management system allows the rider to choose
from three engine settings to match riding
conditions with a handlebar mounted switch
High volume Suzuki
Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with an innovative
under engine chamber leading to a large volume
muffler with a distinctly shaped triangular
silencer
Under deceleration
the back torque limiting clutch reduces pressure
on the clutch plates for smoother downshifting
and corner entry
Hydraulic cam
chain tensioner automatically adjusts while
reducing noise and mechanical losses.
Clutch cover and
oil pan feature 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
Ignition coil
outer diameter is designed for reduced weight
and the starter motor uses rare earth magnets
for a compact lightweight design
32 bit ECM features
1024 kilobytes of ROM for maximum engine performance
working in conjunction with the S-DMS engine
management system
Sharp bodywork
design features an aggressive new look featuring
a bold headlight design and angular tail section
for the GSX-R600
Electronically
controlled steering damper uses a solenoid
valve to move a tapered needle reducing or
increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
Three headlight
layout features a projector low beam and multi-reflector
headlamps for left and right high beams creating
improved light distribution
Lightweight cast
aluminum wheels featuring an angled spoke
design for improved rigidity, reduced unsprung
weight and improved acceleration
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
Stylish fuel tank
features a GSX-R1000 inspired design and provides
4.5 gallons of fuel.
Aggressive new
overall design features a well balanced combination
of compactness with the high performance look
of a GSX-R
An aluminum-alloy
frame utilizing five cast sections is engineered
to deliver the ideal balance of rigidity for
improved handling and less weight
Braced aluminum
alloy swingarm is rigid with a large swingarm
pivot and the swingarm assembly is designed
for optimum suspension feedback and rear wheel
traction
Innovative rear
suspension linkage features a forged aluminum
alloy link and one piece forged aluminum alloy
link rod designed to increase traction and
reduce side loads
Inverted 41mm
Showa front forks are fully adjustable for
rebound, compression and preload settings
with optimum rake and trail dimensions for
incredible cornering performance.
Showa 46 mm aluminum
alloy rear shock features a 16mm rod and is
completely adjustable for rebound, high and
low speed compression and preload damping
Radial mount four
piston front brake calipers works with new
lightweight 310mm front brake rotors and a
revised front brake master cylinder
Three way adjustable
footpegs now feature die-cast construction
and can be moved into three different positions
with a 14mm horizontal and vertical range
The compact lightweight
instrument cluster features a step motor controlled
analog tach, LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters,
clock, fuel reserve and a gear position indicator
