Model History

2007 Suzuki year code: K7
Suzuki revealed a significantly updated GSX-R1000 for 2007 at the Paris Motor Show. The new
bike gained 14 pounds over the 2006 model which is most likely due to its new exhaust system
and new emissions regulations. To counter this significant weight increase, Suzuki claims
improved aerodynamics. Although not a completely new model, the engine and chassis have
been updated. It also features three different engine mapping configurations, selectable via a
three-position handlebar switch; standard, sport, and 'wet' (which would likely soften power
significantly, and would also be helpful on cold tires).
New Engine
New 999cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and
acceleration with forged aluminium alloy pistons, chrome-moly shotpeend connecting rods,
hollow camshafts, and a secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration
New more compact fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System
(SDTV) - with twelve smaller holes for improved fuel delivery and steeper angle for secondary
injectors
New intake and exhaust ports are reshaped and eight percent larger with larger titanium
exhaust valves, more aggressive camshafts, and iridium spark plugs
New Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and
reduced emissions
New high volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with equal length head pipes
feeding a unique under engine chamber leading to two compact aluminium/titanium mufflers
on each side
The new mid-pipe includes a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for maximum torque
throughout the rpm range and an oxygen sensor used by the engine management system and
combined with the under-engine catalyser for reduced emissions
New larger 48mm ventilation holes between cylinders reduce pumping losses and the
crankcase breather system now features a reed valve to prevent pressure waves in the airbox
from reaching the crankcase
New self adjusting hydraulic clutch minimizes changes in clutch feel over a long race
Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system
provides more positive clutch feel
New engine management system is four time more powerful than the previous system and
allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a
handlebar mounted switch
New larger radiator utilizes a trapezoidal shape seen on works racebikes with 10% more
cooling capacity. The oil cooler now works with a larger oil pump.
New Chassis
All new aluminum alloy twin-spar frame is built using five castings for lightweight, unmatched
handling and performance, increased production precision, and reduced weight
New braced aluminium-alloy swingarm is more rigid and features an innovative new link
system which pivots on the swingarm itself for increased traction and reduced side loads
New DLC coated 43mm forks and rear shock now feature high and low speed compression
damping along with adjustable rebound and preload settings
New forks feature larger 56mm outer tubes below the triple clamp for increased rigidity and
fork offset is changed from 30mm to 28mm. Front wheel travel is also increased from 120mm
to 125mm
New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle
reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force
New adjustable rider foot pegs can be moved into three different positions to suit rider
preferences
New 310mm front brake discs are attached to the carrier with 12 floating mounts instead of 8
for improved heat transfer away from the disc and are also thinner at 5.0mm for reduced
weight Rear disc works with a single piston calliper and is mounted above the swingarm for
reduced braking effect on the rear suspension
New wind tunnel developed bodywork features an aggressive new style, reduced frontal area
and a taller windscreen for optimum aerodynamic performance
New vertically stacked headlight features an updated shape with a compact projector bulb and
when combined with the sleek bodywork and tail section offer maximum rider mobility and
improved styling
A new easy-to-read instrument cluster includes a step motor controlled analogue tachometer,
digital LCD speedometer, dual trip meters, clock, convenient gear position sensor, rpm
indicator light and a new LCD engine mode indicator displaying which performance setting has
been selected by the rider
Close-ratio slick shifting six-speed transmission with an adjustable back torque limiter for
smoother downshifts
Bridgestone radial tires mounted on cast aluminium wheels featuring thin spoke design with
optimized wall thickness to reduce un-sprung weight
