2013 Suzuki GSX-R600™

Chassis 

• Race-developed, lightweight 41 mm Showa Big Piston front-Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
• A lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame is made of five cast sections and features a cast swingarm.
• An electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at lower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.
• Front brakes feature fully floating 310 mm discs and radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers.
• A single Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.

Engine

• A 599 cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven oversquare bore / stroke ratio provides exceptionally potent, high-revving performance.
• Shot-peened conrods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes help ensure efficient performance.
• Class leading Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system includes fine-spray 8-hole injectors, providing improved fuel atomization contributing to more complete combustion in the cylinder.
• Advanced, MotoGP-developed transistorized ignition control circuit helps maintain more precise ignition timing across the range of engine temperatures.
• Lightweight, durable forged pistons are designed with the Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology and optimized camshaft profiles was developed using proven MotoGP racing technology.
• A 4-into-1 stainless-steel exhaust system features a titanium muffler, which carries a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve. The system maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid RPM range.
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two racing-developed engine control maps to suit road conditions and personal preference.
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase helps reduce friction, improve heat transfer, increase durability and provide better ring seal.

Suspension

• 3-way adjustable footpegs, adjustable shift lever, and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position.
• 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.
• Compact, lightweight instrument cluster with a built-in lap timer / stopwatch and programmable engine RPM indicator.
• Small, simple and lightweight bodywork featuring exciting, aerodynamic styling.

Transmission

• A six-speed close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.
• Race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.
