GSX-R600Z 100TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

ENGINE

• A compact 599cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven over-square bore/stroke ratio produces remarkably strong high rpm power delivery.
• The energy-efficient engine employs forged pistons, shot-peened connecting rods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes to reduce frictional and mechanical losses.
• Camshafts with aggressive valve-lift profiles were developed using proven MotoGP racing engine technology – the first time this method has been applied to a production Suzuki.
• Lightweight titanium alloy valves are controlled by single-coil valve springs to reduce valve train mass, reducing mechanical losses at high rpm.
• Lightweight and durable forged pistons were designed using the same Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used for MotoGP racing engines.
• Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection uses eight fine-spray eight-hole injectors for improved fuel atomization, which contributes to more complete combustion.
• An Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has enhanced settings to suit the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.
• Advanced, MotoGP-developed transistorized ignition control programming helps maintain more precise spark timing across the range of engine speed and temperature.
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two racing-developed engine control maps to suit road or track conditions and personal tastes.
• Four-into-one stainless steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler is fitted with a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve that maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range.
• The close-ratio six-speed transmission features a taller first-gear ratio and shorter ratios for second, third, fourth, and sixth gears, making it easier for a racer to get a good start while improving straight-line acceleration and drive out of corners.
• Race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.

CHASSIS

• Lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminium alloy frame is constructed of five cast sections to produce a balance of light weight and strength.
• The frame is mated with a cast aluminium swingarm and multi-piece rear sub-frame that’s ready for racetrack use.
• Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
• Single Showa rear shock absorber features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.
• Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.
• Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs are grasped by radial-mount, four-piston Brembo Monobloc calipers.
• Three-spoke cast aluminium alloy wheels are shod with lightweight, high-grip front and rear tires for sharp handling.
• Three-way adjustable foot pegs, adjustable shift lever and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position that permits the rider movement required for performance riding.
• Compact, lightweight instrument cluster with a built-in lap timer/stopwatch and programmable engine rpm indicators alert the rider to certain shift points.
• Trim, simple, and lightweight bodywork creates an exciting, aerodynamic style that truly works well at speed.
• Distinctive multi-reflector headlight with vertically stacked high- and low-beam halogen bulbs is cantered between position lights on each side.
• Bright, durable LED tail light, with clear lens.
• The front turn signals are integrated into the rear-view mirrors while the rear tail section houses the rear signals.
• The lightweight instruments also include an analogue tachometer and LCD readouts that show speed, odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure indicator, S-DMS, and gear position indicators.
