2017 Dyno comparison (new Gixxer)

Not a huge Suzuki fan but I do like that!!

 

Winghouse sucks, Twin Peaks FTW!

 

It could be worse. The 1199 Panigale had 5 recalls in one month.

 

so you're saying business as usual

 

For the amount of new technology (well new to Suzuki) on the GSXR this year I don't think a ECU flash recall is that bad.

Only time will tell but from what some race teams have said the motor seems to be pretty reliable.

 

Compared to the Honda, Yamaha and ZX10 the Suzuki frame it is spartan. Reviewers seem to agree the Suzuki design handles better.

 

More flexible frame but stiffer engine cases.Look at the deep webs at the back of the engine for added rigidity

 

Also,a couple of pages back,listen to what Team Yoshimura's team manager Kato has to say about the new machine.

 

The engine's a "stressed member"........

 

I was gonna say "that's the best lookin' Suzuki I've ever seen", but then the tank started lookin' all Katana and shit.
(It is good lookin' but it prolly takes the eye of one that knows the originals to notice just how good lookin' it really is.)

 

it has been for a while now,'96 SRAD iirc.

btw,isn't that Chris Ulrich? that pic's from the Hamamatsu plant.

 

Meh!

 

Oh, great. Now we get two pages of Robby-Bobby.

 

Elias,Dunlop,Waters head to Sepang to ride the GSX-RR

the pic on the stand makes the Suzuki look like the swingarm is really long and the lower frame is angled forward. The dyno pic shows both axles and its easily over 2' long probably closer to 30" there! My 2006 1k stock swingarm is ~25" total length (end to end).
The smaller upper spars resemble the late 80s early 90s 1100s frame!

 

agree... im looking for some taco truck before any of those joints!

 

the L7 has one of the longest swinarms,610mm for 1,420mm wheelbase. my K6 1000 with the axle as far as possible has 575mm for 1,435mm wheelbase.

 

Suzuki WEC Junior Team build.

 

Rumor on the street is FT ECU is working on race team package that lets you adjust traction control separate from wheel lift control.

Also Yosh Japan says EM Pro is due out in the next couple months.

 

Here's the bulletin on the recall if anyone's interested.


What is the problem?

When upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will
exist and continued opening of the throttle will cause very high engine RPM. If the rider shifts into second gear
without disengaging the clutch under the very high engine RPM condition, an excessive load can be applied to
the powertrain, which can cause the drive chain to stretch and, in the worst case, the drive chain can come off or
break. If the drive chain comes off or breaks, the motorcycle will lose power, increasing the risk of a crash.
