SV1000S/SV1000 Features

  • Stunning new sport machine with proven Suzuki V-twin performance and slim chassis design.

Engine Features

  • Liquid-cooled, 996cc 90 degree V-twin, DOHC 8-valve engine - tuned for exceptional low-to-mid rpm throttle response and torque.
  • Electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV)- maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output. Includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS).
  • New 32-bit ECM with 22-trigger pole rpm sensor, provides more precise control of ignition timing and injector operation for each cylinder.
  • Large, 52mm throttle bodies are fed by a 9.0 liter airbox with a flat-panel air filter for easy maintenance.
  • Pulsed-air injection system (PAIR) helps reduce emissions.
  • Semi-gear driven valve system simplifies maintenance and minimizes cam sprocket size and engine height for optimum engine placement.
  • Lightweight shim-under-bucket valve system operates 36 mm intake and 33mm exhaust valves set at a narrow 29 degree included valve angle - produces a compact combustion chamber and 11.3:1 compression ratio.
  • SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation.
  • Six-speed transmission features a wide diameter, hydraulically-operated clutch with back-torque limiter system. Clutch cover includes a new large-volume crankcase breather system.
  • High efficiency liquid cooling system for optimum engine operation temperature - includes compact oil cooler.
  • Lightweight magnesium valve covers, ignition cover, and sound deadening plastic outer clutch cover.
  • Attractive stainless steel exhaust system with aluminum mufflers is tuned to enhance the engine's power characteristics torque output.

Chassis Features

  • SV1000S: Sleek half fairing features dual 60/55W headlights with running lights and folding mirrors.
  • SV1000: Tube style handlebar for more upright seating position, plus single, round-style 60/55W headlight.
  • Compact instrument cluster includes analog tach, LCD speedometer, odometer/tripmeters, and temperature gauge, plus LCD clock and low fuel warning light.
  • Steeply-angled tail section houses unique vertically-styled, high visibility LED taillight.
  • Narrow, lightweight aluminum truss-style frame is constructed using high-vacuum die-cast process for more consistent strength and fewer individual welded sections.
  • Cast aluminum handlebars connect to a fully adjustable 46 mm, cartridge-style front fork with 4.72 inches of wheel travel for sport performance and a comfortable ride.
  • Aluminum swingarm and link-type rear suspension features a fully adjustable piggyback style shock absorber with 5.12 inches of wheel travel.
  • Dual front disc brakes with large 310mm rotors and four-piston calipers, plus single-disc rear brake with 220mm rotor and dual-piston rear caliper.
  • Lightweight cast aluminum wheels - F: 3.50 x 17 with 120/17 radial tire, R: 5.5 x 17 with 180/55 rear tire.
  • Large under-seat storage area, passenger grab-bar and tie-down hooks.
  • 4.7 gallon fuel tank with low-fuel warning light.
  • 12 month unlimited mileage limited warranty.
