Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2012 Specifications

U-shaped cutouts in the cylinder-bore sides allow air below descending pistons to escape to adjacent cylinders to reduce internal pumping pressure and mechanical power losses.

Lightweight titanium valves allow use of light valve springs and high lift while maintaining accurate valve control. Iridium spark plugs produce more complete combustion.

Curved radiator with a compact, dense-core design and engine-management-computer-controlled two ring-type electric fans mounted on the rear of the radiator, increasing the control accuracy and keeping engine temperature stable.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) serves as back-torque-limiting system for smooth downshifts and also contributes to a light clutch pull.

Advanced aerodynamics offering superb wind protection both for normal and completely tucked-in seating positions.

Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection results in improved power delivery and a more linear response. This system uses engine-computer-operated secondary valves to maintain optimum intake-air velocity for maximum combustion efficiency.

Two 12-hole fine-spray injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and while reducing fuel consumption.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) enables the rider to choose from three different engine power characteristics according to personal preference.

Inverted cartridge front forks featuring Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) surface treatment to reduce stiction and improve reaction to small surface irregularities.

The front forks and the single rear shock absorber both have fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.

310mm (12.2-in) dual-floating-disc front brakes with efficient, race-proven aluminum-piston, radial-mount brake calipers, and 260mm (10.2-in) single-disc rear brake with single-piston brake caliper.

Four analog gauges including step-motor-driven tachometer and speedometer. Round LCD panel includes clock, gear position indicator, S-DMS map indicator, odometer and dual trip meters. Engine-rpm indicator, programmable to blink or stay on between 4,000 and 11,500 rpm.
