- Behind the header pipes, the mid-chamber contains a second catalytic converter to help ensure emissions compliance, a low center-of-gravity, and good exhaust flow to help the engine deliver a strong low- to mid-range punch, with an exciting rush to redline.
- A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the muffler, while the sculpted muffler has a pleasing appearance that is uncommon to under-chassis exhausts and creates an exciting, distinctive sound that will not overpower the rider's and passenger's senses.
- With catalytic converters located in the mid-chamber, GSX-S1000GX+ riders can fit an EPA or CARB-compliant silencer from suppliers such as Yoshimura R & D, USA.
- The fairing and radiator shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity, curved radiator.
- The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.
- A thermostatically controlled cooling fan helps ensure lower coolant temperatures when riding in slow-moving traffic. The design also deflects warm air away from the rider at speed.
- Additional heat is removed from the engine via the use of a lightweight and compact liquid-cooled oil cooler (like those used on certain GSX-R models).
- Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GX+'s race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.
- When shifting with the clutch or using the Bi-directional Quick Shift system, the GX+'s precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the best gear for the riding conditions.
- The gearshift cam, shift shaft, and clutch release cam were designed to support the function of the Bi-directional Quick Shift system and still provide precise shifting action with superb feedback to the rider.
- A unique shift sensor sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system responds to the rider's actions, as this design maintains precise shifting feel at the shift lever.
- The latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch is fitted to the GSX-S1000GX+. More than ever before, the SCAS clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.
- This large-diameter, wet, multi-plate clutch uses a precise, cable-activated release, providing the rider with a light pull and superb friction-point feel.
- The strong, 525 drive chain uses O-rings to preserve internal lubrication, so power is transmitted smoothly and quietly.
- Suzuki's proven, twin-spar aluminum frame helps to ensure nimble handling and great road holding ability. The main spars are positioned straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, which promotes higher rigidity and lighter weight.
- The GX+'s new sub-frame provides several benefits. It provides strong and secure attachment points for the side cases. Secondly, the short distance between the upper and lower rails makes it possible to increase the thickness of the rear seat for greater passenger comfort. Additionally, the exposed trellis design adds to the GSX-S1000GX+'s striking looks.
- The sturdy aluminum-alloy swingarm comes straight from the GSX-R1000 and is ruggedly braced, which helps ensure great road-holding ability while enhancing its contemporary superbike looks.
- With more fork stroke and rear wheel travel than the GSX-S1000GT+, the GSX-S1000GX+ has an upright riding position like the V-STROM 1050 and thereby provides greater comfort, even when touring for long distances. The longer suspension can absorb larger bumps when riding over uneven road surfaces.
- Like the fork and shock absorber fitted to the GSX-S1000 sports roadster, the suspension spring rates, and damping force setting are tuned specifically for the GSX-S1000GT+.
