SUZUKI HAYABUSA

2011 Suzuki Hayabusa Specs are out...

Suzuki has revealed the technical specifications of its 2011 model year Suzuki Hayabusa superbike. The bike will be powered by the same 1340 cc liquid cooled, four-stroke, 4-cylinder engine mated to a re-worked 6-speed transmission.
The engine uses pistons made from Aluminium alloy and the compression and oil control rings of the pistons have been coated with a chrome-mitride lining using the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) process. This ensures that the pistons are lightweight while at the same time reducing internal friction and improving the sealing of the cylinders.
The engine is fed fuel via the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) electronic fuel injection system which consists of two 12-hole, fine-spray injectors for each of the bike’s 4-cylinders. The intake air for the engine comes via a ram air intake system alongwith a high volume airbox.
Suzuki has equipped the bike with its Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) in order to limit back-torque coming from the engine and thereby enable smooth downshifting of gears on the bike. The bike is also equipped with Suzuki’s Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system which enables the rider to choose from three different power delivery modes of the engine namely A, B or C mode.
The braking duties of the bike are handled by twin 310 mm disc rotors upfront in conjunction with a single 260 mm disc rotor at the rear. The bike has been fitted with Tokico brake calipers mounted radially in order to reduce unsprung mass and improve the handling characteristics of the bike. The bike weighs in at a hefty 260 kgs and is held up by a 120/70 ZR17 M/C tyre upfront and a 190/50 ZR17 M/C tyre at the rear.
To please the green brigade, Suzuki has fitted the bike with its Pulsed Air Injection System (PAIR), which lowers the bike’s emissions by igniting the unburnt hydrocarbons coming out from the engine after combustion.
The bike still retains its five-pod analogue instrument cluster consisting of a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and engine temperature indicator alongwith displays for the S-DMS, gear position, time, neutral light and a low fuel warning lamp in the centre pod.
The vertically stacked front headlamp has been boosted by increasing its intensity and the LED tailamps now have two lenses, a clear inner lens and a red outer lens.
The bike is available in two colour schemes of Pearl Mirage White with Golden graphics and Peral Nebular Black with Black Graphics. Suzuki has not yet revealed the pricing for the bike, but one things for certain, Suzuki will try to make available this bike in India as soon as possible for the many Hayabusa afficionados waiting to get their hands on one of these mean machines.
