Suzuki Is Working on a New VVT for GSX-R1000

[Admin]

Say Goodbye to the All-Mechanical Setup Suzuki’s current GSX-R1000 has a variable valve timing system it got from the GSX-RR Moto GP bike. It’s an all-mechanical system and a darn good one. However, it seems Suzuki will drop that tried and true system for a new hydraulic VVT system, according to Cycle World. The publication spotted some patent ...

This allows for a much wider performance curve of the engine as well as an added benefit to emissions.

It's about time!
