* Patent granted in Japan for biaxial primary balancer that positions its two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM

When activated, this system lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever while in motion. Features include clean upshifts with smooth acceleration and downshifts that are also quick and easy, thanks in part to automatic blipping and engine braking working together. The gear shift linkage system load rate is optimized to provide a solid, satisfying click with each shift that assures you the gearbox has responded immediately to your action.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Instantly distinguishable by the striking look of its upswept muffler design the 2-into-1 exhaust system is engineered to produce a pleasing notes and to maximize power output.

SUZUKI CLUTCH ASSIST SYSTEM (SCAS)

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps to reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smooth shifting, especially when riding in traffic, travelling long distances, or exploring trails. The system’s assist function helps efficiently transfer torque to the rear wheel when accelerating. Its slipper function delivers smoother deceleration when downshifting for better control that lets you ride with greater confidence.

CHASSIS GEOMETRY OPTIMIZED FOR ON-ROAD COMFORT

• A dedicated handle position that creates a slight forward lean that enables the rider to shift weight to better control the bike when cornering
• A seat height at 825mm which helps the rider to firmly plant feet on the ground when stopped
• Adjustable Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) SFF-BP* suspension to deliver a smooth comfortable ride
• 19-inch front and 17-inch rear 7 spoke cast aluminum wheels with Dunlop Tires help realize nimble handling, solid grip, and stability
• Sure stopping power and controllable braking performance is provided by four-piston radial-mount brake calipers mated with 310mm outer diameter dual discs up front, and a 260mm outer diameter disc with a single-piston pin-slide caliper in the rear.

SEAT DESIGN

The V-STROM 800 seat is designed for comfort and freedom of movement on long touring runs. It features a dense foam cushion and durable solid-mount design that ably handles weight shifts as you change position and stands up well to input load from the road surface. And the V-STROM logo embossed on the seat surface adds a pleasing design accent. Rubber-covered aluminum rider foot pegs provide comfort when touring for long distances.

REAR CARRIER

The rear carrier with integrated passenger grab bars is handy for carrying extra gear or mounting a genuine accessory top case. Additional comfort and convenience come from knowing that the 20L fuel tank capacity extends your riding range between refueling stops.

HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WINDSCREEN

The relatively tall height-adjustable windscreen for the V-STROM 800 features a shape and size defined by extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis that helps reduce fatigue on long rides by cutting wind noise and preventing buffeting.

COLOR TFT LCD INSTRUMENT PANEL

A 5-inch colour TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel is clearly legible in day and night mode and gives the rider real time operating information. The tachometer does double-duty as a programmable rpm indicator that blinks when the engine reaches a present speed, and the LCD includes a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and warnings.

DISTINCTIVE LED LIGHTING

The vertically stacked pair of hexagonal LED headlights topped by an LED position light helps create a slim, compact face with a thoroughly modern look. Compact LED turn signals and an LED taillight also help ensure clear visibility and practical durability.

USB PORT FOR EASY CHARGING

A USB (Type-A) port built into the left side of the multifunction instrument panel provides much-needed power for all your electronic devices, including GPS. Provides up to 5V output voltage and 2A maximum current.

STCS - Suzuki Traction Control System

Suzuki’s traction control system continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear position sensor, and quickly reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected. Engine output is controlled by managing ignition timing and air delivery to ensure smoother traction control operation. As a result, the rider can enjoy more comfortable long-distance riding, with less stress and fatigue.

SDMS - Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2 maps in the case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. Selecting and switching between mode settings is by a switch on the handlebar; the selected mode setting is displayed on the tachometer. The feature helps the rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations. * The technology is used in GSX-R1000, 750, 600, DL1050 and Hayabusa.

Easy Start System

On a normal motorcycle when starting the engine, the rider needs to press and hold the starter switch until the engine fires up. With the Suzuki Easy Start, all you need to do is one quick push of the starter switch, just like starting a modern car engine. The ECM recognizes the signals and keeps the starter motor working for a specified time.

Low RPM Assist

Low RPM Assist uses the ISC mechanism to help raise engine rpm slightly in launching and riding at low speed. This feature helps smoother operation when pulling away and when riding at slow speeds, this means it’s easier to pull away and easier to control the engine in stop-start traffic.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM

Bi-Directional Quick Shift System lets you shift up or down without the need to operate the clutch or throttle for seamless shifting. When activated, Quick Shift automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration when you shift up. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio.

RIDE BY WIRE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM

Not only is this new cable-free system simpler, lighter and more compact than a mechanical throttle, it provides light, natural, linear response to throttle operation. Precision control over throttle valve action, as realized by leveraging the onboard 32-bit ECM, also makes it possible to introduce other advanced systems that enhance riding ease and controllability.

2-Mode ABS

Allows the rider to shift between two levels of ABS intervention. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively.
