2016 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS

Additional Features

• Additional lock tumblers that match the bike’s ignition key are included so you can add Suzuki accessory side cases and have the convenience of one-key operation.

Chassis Features

• The aluminum, twin-spar frame was designed with the latest FEM analysis technology. It is stiffer and 13% lighter than that of the previous generation V-Strom.
• The single-shock, link-style rear suspension features rebound damping force adjustment plus remote, hand-operated spring pre-load adjuster.
• Tokico mono-block front brake calipers are mated with 310 mm floating-mount dual discs for strong braking performance.
• Lightweight 10-spoke cast-aluminum wheels (manufactured for Suzuki by Enkei) combine nimble handling with sporty looks.
• A height- and angle-adjustable windscreen was carefully shaped through extensive wind-tunnel testing to reduce wind noise and rider fatigue. The angle is easily adjusted by hand.
• The instruments include an analogue tachometer and a brightness-adjustable LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include an odometer, dual trip meters, the gear position, the coolant and ambient temperatures, the voltage, the riding range, the average fuel consumption, the instantaneous fuel consumption, the traction control mode, a fuel gauge, and a clock.
• The rider can switch between traction control modes and LCD readings using the left handlebar switch.
• 12V DC outlet is conveniently located below the instrument panel. The SAE socket is ideal for powering a GPS unit or charging mobile devices.
• To emphasize Suzuki’s heritage, the bike’s front fairing and beak reflects design cues from the 1988 DR750S, Suzuki’s first adventure touring motorcycle.
• The bright, halogen headlights have the distinctive vertical configuration seen on the Hayabusa and GSX-R sportbikes.
• Rear tail and brake light uses LEDs, which offer higher visibility and greater durability than bulbs.
• The seat is shaped for comfort and to allow riders to easily put their feet on the ground. The side walls of the seat have a high-grip texture for strong hold.

Engine Features

• The 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1037cc 90-° V-twin engine is designed to deliver outstanding performance across the entire powerband. This broad capability is necessary to take on the road surfaces that riders encounter during long-distance tours, such as congested urban streets, stone-strewn roads, high-speed highways and twisting, winding roads.
• Pistons were engineered with use of FEM analysis to achieve ideal rigidity and weight.
• The EFI system employs 10-hole injectors on each throttle body to improve fuel atomization for superior combustion efficiency and frugal fuel consumption.
• State-of-the-art transistorized digital ignition system contributes to a more complete combustion by igniting the mixture at the ideal moment.
