The 2024 GSX-S1000GT+ intelligently combines the championship performance of its GSX-R1000-based engine with a nimble, lightweight chassis to provide riders with an exciting and comfortable GT riding experience. Here is a Grand Tourer with sportbike level functionality, avantgarde styling, truly functional integrated side cases, plus an extensive selection of optional accessories.

Ready to go the distance, the GSX-S1000GT+ has revitalized sport touring, becoming the motorcycle that performance-minded touring enthusiasts desire, whether heading out on a long trip with a passenger on board or enjoying a sporty solo romp up a twisty ribbon of asphalt. The GSX-S1000GT+’s performance is a revelation, its appearance breathtaking, and the Suzuki mySPIN connectivity application integrated into the full-color TFT instrument panel provides easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.

Using long-stroke, GSX-R engine architecture, the 999cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled DOHC in-line four engine delivers smooth, consistent power throughout its wide power band. This enhances the riding experience, both at the low- to mid-range engine speeds commonly used in daily riding, and through the mid- to high-range used when travelling long distances on the highway. Refined and controlled performance is managed by Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) technology, including electronic cruise control, traction control* and clutchless quick shifting, so passing slower traffic is an opportunity, never a challenge.

The twin-spar aluminum frame and superbike-braced swingarm help deliver agile handling and great road-holding ability that will go the distance. Visually stunning, the trellis-style sub-frame design creates secure attachment points for the standard, high capacity 25.7L saddlebags, while allowing for a thick, more comfortable passenger seat. The GSX-S1000GT+’s cargo capacity and suspension control can flex to each new destination, thanks to its fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. Front braking comes from the ABS-equipped** dual, radial-mounted, four-piston, Brembo-front brake calipers and 310mm floating stainless-steel rotors.

Comfort is vital to miles of effortless performance, and the GSX-S1000GT+ is ready to accept your next long ride. Sit behind the wind-tunnel developed windscreen and grasp the wide, cast-aluminum handlebar that is positioned for a comfortable reach while delivering the proper leverage to guide the GSX-S1000GT+ on any road. The handlebar’s special rubber mount damps vibration to the rider’s hands, while all the footrests have durable rubber inserts to damp vibration to the rider’s and passenger’s boots. The rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that maximizes comfort on long rides, and both have a cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement. The rider’s seat-shape further expands freedom of movement, while the pillion design maximizes passenger comfort and integrates well with the stylish grab-bar design.

The GSX-S1000GT+ is now the standard for sport touring performance and comfort. The GT+ leads with a raked nose complete with a pair of horizontally arranged LED headlights, V-shaped position light, sleek mirror design, and side-mounted LED turn signals to fashion a Grand Touring appearance that is distinctively Suzuki. The GT+’s daring styling continues into the standard side cases and optional touring windshield for a fully integrated appearance. For 2024 the body colors are the new Candy Daring Red or the ever-popular Glass Sparkle Black, both with unique GT logos that identify the GSX-S1000GT+ as motorcycling’s best road companion.

*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

Ready to split the wind, the full fairing sets the standard for aerodynamics and rider wind protection in the sport touring category. The dual mono-focus LED headlights and V shaped LED position light creates a distinctive appearance and great illumination. With, or without the standard side cases in place, the GSX-S1000GT is the performance standard in the Grand Tourer category.

The GSX-S1000GT+ features a large, 6.5 in Thin Film Transistor, or TFT, panel that is easy to read in any light condition and features a format that makes it easy for the rider to adjust many of the bike’s S.I.R.S. features. The panel also features Suzuki’s mySPIN connectivity application that seamlessly links to a smartphone to provide easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.

Worldwide emissions-compliant, the 999cc, GSX-R-based engine has increased peak power, with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that’s smoothly controlled by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies, for a Grand Touring experience that’s extraordinary.

Upright ergonomics deliver superb control and comfort, while the twin-spar aluminum frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension deliver controlled handling. The ABS-equipped** Brembo Monobloc brake calipers with dual, floating brake rotors provide controlled stopping power.

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) smooths shifting and engine braking, while the standard Bi-directional, Quick Shift system gives your clutch hand a rest. Right hand comfort is increased with the hybrid throttle system and the precise electronic cruise control.

The latest iteration of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) includes the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the updated, five-mode Advanced Traction Control System*, Bi-directional Quick Shift System, and the popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems.

Select the new Candy Daring Red or the ever-popular Glass Sparkle Black paint scheme – each featuring fresh identity logos for motorcycling’s Grand Touring leader.

The GSX-S1000GT’s long-stroke GSX-R engine has been refined to produce a broad, smooth torque curve through the full rev-range, with impressive peak horsepower.

Compared to the prior generation GSX-S1000 engine, the GT’s camshaft profiles decrease lift and valve overlap, not only to improve emissions, but balance the engine’s performance and drivability, while enhancing rider control.

The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster were designed with select materials to reduce friction and improve durability.

Suzuki’s legendary Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design is machined into the cylinder head that, with the flat-top pistons, achieves an optimal 12.2:1 compression ratio that helps deliver a broad spread of power throughout the entire rev range.

Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast for optimal rigidity and weight.

The engine case finish presents a strong image of quality, while the design of the engine covers (clutch, stator, and drive sprocket) feature a smooth shape and metal-like finish.

Electronic throttle bodies are employed on the GSX-S1000GT+, so engine response is smoother and more controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner.

The air cleaner’s internal structure contributes to the GSX-S1000GT+’s strong engine performance while producing the exciting intake sound for which the GSX-S1000 is renowned.

The GSX-S1000GT+’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system has a centralized mass, under-chassis design with sharp looks, and an exciting note.

A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the muffler, while the sculpted muffler has a pleasing appearance that’s uncommon to under-chassis exhausts and creates an exciting, distinctive sound that won’t overpower the rider and passenger’s senses.

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.

The lower cowl and radiator-shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity, curved radiator.

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).

TRANSMISSION FEATURES

Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GT’s race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

The precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the best gear for the riding conditions.

The latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch is fitted to the GSX-S1000GT. 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.

The strong, 525 drive chain uses O-rings to preserve internal lubrication, so power is transmitted smoothly and quietly.

CHASSIS FEATURES

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 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.

Connected to the swingarm is a link-type rear suspension, with a single shock absorber that features seven-way adjustable spring preload with rebound-damping force adjustment.

The 43mm inverted KYB fork has adjustable compression and rebound damping, plus spring preload adjustment with a generous 120 mm (4.7 inches) of front wheel travel.

Unique to GSX-S1000 models, the TRP six-spoke, lightweight, cast aluminum wheels look great and contribute to the bike’s nimble handling and sporty performance.

Like the tires fitted to the GSX-S1000 sports roadster, Dunlop’s Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front and a wide 190/50ZR17 at the rear) were custom-engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S1000GT+, providing great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.

These wheels and new tires work in harmony with revised front- and rear-suspension settings to help realize the great grip, stability and nimble handling demanded for sporty performance, while also contributing to a comfortable ride.

Dual front brakes, with fully floating 310mm discs and Brembo Monobloc calipers, with four 32mm opposed pistons, provide strong and consistent stopping power when riding solo or two-up.

The front brakes are complemented by a 240mm rear disc brake, with a Nissin single-piston caliper to help ensure controlled stops.

Both the front and rear brakes can be modulated by a compact Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** controller to match stopping force to the available traction.

In contrast to the prior generation GSX-S1000F, the GSX-S1000GT+ features a more upright riding position for greater comfort and control.

The matte black, tapered cast-aluminum handlebar contributes to the excellent riding ergonomics and performance-oriented style.

The aluminum pegs of both the rider and passenger footrests are covered with vibration-absorbing rubber. This reduces the amount of vibration transmitted to the feet, which improves comfort, especially on long rides.

The rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that maximizes comfort on long rides. Both have a weather-resistant cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement.

Stepped to provide a good view over the rider’s shoulder, the passenger seat is set 2.3 in. (60 mm) higher than the rider’s seat.

The black finish on the shifter, rear brake, and both hand levers matches the performance nature of the motorcycle.

**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

BODY & STYLING FEATURES

The shape of the upper and lower fairing effectively moves the wind flow away from the rider, reducing direct pressure to the rider’s helmet, shoulders, and knees.

Much of the GSX-S1000GT+’s aerodynamic effectiveness arises from the windscreen that was developed to maximize wind protection to the rider and passenger, thus enhancing the Grand Touring experience.

An optional Touring Windscreen that is 2.75 in. (70 mm) taller than the standard screen fitted is available. This taller screen also arches forward, further reducing air flow to the rider and passenger.

Aerodynamic performance and wind protection influenced the design of the fairing-mounted mirrors and mirror stalks. Head and stalks were shaped to streamline the flow of air across the mirrors, reducing the amount of wind that reaches the riders hands.

Designed with spacious storage capacity and the ability to clip on and off the motorcycle in seconds, the GT+’s large capacity side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the motorcycle’s sharp, futuristic styling.

The GSX-S1000GT+’s fuel tank is a generous 19 L (5.0 US Gal.) to reduce the frequency of gas stops while touring or commuting.

The styling goal of the GSX-S1000GT+ was to visually express the performance potential, comfort, and pleasure of this true grand touring motorcycle. At the same time, the GT’s appearance is intended to convey the refinement and sophistication of a Suzuki motorcycle that offers advanced rider support tools like S.I.R.S. and mySPIN.

From designer concept to wind-tunnel tuning, the GSX-S1000GT+’s sharp lines, radical front face, and aerodynamic good looks all speak to the sporty soul of this GT machine.

The standard side cases and the optional Touring Windscreen were styled at the same time as the base motorcycle, so when fitted, they present an integrated appearance.

The 2024 GSX-S1000GT+ arrives with a pair of body color choices:

The distinctively styled “GT” logos on the fairing sides lend an intelligent and sophisticated look that befits a grand tourer. Understated SUZUKI logos on the fuel tank also contribute to the sophisticated appearance.

The custom-designed ignition key sports the special GT logo in gold lettering on its grip to add a luxurious touch and aims to instill pride-of-ownership in this premium model.

ELECTRICAL & LIGHTING FEATURES

The oil-cooled, three-phase charging system provides ample power for the GSX-S1000GT+’s maintenance-free battery and ride-enhancing electronics.

Suzuki’s Easy Start System requires just a simple touch of the starter button to fire up the engine (without pulling the clutch lever if the transmission is in neutral).

Rather than using a more complex and slower conventional wiring harness, the GSX-S1000GT+’s Computer Area Network (CAN)-style wire harness functions as an interconnected information network.

A powerful 32-bit ECM provides state-of-the-art engine management that contributes to the operation and optimization of the GSX-S1000GT+’s electrical and S.I.R.S. components.

The GSX-S1000GT+ is equipped with Suzuki’s innovative multifunction handlebar switches that are laid out to maximize operating ease and efficiency. A Local Interconnected Network (LIN) wire harness is used for fast and precise communication between the TFT LCD instrument panel and the handlebar switches.

The TFT LCD screen, ECM, and all other electronics on the GSX-S1000GT+ were rigorously tested in an anechoic chamber to help ensure they are not susceptible to magnetic interference from external sources.

Matched well to the GSX-S1000GT+ aerodynamic styling, the compact, dual LED headlight assembly is set within the nose of the fairing.

Supplied by Koito®, the independent, high- and low-beam headlights use Mono-focus LED technology that shines light directly through a convex lens to brightly illuminate the road.

A wide, V-shaped LED position light is set into the brow of the front fairing above the dual hexagonal-shaped LED headlights, making the GSX-S1000GT+ clearly visible to pedestrians and other traffic. This configuration creates an illuminated face unlike any other motorcycle.

Front LED turn signals within thin, arrow-shaped housings, extend outward from the middle fairing. The thin, arrow-like LED rear-turn signals combine with an LED combination light to complement the stylish lines of the trim tail section and match well to the bike’s unique styling.

With lower electrical draw than conventional lighting, the LED headlights, position light, turn signals and taillight compliment the GSX-S1000GT+’s wind-cheating body, while improving both visibility and durability.

TFT LCD MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY FEATURES

Developed specifically for use on Suzuki motorcycles, the GSX-S1000GT+’s instrument panel uses a 6.5-inch, full-color TFT LCD screen.

This high-quality instrument panel is set into the inner fairing above the handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris. The large TFT LCD panel, itself, features a scratch-resistant surface, and an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.

The brightness adjustable TFT display delivers a wide range of useful information, keeping the rider fully aware of all the bike’s systems, settings and real-time operating status; when connected to the rider’s smartphone it can also display maps, incoming and outgoing phone calls, contacts, and music for even greater convenience, functionality and fun.

The display format provides operational information in an easily recognizable way:

Two secondary TFT LCD screens allow the rider to choose and adjust the settings on certain motorcycle and mySPIN features.

The TFT LCD readouts include:

The main TFT LCD panel is flanked by LED indicators, including:

Located to the left of the instrument panel is a USB outlet that the rider can use to charge a smartphone or power other accessories, like a GPS for navigation.

SUZUKI MYSPIN CONNECTIVITY FEATURES

Available through the Apple App Store or Google Play, riders can install the free SUZUKI mySPIN app on their smartphone. Once installed, mySPIN provides an array of useful functions from five bundled applications specifically developed for motorcycle use.

The mySPIN applications appear on the TFT LCD panel with similar fonts and display format to the motorcycle’s systems, providing the rider a familiar appearance and intuitive operation of the updated left handlebar switch assembly. This familiarity will help when accessing features and content, or to change settings while riding.

The mySPIN system applications include Contacts, Phone, Maps, Music and Calendar
