A new cast-aluminum-alloy frame. Exciting new bodywork with increased aerodynamics. An advanced engine management and fuel injection system with adjustable on-the-fly mapping. Fully adjustable high-performance suspension, and radial-mount brakes. Delivering open-class racetrack performance in a middleweight-sized package.
It’s as if the talented team of engineers responsible for the GSX-R750 designed a racebike with street equipment like lights, instruments and a horn and mirrors. Which makes it more obvious what the 2008 GSX-R750 really is.

New Engine

  • New larger 41mm ventilation holes between cylinders to reduce crankcase pressure and mechanical loss
  • New electronic fuel injection system features Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system - with dual fuel injectors per cylinder and new compact 8 hole, fine spray injectors for improved fuel atomization.
  • New S-DMS engine management system allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch
  • Under deceleration the back torque limiting clutch reduces pressure on the clutch plates for smoother downshifting and corner entry
  • New clutch cover and oil pan feature new internal ribs for increased rigidity and reduced engine noise
  • New Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
  • New high volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with an innovative under engine chamber leading to a new large volume muffler with a new distinctly shaped triangular silencer
  • New hydraulic cam chain tensioner automatically adjusts while reducing noise and mechanical losses.
  • New Ignition coil outer diameter is smaller for reduced weight and the starter motor uses new rare earth magnets for a compact lightweight design
  • New 32 bit ECM features 1024 kilobytes of ROM for maximum engine performance working in conjuction with the new S-DMS engine management system

 New Chassis

  • The 2008 GSX-R750 features a sharp new look utilizing a bold new headlight design, new angular tail section and compact overall layout
  • New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
