The GSX Series is Suzuki's range of sport touring motorcycles driven by four-valve per cylinder four-stroke motors. The initially GSX models were introduced inside 1980 as well as the hot GSX machines upgrading much of Suzuki's four-stroke road bicycle range: the GS Series. Suzuki road motorcycles with four-valve per cylinder force were provided the 'GSX' designation with distinguish the new machines within the two-valve Suzuki's, aside from inside North America where Suzuki four-valve plus two-valve four-stroke road bicycles were both designated because Suzuki GS motorcycles.

The two-valve motors stayed inside creation inside parallel with all the four-valve energy vegetation, the heavier two-valve four-cylinder machines gaining shaft-drive plus being utilized with force Suzuki's more touring-orientated bicycles including the GS 850G plus GS1100G, with all the performance oriented Suzukis being GSX machines
The two-valve GS Series was Suzuki's initially real foray into four-stroke motorcycles. Although Suzuki yielded 90cc plus 123cc four-stroke single cylinder road bicycles beneath the brand Colleda inside the mid-1950s, up till 1976 Suzuki was generally a builder of two-stroke motorcycles. Suzuki's range of road going motorcycles was virtually completely two-stroke inside the mid-1970s. The sophisticated Suzuki GT series as well as the flag-ship 750cc water-cooled, posi-lube lubricated, three-cylinder two-stroke GT750 characterizing the breed. The GS750 introduced inside 1976, together with the parallel-twin GS400, was Suzuki's initial big multi-cylinder four-stroke motorcycle. The GS was Suzuki's variation of what was plus is called a Universal Japanese Motorcycle or UJM, thus prevalent was this 4-cylinder four-stroke configuration among the Japanese producers at the time. The 63 bhp air-cooled, twin-cam, in-line 4 cylinder, GS750 road bicycle set the pattern for the GS/GSX range till the birth of the initial of the race-replicas, the 1985 air/oil-cooled Suzuki GSX-R750. The GS750 two-valve engine showed the influence of Suzuki's extended history of two-stroke shape plus manufacture; the new four-strokes sporting pushed together roller bearing crank-shafts universally employed inside two-stroke bottom ends.

The key feature of the GSX engine was the change within the normal two-valve per cylinder hemispherical combustion room with domed piston shape of the GS engine, with a four-valve per cylinder Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber with flat topped piston shape. The TSCC shape was basically a modification of the Pent-roof combustion room shape with that was added a somewhat raised ridge running over the combustion room rooftop parallel with the fuel flow of the inlet charge. This was with motivate controlled swirl of the incoming fuel-air charge inside purchase with strengthen the gas burn speed by greater flame front propagation. The high burn speed, combined with lowered heat reduction within the shallower combustion chambers produced by comparatively narrow included valve angles as well as the flat topped piston meant which the GSX motors yielded more energy plus torque than the same sized GS mills.

The alternative main difference with all the initial GSX machines was move from direct overhead cam actuation of the valve by shim plus bucket of the GS motors, with valve actuation through brief forked rocker arms inside the GSX -the valves stems plus springs being situated inboard within the camshafts due with the reduced included angle between inlet plus exhaust valves. Apart within the heads the GS/GSX motors were of the widespread shape.

The active range of bicycles by which name are completely different designs which employ derivatives of past super sports motors within the early-to-middle GSX-R series.

Among the earliest GSX models were the two-cylinder GSX 250 as well as the GSX 400.

These Suzuki GSX models were the development of the GS series of two-valve-per-cylinder air plus oil-cooled four-stroke motorcycles. The initial four-valve machines were yielded for the 1980 model year, however, retained the "GS" designation for the US plus Canadian markets till the launch of the GSX-R models inside 1986. These GSX motors were based about Suzuki's "TSCC" engine shape, plus shared small with past two-valve models. The bicycle called Suzuki Katana inside the US had this engine shape, with designations of GSX-S, however has small inside prevalent with all the more contemporary GSX-F Katanas, that are sport-touring bicycles.

The TSCC engine was again redesigned inside 1983 with all the introduction of the completely hot GSX 750, Suzuki's initial contemporary mono-shocked sportbike inside both a nude plus half-faired adaptation. Although this bicycle received strong reports from testing publications, its launch was an ill-timed duel against Honda's all-new V4 engine inside the shape of the VF750 Interceptor.

The 1983 GSX 750ES had air-adjustable anti-dive forks, preload plus compression-adjustable back mono-shock, disk brakes at both ends, a gas gauge plus digital gear signal.

The bicycle disappeared from dealers inside 1984, with be changed with all the GS 700 - a bicycle with a de-stroked engine plus minor aesthetic variations. Minor tweaks included taller pistons plus somewhat differing cam lift plus timing. This and a change inside factory gear ratios enabled Suzuki with provide a motorcycle with near-identical performance requirements with the GSX 750ES, besides the fact that engine displacement was 15 per cent small with meet the revised US import regulations. These included improved tariffs imposed by the US government about all imported motorcycles displacing over 700cc. This 50 per cent tariff was the cause behind the glut of de-stroked 650 cc plus 700 cc Japanese motorcycles available inside the US inside the mid-1980s - distinctive with the rest of the planet - plus is moreover the cause the GSX-R debuted inside the US a full year later than the rest of the globe. It was accessible because the nude GS 700E plus because the GS 700ES with bikini fairing.

This function was largely inside vain for the US marketplace, still, because the GSX 750S Katana was completely restyled inside 1984, as well as the GSX-R 750 was introduced abroad, painting a certain demise for the comparably ho-hum ES. 1984 additionally saw an update inside color schemes for the GSX 750ES inside the rest of the planet, with all the nude "E" being dropped inside prefer of the half-faired "ES" along with a new "EF" model with full upper plus lower sport fairings.
GSX1100F.

The GSX 750E lived about for a limited more years abroad, however, was eventually superseded by the GSX-F series Katanas. The GSX-S Katanas were additionally dropped from Suzuki's standard lineup, changed by the GSX-R series. The GSX 1100 lived about with immense styling changes for the 1984 model year, including a full-faired 124 bhp monster of the musclebike, the GSX 1100EFE. The bigger bicycles, though nonetheless sought-after because classic superbikes, were moreover changed by the GSX-R plus GSX-F Katana lineups, with noticeable body styling changes including an electrically operated screen inside the 1100F, upgraded suspension plus braking components, plus frame revisions.
The GSX 750S received an up-to-date engine for 1984, together with Suzuki's different big-bore four-valver models. This really is the engine which the initial Suzuki GSX-R Series bicycles were based about.

Current GSX models are driven by derivatives of the in-line, four-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder, that is equally employed inside the Suzuki Bandit Series as much as the finish of the 2006 model year. They feature a combined air/oil cooling program called SACS.

The active GSX series is yielded because the GSX600F plus GSX750F faired sport touring models, today inside their next decades, as well as the unfaired, twin-shock GSX 750 plus GSX 1400 models.

The GSX650F, yielded from 2008, is basically a variation found on the Bandit 650, with much the same specification plus components. The additional lower fairing, still, offers it a sportier look synonymous to this of the Suzuki GSX-R Series, the engine has had a little amount of remapping with motivate revs, as well as the suspension is tweaked. It also offers a one-piece seat, unlike the Bandit.

The earlier GSX 1200 Inazuma was available inside Japan plus Europe for a brief time besides the GSF 1200 Bandit with cater for a clients which went for a more conventional styling along with a somewhat high build standard. Whenever it proven sufficiently common for overseas export, it was fast developed into the present GSX 1400.

These contemporary non-US GSX-models carry small inside widespread with their early with mid-eighties cousins additional than a remote ancestor inside their powerplant. The GSX 1100S Katana has been reissued because an anniversary model many instances for the Japanese domestic marketplace, plus Yoshimura has introduced a tiny few of totally re-worked factory GSX 1100S Katana models for sale, requiring possible customers with win an essay contest before being granted the chance with buy 1 of these bicycles.

The GSX 250F is termed as the Suzuki Across plus is notable because it has a back petrol tank along with a helmet storage location where the petrol tank commonly is.
The Suzuki GS series was Suzuki Motor Corporation's initially full range of 4-stroke driven road motorcycles, having earlier virtually only manufactured 2-stroke machines. Suzuki had yielded the 4-stroke Colleda COX 125cc plus 93cc 4-stroke single-cylinder machines inside 1955 nevertheless the rest of Suzuki's creation from 1952 with 1976 had been increasingly sophisticated two-strokes, whose ultimate expression was the 750cc 3-cylinder water-cooled GT750.
The initially of the GS Series was the four-cylinder GS750 introduced alongside the GS400 parallel twin inside November 1976.. The GS750 engine was basically patterned off the Kawasaki Z1-900, plus became the shape basis for all air-cooled Suzuki four-stroke fours till the launch of the GSX-R. The GS750 engine was fitted into a double cradle frame with telescopic forks, twin back shocks along with a front disk brake. The fresh GS750 was lauded for the handling at the time of its launch, that had been a noticeable improvement over its Japanese contemporaries, the elder Honda CB750, the shaft-driven Yamaha XS750, as well as the more effective yet wayward handling Kawasaki 900.

The GS range was extended inside next model years with a small 550cc four-cylinder GS550 plus bigger GS1000 added inside 1977 with all the range eventually including 125cc single cylinder machines the GS125 plus heavier retro-styled machines like the GS1200SS
The authentic GS designs share widespread engine shape ingredients of air-cooling, roller bearing crankshafts, two-valves per cylinder plus double overhead camshafts working straight about shim plus bucket tappets. In 1980 the initial main upgrading of the 750cc plus 1000cc machines with 16-valve heads with all the valves being actuated though brief forked rockers, as well as the enhancement of the litre bicycle with 1100cc. The hot heads incorporated Suzuki's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber development plus machines sporting the fresh technologies were designated because GSX models inside Japan, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, plus other markets, differentiating them off their two-valve per cylinder stable mates. In the Americas the GS code continued with chosen for both 4 plus 2 valve per cylinder machines.

The introduction of air-oil cooling through big radiators well-known as SACS inside the road-going Suzuki motorcycle demarcated the GS/GSX machines within the new development of the GSX-R machines, still this distinction is blurry somewhat by later models including the GS1200SS that utilized the SACS prepared GSF1200 Bandit engine.
During the 1970s plus early 1980s the GS-range of models plus modern machines from different Japanese manufactures shared a lot of usual shape designs plus qualities which this commonality of shape gained the moniker the Universal Japanese motorcycle. The universality of shape wasn't which surprising because the GS as well as its contemporaries were tailored because 'general reasons motorcycles' capable of sport riding, touring plus commuting. It wasn't till the further development of more cause specialized machines, beginning inside the GS range with all the shaft-drive models for touring as well as the more sports-oriented GS1000S plus GS/GSX1100 Katana models plus later completely faired touring machines plus race-replicas.

The range of motorcycles inside the series had engine displacements between 125 cc plus 1150 cc, plus include the GS400 plus GS500. The GS series additionally include the authentic Katana series, though both the 1000 as well as the 1100 had 16 valves, therefore being a GSX. It was nevertheless nevertheless designated because a GS about certain markets, mainly inside the US.
The "G" suffix following the model amount indicates the model uses the shaft drive rather of the chain drive program. The G models included the GS650G plus GL, GS750G plus GL, GS850G plus GL, GS1000G plus GL, plus GS1100G, GK, plus GL. The G models were standard bicycles with flat seats. The GL models were cruiser-style bicycles with chrome fenders, small fuel tanks, pull back handlebars, smaller exhausts, plus stepped seats. The GS1100GK became a full-dress bicycle with factory fairing, torso, plus difficult bags.

The GS1000 plus GS1100 shaft drive models used the 8-valve motors when later GS1000S plus all GS1100 chain drive models received the 16 valve machines.
A four-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine inside that the piston completes 4 separate strokes that include a single thermodynamic cycle. A stroke pertains with the full travel of the piston over the cylinder, inside either way. While risqué slang amidst certain automotive fanatics names these respectively the "suck," "squeeze," "bang" plus "blow" strokes. they are more commonly termed

INTAKE: this stroke of the piston starts at top dead center. The piston descends within the top of the cylinder with the bottom of the cylinder, improving the amount of the cylinder. A mixture of gas plus air is forced by atmospheric stress into the cylinder by the consumption port.
COMPRESSION: with both consumption plus exhaust valves shut, the piston returns with the best of the cylinder compressing the air or fuel-air mixture into the cylinder head.
POWER: this might be the begin of the next revolution of the cycle. While the piston is close with Top Dead Centre, the compressed air–fuel mixture inside a gasoline engine is ignited, with a spark connect gasoline motors, or that ignites due with the heat produced by compression inside a diesel engine. The resulting stress within the combustion of the compressed fuel-air mixture forces the piston back down towards bottom dead centre.
EXHAUST: throughout the exhaust stroke, the piston again returns with top dead centre whilst the exhaust valve is open. This action expels the invested fuel-air mixture by the exhaust valve.
