2020 Suzuki Hayabusa

Chassis Features

• Twin-spar aluminum alloy frame is constructed with castings and extrusions to produce a balance of light weight and strength.
• Rear sub-frame made of rectangular steel tubing for ample weight-carrying capacity.
• KYB inverted cartridge forks feature Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on the 43mm stanchion tubes to reduce friction and improve reaction to small road surface irregularities.
• The front forks and the single rear shock absorber both have fully adjustable spring preload, plus compression and rebound damping.
• Standard-equipment steering damper quells unwanted vibration and steering forces.
• Three-spoke cast aluminum alloy wheels shod with 120/70ZR17M/C (58-watt) front and 190/50ZR17M/C (73-watt) rear radial tires.
• Dual 310mm (12.2-inch) floating-brake rotors are mated with radial-mount Brembo Monobloc front brake calipers. The calipers are lighter and more rigid than conventional bolt-together calipers, delivering better feedback, and are fitted with larger pistons that increase initial bite for greater controllability. The hollow-type mounting bolts further reduce weight.
• The solo rear 260mm (10.2 inch) brake rotor is grabbed by a single-piston brake caliper.
• The standard equipment Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)* unit features a lightweight, compact design. The ABS enhances brake performance by helping prevent, to a certain extent, wheel locking due to changes in road conditions or excessive braking by matching stopping power to available traction.
• Radical aerodynamic styling and smooth bodywork provides the Hayabusa its distinctive look, protects the rider from the wind, and improves fuel efficiency.
• Advanced aerodynamics offering superb wind protection both for normal and completely tucked-in seating positions.
• Integrated front turn signals form the outer edges of the functional ram air intake scoop.
• Vertically stacked headlight features a projector high beam and a halogen-bulb multi-reflector low beam.
• Unique tail section features streamlined bulges that integrate with the rear turn signals.
• Bright, durable LED tail light, with clear inner lens and red outer lens.
• Four analog gauges including step-motor-driven tachometer and speedometer. Round LCD panel includes clock, gear position indicator, S-DMS map indicator, odometer, and dual trip meters. Engine rpm indicator is programmable to blink or stay on between 4,000 and 11,500 rpm.
• Silver metallic trim around the analog gauges and LCD panel match the styling of race-specification meters.

Engine Features

• Powerful, 1340cc, inline-four-cylinder, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine delivers a broad wave of torque for effortless acceleration.
• The chrome nitride Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) piston ring coating is harder and smoother than conventional chrome plating, reducing friction while improving sealing to the cylinder.
• Forged three-ring aluminum alloy slipper pistons provide superior strength, while PVD-coated rings reduce friction and improve cylinder sealing.
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating improves heat dissipation, durability, and ring seal.
• U-shaped cutouts in the cylinder-bore sides allow air pressure created by descending pistons to escape to adjacent cylinders to reduce internal pumping pressure and mechanical power losses.
• Lightweight titanium valves allow the use of light valve springs and high-lift camshafts while maintaining accurate valve control.
• Iridium spark plugs produce more complete combustion and last longer than conventional plugs.
• Curved radiator with a compact, dense-core design and two ECM-controlled electric fans keep the engine temperature stable.
• Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) serves as back-torque-limiting system for smooth downshifts and also contributes to a light clutch pull.
• Close-ratio, constant-mesh, six-speed transmission uses dedicated oil spray to the fourth, fifth, and sixth gears to reduce friction, wear, and mechanical noise during high-speed operation.
• Suzuki’s advanced fuel-injection system with tapered, 44mm double-barrel Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) induction improves combustion efficiency and smooth throttle response.
• Two 12-hole fine-spray injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.
• Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves cold starting and helps maintain a stable engine idle under a variety of conditions.
• Suzuki Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) system ignites unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and reduces carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
• Large-volume catalyzer in the twin-silencer exhaust permits high flow while further reducing HC, CO, and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets riders select engine power output to match preferences or riding conditions.

Key Features

• For 2020, riders can select either Candy Daring Red or Metallic Thunder Gray paint schemes. Both schemes feature a contrasting Hayabusa Kanji symbol, plus color-matched wheels and model name decals.
• The powerful, 1340cc, four-cylinder, DOHC engine employs Suzuki’s advanced EFI with two 10-hole fuel injectors feeding each cylinder and dual ram air intakes in the nose of the aerodynamic fairing.
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets the rider tailor the Hayabusa’s power delivery to match the riding conditions.
• Superbike-caliber, twin-spar aluminum frame, and fully adjustable KYB-supplied suspension delivers superlative handling.
• Fully floating 310mm dual front brake rotors are grasped by Brembo Monobloc brake calipers equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS*), delivering reliable stopping power.
• Instantly recognizable as a Hayabusa, the wind-cheating body was truly inspired by a peregrine falcon – the world’s fastest animal.

Other Features

• Stylized Suzuki “S” 3-D emblems on the fuel tank and the fork upper bracket denote the quality, sophistication, and performance legacy of the brand.
• Quality details abound with passenger foot peg brackets, muffler hangers, rider foot peg, and control brackets that evoke the fine art of feudal Japanese armor, Yoroi-Kabuto.
• 12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).
