BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK? 2017 Suzuki GSXR 1000 **First Ride**

I'm going to age myself here but the 2nd street bike I had was a 1987 GSXR 1100. Back then a beast. I love the 750 now. LOVE ME SOME GIXXERS!

[@CodyDBentley]

Nice bike man! I owned the 2017 GSXR 1000 and now I have the 2018 1000R. I wanted to share some information about the S-DMS and power for anybody who's curious. Basically, it is drive-by-wire and the 3 modes (A, B, and C) adjust the throttle response. "A" mode is a 1:1 mapping of throttle input to throttle valve position. B and C have a curve applied to them so that throttle valve position lags behind throttle input under given RPM conditions so that its not so aggressive. Some what related is the claim about gaining ~20 hp. The bike starts at 199 hp at the crank on an unrestricted throttle map. The US bikes seem to have a throttle clamp so they lose a lot of that power on the top end and don't actually reach full potential. Under high throttle load, the ECM will clamp the throttle to ~70% at ~11k RPM and beyond. The "ECM unlocking" people refer to on these bikes is removing that throttle clamp so that >70% throttle can be maintained at high RPM. Brock's performance did a video about it on their 2017 1000R, it's pretty neat if you get a chance to check it out. Enjoy the bike, and stay safe dude!

[@itsmeericb]

Heck yeah man this is awesome info! Appreciate it! That explains a lot with the power modes. So my ECU was sent to Superbike Unlimitied and flashed with the Slip-On and K&N air filter. The guy I bought it from said it is a screamer up top and he wasn’t lying. He was about 220 or 230lbs and I am 175. It’s a monster in in A mode up top. Down low A and B feel the same under 10k rpm. With my flash I wonder how much power I gained?

[@CodyDBentley]

@@itsmeericb I'm not sure how much the air filter will affect performance, but the slip on probably wont make much difference. The stock muffler is actually really good, and most of the engineering that really affects the performance is the headers through cat section. But that throttle restriction being removed will definitely make a noticeable difference. According to Brock's Performance dyno tests on the stock bike, it makes 160hp@11k RPM to the wheel stock, and 176hp@13k RPM with just the throttle limiter removed (while also carrying higher hp through the rest of the RPM range over stock). I'd suggest checking out Brock's Performance videos on the bike, I learned a LOT about the bike from watching them. He does a ton of dyno testing with different configurations to see what works and what doesn't and documented it all on KZbin: kzbin.info/aero/PLvkxQRU0UbXJCqLIKJbKeyTFEFlWWwuc6

[@itsmeericb]

Cody Bentley What about Chris Moore? He does some pretty good tuning on the new GSXRs as well.

[@CodyDBentley]

@@itsmeericb Is that Moore Mafia? If so, I only just learned of him yesterday because I re-watched a bunch of that playlist I linked after I mentioned it lol. There were newer videos I hadn't seen and Brock shouted out Moore Mafia in it. I haven't checked out any of the Moore Mafia videos yet, but I plan to for sure.

Don't know if you found out yet, but that crack is a manufacturer defect and should be covered under warranty. Common problem in the L7, check out the gixxer.com forums, the top of the dash and is actually a cover that can be replaced seperate from the dash. Great buy, I love mines!!

Ronald Garcia You ain’t lying about the insurance on a 1000!

[@busa_joe1159]

You should the the hayabusa insurance for full coverage is insane in Cali

[@itsmeericb]

Depends... If you have a newer bike and paying payments on it you will probably want to have full coverage to cover you if it gets totaled. Liability and comprehensive is good for theft, vandalism and thing like a tree falling on it. If you don’t have collision, which is part of full coverage and you crash it you’re screwed. Plus if you can pay under a $100 for full coverage why wouldn’t you get it no matter what bike it is?

No need to hold the starter button in either. Press it once and it'll cycle until it starts. That's the primary starting system, if your battery voltage is low it won't turn over at all using the SES system, the you can still start it with the secondary system - pulling in the clutch and holding the starter. It should even start on the secondary system even with a battery output less than 12 volts

Congratulations on your new bike dude 👍🏻 Ive never been a big gixxer fan over the years but i have to say this 2017-on I’m a fan 💯. I did consider a 2019 GSXR 1000R last year when i sold my 2016 Kawasaki Zx10r winter edition. I test rode one and really liked it but in the end i opted for the 2018/19 Aprilia RSV4 RR but I’m taking nothing away from the GSXR its definitely a major player in the 1000cc club. Adam 🇬🇧

[@Porschemovies]

I have a 2020 base GSXR agreed the bike is very smooth and you can ride it slow just as good as you can ride it fast. The gsxr 600/750 have been the same bike for 11 years they are a smaller, compared to everything I have ridden you really sit more in the bike then on top. Also you have wheelie control it’s all together with the tc.

Hey, love the bike. If you wouldn't mind shedding some knowledge upon me. I wanting to buy my first bike. Wanted a gsxr750 but after watching this video. I love the revision of the 2017 gsxr 1000 headlight and digital dash. With your honest opinion. Will driving in C mode dull it down enough for a newbie like me? Also, if you could make a video, doing a comparison of this gsxr 1000 to your 600 or to a 750 while having the 1000 in mode C.

[@itsmeericb]

Aaron Anderson To be honest C mode on this bike is still fast. It just reduces the throttle response in my opinion. The B mode on a 750 is truly “snail” mode, but on the new 1000 it’s still quick. I would I would go with a 600 if it’s your first bike, but a 750 would work too due to the power modes. Once you get comfortable you can take it out of B mode and you won’t have to upgrade bikes.

@@itsmeericb okay! Is it true that the GSXR 1000 2017 is small like the R6? I'm short rider and I'm looking for a small size 1000cc supersport.

[@itsmeericb]

@@namara500 Ehhh the newer 1000 are starting to be the same size as 600s but not all. I don’t think the GSXR is as small. The Ducati Panigale V4 is and maybe a CBR1000RR. The GSXR 1000 isn’t that big though.

@@itsmeericb thank you! 🙏

You know you wanna learn how to wheelie. Just get it over with. We won’t think less of you. I think it would make for interesting content. Even if you crash your shit. But don’t do that.

[@itsmeericb]

Ha! If I’m learning how to wheelie it won’t be on that bike! 😄

[@nwbklr]
