Under the skin, the GSX-S1000 is powered by a 999 cc, inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed gearbox, which now puts out 150 bhp at 11,000 rpm. That is an added 5 bhp over the 145 bhp at 10,000 rpm output of the previous generation model. According to Suzuki, there's an overall increase in torque, along with more linear power delivery.

The traction control system monitors the throttle, transmission, and crankshaft positions, along with the speed of both wheels. The ECU then makes adjustments to the throttle valve, fuel injection rate, and ignition timing. The instrument console is new, but it's still a LCD screen, and no TFT has been used.
