The 2008 model year brings upgrades to the entire GSX-R family and the GSX-R600 is not making an exception. Suzuki upgraded the engine and made it more compact, while increasing the responsiveness and the performance. The fuel injection system is of course new, and matches the redesigned combustion chamber and pistons. The whole power plant was redesigned for more power and the new engine management system takes good care of everything. | The 2008 model year brings upgrades to the entire GSX-R family and the GSX-R600 is not making an exception.

9 kg Lighter overall, Showa Big Piston Forks (BPF),[1] Brembo monobloc radial front brake calipers, re-designed lighter frame and swingarm, 15 mm shorter wheelbase. New gauge cluster similar to that used on the GSX-R1000. New cams, lighter pistons, higher compression and pentagonal ventilation holes on the block increases mid-range torque. | |||
