Engine and more torque
Perhaps most impressive about the 2001 Gsxr 1000's power dominance is that it came from an engine virtually identical to the Gsxr 750's and, according to most tuners, in a fairly mild state of tune.
Suzuki moto chose to use as much of the Gsxr 750 as possible, so the Gsxr 1000's bore increase was limited to 1 mm.
The rest of the boost to 988 cc would have to come from stroke, which traditionally benefits torque production more than an increase in peak power.
The Gsxr 1000's 59 mm stroke was the longest in the class in 2001. What's more, Suzuki moto had the audacity to use the Gsxr 750's cylinder head essentially unchanged.
Common wisdom was that valves ideal for a Gsxr 750 would be prohibitively small for a Gsxr 1000 k1. Even the intake system was borrowed straight from the Gsxr 750, with some minor changes and the requisite computer reprogramming.
The servo that controlled the secondary throttle body was now mounted right to the throttle-body rack, not remotely as before. This change would come to the Gsxr 750 in 2002 along with an extremely clever fast-idle system. Before, there had been a small lever on the handlebar to raise the idle speed for starting.
