2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000 | One Year Later 

I love my blue GSX!!

This was great to watch, i feel the same about my 2001 gsxr1000. Bought it new then and still ride it today, still love it.

Get a small windshield for $100 , makes all the difference !!! Supersized you ride without.

With you all the way on the comments, I have fitted a Puig screen on mine which eases the wind-blast and looks great, nice video Jon, lovin' the sound of the M4!

i'm getting the 2018 and it not so snatchy. took for a ride today in the ranges and quite frankly i didn't want to give it back. I'll get it in a day or two. All blacked out with a yoshimura fitted for free and $16000. Thanks for ur review and id be taping or blurring out my speed also.

I like your exhaust...but for me, being as poor as i am😂, the stock exhaust sounds really good. Probably the best stock on a litre, ive ever heard

Just ECU flash the thing. Throttle fixed. Big power picked up. Runs cooler. No ignition or secondary throttle flies restrictions. Fixed MPH display. Put an exhaust on it, drop weight, better sound. One thing Suzuki failed on, imo, is the gear ratios. 1st gear is ridiculously tall. And then 6th gear is too stinking short. Surprisingly it gets best in class mpg while turning 4,200 rpm at 60. But it should be 3,800 rpm at 60 because the engine has plenty of torque and drive to run much wider ratios. Can always fix the low end but the top is already too fast.

Nailed it couldn't say it any better bout the bike looks good

Still rocking my bking! Suzuki rocks

Jerky throttle can be fixed with an ECU flash. Send away for about $200. Or get software like Woolich, among others. I got Woolich and the autotune. Installed wideband O2 in aftermarket exhaust. Different bike, especially after you disable the fuel cutoff with the Woolich.

If you want the back tyre that goes over better get the 190/55 instead of the 190/50 it will change it to what you want, it may sit an inch or so higher but will go into the corners a lot better

Iv bought Koso heated grips to fit and an Mra touring screen. Iv also ordered a kantana throttle grip. Yet to ride it in anger due to weather and time. It’s already chipped to 154 at the rear wheel with a titanium race exhaust. Tail tidy led indicators.

Just ordered the 2017 gsxs1000 phantom pick it up next Saturday just can not wait.

Enjoyed your video. have the F version arriving soon had an s1000r but loved my gsxr 750. Looking forward to it. Hope you are well.

I have the gsxs 1000f with high screen no more wind blast problems cruise all day at 130 mph the throttle on it is sharp as soon as you twist it goes but it's no big problem i think the biggest negative is that the suspension could be better it ok but if you have tried Olin's or wp it lacks the plush feel they have.but at the price nothing comes close and for road riding it's more than fast enough . also i get 53 mpg out of mine and it's not ridden slowly.built quality is excellent feels rock solid.love the bike

You are a natural reviewer, would love to see you do new bike reviews every week.

Yea i'm use to it after 3 days, there is a fairing version called the 'F' that dont like wind. I got the blacked out 'Z' R11 yoshi and tail tidy putting out 150hp. Ive gone through 3 tanks in 3 days and can now take it safely past 6000rpm, at 800rpm it just goes berserko. These reviews and other had me choose this bike over the more expensive but slower 765RS and thats a track bike. Thanks for your thoughts and safe riding.

Thanks for the video! I did endup buying the 2016 model this week. :-)

I bought this after KTM superduke 990. Throttle response on GSXS is just sublime compared to SD990

Wasn't sure about the exhaust but looking at this vid I really like it. looking to replace mine , could be the option

Good day sir. You mentioned the TPS adjustment. I highly recommend it. Throttle is very much improved for me after I did mine. My biggest concern was I had a real hard time holding a nice smooth cornering line as the throttle was always too much or too little. I was considering spending dollars for a power commander but the TPS adjustment did the trick. It's not a hard job at all either.

I couldn't agree more, this bike is amazing. I had to install a throttle tamer and a windscreen, couldn't deal with the snatchy response or the wind, well I could, but I didn't want to. I'm thinking about powder coating the rear sets black.

You're really good at reviewing compared to others out there ! I'm really looking forward to get a gsx-1000 but don't know if it's worth to pay more for the 2018 version

Hey man! Perfect video. I’m about to buy the 2018 1000F blue and black. I’ll probably have plenty of questions to ask you but I’ve been doing so much studying up on this bike and the whole family. This bike is sweet ! I would get the naked one and your bike to be exact if I didn’t plan on riding through Colorado mountains since I’m a Colorado native.

I have the Gray 2016 I absolutely love it I put on a Yoshimura slip on and a Power Commander I want to get steel braided brake lines for front and rear but I couldn't find any as of yet I too did the same thing put on a rear Fender eliminator kit cleans it up really nice I went from a gsx R 1000 to this so I agree with you not having a windscreen can get a bit to get used to with the wind blast Other than that it has plenty of highway power Going from a sport bike to a super naked And you're on the highway you'll have just as much fun

😍😍😍yes you are right gsx s1000 is great bike😍😍😍😍 good work bro👏🏻👏🏻👍👍

Buy a screen shield, the 2018 don't have the anatchy thing, the bike its awesome

Hi bro that's dope ass bike bro. Gixxer boyZ represent!

I agreed, the old bike is always throttling control, snatching feeling is a good old bike we loved it not a problem at all ride enough and you know how to control it with muscles memories, but for people who ride a smoother bike and tried out it probably caught off guard and think it too snatchy. for me these feeling is something to uphold cuz it gives feedback and it fun that we always have with a very old bike we drove on. but i do understand some people will not like it, cuz it a personal preference, that why there are people who like BMW Yamaha Honda Suzuki. just for me, it feels more analog quick respond and it instant. and it a reason why i kind of dislike ride by wired system or Yamaha electric throttle input in R1M cuz it engines power curve is kind of weird since it feel lack of power at low RPM and in a bit the power just came caught me off guard what weird feedback. i currently waiting for Katana , but ill buy SV650 for a nice fun ride and getting from places to places close to my home, i just getting tired of driving a car and can't find any parking spot or lots just to buy some equipment of groceries.

Fit a 55 profile tyre , 180 don't always help on the road , good on track though .

Great vid dude. This is going to be my next bike when I have finished with the GSR-750. The throttle on the 750 is the same really snatchy it is either on or off lol.👍🏻

I don’t know if it’s the color combo on your bike but it looks damn sexy

That bike leans so easy for big bige ;)

Great Video man! How does it compare to the 600 you came from? Quite a bit quicker I'm assuming? Really debating on getting one of these!

Use your spare key when gassing up ...and take the key out of the ignition as little as possible ....ignition on these bikes can go bad and your key wont start the bike.... I almost got stuck 2 1/2 hours away from home ...the key wouldn’t turn... after turning the key 300 times it finally turned over and I was able to ride home...so now I never take my key out of the ignition and it works just fine but yours may go out one day.... another guy on RU-vid had to replace his ignition cost him 500 bucks

So sick! Bet it runs great with those modz ! I want that exhaust!! N to make it just kill the twisties just add ($300-installed) HyperPro Front Fort Springs. Feels more nimble/flickable like a 750 and also fixed the vibration in the handlebars, n helps on dem wheelies.

Sweet bike! How's that M4 full system for noise/drone on a longer ride or just commuter use? I love the look and the sound in videos but I don't want something that's gonna be obnoxious all the time. Thanks!

I am about to buy one like yours, same color...

excellent review, have same one in blue color...speaking of tires, what brand/model and rear size of tire you recommend....

What about gear ratios? 1st is pretty tall, 6th is relatively short. Suzuki didn't change ratios at all from the GSX-R donor bike. It's like once you reach the upper end of 1st, you could shift to 3rd, then to 5th because they are all stacked right on top of each other. Suzuki could take a page out of Ducati or KTM's book and give it wide ratios. Also I guess until you ECU flash, the brains of the machine will limit power in 1st through 3rd and cap your top revs power. Common with all OEM bikes.

Hey Jon.com The last bike I had was a 83 gs1100 e It was king of the hill back then. I got to say I think it even looked better than the new one. All though your looks fantastic. Love Suzuki's Tranny's are like butter. I have a lot of aches & pains but they've finally done it. Made another standard I cant resist. I hope to get the 2018 version There's 1 they call the a8l it looks like it has carbon fiber on and around the tank and a few other places .Its gorgeous. I'd probably do the same mods you have just simple stuff. Love the sound of the M4 Never heard of them but been out of the game for awhile. How did you learn of them.Don't understand why Akropovich doesn't make a full exhaust for this bike. Thanks for the vids and ride safe my friend.

How do you like your LED signal lights? Would you buy something different knowing how they function? I have a 2016 myself and want to upgrade to LED signal lights. Thanks

Great video, great bike! Did the m5 slip on sound decent compared to the full exhaust system?

seriously considering this bike after having had a cbr.....hows the acceleration compared to that of a 600cc supersport? Thanks, love the videos man not too many youtubers with this bike . keep it up. ride safe

Have you wanted more power from gsx-s1000, and I was just wondering how the fit/ergonomics are for you I'm 6'1" and looking to getting this bike always loved Suzuki's. Glad I found your video definitely going to be watching your chanel👍

How does this bike compare to a Gen 1 Z1000? 2003-2006. I have a 2003 Z1000 that I just bought recently and I love it, I wanna ride it for a few years but that Suzuki is going to be my next machine when the time comes. I wanna know how much quicker it is and how comfortable and light it feels.

nice job,,im curious about long trips,,i heard you mention it but you may have a dif meaning,,have you done any long day rides 6 hrs in the saddle for a few days ,, I did a 5 day trip on my fz07 and was surprised on how nice it was ,,but thinking of stepping up.appreciate your video

Came with quick shifter stock?

Can I ride this bike as long rides like 400km to 800km ? It's comfortable on 80 to 100 miles?

Uncommon question. Have you done a valve check? This bike really checks all my boxes but what was wondering about the motor. I know the K8 motor is a great motor but was curious about your experience.

Power commander v man! I put one on my 2016 and it drastically improved the throttle. Even my wife was blown away with the improvement, and she don't get too exited about much

Aren't you supposed a red reflector (i got a small 30mm round one) in the rear. Perhaps not in ur state.

Good day. Sir where did you purchase the LED Indicators(Front and Rear)? Looks so Premium.👍

Which is good FZ1 VS GSXS1000

Sir where did you purchase your LED Indicator, it is quite nice. What store Online? Thank You.

Is there a big if any difference from 2016 to 2019 models?

Really liking this bike have a gsxr 600 right now it’s been between this and the mt10 I’ve always had a soft spot for the mt as I had a mt07 couple years back, but the mt 10 closer to 12k in the uk now and Suzuki around 10k, I have yet to still ride both I will soon as weather improves but the Suzuki is really growing on me and not just the price it jus seems a really nice bike and as fast as il ever need ps I do like the cross plane sound

How is it for wheelies? Can you power wheelie? Or just clutch ups? Whats the highest gear for wheelies?

I’m 6’3 I’m told this bike is only good up to 6’1. is there a seat mod I could do or will the new models address this height limit?

Is there any kind of wind screen for that?

hey where are the indicators and fender eliminator from?

I was thinking bout going from my 600 to this bike I was hoping it would have better highway legs would u agree or not so much diffrence

But you still have those God awful little round yellow reflectors on your front fender! OMG

What helmet are you wearing pretty sweet

I got one put a m4 slip on Don't like the sound but will a full exhaust void my warranty??

Did you find that the power commander affected your traction control at all? I read mixed reviews with some claiming that traction control will either not work or struggle with PCV.

Anyone know if it's possible to get a little more leg room on this? I'm a bit cramped... Aftermarket rearsets?

Jon hi,. Can you link what blinkers and tidy kit you have? I love it and would like to do that on my 2016

What do you think of the hidden gem Suzuki Sv650, would love to see your review.

Yo! How is it riding with that helmet? I have a 2016 gsx-s1000 and wanted to get the AGV AX-8 EVO DS, which has the peak on it as well.

I just test rode a 2016. Love it. Love the engine-instant throttle response and how nimble it is. I wonder if the 2018 or later on off throttle is any lbetter? So what is the answer for the wind protection? Are they any good wind screen options? Where did you get the map for the M4 exhaust? Was it tuned on a dyno by a knowledgeable tuner?

Im thinking of pulling the trigger on one found a 2017 with same exhaust system and dyno tuned at 158 rwhp for $7400. Only has 1K miles on it my only hesitation is never owed a naked. Last 2 bikes were 95 gsxr1100 (dating myself) and a Hayabusa. Anyone run the MRA touring screen looks like it would solve the interstate buffering issues?

Is the throttle issue able to be tuned out? Did the power commander help with the throttle snatch any?

I have been riding mine for a year. It is bit boring because of being 4 cylinder inline and fairings are kind of cheap looking. Nothing really bad to say about this bike. Just getting outdated compared to other similiar bikes. I'm currently eyeing 2020 Super Duke. Dunno if going to swap.

How tall are you? I'm 1,88 and it's kinda hard to find a naked bike that suits my height ! Also... Have you ridden the mt10? I think they're very close !

Dude, do these things have hazards?

Surprised you haven't put a small screen on it yet?

Looking at this for my 1st 1000cc bike. How's the engine heat in traffic?

Nice video, I'm a beginner motorcyclist, my first bike at age 48 end am small 166cm,, so which bike of this equation is right for me? I drive daily to work in the city and also the highway and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, which one? don't like Adventure such an engine, love Naked bike so what is your opinion? are they similar to Honda cb 1000 cc r from 2010/2013 or kwa z1000

nice pants nice pants !!!

Hi Friend ! I'm from Poland. As I can see on the video you go only on a straight road. Could you describe how the bike feels on the some curves (running, feeling) ? It is very important for me. Does the bike is easy to drive on the curves as for example Triumph Speed Triple 1050 ? Regards, Thanks

Nice bike Are you going try an ecu flash one day?

Hey Jon. I'm looking at a GSXS1000 moving up from an SV650S (2003) Any tips?

Do you have the link for the front LED?

hello, is it comfortable to ride with a pillion?

Nice honest review, RU-vid needs more of these. Subbed. Test rode this and some of the competitors (Honda CB1000R, Kawasaki Z900) and there was no competition. Then test rode the F version just to be sure and got the red naked. Simply the best, also very controllable. Coming from a 600cc same as you.

hi there..have you ever ride a s1000r? I would like to know how is this bike compare to s1000r...because I like them both..haha..

I love my phantom Gsx s 1000

Hey bro, I want to upgrade from Yamaha FZ8-N to GSX-S1000. what can you say about this? any your opinion will help me ;)

I missed steering dampner on it

🤙🤙🤙

Hey mate, did the PC with retune and remap help resolve or reduce the snatchy throttle issues?

Hi buddy just a question do you have the dynojet auto tune kit on you bike with the PCV kit ? or just the PCV kit ?

Does the m4 sound better than an Akropovich ?

Lovely bike. Have you lost any tractability with the M4 system? I have subscribed.

Odometer?

He sounds just like The Flash (Netflix) O_O

👌

Which is best z1000 or gsx100

What pv5 tune are you running?
