2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS
All Adventure.
No Compromises.
Picture the most thrilling way to cross the planet on two wheels.
You would have the power and durability to tackle mountain roads.
And the inspiration to explore roads unknown.
Day after day you would feel light on your feet, comfortable, ready to push ahead.
Your gear would stow easily.
You would know you could rely on the technology.
It is time to get out there.
Introducing the ultimate touring machine for every road.
The V-Strom 1000 ABS.
Features May Include:
The rider can select three modes (1, 2, and off).
Modes 1 and 2 differ in terms of sensitivity.
Mode 1 has lower sensitivity; it allows a certain degree of rear wheel spin.
Mode 2 has higher sensitivity; the system effects traction control sooner.
A redesigned 1037cc, 90-degree V-twin engine is designed to get you where you want to go.
Whether it is around town, on the open highway, or down the road less traveled.
Tokico 4-piston monoblock front brake calipers with 310mm floating-mount dual discs are now equipped with the new V-Strom for a stronger braking performance.
The instruments include an analogue tachometer and a brightness-adjustable LCD speedometer.
LCD readouts include an odometer, dual trip meters, the gear position, the coolant and ambient temperatures, the voltage, the riding range, the average fuel consumption, the instantaneous fuel consumption, the traction control mode, a fuel gauge, and a clock.
Distinctive vertical headlight configuration mirrors the infamous Hayabusa and GSX-R sportbikes
The Adventure Model comes standard with the following accessories: Under Cowl, Hand Guards, Touring Windscreen, Side Cases and Mounting Brackets, and Accessories Bars
Suzuki’s Traction Control System* continuously monitors the front and rear wheel speeds, the throttle position sensor, the crank position sensor, and the gear position sensor.
It quickly reduces engine output when it detects wheel spin.
It controls the engine output by managing the ignition timing and air delivery about every 4 milliseconds.
A redesigned 1037cc, 90-degree V-twin engine is designed to get you where you want to go.
Whether it is around town, on the open highway, or down the road less traveled.
Increased cooling capacity has eliminated the oil cooler and as a net result, weight saving
The exhaust has been completely redesigned with Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) technology which has an ECM-controlled butterfly located in the exhaust pipes that optimizes pressure
The new single-muffler layout provides a lower center of gravity which reduces weight and increases handling and maneuverability.
The piston rings are thinner and have 15% less tensile force for lower friction.
They contribute to higher combustion efficiency and fuel economy.
New pistons were engineered with use of FEM analysis to achieve optimal rigidity and weight.
Although the pistons are larger than the ones they replace, they are the same weight and equally rigid.
A newly designed magneto has low-loss material that heightens power-generating efficiency for lower mechanical losses and accordingly higher output at low and medium-range engine speeds.
The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) works as a slipper clutch on downshifts.
By letting the clutch slip at a certain degree, the rider has reduced fatigue and smoother shifts.
The V-Strom has a 6 speed constant mesh transmission where the 6th gear has been redesigned for a smoother ride.
The V-Strom 1000’s chassis has been redesigned to perform well in all kinds of roads the rider typically encounters during on tours.
