SUZUKI Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S) Features
  • -

    Control over engine output characteristics

  • -
    The SUZUKI Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α) system provides you with a choice of three factory preset (A, B & C) and three rider-defined mode settings for the Power Mode Selector, Motion Track Traction Control, Anti-lift Control, Engine Brake Control and Bi-directional Quick Shift systems.
  • -
    Factory preset mode A is for active, sporty use, mode B is for general, all-around riding, and mode C is for comfort and touring.
  • -
    You can also create three user-defined settings (U1, U2, and U3). These unique settings allow you to quickly and easily tune S. I.R.S. to match your riding style or favorite road.
  • -
    The Power Mode Selector (PW) permits selection between three different engine output characteristic modes (1,2 & 3) to match the riding conditions or your preferences.
  • -
    Mode 1 provides the sharpest throttle response up to maximum engine power for experienced riders for riding on good road conditions.
  • -
    Mode 2 provides a softer throttle response with a more linear power delivery up to maximum engine power for most riders riding on average road conditions.
  • -
    Mode 3 provides the softest throttle response and a gentler power curve with reduced maximum output for riders with less experience, or for any rider facing poor road conditions (wet or dirty surfaces with limited traction).
  • -

    Control over engine acceleration characteristics

  • -
    Adopted directly from the system developed for SUZUKI’s MotoGP racing machines, the Motion Track Traction Control System (TC) was designed to provide greater stability and help you confidently control the Hayabusa in varying riding conditions by limiting rear wheel spin.
  • -
    The TC system offers 10 mode settings and can also be switched off. The higher the mode number the more the system is sensitive to rear wheel spin and the faster it will intervene to limit spinning.
  • -
    The ECM continually monitors front and rear wheel speed, engine RPM, plus throttle position and gear position, and lean angle data from the IMU. When the system determines that loss of traction is imminent, the ECM adjusts engine power to prevent wheel spin.
  • -
    The Anti-lift Control System (LF) adds control reassurance by helping prevent the front wheel from lifting off the ground when accelerating.
  • -
    The Launch Control System (LC) helps ensure e fficient launch and acceleration from a standing start. Launch Control for the Hayabusa offers three modes (1, 2 & 3) from which you can choose to match your level of experience or confidence.
  • -
    LC Mode 1 limits engine speed on launch to 4,000 RPM for softer acceleration, LC Mode 2 revs to 6,000 RPM for a stronger acceleration, and LC Mode 3 lets the engine rev to 8,000 RPM for the strongest and quickest acceleration
  • -

    Control over engine deceleration characteristics

  • -
    The Engine Brake Control System (EB) offers a selection of three modes (plus an OFF setting) that provide control over the effective strength of engine braking to match your riding preferences. The higher the setting, the smoother and more controllable behavior becomes as the effect of engine braking is diminished to help eliminate rear tire sliding or skipping when decelerating after releasing the throttle grip or downshifting. The system can also be switched off when you wish to experience the full effect of engine braking during deceleration.
  • -

    Control over the engine at steady speeds

  • -
    The Cruise Control System maintains the selected road speed without having to hold the throttle open
  • -
    Cruising speed can be set from approximately 31 km/h to 200 km/ h while riding at 2,000 to 7,000 RPM in second gear or higher.
  • -
    SUZUKI’s Active Speed Limiter is a first in the motorcycle industry, as this highly practical system allows you to set a speed limit you do not wish to exceed, which helps lessen concerns about speeding or driving faster than intended.
  • -

    Control over engine operations

  • -
    The dual mode Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) allows you to shift up or down quickly and easily, without operating the clutch or throttle.
  • -
    QS Mode 1 reacts quickly, like a racing style response, while QS Mode 2 offers a lighter reaction for casual riding.
  • -
    The assist & slipper clutch functions of SCAS help ensure even smoother up and down shifts when using QS or manual clutch operation.
  • -
    The SUZUKI Easy Start System lets you start the motorcycle with a short press of the starter button.
  • -
    The Low RPM Assist System seamlessly increases engine speed when launching from a standing start or riding at low speeds to help ensure smoother power delivery and better control in stop-and-go traffic.
  • -

    Control over braking

  • -
    The Combined Brake System lets you brake more confidently, as operating the front brake lever provides braking power to both the front and rear brakes.
  • -
    Using the brake pedal (with the right foot) operates the rear brake only.
  • -
    The Motion Track Antilock Brake System (MT-ABS)** uses vehicle posture data from the IMU to not only activate in a straight line but also when the vehicle is leaning or turning.
  • -
    By reducing the impact of sudden braking force, the Hayabusa is less likely to try to push itself upright or lose traction, instead maintaining the turning radius and lean angle to better follow your intended line through the corner.
  • -
    Even if you are startled and brake heavily in a corner, MT-ABS assists in helping maintain stability while stopping or slowing the motorcycle.
  • -
    The MT-ABS system cannot be switched off – it is always active.
  • -
    The Slope Dependent Control System prevents rear wheel lift when braking when travelling downhill. The ABS unit continually measures brake pressure while the IMU constantly monitors vehicle posture, even as the Hayabusa is traveling downhill. When you operate the brake lever or pedal when riding downhill, the system adjusts brake pressure to prevent rear wheel lift and provide more stable braking.
  • -
    The Hill Hold Control System helps hold the Hayabusa still when it is stopped on an incline, providing confidence so you can focus on pulling away more smoothly to proceed up the hill. When stopping upward on a hill and applying the brakes, the system automatically operates the rear brake for around 30 seconds to prevent the motorcycle from rolling backward, even if you release the brake lever or pedal.
  • -
    Another first on a SUZUKI motorcycle, the Emergency Stop Signal*** rapidly flashes the front and rear turn signals to alert following vehicles if you brake suddenly at speeds of 55 km/h or higher.
  • -
    ** ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
  • -
    *** Emergency Stop Signal is not available on North American, Indian or Canadian specification units.
