A Stronger Engine, With More Displacement

The 2008 Hayabusa has a more muscular fourcylinder engine, delivering a broader wave of
torque for even more-effortless acceleration.
The basic architecture is unchanged, withliquid-cooling, ram-air downdraft induction,
fuel-injection and hollow double overheadcams operating four valves per cylinder
directly through bucket tappets, with chain
cam drive. The cylinders are plated with
Suzuki’s own race-proven nickel-phosphorussilicon-carbide bore coating, which improves
heat transfer, durability and ring seal and is
known as Suzuki Composite Electrochemical
Material (SCEM). Cylinder bore remains 81mm
but a 2mm increase in stroke to 65mm brings
engine displacement to a full 1340cm3.

But there is more to the new Hayabusa thanan increase in displacement and torque. It is
not only stronger all across the entire rpm
range, but also more fuel efficient, withimproved throttle response and reduced
emissions.

1340cm3 Engine

New forged three-ring aluminum-alloy slipper
pistons are stronger yet 1.4 grams lighter, witha cutaway sides and lighter, 18mm-diameter(down from 20mm) wrist pins. The upper
compression and oil control rings on each piston
are electro-plated with a chrome-nitride coating
applied in a vacuum chamber using a PhysicalVapor Deposition (PVD) system. The chromenitride PVD coating is harder and smoother thanconventional chrome plating, reducing friction
while improving cylinder sealing. The upper
piston ring also has an L-shaped cross section,with combustion pressure pushing the ringtighter against the cylinder wall to further reduce
blowby and increase the force actually pushing
the piston down.

U-shaped cutouts in the side of each cylinder
bore (underneath the bottom of the piston
stroke) are larger than conventional ventilation
holes, allowing air trapped underneath eachdescending piston to more quickly escape toadjacent cylinders, where the pistons arerising. The crankcase breather system, whichvents into the airbox, now features reed valvesto prevent pressure waves in the airbox fromreaching the crankcase. Both changes reduce
internal pumping pressure and mechanicalpower losses.

New titanium valves replace the previous
model’s steel valves, reducing the weight ofeach intake valve by 14.1 grams and reducing
the weight of each exhaust valve by 11.7
grams. The lighter valves allow the use oflighter valve springs and higher lift while
maintaining accurate valve control, increasing
power while reducing mechanical losses. Valvesizes are unchanged, 33mm intake
and 27.5mm exhaust, with 5mm stems. Valve
angle is also unchanged, at 14 degrees fromthe cylinder centerline for both intake andexhaust.

To deal with the extra heat generated along withthe additional power, the 2008 Hayabusa has a new curved
radiator that is more compact in terms of installed widthand height, measuring 380mm across and 222.6mm tall.
The radiator core is also thinner, measuring 22mm thick.
The core is denser, built using a higher number of thinnercooling fins, increasing actual cooling surface area.
The new construction increases the radiator’s cooling
capacity to 29.9 kw instead of 28.1 kw. A second electricallydriven cooling fan is also mounted on the rear of theradiator. Both of the 160mm plastic cooling fans feature an
integrated ring molded to the tips of their individual blades,
eliminating gaps between the housing and the blades andimproving air flow. The two cooling fans are now operated
by the engine management system based on coolant
temperature inside the cylinder water jackets, instead ofbeing controlled by a conventional thermostat, increasing
the control accuracy and keeping engine temperature morestable. The oil cooler also has increased heat dissipation
capacity, 7.52 kw, with 10 rows of cooling fins.

The modified shape of the piston crown works
with the compact combustion chamber toincrease the compression ratio from 11.5:1 to
12.5:1. The chrome-molybdenum steel-alloy
connecting rods are now shot-peened for
additional strength, and the forged crankshaft
has slightly revised crank pin positioning
and new balancing to accommodate the longer
stroke.

Valve lift has increased from 8.8mm to 9.0mm
on the intake side and from 7.5mm to 8.6mm
on the exhaust side. The intake valves open
43 degrees BTDC and close 58 degrees ABDC,
for 281 degrees of duration. Exhaust valves
open 62 degrees BBDC and close 24 degrees
ATDC, for 266 degrees of duration. The cam
chain tensioner is now hydraulically operated,
reducing mechanical noise and automaticallymaintaining cam timing accuracy.

An individual coil built into each spark plug cap
and spark plugs with finer, Iridium-alloy
electrodes produce a hotter spark and more
complete combustion; the Iridium-alloy spark
plugs have double the service life of
conventional spark plugs.

To handle the 2008 Hayabusa’s prodigious torque output,
the width of the gearsets in the six-speed transmission
has been optimized, the 5th and 6th gearsets widened to
18mm and the 1st and 2nd gearsets narrowed to 18mm;
a stream of oil is constantly sprayed onto the 4th, 5th and6th gearsets to reduce wear and mechanical noise during
highway cruising. The final drive sprockets are now 18/43
to reduce chain loading and mechanical noise.
The hydraulically operated back-torque-limiting clutch usesa race-proven ramp-and-cam system to reduce pressure
on the clutch plates under deceleration for smootherdownshifts and to increase pressure on the clutch plates
under acceleration. This clever Suzuki Clutch Assist System(SCAS) effectively increases the spring load on the clutch
plates without using stronger springs, and, along withrevised master cylinder/slave cylinder piston ratios, actually
reduces the amount of hand force needed to pull in
the clutch lever, increasing rider comfort. A new, improved
friction material is applied in a new pattern to the clutch
friction plates, improving rider feel at the clutch
engagement point.

An Advanced Digital Fuel Injection And
Engine Management System
The 2008 Hayabusa features Suzuki’s mostpowerful, most advanced digital fuel injectionand engine management system, controlled by
a 32-bit, 1024 kb ROM microprocessor.
The latest Hayabusa engine is fitted with a pairof tapered, 44mm double-barrel Suzuki Dual
Throttle Valve (SDTV) throttle bodies, one forthe left-side cylinders and one for the rightside cylinders, each cylinder served by its own
barrel and each barrel carrying two fine-spray
injectors. Unlike conventional fuel injection
systems, the SDTV system has two butterfly
valves in each throttle-body barrel, the primary
valve controlled by the rider via the twist grip
and the secondary valve controlled by
the engine management system, which opens
the valve incrementally to maintain optimum
intake charge velocity based on engine rpm,
gear position and primary valve opening.
Maintaining the optimum intake charge
velocity improves cylinder charging, in turnimproving combustion efficiency and low-andmid-range torque and making throttle
response more linear.

The two compact, fine-spray injectors located ineach throttle body barrel each have 12 holes
versus a more conventional 4 holes, improving
fuel atomization, again improving combustion
efficiency with the added benefit of reducing fuelconsumption. The primary injector is aimed ata steep, 30-degree angle down the intake port toimprove atomization and throttle response,and operates under all conditions. The secondary
injector is aimed at the secondary throttle valve
and adds fuel under high-rpm, high-loadconditions. The quantity of fuel delivered tothe engine depends upon the length of timethe injector sprays fuel, or injector on-time;
primary injector on-time is controlled by
the engine management system based on engine
rpm, intake pressure and throttle position.
Secondary injector on-time is determined basedon engine rpm and throttle position.

The engine management system’s Idle Speed
Control (ISC) automatically regulates
the volume of fresh air fed into the throttle
body idle circuits based on coolant
temperature, improving cold starting andstabilizing engine idle under various conditions.

The exhaust system culminates in dual largevolume triangulated and tapered mufflers
designed to enhance power while also
reducing noise. Muffler shape is determined byfunction; each muffler is as narrow as possible
in the front and tapers rearward and upward,
increasing banking angle and cornering
clearance.
Triangulated and tapered mufflers

Selectable Engine Mapping

Suzuki’s Pulsed-AIR (PAIR) system injects fresh
air from the airbox into the exhaust ports
based on engine rpm and throttle position,
igniting unburned hydrocarbons and reducing
carbon monoxide emissions.

SDTV throttle bodies

The newest Hayabusa’s 4-into-2-into-1-into-2
exhaust system features an oxygen sensor usedby the engine management system to increasecombustion efficiency by adjusting the amountof fuel injected into the cylinders. A largevolume catalyzer in the collector further
reduces hydrocarbon, carbon-monoxide andnitrogen oxide emissions, helping the Hayabusa
meet tough Euro 3 and Tier 2 standards.

The Hayabusa features the unique Suzuki Drive
Mode Selector (S-DMS) system, which allows
the rider to use a switch on the right handlebar
control module to select one of three engine
control maps (regulating the fuel injection
and ignition systems). The three maps aredesignated A, B and C.

The engine power delivery varies with map
selection, each map developed using
experience gained building racebike maps forvarious track conditions, and switching fromone map to another is instantaneous.
The system allows the rider to select a
different map to suit personal preferences invarious riding conditions on the road, forexample choosing one map for highway
cruising and another map for tighter roads.

The instrument panel displays which map isselected, with A equaling normal power
delivery. The B setting adjusts torque to makepower delivery more linear, and the C setting
goes even farther in making power delivery
more linear across the entire rpm range.

Advanced Aerodynamics
Produces Unique Styling

The Hayabusa has always been known for its
wind-cheating, wind-tunnel-developed
aerodynamic shape. But the Hayabusa’sslippery bodywork is not a theoretical exercise,but the product of integrated design work
based on the common sense fact thatmotorcycles are made to be ridden.

Which is why wind tunnel testing for the 2008
Hayabusa centered around design refinements
aimed at redesigning wind protection for
the rider-and wind flow over and aroundthe rider-both when in a normal seating
position as well as when completely tucked in.

The fairing is slightly wider overall and thewindscreen is 15mm higher, reducing draginducing exposure of the rider’s knees,
elbows, hands and feet. The shape ofthe upper windscreen edge is improved,
and the joints between the side fairing panels
are smoother, with no exposed fasteners.
The shape and radius of the fairing vents is
also revised, and the top of the fuel tank islower to allow a rider to tuck in more
completely when participating in a racetrackday.

The muscular shape of the integrated front
turn signals has been refined, with each front
turn signal continuing to form the outsideedge of the ram-air-intake scoop on its
respective side of the fairing. Streamlined
bulges on the unique tailsection carry
integrated rear turn signals while evoking a jetengine motif.

The quality finish on ancillary parts such as
the passenger footpeg brackets, muffler
hangers and footpeg/control brackets evokes
the ancient Japanese art of Yoroi-Kabuto,
the traditional creation of finely detailed
traditional Japanese armor. As a symbol ofJapanese art, Yoroi-Kabuto links to
the indigenous falcon that inspired the
Hayabusa’s design and gave it its now-famous
name.

Complete Instrumentation And Distinctive Lighting

The Hayabusa’s instrument cluster featuresa set of four round analog gauges, including
step-motor-driven tachometer andspeedometer, fuel meter and coolant
temperature meter. LEDs are used fora programmable engine-rpm indicator, a lowfuel-level warning light, a neutral indicatorlight, turn-signal indicator lights, a high-beam
indicator light, a high coolant temperature
warning light, a low oil pressure warning lightand a fuel injection system warning light.

A round, centered LCD information panel
includes clock, gear position indicator, S-DMS
map indicator, odometer and dual trip meter
displays. Bright silver metallic trim aroundthe analog gauges and LCD panel evoke
the image of America GT muscle cars.

The engine-rpm indicator can be programmed
to illuminate between 4,000 and 11,500 rpm,
and to blink or stay on continuously.

The instantly recognizable character ofthe Hayabusa’s headlight and taillight havebeen retained, although the details have beenrevised to suit the 2008 models more
aerodynamic bodywork. The vertically stacked
headlight features a projector high beam
and a halogen-bulb multi-reflector low beam.
For 2008, the high beam projector is morecompact and lighter, yet delivers higher
intensity light with a 65w rating.

Vertically stacked headlight

The taillight now uses LEDs as a light source,with a clear inner lense and red outer lens.
LEDs are brighter and more durable thanconventional bulbs.

The single KYB rear shock works througha progressive linkage and also has fully
adjustable spring preload, compression
damping and rebound damping. Shockabsorber piston diameter is 43mm and shock
absorber rod diameter is 14mm. Rear wheel
travel remains 140mm (5.51 inches).

Newly designed three-spoke cast aluminumalloy wheels look sleeker with no increase inweight, and measure 3.50 x 17-inches in
the front and 6.00 x 17-inches in the rear.
Bridgestone radial tires measure 120/70ZR17 in
the front and 190/50ZR17 in the rear.
Front brake discRace-proven four-aluminum-piston, radialmount TOKICO front brake calipers improve
braking efficiency, allowing the dual floating
front brake discs to be downsized from 320mm(12.6 inches) to 310mm (12.2 inches) withan increase in disc thickness form 5.0mm to5.5mm. The smaller-diameter front brake discs
reduce unsprung weight and inertia, enhancing
suspension performance. A single-piston, pinslide TOKICO rear brake caliper works witha larger and thicker rear disc, measuring
260mm (10.24-inch) in diameter and 5.5mm
thick, versus 240mm (9.45-inch) and 5.0mm.

A steering damper is included as standard
equipment.

The Haybusa’s well-proven chassis has beenrefined and improved for 2008, with detailchanges to the twin-spar aluminum-alloy
frame created using a combination of castingsand extrusions. The frame itself is slightly
lighter thanks to the removal of extraneousbrackets. The aluminum-alloy rectangularcross-section swingarm’s torsional rigidity has
been increased by 10 percent thanks toan internal rib running between the verticalsidewalls of the extruded arms.

The rear subframe is now made of rectangularsteel tubing to increase its weight carrying
capacity, and the seat rails are located 17mm
lower to reduce passenger seat height.
The wheelbase remains 1485mm (58.46
inches) with rake and trail of 24.2 degrees
and 98mm (3.86 inches).

Upgraded KYB inverted cartridge forks featurea Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) surface
treatment on the 43mm stanchion tubes toreduce stiction and improve reaction to small
surface irregularities. Spring preload,
compression damping and rebound damping
are fully adjustable, and wheel travel remains
120mm (4.72 inches). The front brake caliper
mounts on the front forks have been revised
to suit the new radial-mount brakes described
below.
