It is then a quick and easy process for the rider to set the S.I.R.S. to their riding style or to their favorite road. These unique setting allow the rider to tune S.I.R.S. The rider can create three user-defined settings (U1, U2, and U3).Factory preset mode C is for comfort and touring.Factory preset mode B is for general, all-around riding.Factory preset mode A is for active, sporty use.Three factory preset modes (A, B, and C) have been carefully created so the SDMS-α can set S.I.R.S.These presets provide the rider a quick and easy way to set the Hayabusa’s performance characteristic to their liking.The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α) system provides the rider a choice of three factory preset and three rider (or user) defined and combined settings of the Power Mode Selector, Motion Track Traction Control*, Anti-lift Control, Engine Brake Control and Bi-directional Quick Shift systems.Control of the Engine Output Characteristics A second animation featuring the Suzuki logo plays before the display is turned off.ġ. This playful presentation is pleasing to the eye and heightens anticipation of the ride to come. An additional feature of the LCD panel is a brief animation of the Hayabusa kanji character that plays when the ignition key is turned on.There is also an LED engine coolant temperature indicator light in the upper right corner of the engine coolant temperature gauge and fuel indicator light in the upper left corner of the fuel meter gauge. LEDs located in the corners above and below the TFT LCD include the neutral indicator light, turn-signal indicator lights, high-beam indicator light, low oil pressure warning light, TC (Traction Control) indicator, MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp), master warning indicator, and ABS indicator.The panel also shows the time, gear position, odometer, dual trip meter, ambient air temperature, instantaneous fuel consumption, riding range, trip time, average fuel consumption, and battery voltage displays.The TFT LCD panel displays either the current SDMS-α systems settings or an Active Data display that shows lean angle (with a peak-hold function), front and rear brake pressure, rate of vehicle acceleration or deceleration, and the current accelerator position.By using two display methodologies, the TFT LCD panel can display a variety of information in formats that are easily recognizable and attractive. Streamlined mirrors have been positioned low and outward to provide an excellent rear view to the rider.Ī key feature of the instrument cluster is the TFT LCD panel centrally mounted between the speedometer and tachometer.The black plastic accent pieces that extend from the sides of the upper cowl near the handlebars deflect air away from the rider’s elbows and knuckles.A Suzuki Genuine Accessory windscreen that is 1.5 inches (38mm) taller is also available. Complementing the slippery styling is an aerodynamic windscreen that is shaped to reduce the wind blast to the rider while permitting a good view of the instrument cluster.The V-shaped chrome-plated moldings in front of the air ducts on the side cowlings create a styling accent flowing from the engine to the mufflers that visually expresses the immense amount of power emanating from the engine, but are also functional parts that draw wind away from the rider’s legs.They form a single clean vertical line that flows back along the cowling and eliminates the bulbous turn signal shape of the previous generation. Flanking the SRAD ducts are LED position lights with integrated turn signals.The Hayabusa’s vertically stacked headlight continues to be a bold styling feature that increases performance as its location between the large Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intake ducts provides high pressure air at speed that boosts engine power.More than a styling exercise, the Hayabusa features one of the best drag coefficients found on any street legal motorcycle, while also achieving excellent CdA and lift values to help maximize top speed potential and stability at top speed.Beyond art, the bodywork was also developed by practical shaping during extensive wind tunnel developmental sessions so the Hayabusa’s advanced aerodynamics offer superb wind protection both for normal and completely tucked-in seating positions.
