Which is better Suzuki SV1000 or Suzuki TL1000?
Ok, the engine’s nicked from Suzuki’s old TL1000S but the rest of the SV1000 is all-new yet the price tag is very reasonable new or used. The faired Suzuki SV1000 ‘S’ version has lower bars but is the better all-rounder. The unfaired SV1000 with higher bars is a real funster if less competent on the motorway.
What’s the difference between a Honda Firestorm and Suzuki TL1000?
Both used new tech ideas to make up for the added length that a V-twin configuration gives, but while the Firestorm was a good seller, the TL1000S gained a reputation as a slap-happy widowmaker to earn it a place in motorcycling’s hall of infamy. The VTR is a different proposition to the Suzuki – softer, squidgy and less aggressive.
How manybhp does a Suzuki SV1000 have?
The Suzuki SV1000’s big V-twin produced over 120bhp at the rear wheel when it first appeared in the TL1000S. Unfortunately the bike had handling ‘issues’ and Suzuki tamed it to little over 100bhp.
What kind of gearbox does a Suzuki TL1000 have?
The gearbox is slick, as you’d expect from Suzuki. 1997 ‘P’ reg models offer full power. After that Suzuki turned down the power to try and tame the supposed instability. The build quality is patchy. Some Suzuki TL1000S machines were rusting when new. Paint rubs away, alloy discolours, electrics and the fuel injection can play up.
Is the Suzuki TL1000S a fire breathing monster?
The TL1000S isn’t the fire-breathing crazy monster that reports from the period will have you believe. Initial throttle response is neater and more predictable than a modern Panigale and the exhaust note is ias quiet as any Euro4 bike at low revs. There’s an impressive kick at the top-end and it drives hard.
What’s the no fault code on a TL1000S?
C00 = No fault code and the TPS bar in the centre which is good for 1200RPM. C00 = No fault code and the TPS bar at the top which is good for 1400+RPM. The signal does not reach to ECM for more than 2 sec. after receiving the starter signal.
What does C24 mean on a TL1000S?
