Tech Talk: Suzuki GSX-R1000 Stock to Brock: "Hey Brock...What About MY Bike?"

“Hey Brock, love your 2017 GSX-R1000 ‘Gixzilla’ series, but how about doing the same thing to *MY* bike?”

If I had a nickel for every time…

Of course, all machines are “different” in their own way, and these differences are special to us as owners. However, mechanically, every bike we feature starts with a simple concept from German engineer Nikolaus Otto and his patent of the first internal combustion four-stroke engine. We know it as an Otto Cycle – Google it, and you will find mounds of information on the First Law of Thermodynamics and other associated engineering speak (ewww.)

Well, you know how we do it around here; in its purest form we are talking about the 4 cycles of an internal combustion engine: SUCK-SQUEEZE-BANG-BLOW! (intake-compression-power-exhaust,) and if your bike uses gasoline for power (without the need to add oil to the gas,) your engine experiences these 4 cycles, very quickly, the entire time it’s running.

THIS MEANS YOU all of you every pump gas fueled four-stroke engine from your lawnmower to your #stupidfast two-wheeled pride and joy.

Now that we have established that we are all basically the same (barring particular vehicle idiosyncrasies, of course,) please use our past Brock’s Performance video history to search the fine details. We always include a video timeline in the long description for those who prefer a quicker search. This video is designed to help you understand the basics, as well as the end result which is a much faster bike and a very happy owner.

You will only need about a ¼ tub of popcorn for this one – please enjoy: Tech Talk: Suzuki GSX-R1000 Stock to Brock: "Hey Brock...What About MY Bike?"
