In the transition to Euro5 the 999 cc GSX-S has picked up a couple more ponies with a new claimed maximum of 150 horsepower at 11,000 rpm but with claims of much improved mid-range torque, which is something it wasn’t exactly lacking before.

Euro5 has also required the move to ride-by-wire along with the milder new cams, valve springs while the slipper clutch is now of the assisted engagement type for a lighter action at the lever while providing more clamping force under throttle.
