Once in a while you will have the fortune, or misfortune, depending on how you look at it to travel down a gravel road with your motorcycle.
Gravel and street motorcycles are not that compatible but with a little common sense they can be navigated with ease.
Sometimes the only access to your destination is by gravel roads and you will not want to bypass it just because of a little gravel.
The best way to stay upright on a gravel road is to slow down take an ultra light grasp of the bars and let the front end of the motorcycle do its thing.
The loose stones on the road will jerk the front tire around and the worst thing you want to do is jerk back or try to man handle the steering. Usually you can follow in the tire tracks of the cars where the loose stones have been pushed to the side and all that is left is the packed base. It is when the tire tracks cross where you will ride over loose stones and your front tire will skip from side to side and this is where the loose hands on the steering comes in, let the front tire jump around a bit and it will correct itself.
Gravel road graders usually grade the road by bring the gravel, kicked off to the side, back to the middle of the road to form a crown. So riding close to the ditch will keep you out of the really loose stuff and some times all that is left on the sides is hard pack.
At any rate if you are out riding around with no destination try a little patch of gravel riding to practise just in case you find out that you have to challenge a gravel road some day.

New 2009 Suzuki GSX-R 1000
The basic architecture of the engine 999cc GSX-R1000 cooled by a compact liquid is well-known, a model design of ofrace-profit: Annoy and race of 73.4mm X on 59.0mm, pistons out of alloy of aluminium forged with shortskirts and sides of cut far, of rods granulated by steel of chromium-moly, duelles air cams of cavity, and light titanic valves.
Also a new cold of systemimproves of the ordering of speed no-load (ISC) starting and stabilizes the idle of engine under various conditions and a greater ventilation holesbetween of the cylinders reduced to pump losses.Suzuki has advanced the equal pipes of head length of devices of the exhaust (SAES) supplying a collector, a shortmid-pipe and a single room of lower part of engine that carries out to the mufflerson aluminium and of titanium of two shorts each side.Add to that a transmission six-speed of close-report/ratio with axes of staggeredtransmission, one in adjustable back-couple limiting the clutch and a secondary balancershaft ordered by gears for the reduced vibration.
New more compact Suzuki the system than duel of fuel injection of control valve of power takes place in place for 2007 with 12 smallerholes instead of four for the atomization improved of fuel and because the injectors are a more compact lighter vapor and of emita, the secondary injectors can be placed at a stiffer angle of 30 degrees aimed directly of the ports of theintake for the answer improved of power control.
Wearing of catch and exhaust are reorganized and the exhaust valves of largerand of eight percent are 2mm larger (26mm against 24mm) to work with more aggressive camshafts and catches of Iridiumspark are used for optimum combustion and more the long life. This system doubles almost the internal volume of exhaust while lowering the centre of gravity, centralizes the mass and aerodynamics of improvement.
