2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Racing Finger Follower Valve Train

The new GSX-R1000 Concept’s valve train system is transformed from previous model’s bucket-tappet system to a finger follower rocker arm type to improve valve control and allow higher RPM. The reduced moving mass also allows increased valve lift and higher peak RPM, increasing peak output. Valve response and control is also enhanced throughout the rev range.

91 92 gsxr 750 and 1100 had finger followers.Suzuki went back to the old technology.Except the finger followers are shorter..Very nice

I suspect this is actually about manufacturing cost and not about performance because the race engines still use a shim under bucket tappet...

Looking back at this, the cam on the bucket could be a bit bigger.

How do you adjust lash in this type of follower?

[ravishkasilva]
