DescriptionThe whole story▼
When every tenth of a second counts on track, the K&N SU-1009 replacement air filter gives your Suzuki GSX-R 1000 the unrestricted breathing it deserves. Engineered as a direct swap for the factory air filter with zero airbox modifications required, this drop-in unit unlocks the full potential of the GSX-R's airbox while remaining fully compliant with noise and emissions regulations — making it equally at home on road or circuit.
Key Features
- Optimised airflow and filtration in one unit — more power and acceleration without sacrificing engine protection
- Direct OEM replacement requiring no system modifications, cuts, or rerouting
- Washable and reusable design eliminates repeat filter purchases over the life of the engine
- Service interval of approximately 80,000 km under normal conditions, dramatically reducing maintenance downtime
- Fully compatible with the GSX-R 1000's standard vehicle electronics — no remapping or sensor adjustments needed
- Reduces waste versus disposable paper filters, making it the sustainable performance choice
Performance on Track and Road
The SU-1009 is constructed using K&N's multi-layer cotton gauze media, oiled and pleated to maximise the surface area available to incoming air. The result is a measurable improvement in horsepower and acceleration across the rev range — particularly noticeable at the top end where the GSX-R 1000's inline-four demands maximum charge. Because the filter slots directly into the factory airbox, the OEM intake tract geometry is preserved, keeping fuelling and throttle response consistent with the stock ECU map.
Long-Term Value and Serviceability
Unlike disposable paper elements that need replacing at every service, the K&N SU-1009 is designed to outlast the engine itself. When maintenance is due — typically around every 80,000 km — the filter is simply cleaned with K&N's dedicated cleaning kit, re-oiled, and reinstalled. Over the ownership period of a GSX-R 1000, this translates into significant savings on consumables without any compromise in filtration efficiency or engine protection.
