About this bike
1993 Yamaha GTS1000
Owners manual included
Imported into SA 15 years ago.
Runs beautifully, everything works.
The GTS1000 was a novelty when it came out in 1993, however, beyond the suspension, there were some progressive features like its fuel-injection system.
(Ref. Cycle World Archives)
Powered by a modified version of the FZR1000′s DOHC five-valve per cylinder inline-four, the GTS’ mill received different cams, revised ignition timing, and lower compression in an effort to enhance midrange torque. Claimed output was 100 hp compared to the FZR’s 126. The exhaust system also had a catalytic converter, which was rare at the time.
