1990
Suzuki year code: L
The 1990 year's GSX-R1100 was upgdraded in the suspension, tires
and the swingarm. The inverted Showa front forks together with
the new 130/60ZR17 Michelin front tire gave the bike better stability
in the front fork and better handling. Even the rear shocker was
new, and the rear tire wider (180/55 ZR 17). The swingarm was
made longer, giving the bike 35 mm (1.4 in) longer wheelbase and
better high-speed stability.
