Other changes were a steering damper with a reservoir and dual cooling fans with a larger, curved radiator. Because of increased vibration from the longer stroke, the fuel tank was put on floating mounts. All told, the changes for 2008 resulted in a dry weight of , heavier than the prior generation. Other developments Suzuki has dropped the GSX1300R designation in some countries and simply called the motorcycle the Hayabusa. In October 2009, the company celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Hayabusa in Santa Pod raceway where more than 500 owners of Hayabusas converged. Many events were organized and prizes were distributed to people who visited the event. There were no changes through the 2011 model year except for new colors.
