This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip for smoother downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch, increasing plate pressure under acceleration, but always keeps the clutch lever pull light and precise.CHASSISDesigned around the new, compact parallel twin engine and constructed with rugged steel pipe, the GSX-8S’s backbone style frame was developed to provide excellent straight-line stability, to contribute to nimble handling, and to perform well in the city, on twisty roads, and at highway speeds.STYLINGThe GSX-8S fulfills the goal of creating a thoroughly modern design that sets a trend for an exciting new generation of Suzuki motorcycles ready to carry the brand into the future.
