2008 GSX650F
New Engine
All new, compact, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, DOHC 656cc engine utilizing a bore and stroke of 65.5 mm x 48.7 mm and featuring strong and easily accessible power and torque
 
Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system for smooth acceleration. Fuel injectors are compact and lightweight with 4 hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization and greater power output
 
The cylinder head achieves a narrow valve angle of 17 degrees intake and exhaust for high intake and exhaust efficiency
 
Cam profiles are chosen with an emphasis on low-to-mid range power output and help to deliver highly accessible performance that is well suited to an entry level rider
 
Piston rings are manufactured with ion plating treatment using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for a smoother surface, increased durability and reduced friction and reduced oil consumption
 
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coated cylinders deliver high heat dissipation and allow for smaller piston to cylinder clearances
 
A large capacity exhaust system utilizes a high capacity catalyzer and an oxygen sensor to meet strict Euro 3 and Tier 2 emissions requirements while still providing strong performance throughout the rpm range
 
The GSX650F keeps cool with a high efficiency radiator combined with a 190mm electric cooling fan controlled by the ECM and a high output water pump with a bearing-less design for reduced weight
 
New six speed transmission works smoothly with a hydraulic clutch for crisp shifting in a variety of riding conditions
New Chassis
All new full fairing design with styling cues taken from the high performance GSX-R series for a sport-inspired look with full fairing protection for the rider
 
New double cradle steel frame provides excellent balance, nimble handling a unmatched rider comfort with a sporty overall feel

New rebound and preload adjustable rear shock works in conjunction with a link-type rear suspension for excellent road holding performance
 
New Tokico 4 piston front brake calipers are used with a 310mm brake rotor for optimum braking performance and combined with a lightweight single piston rear caliper and a 240mm rear brake disc
 
Wide, comfortable one piece seat with low seat height for increased rider and passenger comfort
 
New GSX-R inspired instrument cluster includes a step motor driven tachometer, dual trip meters, reserve trip meter, clock, fuel gauge, and a useful gear position indicator
 
Compact fuel tank is designed for an easy reach to the handlebar with a narrow mid section while still retaining a full 5.0 gallons of fuel capacity.
