Barnett Tool & Engineering

Barnett high-performance GSX800 clutch kit


Founded in 1948, Ventura, California based Barnett Tool & Engineering first started making clutch plates in the late 1950s and is a longtime leader in premium motorcycle clutches and cables.



This all-new Barnett Clutch Kit for the Suzuki GSX800has been "engineered for riders who demand smoother engagement, improved durability, and consistent power delivery - this kit elevates the performance of Suzuki's modern middleweight platform."

Designed as a direct OEM replacement, the kit utilises advanced friction materials and high-strength components to withstand "aggressive street riding, spirited mountain runs, and track-day demands."

Barnett's Kevlar Friction Plates offer cooler operation, stronger bite, and longer service life. The tempered Steel Drive Plates are built for warp resistance and precise tolerances with heavy-duty clutch springs increasing pressure for improved power transfer while maintaining a responsive lever feel.

A direct fitment, they are a fully reversible, modification-free install using the factory components.

Engineered, tested, and built in the USA. "Our team developed this GSX800 kit to give riders a noticeable upgrade in clutch feel, longevity, and overall performance," said Chris Taylor, Marketing Director. "Suzuki's GSX platform continues to evolve, and this clutch kit is designed to keep up with riders pushing their machines harder than ever."
