2024 GSX8 Full Akrapovic & NEW Intake Testing & Tuning! 

I can't wait to see what you can do with the 750 Hornet engine. Honda really needs a CBR750R

The torque gain is a little surprising. Great to see it. Looking forward to seeing those velocity stacks and were this bike will go with just bolt-ons.

After watching some videos between 2wdw and a competitor I have to say this bike has caught my eye. Have seen some fully race built at the track and they are absolutely a menace with ~90hp. I have been a yamaha MT09 simp for sometime now (have a 23 MT09sp) and really miss that 270 crank twin I had with an MT07. I like what I'm seeing with this Suzuki

Your comments on the Aprilia do not tell the entire story. Aprilia had a recall in 2021 on 600 units that had rods that were not properly hardened. Once the issue was addressed with replacement oem rods, we never had another rod failure in 2021. Also, Moto America in their infinite wisdom restricted the RS660 to stock rods as a balancing measure so going to an aftermarket rod was not an option. In 2022, Yamaha introduced factory support and the R7 development took a huge jump with power levels increasing to approx 100hp. So, while all the Yamahas and Suzukis were running Carrillo rods, the RS660s had to run stock rods while still adding significant horsepower over stock. For 2023, Moto America removed the stock rod restriction on the RS660 and with aftermarket rods, we never had a component issue after that. I look forward to seeing the GSX8R on the twins cup grid in 2024. We'll see how far Moto America restricts the bike with the mandated Mektronik ECU. With a 117cc displacement advantage over the RS660 and a 78cc advantage over the R7, they will have to do something to get the torque down to somewhere in the low to middle 50s, or hit it with additional weight.

Great work & impressive numbers. You’re absolutely right, it’s a great bike. You’re just making it better 👌

Really interesting. Makes the gsx8 platform much more interesting

I bought the GSX 8R a couple weeks ago, and my full Akrapovic exhaust system just arrived today. I have a power commander 6 for the 8S/8R on the way, but curious now about the flashing you mentioned in the video. Would definitely like to know more!

Suzuki 🔥

My butt dyno was spot on with mine. Similar mod path but built my exhaust before any were on the market. Interested in the velocity stack testing and am curious if it'll help with the torque dip

I just love this Guy's Videos Straight to the point NO BS.. I had an sv 650 gladius and a ninja 650 both just lacked the power-So I bought a Gsx s1000f and IT has to much Power.. The honda cbr650r seemed to be the ticket for me but now I hear They are not brining them into America?? WTF HONDA ? so The gsx8r may be the Bike for me. Aprilla Get real Or the Ducatti SS thats for Millionares that blow bikes up at 10k miles..

Great video but you compared this bike with the MT07 and not with the honda CB750 hornet that is more powerfull and cheaper??? Let's not even talk about the new CF MOTO 800NK Advanced... I think you should do the same with the Honda soon to test !

That's making me consider a GSX-8R if I ever find one second hand as a semi-comfortable reliable sportbike unless we get actual confirmation of a R9 from Yamaha 😤. I like the torquey motors for street duty and occasional trackday in the future.

One metric - SOUND

do you need to tune the bike after changing airbox filter and lid ?

Looks like the perfect shift point is 8750 why go higher? Then it’s all about the right gearing.

Can you share your tuning for this! I would love to download your map for my setup on my power commander 6!

Do you know if this full Akra will fit to VSTROM 800DE without issue? Looking at every photo and my bike.. it seems the 'resonator' will clear the bars holding the "skid plate" bellypan and be all good.. but... can't be too sure. I certainly don't want a monstrosity of an exhaust like they have designated for the VSTROM.

Very nice!

If you put a kit together I'll buy it

Nice tail, does it soak you when riding on rain?

When you said flash you don’t mean piggy back right? You mean flash de OEM ECU to remove restrictions? After a flash you can use a piggy back to continue with tune adjustments?

Is the thottle mapped to fully open at high rpm ?

What about the Honda Hornet 750 that is the direct competitor to the GS X8S.

How much does the tester weigh?

I just wish the gsx8r looked nice, its just too ugly. It would be my next bike if it didn't look like diarrhea. I prob just get the zx4rr cause it looks good, sounds good, and a special bike.

Very one sided comments, obviously very pro gsx8 so obviously getting paid... Shame, lost credibility

First

Another neutered soy boy bike.
