    Clutch hub

    What was the reason that the wave washer ,seat and ring were used on the clutch hub on the 4 valve GS 1100 vs the GS 1000 which didn't have them ?

    Technically it's a Marcelle spring. Supposed to cushion the clutch engagement.

    IMO Suzuki had realised well before the end of GS1000 production that they had a problem with the clutch basket cush system.
    Anything which could soften initial engagement would make the cush last longer.
