Championship winning performance…..ready for you now.

Suzuki races to win, period. And, thanks to the hard work of Ryan Dungey in the U.S., the RM-Z250 is the AMA Supercross Lites West Coast and 250 Motocross Champion for 2009. But winning goes beyond the champagne. For the 2010 RM-Z250, Suzuki applied lessons learned on the track to turn up the speed, handling and confidence you’ll get racing every day, anywhere in the world.

Suzuki racing technology is everywhere you look: advanced Suzuki fuel injection is fitted for the first time on a four-stroke 250 cm3 Suzuki motocross machine. Further engine modifications boost peak power without giving up any of the low-end or midrange that has made the RM-Z250 the choice of top riders everywhere. Chassis updates improve handling with key suspension upgrades making the new RM-Z250 the perfect weapon for motocross racers worldwide. And there’s the eye-catching slim, aggressive styling that causes the RM-Z250 stand out at any track.

Think of the 2010 RM-Z250 as the perfect racing package.

Features

•  Suzuki fuel injection is fitted for the first time on a four-stroke 250cm3 Suzuki motocross machine. Derived from the pacesetting RM-Z450’s superlative system, the RM-Z250’s battery-less injection features a 43mm throttle body with progressive throttle linkage, a 16-bit computer and unique capacitor-assisted starting system. A durable, lightweight magneto-generator powers the fuel injection after starting.

•  Improved radiator louvers direct more cooling air to the twin side-mounted aluminum alloy radiators for lower engine temperatures. They are joined to the outer bodywork for increased strength without adding weight.

•  A new, stronger connecting rod and mirror finishing permits maximum engine output to a stunning 13,500 rpm.

•  A new muffler is fitted to optimize the benefits of the all new fuel injection system.

•  For 2010, the RM-Z250’s number plates have a black background.

•  Connecting the 19-inch rear wheel and the lightweight chassis is a new swingarm with an improved center brace for increased rigidity that also more concentrates its mass for enhanced suspension action and greater traction.

•  The RM-Z250’s twin-spar aluminum alloy frame has been redesigned with several key components to optimize rigidity balance and improve traction at high speed. The lower frame tube has thicker walls, 3.0mm versus 2.5mm, while the side rails are slightly shallower.

•  Revised cam timing works in conjunction with updated intake ports to boost power and torque at the top of the power band.

•  Revised spring and damping rates inside the inverted Showa 47mm fork and piggyback single shock result in improved handling. Modifications to the rear suspension linkage that reduce thrust backlash also improve traction and make for more consistent performance.

Engine Features

•  Advanced 4-valve cylinder head design with narrow included valve angle and titanium valves, plus a pent roof combustion chamber design for improved combustion efficiency

•  Automatic decompression system for easy kick starting

•  Compact 249cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve engine – designed for maximum performance and light weight

•  Convenient hot starter on the right hand side of the handlebar.

•  Lightweight aluminum cylinder with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plating for increased durability, efficient heat transfer and weight reduction

•  Strong, reinforced airbox designed for durability and secure intake seal

•  The Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS) features separate oil chambers for the transmission and crankshaft using the transmission as the oil sump, allowing low crankshaft placement, reduced engine height and a low center of gravity

Chassis Features

•  Foot pegs include optimized clearance between the mounting bracket and footrest to prevent mud from caking up

•  Gripper seat with projected cross-shaped patterns on top surface provides additional grip

•  On-the-fly clutch lever adjuster mounted to the clutch lever perch for rider convenience

•  Race inspired disc rotors provide better cooling performance and increased mud deflection in muddy conditions.

•  Renthal tapered aluminum handlebars with Renthal-labeled handlebar pad for reduced vibration and improved rider feel

•  Showa cartridge-style front fork with 47mm inner tube, plus 22 -way compression damping and 12.2 inches of wheel travel

•  Showa piggyback-reservoir rear shock absorber for excellent controlled feel and increased bottoming resistance

•  Swingarm with lightweight construction for efficient traction, especially over the whoops

Two years ago, Suzuki stunned the world with the first fuel-injected motocross racebike. It was more than unique… it was a winner. Around the globe, the RM-Z450 helped racers collect wins and trophies, fiercly competing in venues from the World MX1 series to America’s AMA Supercross championship.

Now the question: Is there any way to improve on this incredible success? Sure there is. But you have to be Suzuki to do it.

Take a look at the 2010 RM-Z450, a thoroughly updated, cutting-edge open-class motocrosser that’s more potent than ever. Across-the-board engine upgrades boost power from awesome to awe-inspiring. Detatiled frame and suspension modifications improve an already sharp-turning racebike. As a racer, you want quick, laser-accurate steering and confidence-inspiring high-speed handling in one package. And you want a high performance machine whose racing pedigree enables it to be competitive right out of the crate.

Key Features

Features

•  The cam chain tensioner provides enhanced performance

•  The RM-Z450’s electronic fuel injection is improved with a reversed throttle valve movement.The fine fuel-air mist from the 12-hole fuel injector is directed away from the throttle valve for a more uniform mixture producing increased power and enhanced throttle response.

•  The RM-Z450’s twin-spar aluminum alloy frame has received detail improvements to optimize rigidity balance. It starts with the head stock, which is now a two-piece design that’s 9mm taller than before. Further back, the sections at the rear of the frame, which are made up of extruded and cast members, are now wider for increased rigidity. More strength comes from a wider upper frame bridge beneath the saddle, while material wall thickness was strategically designed to save weight.

•  A combination of revised cam profiles and reworked cylinder-head porting give the RM-Z450 amazing idle-to-redline thrust.

•  For 2010, both ends of the bike are given suitably revised spring and damping rates—the new rates work together with the chassis’ optimized rigidity balance to improve handling.

•  A modified throttle linkage makes the low-speed response more progressive.

Engine Features

•  18-pin magneto-rotor senses feedback on crankshaft position, rotation speed and stroke which is fed back to the ECU to calculate optimum injection and ignition timings.
