2008 RM-Z250 The RM-Z250 features a compact, lightweight and powerful 250cc 4-stroke engine design, a strong and lightweight aluminum chassis, Showa suspension components and many high-performance features for the ultimate 250cc 4-stroke racing machine. The RM-Z250 engine is based around an over-square bore x stroke design, with liquid-cooling, titanium valves and double overhead billet cams. The engine is housed by a lightweight, twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame combining aluminum forgings, extrusions and stampings welded into a single unit. The whole package is supported by a Showa inverted, twin-chamber, cartridge fork and Showa remote reservoir rear shock. The RM-Z250 features a unique aluminum rear swingarm built using hydro-formed, thick-wall tapered arms welded to a cast linkage bracket and forged axle holders. Other features include Dunlop tires mounted on lightweight aluminum rims with a special spoke/nipple design, plus Renthal aluminum handlebars as standard equipment. Included with this year’s new model are all the benefits of Suzuki’s race contingency, trackside support, Tony D School and Good scholar program. All these added benefits are exclusive to Suzuki riders.

New Features
- Race inspired brake rotors provide better cooling performance and increased mud deflection in muddy conditions.
- Newly designed pegs include increased clearance between the mounting bracket and footrest to prevent mud from caking up.
- Gripper seat has been improved this year by adding projected cross-shaped patterns on the top surface to provide additional grip.

New Engine
- KEIHIN FCR 37 MX Carburetor with bat-wing type air guide plates result in better mid-to-high power output while improving low throttle opening response.
- Exhaust port is narrowed down on the left side for an increase of mid-to-high power output.
- Muffler construction revised improving power output throughout the rev range.
- Clutch judder springs added for a more controllable operation feel.
- Modified piston profile for increased engine reliability.
- Hot starter relocated to the right hand side of the handlebar just like Ricky Carmichael’sChampionship winning RM-Z250.

New Chassis
- Brackets are added to the side frame pipes and tank rails for increased balance rigidity.
- Lower bridge pipes reduced in size resulting in improved shock-absorption feel while maintaining ample strength.
- Showa cartridge-style front fork with 47mm inner tube, plus 22 -way compression damping and 11.8 inches of wheel travel. Sections within the fork were modified to reduce weight and improve shock absorption.
- Showa rear shock absorber with a newly designed damper case and modified internal structure for a better controlled feel and increased bottoming resistance.
- Gold-colored chain and axle blocks give a full factory look.

Engine Features
- Compact 249cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve engine – designed for maximum performance
- Advanced 4-valve cylinder head design with narrow included valve angle and titanium valves, plus new pentroof combustion chamber design for improved combustion efficiency
- SCEM composite-plated aluminum alloy cylinder for increased durability, optimum engine cooling and operating temperature
- Strong, reinforced airbox designed for durability and secure intake seal
- Automatic decompression system for easy kick starting
- Semi-dry-sump lubrication system 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
- AC-CDI ignition system with two ignition maps automatically increases engine idle speed to reduce engine brake effect – ignition timing and rev limiter set for optimum high rpm and over-rev performance

Chassis Features
- Twin spar aluminum alloy frame based on the championship winning RM-Z250 featuring a forged aluminum headpipe and body frame
- Renthal tapered aluminum handlebars with Renthal-labeled handlebar pad for reduced vibration and improved rider feel
- On-the-fly clutch lever adjuster mounted to the clutch lever perch for rider convenience
