2011 Suzuki RM-Z250

The 2011 Suzuki RM-Z250 packs a punch with a powerful 249cc, four-stroke engine, lightweight aluminium chassis, Showa suspension and Suzuki's latest off-road competition technology.

Following in the footsteps of its big brother - the championship winning RM-Z450 - the Suzuki RM-Z250 was the first quarter-litre production motocross machine to feature Suzuki's innovative fuel-injection technology.

Suzuki's original Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system incorporates a 43mm throttle body with progressive throttle linkage and a battery-less fuel pump, giving the RM-Z250 outstanding performance.

The 2011 RM-Z250 meets Motorcycling Australia's more strict noise limits of 94db, while maintaining smooth engine output.
An updated transmission improves durability, with the clutch featuring improved lubrication on the centre and counter shaft for enhanced feel and response.

The RM-Z250's radiator hose routing has been changed for more efficient cooling and the kick starting arm has been revised for improved starts.
Developed in competition, a high-strength, twin-spar aluminium alloy frame gives riders agile handling, with the chassis and suspension system offering excellent cornering and tighter line selection.

The RM-Z250 features updated wiring harness routing and a convenient fuel line cap, for ease of maintenance. The 2011 RM-Z450 is also now available for a RRP of $11,590 + ORCs.
