Suzuki's 2011 RM-Z250 motocrosser has been unveiled, ready to
lead the pack and featuring exciting updates.
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.
The all-new, fuel injected Suzuki RM-Z250 had a perfect racing
debut in 2009 with young Australian Matt Moss riding it to victory
in the 2009 Super X Pro Lites Championship and achieving a perfect
points result, with five wins out of the five rounds competed.
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 249cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid cooled DOHC
engine is engineered to perform, delivering impressive high-end
performance throughout a wide powerband, without compromising
low-to-mid range power and torque.
Overall operation and feel of the RM-Z250 has been enhanced for
2011, with updated ECU settings for increased linear acceleration
and improved over-rev and revised intake and exhaust timings for
lower noise output.
The 2011 RM-Z250 meets stricter Motorcycling Australia's 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 superior cornering and tighter line
selection.
The RM-Z250 features updated wiring harness routing and a
convenient fuel line cap, making regular maintenance a breeze.
The 2011 RM-Z250 will feature stunning new graphics accompanying
the Champion Yellow / Black colour scheme.
Race ready, out of the crate, Suzuki's 2011 RM-Z250 will be
available in Australia from early August for an RP of $10,690\*.
Motocross and supercross racers of the Suzuki RM-Z250 will
continue to be eligible to register for Suzuki's Support Rider
program, offering generous contingency payments on selected
national and state race series.
