By improving the RM, Suzuki took everything you thought about racing, power-delivery

and suspension and turned it upside down. Take the RM250. W an engine already bUlging
ith
at the seams with raw muscle, Suzuki still found ways to wring out more horsepower.
Like an improved exhaust valve system, revised porting and timing, reduced crankshaft
inertia and an innovative, Black fluoro-compound surface treated piston that increases
surface hardness and reduces friction. Put all this together and you get unbelievably
efficient delivery of power in the mid-to-high range. Right where you need it. And to help
tame this power, Suzuki worked night and day and came up with the ultimate suspension
solution. It's a new inverted, twin-chamber fork that gives you all the rigidity of an
,
inverted fork, plus the plushness found in the best conventional forks. finally, a fork that
gives you the best of both worlds. The RM also has a new rear shock with more progressive .
. damping for more control in big hits and small.' An·d:.after imprcvinq the ~rak~ng and . .
