M will be offering nine SX
motocrossers to chose from in
'06, including the 250 SX-F,
which was released in limited
umbers earlier this year as an
'05 model. For all intents and purposes, the
'06 is the same as the 'OS, but it did get
some minor refinements.
like the 250 SX-F, all of the '06 SXs will
feature a new look with black frames and
rims. And all of the SXS get a new cast aluminum swingarm, a revamped fork and
shock, and a new rear master cylinder. The
250 SX (two-stroke) also receives a steeper steering angle, and all of the fourstrokes get reinforcing at the steering
head.
And with every purchase, you get a
competition kit that includes plastics, stickers and spare parts.
The bike should start appearing in the
showrooms very soon, if not already.
250 SX
The 250 SX two-stroke features major updates to the
power-valve and cylinder. It also has a lighter piston, a
smaller PWK 36 AG carburetor, a longer secand-gear ratio
(smaller step ta third gear) and a new COl ignition.

It should be a lot easier ta get your
hands on the 250 SX-F now that it's
finally in full production.
Most of the
engine changes to
the 450 and 525
SX were made
with durability in
mind. They bath
get stronger
crankshafts and
new valve guides
made of sintered
steel. The bikes
are, however,
fitted with new
FCR-MX41
carburetors for
improved throttle
response.
525 SX
125 SX
Motorwise, the 125 SX took many changes. It has a
new cylinder, a new V-Force 3 reed-valve body, a new
COl ignition, a lighter and stronger clutch, a new
crankcase bearing seat, a new bearing for the countershaft and a new exhaust pipe. But perhaps mast
notable is the addition of a sixth gear in the tranny.
85 SX
The 85 SX got a lot of changes for '06.
Just about every part has been modified,
including the frame, suspension and
transmission.
