RIDE LIKE THE WIND Liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine with dual overhead camshafts operating four titanium valves is incredibly compact, powerful and lightweight. • Oversquare bore x stroke allows strong and reliable top-end perlormance, while a rev limiter prevents over-rewing. • Extended center ribs in the intake and exhaust port combined with a straight exhaust port help produce outstanding low-end and mid-range response. • Two-piece oil filter cover provides easy maintenance. • Lightweight and durable titanium valves for reliable operation at high-rpm. • Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS), a semi-dry sump lubrication system, allows low crankshaft placement and, consequently, ultra-compact engine size and concentrated vehicle mass. Radiator provides large core area for excellent cooling capacity, helping to ensure consistent performance in long, hot motos. • 37mm Keihin FeR flat·slide carburetor features a throttle position sensor and accelerator pump for quick, dean throttle response. In racing, you judge a bike's performance by its ability to launch you into the winner's circle - which is where you'll find the Suzuki RM-Z250. The reason is simple. The RM-Z250 has an incredibly balanced combination of power and handling. Its wide and strong powerband lets you accelerate hard out of corners and rocket down the straights. Optimum engine braking invites you to charge hard into corners. It's exceptionally easy starting hot or cold. And has a lightweight design for precise handling even on the toughest tracks. And for 2006, its engine and transmission are refined for easier operation and increased long-term durability. The RM-Z250 - it promises race-winning performance, and delivers on the promise.
