| The RM-Z250 meets stricter AMA noise limit (94db) while keeping smooth engine output. | |
| New graphics complete the 2012 package. In addition, the number plates have a black background to conform to rules for competition numbers. | |
| ENGINE FEATURES | |
| The RM-Z is powered by a compact and lightweight 249cc, fuel-injected, DOHC, titanium four-valve, semi-dry-sump, four-stroke engine. Its advanced, battery-less fuel-injection (FI) system, features a 44mm throttle body with progressive throttle linkage and a 16-bit computer. | |
| The engine's aluminum cylinder is treated with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating. The cylinder is built for durability, is light weight and the coating allows for efficient heat transfer. | |
| The FI system uses a unique capacitor-assisted starting system, and is powered by a durable, lightweight magneto-generator after starting. | |
| A sturdy connecting rod and mirror finishing permits a stunning 13,500-rpm maximum engine speed. | |
| TRANSMISSION FEATURES | |
| A 5-speed transmission provides extra flexibility, offering gear ratios suited for various terrains and conditions. | |
| CHASSIS FEATURES | |
| Race-inspired brake disc rotors offer enhanced cooling performance and efficient mud slinging. | |
| Smart chassis design details include footpeg brackets shaped to help prevent mud from clogging. | |
| The RM-Z250 features a twin-spar aluminum frame and aluminum swingarm developed and refined for a highly optimized balance between rigidity and superb high-speed traction. | |
| A gripper seat, with projected cross-shaped patterns on the top surface, provide additional grip. | |
| High-quality Renthal handlebars featuring a tapered design are fixed to the rubber mounted triple clamp. | |
| Radiator louvers (for the twin side-mounted aluminum-alloy radiators) are joined to the outer bodywork to add strength without adding weight. | |
| Inverted twin chamber Showa 47mm forks and Showa piggyback shock designed with emphasis on smooth shock absorption and ample bottoming resistance. Tuned to offer superb handling for a wide range of riders, the suspension delivers excellent traction without sacrificing quick-turning ability. | |
