Easier maintenance: – Two optional couplers come with the unit to change the carburetion setting (Richer & Leaner) – Convenient fuel line cap for regular maintenance. Suzuki's class-leading fuel-injection system uses technology derived from Suzuki's championship-winning models. The RM-Z450, the first motocross bike to ever use fuel injection, has won both outdoor championships as well as a Supercross championship. 449cm3 4-stroke liquid cooled DOHC engine featuring the first fuel injection on a production motocross bike. The fuel-injection system uses technology from Suzuki’s championship-winning models – the GSX-R supersport bikes and the QuadRacer R450 ATV. The innovative lightweight battery-less electronic fuel injection system brings about better “roll-on” power and responsive low-to-mid range. KEIHIN throttle body built specifically for the motocross environment. Progressive throttle linkage improves controllability and efficiently puts the power at low throttle. 18-pin magneto senses feedback on crankshaft position, rotation speed and stroke for the ECU to calculate optimum injection and ignition timings. Single-phase all-charging system, with the magneto supplying all the necessary electric power. Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS) with separate crankshaft and transmission compartments allows a highly compact, short and low-slung engine. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder coating improves heat transfer, durability and weight reduction. 5-speed transmission provides extra flexibility for various terrains and conditions. Link-type shifting system offers smooth transitions through the gears. Hot starter position on the right handlebar, helping allow rider’s left hand to focus on clutch operation. Slim chassis design while opening up the cockpit for additional room to allow the rider to actively take control of the machine. Lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame incorporates racing feedback to deliver corner-railing, whoops-blazing performance and agile handling on various terrains. Lightweight rear swingarm to reduce weight and enhances terrain-traversing performance over bumps. Inverted twin-chamber SHOWA front forks and piggyback-reservoir SHOWA rear shock absorber, both designed focused on lightweight and better shock absorption. Race-inspired disc rotors offer better cooling performance and more efficient mud slinging. Factory aluminum fuel tank. Better fuel efficiency offered by fuel injection allowed a reduced, 6.2-litre tank capacity. Foot pegs include increased clearance between the mounting bracket and footrest to prevent mud from caking up. Stylish front number plate, front and rear fenders, radiator shrouds and louvers improving cooling airflow. Gripper seat, with projected cross-shaped patterns on top surface to provide additional grip. Factory gold-colored chain adds the finishing touches to the RM-Z450. 2012 Suzuki RM-Z450 Features and Benefits Engine Features The RM-Z450's 449cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve, fuel-injected engine was developed and refined to deliver phenomenal idle-to-redline thrust. The lightweight, battery-less, motocross-use electronic fuel injection system uses progressive throttle linkage for efficient power delivery. A 12-hole fuel injector delivers a fine fuel/air mist for efficient operation. The RM-Z450's aluminum cylinder is treated with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating, and was built for durability, light weight and efficient heat transfer. Transmission Features A 5-speed transmission provides extra flexibility, offering gear ratios suited for various terrains and conditions. The RM-Z450 has a link-type shifting system, which offers smooth transitions through the gears. Chassis Features The RM-Z450's slim chassis design makes for a comfortable riding position, opening up the cockpit to help allow the rider to actively take control of the machine. Class-leading 47mm Showa inverted forks provide optimum wheel travel and are compression- and rebound-damping adjustable. A Showa piggyback-reservoir rear shock with high/low-speed compression damping adjustment and rebound damping and spring preload adjustments. The rear shock, working through Suzuki's superlative rising-rate linkage system, provides 310mm of wheel travel, delivering maximum traction. The RM-Z450's twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm was developed and refined for a highly optimized balance between rigidity and superb high-speed traction. The lightweight swingarm helps enhance terrain-traversing performance over bumps. Race-inspired disc rotors offer enhanced cooling performance and efficient mud slinging. A stylish two-tone radiator shrouds accentuate the RM-Z450's agile looks. The RM-Z450 comes with a gripper seat, with projected cross-shaped patterns on the top surface to provide additional grip. 2012 Suzuki RM-Z450 Chassis Overall Length 2190 mm (86.2 in) Overall Width 830 mm (32.7 in) Overall Height 1270 mm (50.0 in) Wheelbase 1495 mm (58.9 in) Ground Clearance 325 mm (12.8 in) Seat Height 955 mm (37.6 in) Curb Weight 113 kg (249 lbs) Transmission 5-speed constant mesh Final Drive Chain, DID520MXV4, 114 links Suspension Front Telescopic inverted, coil spring, oil damped Suspension Rear Swingarm, link type, coil spring, oil damped Brakes Front Disc brake Brakes Rear Disc brake Tires Front 80/100-21 51M, tube type Tires Rear 110/90-19 62M, tube type Fuel Tank Capacity 6.2 L (1.6/1.4 US/Imp gallons) Color Champion Yellow Engine Engine 449cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, single cylinder, DOHC Bore Stroke 96.0mm (3.780 in) x 62.1mm (2.445 in) Compression Ratio 12.5:1 Fuel System New 12-hole fuel injector increases fuel atomization for better power delivery Starter Primary kick Lubrication Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS) Ignition Electronic ignition (CDI)
