The yellow is nice, but the side panels and numberplate also need to be yellow.
Just got a cycra stadium front for mine, in yellow. Bike complete😍
Stiff forks. Good bottom end power. Reliable. Turns good. Same bike since 2019, so plenty of parts from what I’ve been told. I’m interested in one for the right price.
SICK, love em.

Would still look better with yellow side panels and numberplate 🙂
I would still take one. Have you done many mods to it, or fairly stock?
No mods, motor is fine for a slow relic like me, pulls great. But I do need to respring the shock and forks cuz Im skinny AF.
I want a pipe for my 450 so bad but gosh they’re expensive. The stock one looks so bad though😂
Let brother know what springs you require.
Trends are cyclical eventually 4 different colors of plastic will be back in style
OH YEAH!!!!! 😎😎😁😁
Love my ‘18 450, I’m sure the 250 is even more fun. Haven’t had a chance to ride my bike much(family health issues), but I got a chance to ride it yesterday.
Cool thing with 8 mos. off the bike is the bike was already ready to go with some of the mods I’ve made over the years. Like an old shoe, I was comfortable right away.
Love this platform Suzuki has put together. A perfect bike for either Novice or Pro. Dial-in the suspension and you’re set! 👌
Bike’s washed and ready to go…and it won’t be 8 mos. next time. 🙂
Ready for tomorrow 2/15, oil / filter changed, wheels swapped 👌
Have a good weekend gentlemen.
Did you do just the KYB shock swap off of the 250 and revalve the stock forks? What linkage system are you using?
Yes, it was a direct bolt-on. I bought the KYB ‘19-present RMZ-250 shock from a dealer in Tulare. I’ll have to check, but I believe I paid $550 for the shock. Then I bought a 5.7 Factory Connection spring.
Running a RideEng. link, just like the way it balances the chassis.
Up front, had my local suspension tuner (Roth) put .52 springs up front and re-valved the fork.
Overall, chassis is solid. Good hold up into braking bumps, it turns, jumps, and lands great. Rear feels solid too with some clicker adjustments, although I might send it out for a re-valve too eventually. Regardless, night and day better (stock for stock) than the BFRC that comes with the 450. Hope this helps.
Good reliable motor, can get more power out them, HP performance did a video on YouTube his motor package outperformed a gytr kit yz250f.
Just revalve resprung the suspension for yourself

I have a 23 for sale.
Unfortunately I'm not looking to buy right now
I'm really happy with mine now but it took a lot of work. On a smooth short track with big jumps it's probably not that bad but for my use it took a lot in my opinion. I'm a near 69 175 lb. former moto vet expert that only rides a tight natural terrain no-jump seventies style MX track. To pep up the motor I had the airbox cut, Twin Air pro flo, Twisted Vortex and a RS-12 system. Because track is short the fact that it runs out of steam by 12K is not a big deal. The final fix to the suspension was fork springs down three steps, shock spring down at least two steps, forks radically revalved to what looks like a cross country bike valve stack, Ride link which allowed me to run the shock high speed compression all the way out and the low speed a little soft for more high speed range. The final change that really improved corner entry through the decel and braking bumps was a Hinson BTL clutch. The slipper clutch un-bound the chassis action through the bumps approaching corners. Complete different bike now. I've only ridden Suzukis since 88 and still also ride a RMZ290 and an 07 TMR RM295 so I am familiar with the feel I like.
Ever since Suzukis have been yellow, that blue looks so good on them - it's just timeless. 👍
👍
Here is the RMZ250 suspension setting list if anyone needs it.
Hi I'm Joe I'm a new user here.
I was just checking this bike out a day or so ago, and I am craving the offroad horsepower too. I've actually never ridden a dirt bike before.
Welcome to vital Joe!
My 19’ 250 was definitely one of my favorite bikes ever. Did everything right. They ever put the magic button on that thing I’ll get another one. Sorry, I’m old and lazy these days haha
