What is your definition of "working"?
Would you call basically tied in points for a super cross title working? Idk
Kenny said that at some point they added an estart and the weight distribution changed how the bike handled.
It has to be done as more than just a quick add on.
They better not touch that chassis if Kenny wins this championship. Maybe add an eStart but that's it.
Don't. Fix. What. Ain't. Broke.

When they update the 250 it will be the last new bike i buy
They aren't changing anything anout their bikes. I bet the amount of Zook's at the local track is going to double if Kenny wins though. So there will be 2 of them out there. Not even exaggerating. Might see one Zook at the local practice track
And the BFRC is a more expensive shock than the units on other competitors' bikes. People may not like the BFRC, but it's not because it's "lower grade."
I don’t ride, and I definitely don’t work on dirtbikes. I watch a lot of YouTube videos and read every thread on Vital twice.
I do have a question for you though. Is hard for you to breathe with your head shoved so far up your ass? It just amazes me how much stupid negative shit you post. Maybe its low oxygen levels that making you a complete fucking cuck. Something to think about.
Ya that makes sense too, instant horsepower.
Sorry that upset you. I was being genuine. I’ve never heard anyone say that and it was confusing.
The Suzuki uses the same forks from Showa as the Honda and kawi. The 250 uses the lovely KYB AOS that is essentially the best production fork ever. The 250 also has the best stock shock of all manufacturers with some additional adjustment.
As far as negativity, I’m a pretty positive guy. It’s a feminine trait to perceive non-agreeableness as negativity or aggression. Now we both have something to think about. lets get you a dirtbike too.
Kyle, not only is dude a negative dick head saying that agreeableness is a feminine trait (???) he’s also a church pastor lol of course he is
Anyways back to the topic. R&D ruined the perfect Ktm chassis just a few years ago and I’m still bummed about it haha
Kenny does not ride a stock bike, lots of stuff in his bike you will not find in the showroom (obviously)
It's winning, why mess with it? Be a man, learn how to kick. Pussy generation.
Kove, SSR, Trailmaster, Kayo, any number of Chinese dirt bikes is what is being described, that we shit on constantly and never ending. Seems like that is what we want Suzuki to make. It seems like such a first world problem, we all want to participate in a sport that is extravagant by nature but want the manufacturers to make cheap products for that sport.
Huge kudos to Ken, Larry, Dustin, Twisted, a dozen or so suspension shops, and others for taking those free bikes and the relatively small check they get from Suzuki and competing for a championship.
As for Suzuki, I could be wrong but I think their goal as a company is to make money and you do that by selling products. In that regard, what they are doing is not "working". They sell like 15 dirt bikes a year, maybe 30 if Ken wins the championship.
If you owned a company and your product wasn't selling what would you do? I doubt you would just blame the media and impressionable consumers and stay the course.
2027 will have quite a few new designs from all brands so it would be a good idea for Suzuki to get an update.
The part that is broken is the sales figures.
The fix for broken sales figures is technological and aesthetic updates.
currently yes I would. However, it took what 5 years for this to happen? There aren't any other riders on Big S having the success on this bike Ken is currently having and I'm thinking it may have more to do with him in a unique situation years in the making where all the pieces came together for a special season. I could be wrong.
Pit Row
while I do not disagree with your sentiments about the younger generation, Kenny would have likely finished in at least 3rd in the championship last year (vs. 5th), and would be leading the championship this year if he didn't have to kick-start his bike and pray when it is hot.
On an amateur level, I say kick away, but when SX and MX titles are on the line, those seconds (or in some cases minutes) kicking the bike are a lot more costly and brutal to watch.
Globally, In 2025, their line up combined sold 2.2 million “units”.
How many were dirt bikes, not sure, but I’d bet a few bucks it was more than 15.
once ⬆️ a time….they cared about racing and high performance….
Continue to dominate the small vehicle market in India and manufacture outboard engines.
I thought it's conventional wisdom Suzuki is barely selling enough RMZs to meet the homologation numbers? I don't think a manufacturer, distributor, or dealers would give the discounts you can get on a RMZ if they were easy to sell. Why would you buy a new one if it's the same as a 5 year old one?
Kei trucks are sick. I want one so bad.
Why do theise stubborn Zook idiots still mount that shit shock to the 450’s?!
Drop it, mount a regular 250 shock (and fork/fork clamps?), a bit better pipe and vets/recreation riders would love it…and obviously some pro riders… #94?
I feel like it just comes down to perception..the “masses” or general consumer, do they need an updated motocross bike EVERY YEAR, probably not. Are their ridding skills going to magically increase on that new bike? No..
Now, look at Toyota, they don’t “update” their cars for 7 years generally, and are talking about moving to a 9-10 year span before updating models/facelifts/etc, etc.
Seems to work for them….possibly not the best comparison, but it what’s came to mind.
Loll.... I don't think you are capable of understanding
The difference is a car is a neccessity, basic transportation. A motocross bike is a high end luxury item, you can live your life fine without one, and if you do get one you don't want one that is exactly like one that is 5 years old, for many people anyway.
Personally I hope Suzuki doesn't change the basic frame and plastic much at all. It's one of the best, classic looking dirt bikes on the market.
Updated suspension and tweaks to engine for e-start and reliability but beyond that.. let the workhorse be the workhorse.
If Suzuki releases a new bike, it won't be because Kenny won on this model. (However, you can be darn sure the marketing department will capitalize on Roczen's success to sell more yellow bikes.) The design, testing, and production timelines are just too long to plan a model release around seasonal championships. It's not hyperbole when I say it takes 2-3 years to make a new motorcycle.
Let's not ignore the possibility that Ken might not even WANT a new bike. This one's doing just fine!
