Boo Boo Started a new thread Rmz250 oil change concern

3/18/2023 3:01am
Every oil change on my rmz250 there are metal shavings on the metal screen filter. Is this normal? I try to change the oil every 2-3 rides. No clutch issues, gear slipping, or knocking when running

Does any after market exhaust improve the performance of the 2021 rmz250? I think I got the suspension working good and now looking at motor mounts to reduce rigidity!

Use the kawi torque specs, Suzuki’s are real tight. Revalve it. Linkage. Will make it way more comfortable.

Springs were most important in my opinion. I weigh about 175. Do you have many hours on your bike? I only ride a natural terrain turn track, no more jumps for my 66 year old knees so I think it's taking my forks a long time to break in. I also ride a 290 RMZ and a RM250 for comparison. I wouldn't be shy about going way out on compression until it loosens up and you're seeing near full travel.

Grab a torque wrench and the manual and loosen up and re-torque the main chassis bolts (swingarm, linkage, engine mounts, etc.) You can back off the torque on the engine mounts a little bit. That will give you a little more "flex." You can also look into aftermarket engine mounts.

Those clickers sound like they may be in a little far (stiff on the compression side, and slow on the rebound side). I would try something around 12 clicks out on rebound and compression for the fork. And I would try something in the 14 range for rebound/compression (I believe that’s stock). The good news is it’s KYB suspension so it has potential!

I honestly don't have a problem with mine after getting the correct springs on it. I had my steering stem a little on the tight side and I just loosened that slightly while greasing everything. I run Pro Taper bars with stock clamps/bar mounts.

I got a 2021 RMZ250. Installed Race Tech lighter springs front and rear. Sag set at 105mm, and clickers around 8-10 out. For the most part it works good but it is very rigid compared to my 18 CRF 450. Steering was stiff also. Anyone got ideas on how to loosen it up, get more flex, and handlebar shock?
