Your Competitive Edge Just Got That Much Better

The 2012 Suzuki RM-Z450 is now available in Australia, and as only can be expected from this championship-winning motorcycle, it is ready to race right out of the crate.

In 2007, the RM-Z450 became the world’s first mass production motocross motorcycle to feature electronic fuel injection, a ground-breaking move which has seen Suzuki lead race fields across the globe.

The 449cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC, 4-valve engine features the latest cylinder head, piston, crankshaft, throttle body, cam shafts and valve springs.

Pioneered by Suzuki in the motocross category, the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) System uses a reversed throttle movement, which directs mist away from the valve to produce more power and enhanced throttle response.

The RM-Z450’s rigid, twin-spar aluminium frame is accompanied by an advanced subframe, linkage and rear swingarm, whilst the race-bred Showa suspension provides sharp handling, improved manoeuvrability and maximum traction.

This potent powerplant also features a five-speed, constant mesh transmission and impressive brakes package to produce a race-winning package.

Built with lessons learned from racetrack domination, Suzuki's ultimate weapon can now be yours.

Features

NEW FEATURES:

  • Meets AMA noise limit (94dB/A) & FIM (115 dB/A) and improve performance:

– Meets 94db AMA & FIM (115 dB/A) race regulation while keeping smooth engine output.

– Compression ration has been increased from 12.2 to 12.5 for higher output. – Intake & Exhaust cam timing has been changed for better engine feeling with lower noise (94db).

– ECU settings have been updated for more linear acceleration and improved over-rev.

  • Easier maintenance:

– Two optional couplers come with the unit to change the carburetion setting (Richer & Leaner)

– Convenient fuel line cap for regular maintenance.

KEY FEATURES:

  • 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.
