@fatdrood The bike shop de-restricted it when i bought it and when its de-restricted a power bomb, or cherry bomb is needed as the bike is fuel injected and needs to be tuned for the better breathing, etc. I would think almost all bike shops will do this for you when buying one. The restrictions from factory are rediculous. You have like 1/5th throttle travel, a plugged exhuast, restricted air box. The power bomb or cherry bomb is a must as you will be taking the all the restrictors off.

i put a pro circuit t4 slip on silencer on mine just recently and the extra power is incredible the only thing was on the box it said it was for the rm-z and it was 1mm to small to go on and need to get sent away to get it flared out that little bit to go on if you want to spend the money i say do it because it's worth it

Bought one today. Pick it up in a week. Cant wait! I gotta say im a little intimidated by the power, it goes hard as fuck. Ive riden quite a few 400/450s and i gotta say this thing feels to be the most powerfull ive riden. For those who havent riden one and want to know how it goes, it feels like it has more bite than a Yamaha WR450,and KTM450EXC. I havent riden every 2011 model 450 enduro out there, but those i have. The RMX also wins on value for money. Good price.

@TRITTYcat As for valves, rebuilding etc. Check thumper talk, it seems to be very durable with basic maintenance. People have reported perfect clearance after many hours or Kms. The bike shop also told me this. Keep your air filter clean which is no problem and do your oil changes, it should go strong for a long time. I bought two extra air filters which i keep oiled in sealed bags and take one or two away with me when riding so a quik change is quik and easy. Its a quality bike, very powerful

@TRITTYcat From what i have read and my little experience the maintenance is pretty straight forward. Oil, air filter, and chain. Clean your bike after rides to look for anything loose. Oil is one compartment, not like a CRF so quik and easy to change. Doesnt filth its oil too much. But, i dumped my oil after first tank, it was dirty, then after doing another100Kms, was pretty clean, will dump after another 200Km to see how it looks but id say it will be fine.

new model OMG ()_() awesomeeeeeeeeeee

you'll probably never read this comment, but please talk to the guys at Suzuki about an rmx250z. I really need one.

i think they should make a 250 version

I want one :) It has everything I want :D

@motabikeboy wr's are wicked tough, but suzuke usually makes a good bike too.

I wish they had carried on developing this bike and made it into more of an enduro/trail bike

@fatdrood Search "yoshimura cherry bomb" or "yoshi power bomb". If your bike is de-restricted it wont run right without it. Maybe thats why your wanting more power ;) Its basically an RMZ with changes to cam, gear ratios in 1st, 2nd, and rake of front end. Everything else is the same. It goes hard as hell! Same piston, valves, etc as RMZ, same frame, everything is the same as far as i know.

@TheGusto69 just had first ride on my brand new one today and im well pleased! not as much bite as my RMZ but its freaken sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

@fatdrood Nice work! Yea ive done a bit of riding on my now, mostly in Strathbogies (melbourne, Australia). The bike is absolutely awsome! Best bike ive riden. Still havent bought an IMS tank for it yet as ive been spending a lot of money since i got the bike, but will have one in a few weeks id say. The bike is amazing on the trails, its so stable, and all that grunt can really get you out of trouble when suddenly faced with something you didnt expect and fast on steep washout trails.

I going to get one

@TheGusto69 have you done any mods to it? just been reading up and they reckon to put a cherry bomb on it

@MrRescue23 congrats thats a sexy bike =] maybe look into a larger tank though

I’ve got oneeeeeee

I want one! :D

How many hours needs oilchange and airfilter clean?

@TheGusto69 yea i got all the restrictors taken out,need to try find a cherry bomb been looking for a nz website that sells but not having much luck so far

its weird how suzukis RMX-250's in the 90's were a big hit.....today they are not....

so has this basically replaced the drzE?

@TheGusto69 ahh found out the took all the stuff off except for the spark arrestor in the muffler so needa do that and find a cherry bomb

@Rochor73 no way this bike is 10 times better then the drz

race, wonder if they understand there's a lot more people ride on the farm and woods than a frecking track

I bought an RMZ X 450 it was ok , but no where near as powerful as my previous bike a DRZ 400 with a cam and a Yoshi... man that bike although heavy could bark and bite... i loved the DR , not the RMZ.

Is the bike heavy like the DRZ400?

hows the durability on this bike?

how does it compare to a wr450?

You need rego to go anywhere in NSW that is not private property.

its alot lighter than the drz400e by about 14kgs the drz400 is one of the heaviest enduro bikes available doesnt even compare to this but I cant believe they would bring it here without compliance

are they street legal

ohh that sound...i think i just jizzed my pants

alot lighter 12 - 14 kgs approx

class my ass, wheres a 250 cc trail bike.

sizoki
