RM-Z450
Introducing the RM-Z450 with
Suzuki fuel injection. Our engineers developed the RM-Z450
using experience gained developing fuel-injection systems for
Suzuki's legendary GSX-R road race bikes and the
championship-winning QuadRacer
R450 ATV.
The result is the world's only mass-produced, fuel-injected
motocross bike, designed to help you blow away the
competition. As if that breakthrough technology weren't
enough, our engineers used their experience developing Ricky
Carmichael's championship-winning RM-Z450 to redesign the
RM-Z450's chassis, suspension and brakes. That means it offers
sharper handling, smoother suspension performance
and more powerful braking than ever.
And just so no one misses the fact that you're on the hottest bike
on the track, the RM-Z450 is also completely restyled, with
new aerodynamic bodywork that's both sleek and functional. The
all-new fuel-injected RM-Z450 - it gives you the power to
dominate.
Engine Features
-
Electronic Fuel
Injection offers better roll on power and strong low-to-mid
range power. KEIHIN throttle body specifically designed for
motocross. Fuel is delivered via an internal fuel pump and is
a battery-less system
-
5-Speed Transmission
makes the RM-Z450 versatile for various terrain conditions and
features a link type shifting mechanism
-
Intake
port angle and cam timing result in reduced intake resistance
and heightened intake efficiency. Exhaust port and cam timing
are designed to regulate exhaust pulses for maximum engine
performance
-
Battery-less fuel injection system features
a single-phase all-charging system with which the magneto
supplies all of the necessary power
-
18-pin magneto-rotor senses feedback on
crankshaft position, rotation speed and stroke which is fed
back to the ECU to calculate optimum injection and ignition
timings.
-
KEIHIN fuel pump located inside the fuel
tank provides stable pressure delivery to operate the fuel
injection system
-
Combustion chamber designed for strong
low-to-mid range response as well as top-end pull. Narrower
intake and exhaust
valve angle guides along with increased squish areas improve
air/fuel mixing and faster flame-propagation speed when
mixture ignites
-
Semi-dry-sump lubrication system features
separate oil chambers for the transmission and crankshaft
using the transmission as the oil sump, allowing low
crankshaft placement, reduced engine height and a low center
of gravity
Chassis Features
-
Aluminum-alloy twin spar frame is lightweight and has optimum
rigidity balance for incredibly agile handling and unmatched
performance over bumps
-
Aluminum fuel tank houses a KEIHIN fuel
pump for optimum performance and a factory bike look
-
Slim riding position opens up the cockpit
for additional room to allow the rider to actively take
control of the machine
-
Showa cartridge-style front fork is fully
adjustable for rebound, compression and preload settings and
designed for reduced weight and improved shock absorption
-
Showa-brand rear shock absorber designed to
deliver a controlled feel and increased bottoming resistance
-
Aluminum-alloy swingarm for reduced weight
and maximum terrain-traversing performance over bumps
-
Front fender incorporates a sloped-down
shape to efficiently guide wind to the front number plate air
ducts for improved cooling performance. Rear fender
incorporates air intakes on both sides for heighten intake
efficiency
-
2-tone molded-plastic radiator shrouds give
the RM-Z450 a slim feel and stylish look for 2009 while also
complimenting an all-new graphics design and color way
-
Hot start lever is located on the right
hand side of the handlebar for easy operation while holding
the clutch
-
Race inspired brake rotors provide better
cooling performance and increased mud deflection in muddy
conditions
-
Footpegs include maximum clearance between
the mounting bracket and footrest to prevent mud from caking
up
-
Gold-colored chain and axle blocks give a
full factory look
