Engine
- The 248cc, parallel-twin engine that powers the GSX250R ABS has been refined to maximize low- to mid-range torque to deliver a power characteristic that emphasizes ease of operation
- Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) stabilizes the engine idle and helps provide nearly linear throttle response for clean, exciting performance while projected tip-style spark plugs enhance combustion, improving throttle response and fuel economy.
- The camshaft profile helps maximize engine performance when riding at road speeds of 15 to 55 mph. This helps the GSX250R ABS deliver true, practical performance.
- Designed to get the most out of the engine’s mid-range performance and emit a pleasing sound, the GSX250R ABS’s exhaust is lightweight and stylish.
- Low-tension piston rings are used to reduce friction, while a special honing pattern on the cylinder wall increases oil retention for additional friction reduction.
- A coupling-type balancer shaft fitted to the engine’s crankshaft reduces vibration and enhances rider comfort.
Transmission
- A six-speed transmission, with gear ratios well matched to the engine’s output, further improves low- to mid-range power delivery.
Chassis
- The nose of the motorcycle features unique dual LED position lights, angular fairing-mounted mirrors, and an effective sport windshield that incorporates slots that help reduce wind buffeting.
- The stylish and trim fuel tank holds 4.0 US gallons (15.0 liters) of gasoline for excellent riding range. A three-dimensional “S” badges on the fairing and upper fork bracket celebrate the Suzuki brand and its heritage of technological and styling excellence.
- Ten-spoke, 17-inch, cast aluminum wheels are shod with IRC tires that provide sporting performance across a variety of road conditions.
- The well-tuned telescopic fork soaks up bumps for smooth tracking up front and the rear suspension action is managed by a mono-shock system with a seven-way adjustable spring preload.
Electrical
- The GSX250R ABS is equipped with a back-lit multifunction LCD instrumentation panel that displays a wealth of information.
- The bright halogen headlight is bracketed by a pair of distinctive position lamps using high-tech, surface-emitting LEDs.
- The rear taillight also uses surface-emitting LEDs for excellent visibility to traffic.
- The turn signals feature amber incandescent bulbs with clear lenses and are well placed to not interfere with a passenger or accessories+.
Body & Styling Features
- The semi-double-cradle frame provides a strong foundation for the GSX250R ABS’s quality suspension, ABS-equipped brakes*, and full bodywork featuring an aggressive style with a futuristic flair. The front fairing offers aggressive styling and functionally routes cool air to the radiator while moving hot air from the engine away from the rider.
- The mass-forward styling of the tail section and its LED taillight are evocative of the GSX-R1000R.
- The clip-on handlebar’s design and reach were developed to provide a comfortable riding position.
- The comfortable, contoured rider’s seat has a low seat height of 790mm (31.1 inches) and the separate rear seat is set higher, so the passenger has a better view over the rider’s shoulder.
