ChassisSuzuki has made minimal modifications to the all-conquering RM-Z450s potent four-valve, DOHC engine for the RMX450Z. This lightweight engine now features a modified inlet tract along with revised cam profiles to increase low and mid-rpm power. Wider gear ratios in the 5-speed constant-mesh transmission that work with revised primary and final-drive ratios are ideally suited for a broad range of conditions, from scaling steep trails to high-speed open-terrain riding. The addition of a coolant reservoir tank increases on-trail reliability, while a relocated filler cap improves access. Because the trail can be a rocky place, a new engine protector plate is fitted. No stone was left unturned.
Sit on an RM-Z450. Now go sit on the new RMX450Z. Feels just about the same, right? Thats right. With an ideal riding position resulting from the motocross-developed seat, slim bodywork and low-profile aluminum alloy fuel tank, the RMX450Z allows the rider to concentrate on the terrain. A comfortable rider is a fast rider.
A durable, ultra-compact enclosure houses a full-function instrument cluster on the RMX450Zand can be configured for two modes, standard and sport . The sport mode simplifies the display so the rider can concentrate on terrain; it shows the timer, tripmeter, average speed and tire-diameter correction. In the standard mode, the display also shows speed, time, two trip lengths, and voltage. An integrated tire diameter calculator allows precise fine tuning for different tires to ensure accuracy of the speed and distance displays. The RMX450Z also features a low fuel level warning light for confident off-road riding anywhere you go.
Suzukis light and effective aluminum alloy twin-spar frame construction is used in the RMX450Z, employing both cast and extruded sections for the utmost benefits of both: low weight, high rigidity, and high durability. The RMX450Zs aluminum alloy swingarm is derived from the RM-Z450s to maintain ideal balance, while the rear suspension linkage benefits from reduced free play. Its geometry combines the RM series renowned turning-on-rails abilities with optimized handling performance that all serious trail riders want.
Derived from the RM-Z450, the RMX450Zs trail ready suspension features the same phenomenal action as the race bike. The RMX450Z suspension utilizes high performance rebound and compression damping adjustable Showa forks combined with a Showa piggyback reservoir style rear shock featuring two-way adjustable compression damping with adjustable rebound damping and preload adjustments. Spring rates have been optimized for off-road riding. Every aspect of the RMX450Zs performance envelope has been carefully considered for serious off-road riding without compromising a millimeter of quality.
Footpegs include maximum clearance between the mounting bracket and footrest to prevent mud from caking up
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
Showa cartridge-style front fork is fully adjustable for rebound, compression and preload settings and designed for reduced weight and improved shock absorption
Slim riding position opens up the cockpit for additional room to allow the rider to actively take control of the machine
EngineThe trail is no place to wear yourself out kick-starting a bike, so the RMX450Z comes with an electric starter, energized by a compact battery centrally located to reduce its influence on weight distribution and balance of the bike. To charge the battery and power the RMX450Zs lights, a larger magneto-generator is fitted. Its a win-win situation.
Suzuki pioneered fuel injection for motocrossers, and the RMX450Z shares all key technologies with the stunning RM-Z450. Fuel injection improves fuel efficiency, throttle response and reduces emissions, allowing the RMX450Z to be green sticker eligible in the state of California. On the every trail in the world, the RMX450Zs fuel injection provides unmatched smoothness of power delivery and trail-ready reliability thanks to a KEIHIN throttle body with progressive linkage. This advanced fuel injection system also eliminates the need for re-jetting at higher elevations. To best suit the RMX450Z to life on the trail, the airbox features a hinged lid for quick air-filter maintenance and better protection from dust. Suzukis vast experience with motorcycle fuel injection both on and off-road help make this among the best systems available.

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
KEIHIN fuel pump located inside the fuel tank provides stable pressure delivery to operate the fuel injection system
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
