2020 suzuki rmz250 review Авто/Мото
End of last year I picked up a 2018 RMZ450 leftover at a great price and was able to change suspension, pegs, levers grips and pipe still cheaper then buy a 2020. Best thing ever and I love the bike!!
sounds good, thanks for sharing!
The RMZ´s in general are much better bikes than most people think.
Good review.
thanks brother!
I just bought a 2012 rmz250 for like 3 grand and I gotta say thank you for all the content. It's my first dirtbike and all of your maintenance videos have really helped me. I wouldn't have known oil and filter change intervals unless I saw your content!
right on, glad I can help! have fun!
Good video. I bought a used 2009 250 4 stroke and besides some wear and tear damage that I fixed myself it looks and runs good! Still starts with 1 kick from cold after 11 years and it used to be used for racing by the original owner!
YES IS THE BEST BIKE SUZUKI
Yes it is
Really nice review like always, the detail for the ECU is very good. Looks like this bike runs safe and pretty nice
Thanks Abraham! 👍
i have a 14 rmz250 and i haven’t had a single issue with it. i love it
glad to hear that!
I’ve a 18 rmz250.. for a guy, reliving my youth only just on the good side of 50, this is a great bike. Too many knit-picking, overall, keep it serviced and do the proper maintenance, you’ll enjoy these bikes for many many years to come.
Right on! Have fun Peter
I don't know why but whenever I think of a new bike it is never a Suzuki..........then I ride one and all my misgivings disappear. The doggone bikes just work for me......they turn, they are solid enough in the rough stuff, the power is agreeable, and I can ride one all day without exhausting myself. Seems like this always happens......from now on I'm gonna start with the Zook instead of finally coming around to it. All in all, a comfortable and predictable bike for an old geezer like me. Hang in there, Rado and keep the Faith, Tom P.S. How's the moisture out there? Here is Kansas it has been raining a bunch.....may have to trade bike for an Ark and start putting in animals, 2 by 2........ Nice traction for a change!
definitely great bikes. I wish it would rain here as well, we have hot summer over 90 every day and super dry. Not much fun on the trails, thats why I spend most of the time on the track, they water and prep the track..
Wise man! I love them too.
Great vid man!! I hated on suzuki for years and than in 2017 I was looking to buy my first new bike but they all started at $8400.00 before taxes Canadian for a 250 except suzuki, so i swallowed my pride and found a rmz250 for $6400.00!!!! and after taxes it was just under $7300.00!!! I was happy with the price but still unsure of the bike. my first ride on it was the best time i have ever had on a bike! so now i can't shut up about how wrong i was about this great handling bike!
thanks for sharing man, glad you are happy on your suzuki!
love my 2019 Suzuki RMZ 250... greatest bike i’ve ridden so far. Couldn’t pass it up when i saw her in the store.
Cool man, thanks for sharing!
So why do people change the suspension ? Ill be doing like trail riding and sand and a little bit of street thats all. Not even doing crazy stuff just enjoying the bike.. will i be okay with stock suspension? Id rather put the money towards exhaust and tune..(2022 rmz250)
Great video, I love my 19 rmz250, I'm a novice rider and it does everything I need it to do. 👍
Right on!
Great review I've been on Suzuki for years I'm Looking at a 2019 or a 2020 not sure if too WAIT for the 2021.thanks for a honest review.
thanks man, glad you like it!
Back to basics, I like it. I also want to get better at motocross and have been thinking of buying a basic 250 to start out the right way. Suzuki's have been getting a lot of hate in shootout videos but they are still a great option, even if they don't have all the modern bells and whistles.
exactly, I think you would be happy on rmz.
Great video man, also where did you get those rapids from because ima need myself some of those 💥💳
I just picked up a 2019 rmz250 yesterday with 10 hours on it for 3700 ,thing looks brand new !! I plan on riding track an trails once suspension is dialed in which shouldn’t take much since I’m 230 lbs so stiff suspension should work out A ok !
Couldn't agree more with your assessment at 4:30 , I have a '15 rmz250 with a vortex / fmf (stock engine) and its an amazing upgrade. Pulls a bigger guy like me anywhere and over whatever i want.
Cool Colton, glad we see it the same way!
I have the same year I love what sprocket setup would you recommend front and back new to modify bikes never used to touch them but now I’m old enough and I can pay for parts myself it would be much appreciated any other mods you recommend
Good honest review Rado thanks...
thanks mate, glad you like it!
Nice!
I bought the 2018 a while ago.
Love the bike. (changed for my yamaha)
Changed the renthal for a twinwall. (just personal preference)
And bought an other rear shock,, couldnt get the Showa BFRC right.
Now on Reiger suspension and pro circuit lower linkage 🤙 Lovely bike. enough power to have a beautifull day at the track.
Thanks for sharing!
@@dirtniron Thanks for the good review 👌
For the price, in Europe, this bike it's amazing.Probably add this bike next year.
sounds good Ivan!
Owned three open class smokers & kept my KX500. 1993 bought klx650r, did the carb mods B4 riding& did same with WR400F. So as a 54 yr old with not much to prove anymore. I got want good cornering&brakes. I’m 6’ &233lb. So the suspension is rite for me. I rarely ride my woods yz smoker anymore. Because my 19 is so fun
2019RMZ250
Sick vid the bikes looking 👌
Glad you like it Noah, thanks!
Thanks for you awesome videos. They are very interesting and informative. I have been riding for a year now. I have a CRF 230 f which has been a great starter bike. However, I am looking to upgrade to a RMZ 250 or 450. I am not sure. Do you think the 450cc will be too much of an upgrade and just go for the a RMZ 250?
definitely not 450, too much bike.. I think you will be happy on rmz250
Get you also some scratches on the swingarm from the chain that hits that swingarm
I ride a crf250r. I'm 6'3 and 230 lbs. I'm a big guy but I'm also a beginner. The 250 has enough power for me and I think if I had a 450 I would be more focused on keeping the bike under controll than paying attention to my form, technique, and improving as a rider.
sounds good Jon, thanks for sharing!
Nice Review mate - very good
Glad you enjoyed it
As long as I can keep getting them for $6k out the door, I'll buy em up. I've never maxed out an RMZ so guess what, I won't max out anything faster than that either.
sounds good, the price is really good on these bikes
Not anymore with covid. Msrp an I still but em new baby! #RMZ450
Great info as always Rado. I am about to go get a 2019 RMZ250, only 5 hours on it. I mostly ride trail with the occasional trip to the track. Would you say that this would be good on the trails? i am 6' and 230lbs. I have heard that the suspension would be good for a guy my weight since it is pretty stiff out of the box. Thank you again and thank you MORE for helping me get my 2019 WR450 dialed in with the ECU/CCU info. I am much better on it now but think a bike with less power is what i need.
Dave, i am not sure if this bike would be good for trails, it’s possible but it wasnt made for that. Suspension in my opinion will feel stiff out of the box, it is set for jumps and higher speed bumps on the track, i think it need to be dialed for trails in order to get best out of it. Can you test ride it on the trails before you commit?
@@dirtniron that is great info my friend. thank you
I still ride an 06 rm 125 the power of a 2 stroke is just heaven
I want one! Good review 👍
thanks Joe, glad you like it!
U won't be sorry. '21 RMZ450 in my garage now buddy;)
Enjoyed ya my friend. Nice insight. Great looking bike for sure. B well .. Regards, Old G
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks man!
How would you rate this as far as a beginners bike? How snappy is the throttle response? Tried a KX250F and can’t say I enjoyed it. Low key scared the shit outta me... waaaay to snappy, unpredictable power for me... a beginner. Is the RMZ250 pretty predictable or super snappy?
Advice?! Thanks dude(s) (last bike I rode was a KX100 lol)
it is very predictable, I think you would like the smooth power in stock form, not very snappy- whiskey throttle wont get you in a big trouble
I just got a 2022 for $5,999. Same bike, no new buttons but still the most cost effective bike on the market
right on, have fun!
Would this bike do good on the trails?
❤️❤️❤️
What a lot of people don't understand is that all 250 MX bikes are insanely hopped up beasts and the shootouts are not the end all be all of the class. There are a ton of newer riders that are a little heavier and the Suzuki caters perfectly to them. As long as you are on a bike, it is a good day!
exactly, day on the bike is always a good day ;)
Hopefully I get a 2019 RMZ 250 by next month. Found one for a good price
Good choice!
whats size fork springs did you go with? cheers
I am not sure, Racetech did that to match my riding and size
Awesome review! Still rocking my 2014 rmz250 been the most reliable bike that I’ve owned
thanks Damon, glad to hear that!
Ask Suzuki for a leftover 17-20 RMX450Z. I got a brand new 2017 from Ride Now Tucson for $5600 OTD for my 66th birthday in March, after 7 years withouta dirt bike. I know it's a bit heavy, and more of a trailbike than a racer. But you have to put things in perspective. I was only going to trail ride. It made 25hp on the dyno stock. After uncorked the airbox and the muffler it made 36hp, but was super lean and the ran super hot. I considered a JD or Vortex tuner ($240-$280), but I watched a RUclips video showing how to adjust the FI mixture with a multimeter and a screwdriver. The FI circuit pulls 26 mA at Idle and 38 mA at 7500. I ended up at 34 mA at idle and 41 mA at 7500. With a Yosh slip-on it makes 44 HP @8,800 rpm with buttery smooth gobs of torque everywhere. Runs great from 900 feet to 6500. It weighs 20lbs less than my first dirt bike, a 1972 Yamaha 250 Enduro at 272lbs but the Yamaha made 21hp to go with its 5" front and 3.2" rear suspension travel.
It would make a great project for your channel. Plus there are leftover 17-20 RMX450Zs everywhere for 30-40% or more off their original sticker price.
My last Suzuki was a 1996 RMX250.
A 2022 tpi RMX300 could save this desperate company.
thank you for sharing, this is a really good info. I was curious to know more about those bikes, they are not very popular and way to choked stock.. but apparently you can make them run really good. Lets see if we can get to test one.
@@dirtniron Raddo, thanks I love your channel, and am especially glad that you featured the YZ125X. In my 60s now, I feel fit and excited to be out in the Desert and Mountains here in Arizona. But the RMX450Z is a load on my knees after a long day. My next might be a 125 or 250F bike because with the lightweight it would be less strain on the knees.
If they run the Copper Classic in San Manuel this Spring you are welcome to come down stay at our home/camp.

I've got the same bike. A 2018 RMX450z. Love it. I ride in the east where it is tight. Put a 12t on the front and a 51 on the rear. Put in a Rekluse and the bike is great. Goes up anything.
Do a review of a rmz 450 dirt n iron
What spring rate did you put in the forks?
not sure the rate but softer than stock, and I am not a light guy. Racetech did the work
who teh coMfort corner rnz vs crf
Beautiful machine! I always loved my RMs an want a new RMZ450. They are wonderful machines. Fast & very reliable. #RMZ450
Yes they are!
This or a YZ250X for occasional MX for a Vet?
if you need to ride trails and the track then I would probably go for 250x or 250fx yamaha .. straight track this rmz250 has all you need for a vet guy
do you have a link for the ecu?
get in touch with Twisted www.td-racing.com/
Have you rebuilt it, if so how many times
no, just the oil change and air filter maintenance
Dirt N Iron awesome, just picked one up today, even from
Suzuki still pRoductioN rmz or nOt . For 2021??
yes they do, same as 2020
I’m confused about all the underpowered confusion you guys realize rmz has some of the best low - midrange torque? Aka 90% of you riding ..🤦 people . It’s more important your bike pull strong in its constant range not how many hp resurrect at 11k rpm that’s only helping yoh when your engine is screaming mate . Rmz best torque and hp 5-8k rpm. That’s some of the most vital ranges in racing or accelerating
Is it a good beginner bike????
yes, I think so
Cant have the bike get nicer and the price stay low. Every little bit they add to it it rises.
I really like your channel but the direction it's seems to be going is quite different from when you started kind of disappointing the whole motocross thing is repetitive and most people that ride dirt bikes don't even have access to a track I hope you get back to riding more trail oriented content as it has so much more to offer and experience.
thanks for the feedback Rob, appreciate it. my channel follows my current focus/passion .. so I do videos based on what I am currently passionate about, I admit that last year motocross became more dominant, thats because I really want to get better at it and I spent majority of time riding the track. will take your comment to consideration, thanks man!
Speak for yourself that most people with a dirt bike don’t have a track access just because u dont
Getting famous off comments day 49! So I can live my dream. Just trying to get my name out there! Stay safe and stay sendy
Still the same bike in 2023
Fast and powerful enough for the casual rider. But trying to justify buying a Suzuki over a Yamaha, Honda or Kawasaki isn't possible.
$ savings.. ?
@@dirtniron depends on what you mean by savings I guess. Initial cost sure. But overall Suzuki has a bit of a history of unreliability
@@dirtniron I will say though. Susuki has the bike down to a science in terms of comfort. Even if it falls flat a bit its sure not a bad ride at all.
@@Cody2nd im guessing that's because you have limited experience with the brand in general.
@@trevor866 Suzuki's are reliable. At least my RMX has been reliable. And I hear from others that their RMZ's are very, very good, so I'm not sure what you are basing your opinion on.
Great video man, also where did you get those rapids from because ima need myself some of those 💥💳
sorry man, whats the rapid?
