ENGINE POWER
The 248cm3 parallel-twin engine that powers the GSX250R underwent thorough analysis and optimization to maximize low- to mid-range torque and provide a powerful ride that features ease of control.
PERFORMANCE
Intelligent engine design and fuel-injection (EFI) tuning yields class-leading fuel economy while satisfying worldwide emission requirements. The EFI also stabilizes the engine idle and helps provide nearly linear throttle response for clean, exciting performance.
CYLINDER
The honing pattern used for the cylinder barrels maintains lubrication for the pistons in a manner that helps minimize any loss of performance due to friction
CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head adopts roller type rocker arms that minimize friction loss
HIGHLY EFFICIENT, LIGHTWEIGHT EXHAUST SYSTEM
The two-into-one exhaust system for the GSX250R features an optimized shape for the chamber in front of the catalyzer. This maximizes acceleration performance at mid-range speeds, while the efficiency of the system also reduces exhaust emissions. The muffler adopts a shape that contributes to better engine output and torque by reducing power loss. It delivers a pleasing sound while its design also contributes to better cornering
FRONT AND REAR (KYB) SUSPENSION WITH CUSTOM SETTINGS
Contributes to weight reduction and retains reassuring handling characteristics, while at the same time adding a sportier feel
