Chassis Features

• The Katana essence is present in the GSX250R’s full bodywork that features a sporty and aggressive style with a futuristic flair. Select styling cues from historic and current Suzuki sportbikes appeal to both new and experienced riders.
• The fairing routes cooling air to the radiator while moving hot air from the engine away from the rider.
• The sharp tail has styling and a LED taillight reminiscent of a GSX-R1000R.
• The stylish and trim fuel tank holds 4.0 US gallons (15.0 L) of gasoline for excellent riding range. With a full tank of gasoline, the Katana 250 has a riding range of approximately 280 miles.
• The comfortable contoured rider’s seat has a low seat height of 31.1 inch (790 mm).
• The separate rear seat is set higher so the passenger has a better view over the rider’s shoulder.
• The semi double-cradle frame provides exceptional support for the GSX250R’s effective running gear and exciting bodywork.
• The well-tuned telescopic front fork soaks up bumps for smooth tracking up front – whether riding irregular city streets or faster open roads.
• Rear suspension action is handled by a mono-shock system that stays hidden from view to augment the bike’s performance style. With seven-way adjustable spring preload, the rear suspension can be tuned for a passenger or cargo.
• The clip-on handlebar’s design and reach were developed to provide a comfortable riding position.
• The 5-way adjustable front brake lever allows the rider to position the lever for comfort and confidence.
• Hydraulic, petal-style disc brakes front and rear provide consistent and controlled braking whether commuting on city streets or roaming the open road.
• New-style, ten-spoke 17-inch aluminum wheels hold road-grabbing IRC tires that provide sporting performance through a variety of road conditions.

Electrical Features

• The GSX250R is equipped with a new, reverse-lit multi-function LCD instrumentation panel that displays a variety of information.
• At the top of the display is a bar-graph tachometer and in the center is large digital speedometer with a convenient digital clock and digital gear position indicator.
• Also present in the panel is an odometer, twin trip meter, fuel gauge readouts and a service reminder. A bright, programmable shift light is joined by LED alert indicators for the turn signals, engine functions and high beam.
• The bright halogen headlight is bracketed by a pair of distinctive position lamps using new 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 luggage.
• New, projected tip style spark plugs speed up the rate of combustion, improving throttle response and fuel economy.
• The GSX250R uses an open type regulator/rectifier to reduce charging system draw that can rob power from the engine. A maintenance-free battery makes sure the motorcycle starts quickly each time.

Engine Features

• The 248cc parallel-twin engine that powers the GSX250R has been refined to maximize low- to mid-range torque to deliver a power characteristic that emphasizes ease of control.
• Intelligent engine design and fuel-injection (EFI) tuning yields class-leading fuel economy while satisfying world-wide emission requirements.
• The EFI also stabilizes the engine idle and helps provide nearly linear throttle response for clean, exciting performance.
• The camshaft profile maximizes engine performance when riding at road speeds between 15 to 55 MPH. This helps the GSX250R deliver true, practical performance.
• The valve train employs new, roller type rocker arms for valve actuation to reduce mechanical losses.
• New intake valves have a slimmer stem profile near the head to optimize airflow into the combustion chamber.
• Reshaped, 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.
• A new type of oil pump is used in the GSX250R to reduce frictional loss while providing excellent engine lubrication.
• Dual head-pipes effectively route the exhaust through a high-flow catalyzer and into a new, stylish solo muffler covered with a buffed stainless-steel shield.
• A six-speed transmission, with gear ratios well mated to the engine output, further improves low- to mid-range power delivery.
