- Engine Features
-
- The high-revving, 84.7cm³ liquid-cooled, 2-stroke, reed-valve, single-cylinder engine has a bore and stroke of 48.0mm x 46.8mm.
- The cylinder features Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating for durability, low weight, and effective heat transfer that deliver superior class performance.
- The exhaust valves are made of aluminum to best match the expansion rate of the cylinder, improving sealing for better engine performance.
- The exhaust valve governor and actuator help provide good throttle response and overall tractability.
- Precise KEIHIN PE28 carburetor provides smooth throttle response and is designed for simplified maintenance and tuning.
- Digital CDI mapping helps create strong engine performance at high rpm.
- The large-capacity radiator provides efficient engine cooling at all engine speeds.
- The RM85/L is equipped with a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission and a precise rack-and-pinion activated clutch.
- The long clutch lever makes it easy to accurately locate and work the engagement point during starts and when driving out of corners.
- The durable transmission features a refined shift mechanism with a strong detent spring and needle bearing on the left side of the shift drum.
- A knurled shift-pedal tip delivers excellent grip and shift feel for precise gear selection.
- Chassis Features
-
- A tubular steel frame with aluminum beam swingarm provides class-leading performance on the track, especially in the corners. Designed for rigidity, durability and straight-line performance, the frame features large diameter tubing in key areas and a large front reinforcement plate.
- The SHOWA 37mm inverted-style front forks are completely adjustable for rider weight, style, and ability. The forks feature a cartridge system with fully adjustable rebound damping and 20-way adjustable compression damping (also included are guards to protect the inner fork tubes). The fork legs have 275mm of travel.
- The SHOWA large diameter rear shock absorber is valved to produce a plush feel and is resistant to bottoming. The shock provides 277mm of wheel travel and features adjustable compression and rebound damping force adjustment.
- A twin-piston caliper front brake with 220mm large-diameter disc and rear brake with 200mm disc provide excellent braking performance.
- The light, narrow-diameter front and rear brake hoses improve feel and feedback to the rider. The front hose is routed behind the fork leg, eliminating the need for a brake hose cover.
- A rigid rear brake caliper provides reliable braking performance and long pad life, and is easy to maintain. The caliper's plastic guard reduces the possibility of damage and saves weight.
- The forged aluminum alloy rear brake pedal is light and strong, while providing the rider accurate braking feel.
- High-quality footpegs are made of cast chrome-molybdenum steel, instead of stamped steel, which makes them more durable with better grip.
- Champion Yellow No.2 bodywork with RM-Z style graphics design plus black fork protectors and guards provide a professional race look.
- Each side of the new color seat has a textured surface for better knee gripping.
- The RM85 sports a 17-inch front (70/100-17 40M, tube type) and 14-inch rear (90/100-14 49M, tube type) tire, while the RM85L has a 19-inch front (70/100-19 42M, tube type) and 16-inch rear (90/100-16 52M, tube type) tire.
