Features |
Engine FeaturesThe RM85's high-revving 84.7cc, 2-stroke, liquid-cooled, reed-valve engine has a bore and stroke of 48.0mm x 46.8mm. The cylinder features Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) for durability, weight reduction and effective heat transfer for superior class performance. |
| A Keihin™ PE28 carburetor provides smooth throttle response and is designed for simplified maintenance. |
| The exhaust valves are made of aluminum to best match the expansion rate of the cylinder itself, improve sealing. |
| The RM85's exhaust valve governor and actuator helps provide good throttle response and overall tractability. |
| A digital CDI map helps provide strong engine performance at higher rpms. |
| The RM85 comes with a large-capacity radiator for efficient engine cooling. |
|
Transmission Features The RM85 is equipped with a smooth shifting six-speed transmission. The transmission features a fully worked-out shift mechanism including a strong shift-drum detent spring and needle bearing on the left side of the shift drum. A knurled shift-pedal tip delivers excellent grip and shift feel. |
|
Chassis Features A tubular steel frame and thick wall aluminum swingarm provides class-leading performance on the track, especially in the corners. The frame was designed for increased rigidity, durability and straight-line performance; it features large diameter tubing in key areas and a large front reinforcement plate. |
| Showa 37mm inverted front forks are completely adjustable for rider weight, style and ability. The forks feature a cartridge damping system with fully-adjustable rebound damping and 20-way adjustable compression damping (also included are fork guards to protect the inner fork tubes). The front forks offer 275mm (10.8-inches) of travel. |
| A Showa rear shock absorber, with large diameter shock body, is designed and properly valved to produce a plush feel and increase bottoming resistance. The Showa rear shock provides 277mm (10.9-inches) of wheel travel. |
| The RM85 comes with a twin-piston caliper front brake with 220mm (8.7-inches) large-diameter disc and a rear brake with 200mm (7.9-inches) disc to provide excellent braking performance. |
| The RM85 also comes with a light, narrow-diameter front and rear brake hose. The font brake hose is routed behind the fork leg, eliminating the need for a brake hose cover, which helps reduce weight. |
| A rigid rear brake caliper provides reliable braking performance, long pad life and is easy to maintain. |
| A plastic rear brake caliper guard reduces the possibility of deformation and saves weight as well. |
| The RM85's forged aluminum-alloy rear brake pedal gives the rider accurate braking feel. |
| The RM85's footpegs are made of cast chrome-molybdenum steel, instead of stamped steel, which makes them more durable with better grip. |
| A long clutch lever makes it easy to accurately locate and work the engagement point during starts and when clutching off at corners. |
| Each side of the RM85's seat has textured surface for better knee gripping. |
| The RM85's wheel sizes meet AMA 85cc class regulations (Front: 70/100-17; Rear: 90/100-14). |
