The 2018 Suzuki 250 had exactly zero changes from the previous year… and the year before and…. well, let’s just say it’s ready for the changes coming in 2019. We still wanted to build a good yellow machine so we dropped in a big-bore kit from Cylinder Works, along with an FMF exhaust, Vortex ignition, Stage 2 Hot Cam, and tuning from Twisted Development. Once we poured some VP fuel into this rocket, finished off the look and finish with some bolt-on parts we were ready to go. Spoiler alert: it was really fun.
