Suzuki RM-Z250 Mx2 India: Fuel Injection Bike Comes in 2010

Suzuki is a company known in India for its tough and durable bikes. Two years ago the company stole "a march in MX1" with its RM-Z450 fuel injection bike. Now Suzuki announces its MX2 motocross bike, the 2010 Suzuki RM-Z250.

The dirt bike features a battery-less fuel system with a 43 mm throttle-body and progressive throttle linkage, all controlled by a 16-bit computer system. The entire setup is backed up by a lightweight magneto-generator. The RM-Z250 also provides torque and power greater than before.

The frame has been redesigned to deliver better suspension which in turn gives improved traction. The 2010 Suzuki RM-Z250 features fuel injection and an aluminium fuel tank. It even comes with new foot rests and black number boards.

The 2010 Suzuki RM-Z250 has a fresh new look and is expected to be available from any of the authorized Suzuki off-road dealers by this autumn. A recommended retail price will be announced just prior to the bike's launch.

Hyundai i20 CRDi India: Diesel Car to Be Launched Soon

Hyundai Motors India Limited is planning to launch the i20 CRDi diesel model in India. The model has already been spotted doing test drive near the Chennai plant. The company may launch either of the two options of the 1.4L CRDi diesel engine producing 75PS or 90PS. The new model is expected in the showrooms by sometime in July 2009. However, there is no official statement from the company so far regarding the launch, specifications or the price.

Honda has recently launched its small car model Jazz in the Indian market which has been perceived as an over-priced model. On the other hand, i10 and i20 have been well-received in this segment and a new diesel model of Hyundai's premium hatchback will lend the much needed leverage in the sales. The new CRDi model is expected to be priced nearly Rs. 70,000 /- to Rs. 100,000 /- over and above the existing price of its petrol variant.

New Sloting Plus bushings

From Sloting Plus:

Two Combi bushings adapted for a tube ( 1 g total weight ) in order to keep axle straight, ensure perfect alignment of bearings and reduce possible transversal oscillation chassis !
The 31 mm is for example adapted to Ninco Ferrari 360 and Lamborghini Gallardo....
The 31,6 mm ( with a groove in the tube for easy identification ) is for example adapted to Mosler...

Recommended with our axles 2250, 2252 or 2255 and finally, an advantage is also you can keep oil you put under bushings under the tube and so not loose it quickly in the ground ....

UPDATE from Jacques...
Ref 1010 31 mm is for exemple for Mosler's, Megane, Toyota Supra, Honda NSX and Lexus
Ref 1011 31,6 mm is for exemple for Ferrari, Lamborghini and Ascari
