Suzuki - Kawasaki partnership not dead

In Japan anyway. I was browsing the Yoshimura website looking at the carbie Dean (Tremor38) is getting and looking at the D-Tracker page. After that I wandered on over to exhausts, looked at the D-Tracker and guess what, the picture is of a Suzuki. So I looked in the Suzuki section and low and behold under 250SB is the very same pix.

Oh yeah Marty this is for you

Actually, the 250SB is no longer made. I asked my dealer why and he said the relationship between Kawasaki and Suzuki had gone sour, so I thnk it's pretty much the same situation in Japan. I think that is the same reason Suzuki still has the DRZ400, but Kawi doesn't have it's sister bike anymore (KLX400).

The specs on the ST-1 cam are pretty nice.

Here's the approximate conversion.

Duration @ .040" Intake 234 / Exhaust 238
Max Lift Intake .352/ Exhaust .368
