OZARK 250
FEATURES
 Introducing
the all new 2002 Suzuki LT-F250 Ozark. Like its
namesake; Mt Ozark in Arkansas, the LT-F250 is built
to be practical, accessible, convenient and a completely
enjoyable experience for everyone. Packaged with
a stylish modern look, the LT-F250 is equally happy
at work or play, full of features and value priced,
further reinforcing Suzuki's recommitment to the
ATV marketplace in 2002 and beyond.
The all new Ozark features a single-cylinder, overhead
cam design with a bore and stroke of 66 mm x 72
mm creating a full 246cc's of torque producing motor.
A centrifugal-automatic clutch works with a smooth
shifting wide ratio five-speed transmission, a convenient
reverse gear and low-maintenance 2WD shaft drive
system. Air-cooling and a wet-sump oiling system
help to make the LT-F250 simpler and lighter, while
an electronic CDI ignition system and automatic
cam chain tensioner allow for reduced maintenance.
The SOHC valve train uses rocker arms and simple
screw tappets for easy valve adjustments, while
the auxiliary starting system is a recoil pull-type.
The Suzuki start-in-gear system provides easy re-starts
in any gear with the brake lever pulled in. A single
29 mm carburetor, large capacity airbox, and tuned
exhaust system combine to produce a broad powerband
with an emphasis on mid-range torque.
 Anchoring
the Ozark is a rugged steel tube chassis featuring
a 1140 mm (44.9 inches) wheelbase, 2.6 meter (8.5
feet) turning radius and 210 mm (8.3 inches) of
ground clearance, while a steel tube bumper and
grill guard are standard. Suspension duties are
handled by an independent double wishbone coil over
dual shock arrangement in front, delivering a full
140 mm (5.5 inches) of wheel travel, with a single
shock swingarm rear suspension also providing 140
mm (5.5 inches) of wheel travel at the rear.
The LT-F250 Ozark has a comfortable, well padded
and contoured seat with 785 mm (30.9 inches) of
seat height and also features integrated bodywork
with flared fenders, built-in mud guards, full floorboards,
and a large 4 liter (1.1 US Gallon) storage box
mounted underneath the seat. Fuel capacity is a
generous 10.6 liters (2.8 US Gallons) including
2.6 liters (0.7 US Gallons) of reserve capacity.
A vacuum-operated petcock automatically turns fuel
flow on or off when the engine is started or stopped.
Durable steel wheels are mounted at all four corners
and braking duties are handled by dual 160 mm (6.3
inches) discs combined with single piston calipers
up front with a semi-sealed cable operated drum
brake out back.
 Unlike
many competitor models, the Ozark features dual
multi-reflector halogen headlights, a charging system
that produces a strong 170 watts of power. Integrated
steel-tube racks are mounted front and rear as standard
equipment.
The 2002 LT-F250 Ozark, ready for fun when the work
is done.
