2005 SUZUKI
OZARK 250
 Like
its namesake, Mt Ozark in Arkansas, the LT-F250
is rugged yet accessible, and a completely enjoyable
experience for everyone. Packaged in an aggressive
and stylish manner, the Ozark is loaded for work
or play and competitively priced.
The Ozark utilizes a single-cylinder OHC design
with a bore and stroke of 66.0 mm x 72.0 mm creating
a full 246cc of power. A centrifugal automatic clutch
works in conjunction with a wide ratio five-speed
transmission, a convenient reverse gear and a low
maintenance shaft drive system. Air cooling and
a wet sump oiling system keep the Ozark simple and
lightweight while an electronic CDI ignition and
automatic cam chain tensioner continue the low-maintenance
theme. Suzuki's start-in-gear system allows for
easy restarts in any gear and a single 29mm carburetor,
large-capacity air box and tuned exhaust system
help the little 246cc engine breathe. Anchoring
the Ozark is a steel-tube frame with a 44.9 inch
(1140mm) wheelbase, and 8.3 inches (210mm) of ground
clearance. It was designed for minimal weight and
maximum strength. Front suspension consists of an
independent double-wishbone, coil-over-dual shock
arrangement that delivers a full 5.5 inches (140mm)
of wheel travel. A single-shock swingarm rear suspension
also provides 5.5 inches (140mm) of wheel travel.
The Ozark has a comfortable, well-padded and
contoured seat that's 30.9 inches (785mm) from the
ground. Integrated bodywork with flared fenders,
built in mud-guards, full floorboards and a large
four-liter storage box underneath the seat come
standard. Fuel capacity is a generous 10.6 liters
(2.8 gallons) and includes 2.6 liters (0.7 gallons)
of reserve capacity actuated via a vacuum-operated
petcock. Durable steel wheels are mounted at all
four corners and braking duties are handled by dual
6.3 inch (160mm) discs with single piston calipers
up front. A cable-operated drum brake stops things
at the rear. Unlike many would-be competitors, the
Ozark boasts dual multi-reflector halogen headlights,
a generator system producing 170mm watts of power,
as well as a DC power outlet. Steel-tube racks are
mounted front and rear, plus a trailer hitch is
standard equipment.
The 2005 LT-F250 Ozark, ready for fun when the
work is done.
