2003 Suzuki RM85L Dual Sport reviews

This bike offers great power. It has all the power you need to become the best 85cc racer in the world. The only thing that I think the manufacturer could have done better was make the suspention stiffer. I recomend this bike to anyone that wants to succeed in the sport motocross. Show less

Very fast, good jumping dirtbike. Best dirtbike that you would ever have. Most reliable bike you will ever find. I would highly recommend this bike to riders everywhere. Show less

I give it a 5 for having great handeling, great throttle response, and it's very comfortable to ride. Yes I do agree about the suspension improvements but all and all its a great bike! Show less

I couldn't ask for more out of my RM85L. It's very fast, even stock and pulls me up jumps and through burms faster than any bike I've ever ridden. I highly recommend this bike to anybody who can fit on it. I love the feel of the suspension, soft, and smooth over whoops. I will soon be adding a FMF SST pipe/ silenver, V-force reeds, and renthal bars. I will write back with the performance gains. Show less

The fastest bike in class, it's got the most horsepower, just for getting over those ramps,awesome low end,mid range, and top end power. Great Suspension, and style. Show less

Stock suspension is seriously lacking compression and rebound. Stock fork springs @ 26kg are way too soft for any kind of MX racing by a 95lb rider. We changed fork springs to 30kg RaceTech springs which helped some. We had MX-Tech do full fork and shock revalving with new pistons. This helped considerably, but the front tire and rear tire still continue to make lots of contact with the front fender and rear airbox shield when landing from 40-85 ft. table top jumps. We are experimenting with different oil levels and compression settings. The stock pipe is great for low to mid range power which helps pull ahead of other make minis in the corners. As stock, the power falls off on high RPM for the straights. We switched to a Bill's platinum pipe (no jetting change required)and gained 1.5-2HP in mid to high RPM with no loss anywhere. The pipe is a definate plus. We will be installing a V-Force reed system to gain further throttle response. The stock gearing is 13/48 for the Big Wheel "L" model and benefits by a slighty lower ratio. Stock triple clamp is very marginal with only 1 pinch bolt for each fork tube. We switched to a Pro Taper fully adjustable top clamp and Pro Taper RM tall bend handlebars. Show less
