Vehicle Information
Suzuki RM500 Dirt Bike (1983-1984)
The Suzuki RM500, available for the 1983 and 1984 model years, was a formidable air-cooled, single-cylinder, two-stroke motocross machine designed for competition. With its 492cc engine, it succeeded the RM465, bringing increased displacement and significant chassis improvements upon its debut. Positioned as a high-performance off-road motorcycle, the RM500 aimed to deliver raw power and agile handling for serious riders. While both years shared the 492cc engine, the 1984 RM500E received notable internal engine changes, including a new cylinder and exhaust system, specifically designed to enhance low- and mid-range power delivery. This resulted in the 1984 model feeling significantly stronger than its 1983 RM500D predecessor. Suspension components also saw improvements in 1984, alongside minor cosmetic updates to the fuel tank and decals. These annual designations effectively served as the model's trims. Q: Does this product fit my 1983 or 1984 Suzuki RM500?
