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. Updated for '04, the Ozark also features a new rear fence bar to secure luggage on the rear rack, an added grease nipple on the universal joint for easy maintenance, and additional oil and dust seals for improved mud protection. 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 re-starts 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.
