Suzuki updated its four-stroke range to four-valves-per-cylinder 'GSX' specification in 1980. To boost mid-range torque, a presumed deficiency of four-valve designs, Suzuki came up with a novel 'Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber' (TSCC) which featured small valves, a central ridge and squish bands front and rear. The method of valve actuation and adjustment changed too, the GSX range adopting forked rockers and screw adjusters instead of the GS's inverted bucket tappets. Moving further away from its two-stoke origins, Suzuki abandoned the preceding GS models' built-up roller-bearing crankshaft in favour of a more conventional forged item with plain bearings. The GSX's cycle parts were state-of-the-art, if conventional, comprising a tubular steel frame, telescopic forks, twin-shock rear suspension, alloy wheels and triple-disc braking on the larger models. There are no documents with this GSX250, which displays a believed-genuine total of only 389.5 miles on the odometer (see file).
