1990 Suzuki year code: K

The 1989 year's VT250K was introduced in February 1989. Although the J and K models look the same, many modifcations were made for the second model year. I have seen a list of 28 modfications, from different gear ratios to modification of CDI control units, carburettors and diverse engine parts. The changes were all minor updates and refinements of the product but many parts, both in engine and in the body, were updated. The front tire was changed from 110/70-17 53h to 110/70-17 54h. The overall weight of the bike was increased by 3 kg (6.6 lbs). Another model, VT250AK, was offered in 1989 for the Japanese domestic market, the AK had an indicator lamp built in the meters notifying when the rider was speeding. Starting frame number: VJ21A-118699. Colors: Red, Black, Charcoal Metallic (new color).

The 1990 year's VT250L was introduced in December 1989. Again, some modifications were made for the next model year. The most obvious difference is the new colors on the Suzuki and Wolf stickers.
