Accessories for the Suzuki RM 500

The Suzuki RM 500 is a motocross bike built for riding away from tarmac. On dirt, braking affects how you set up for a corner, approach a descent and deal with a change in grip. That makes brakes a useful place to focus when looking for accessories for this model: what matters on a motocross track is not necessarily what you would look for on a road bike.

What riders usually fit to the Suzuki RM 500

• Brakes: on a dirt track, controlling your speed before a bend gives you more room to choose a line and deal with loose ground. This page brings together brake accessories for the RM 500, including products from Braking. They are worth looking at if your riding regularly involves repeated braking, changing surfaces and corners that call for a measured input rather than a sudden grab.

Riding off-road places particular emphasis on when and how you slow down. A firm patch of ground can quickly give way to a looser section, so the feel at the controls matters when you are preparing to turn. On the RM 500, thinking about your usual riding conditions is a practical way to decide where to direct your attention. A short session on a circuit and a longer day on dirt may put different demands on your braking, even though both involve the same bike.

The accessories shown here relate to the Suzuki RM 500 for the years covered on this page, from 1985 to 1989. The selection is focused on brakes rather than general riding equipment, making it easier to look specifically at this part of the bike. Whether you are returning to an RM 500 after some time away or riding it often, braking is closely tied to how confidently you approach each section of track.
