OVERVIEW
AG-MODEL
Designed in Australia for Australia, the Stockman 250 is a real world performer
that was born and bred for Australia's uniquiely harsh conditions out on the
land. Featuring 50cm³ more engine capacity than any other ag-bike on the
market and tougher-than-leather build quality and reliability, the Stockman 250
is a thoroughbred workhorse which will keep working hard, long after the cows
have come home and left again.
The Stockman 250 features a number of pure AG features including the robust
engine guards, dual side stands, front and rear racks, clutch lever lock, knobby
tires, aluminium hand guards and a locking fuel cap on the narrow 9.0 litre steel
fuel tank.

KEY FEATURES
249 cm3 AIR-COOLED DOHC 4-STROKE ENGINE
The Stockman 250 retains its compact air-cooled 4-stroke Single engine, based on the
Super Sherpa the engine also shares the 6-speed transmission.
Mikuni BTS34 Carburettor
* The constant velocity Mikuni carburettor assures a sharp throttle
response and great fuel economy.
* The handlebar mounted choke's convient location makes warming-up and
starting easier.
Transmission
* The 6-speed features gear ratios chosen for low first gear and for a
relaxed cruising speed.
* The folding tip on the gear lever folds rearwards if it hits a rock or tree to
avoid damage to the gear lever or gear change shaft.
* The O-Ring drive chain seals in the lubrication and the dirt and debris
out for longer chain life. Steel sprockets work with the O-ring chain for
longer lasting drive system

KEY FEATURES
Exhaust system
* The Stockman 250 features a highly durable stainless steel exhaust pipe and
stainless steel muffler.
Engine features
* With a bore and stroke of 72 x 61.2 mm, the power unit displaces 249 cm3. The
engine is mounted low in the frame, contributing to a low centre of gravity.
* Flat-top piston and pentroof combustion chamber delivers a modest 9.3:1
compression ratio.
* 4-valve DOHC cylinder head provides maximum valve area for optimum flow. Low
reciprocating weight (thanks to the use of a cam lobe for each valve, with shim-under
tappet arrangement) contributes to higher efficiency at high rpm.
* The Stockman 250 engine features an electrofusion cylinder. The ultra-hard coating in
the aluminium cylinder bore offers superior heat transfer with light weight. It also
contributes to engine reliability: the coating holds lubrication well, resists abrasion and
seizure, and allows a tight piston-cylinder clearance for increased horsepower.
* A gear-driven engine balancer ensures smooth power delivery from idle to redline.
On long rides this means greater rider comfort and less fatigue.
* With an electric starter and Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR),
which automatically lifts an exhaust valve at cranking rpm, starting the Stockman
250 is a breeze.
* Precise control of ignition timing by the digital CDI contributes to easy starts and
reliability under extreme conditions.
* Rust-resistant fasteners contribute to engine quality.

KEY FEATURES
AG CHASSIS
Frame and chassis components based on those of the Super Sherpa model the source
of the Stockman 250’s high-level of off-road capability.
Frame and swingarm
* The Stockman 250’s tubular-section hightensile steel, semi-double cradle frame
creates a slim, lightweight package. The
28o caster angle and short wheelbase
contribute to quick handling, while the
steering geometry ensures excellent
straight-line stability. (Photo 2)

* The box-section aluminium swingarm
contributes to reduced unsprung weight.
(Photo 3)
* The cam-type chain adjusters allow easy
adjustment of chain slack, helping to
minimise drivetrain power transfer loss.
Upper guard and lower chain guide helps
protect the chain and keep it on on the
sprocket(Photo 4)
