Suzuki RG500

The RG500 Gamma is Suzuki's square-four two-stroke, a road bike derived directly from the engine that won grand-prix championships. Its 56 mm bore and 50.6 mm stroke are aggressively oversquare — the short stroke is what lets a two-stroke rev to the figures this engine does without destroying the piston. The preset carries 7:1 geometric compression and high-rpm port timing. Because a two-stroke fires every revolution, the relationship between port timing, pipe length and rpm is tight: change one and the others must follow. The calculator makes that dependency explicit instead of leaving it to trial and error.

Preset parameters

Values below are the preset the calculator loads — you can change every one of them in the form. Angles are absolute crank angle (CA) on a 0–720° cycle.

Notes for modelling

  • Short stroke keeps piston speed manageable at the rpm this engine runs — compare mean piston speed against the RD350 preset.
  • Port width matters as much as height: too wide and the ring catches, which is a mechanical limit the model does not enforce for you.
  • Four cylinders, four pipes — size one in the exhaust calculator and multiply.
