DF225
Suzuki’s DF225 gives you the performance and confidence to run for the horizon and never look back. The DF225 V-6 four-stroke outboard is packed with technology. This four-stroke engine has large displacement, lots of torque and plenty of power. This four stroke engine is a clean runner and certified with a 3-Star Ultra-Low Emission rating from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and has also met the EPA 2010 standard. So if you want to run with a proven winner, go four-stroke. Go Suzuki.
POWER IN AN INSTANT
With our 3.6-liter displacement computer controlled electronic fuel injection and powerful 2.29:1 final drive gear ratio, the DF225 delivers maximum torque across the powerband. You’ll always have plenty of power the moment you ask for it. And our high-output 54A alternator provides plenty of electrical power for electronics.
TECHNOLOGY FOR PERFORMANCE
If you’re interested in technology that really performs, remove the cowl. You’ll find a DOHC powerhead with 4-valves-per-cylinder, a powerful 32-bit onboard computer monitoring a network of sensors, sequential multi-point electronic fuel injection, multi-stage induction and a fully transistorized direct ignition system. If you still need proof, turn the key and open the throttle.
SLIM AND COMPACT DESIGN
Our exclusive 55-degree V block and proven offset driveshaft give Suzuki’s V6 4-strokes a narrow, compact design that is the perfect fit for a wide range of today’s most popular boats. This design moves the center of gravity forward for better balance and less vibration.

Have you recently purchased or looking to purchase a new Suzuki motorcycle, ATV or Outboard? If so, Suzuki is a great choice. The quality, performance and durability of the products we offer are second to none. While Suzuki’s production techniques and materials, as well as its standard warranties, are the best, today’s motorcycles and ATVs have become increasingly complex. In addition, parts and repair costs have accelerated as quickly as the technology itself. While mechanical failures are rare in today’s Suzuki models, you can protect yourself from potentially high costs for years after your standard warranty runs out by investing in an extended protection plan.
The Suzuki Protection Plan (SPP) can be added at any time during the Suzuki’s Limited Warranty period, so don’t wait! You can purchase an SPP from any authorized Suzuki dealer in Canada. If purchased at the time of sale, the SPP works in conjunction to your Suzuki Limited Warranty (giving you additional benefits), and will continue to provide you top-quality protection for years to come after the Limited Suzuki Warranty period had ended. Along with providing complete peace of mind, the SPP is economical, dependable and hassle-free. Should you experience an issue while covered by the plan, you can visit any authorized Suzuki dealer in Canada and the U.S. for prompt resolution and professional service.
Pricing and details are currently being developed and should be available shortly. Should you have any questions or wish to obtain further details, please visit your local Suzuki Dealer for assistance.
See you on the open road,
