New tear drop tank to replace the earlier T20 style one, revised front forks, individual instruments, upswept chain guard, new seat with metal strip. One other difference, unique to the T250-II (Mk3 in its home land), is the cranked kick start lever. This was changed to provide the necessary clearance for high pipe models (read further).

A Scrambler version of the T250 was also relesed in 1970 with higher-drawn exhaust pipes. Notice that there were some variations of the appearance of the T250 (all models) between bikes sold on different markets.

Suzuki's new automatic lubrication system CCI was designed to cut down smoke emissions at slow speed by recycling the two-stroke oil in the system.
