Title: Another stray dog finds a new home
Post by: oldfart on December 30, 2010, 12:37:20 pm

Bit rough around the edges but she has plenty of potential 8)  It's rm 250 1977  which will end up being my pre 78 ride.
As you can see it's missing a air box so if anyone can put me onto one it would be much appreciated . Vintage Suzuki have reproductions but have been advise I  need mounting hardware along with a cage .
Not too sure if it has correct tank as filler is centre and i thought they where a tad off centre ( to RHS )

The A had the centre hole in tank from memory ,but the rest looks like a  B .
The engine on the B is much better I reckon.

David , almost  ;D  taken from rear deck. And just for you a ground level shot  ;D
Pulled the barrel of and it's had a fresh rebore .05 of which still has hone marks.
It's pulled a head stud at  and blown a head gasket  which probably saved it's life
 it appears a low hour motor with unmolested case screws  :)

split the cases today and discovered a chipped teeth and badly worn dogs  .. all is not lost Oldie  should have something lying around that will fit.
Problem being is I have too much.  ::)   
Ah here we go a Rm 250 T gear set drops straight in and using the B  shift forks & drum  it works a treat  .... Primary drive  has same amount of teeth .

Stripped the  frame down and found a bit of rust under foot peg RHs  , rest of frame was pretty solid 
Drilled a series of 1/8 holes until I found solid metal .
