I love the full floater suspension and much prefer the air cooled bikes of the era, to many niggling problems once the water pump goes.  I basically got given this one

From what I can remember, I think it was advertised as an earlier model and looked in average condition but complete except for engine etc.

I'll have another look tonight if I get the chance.

Post by: Tossa on April 01, 2013, 08:38:03 pm
so just brought the other bike home.  Now all i need is:

outside covers of the air box, or a complete airbox

left footpeg spring

rear brake line

would you believe both bikes have had the brake stay cut oof, so need one of those, otherwise other than plastics appears i might just have a bike complete

Brett once i've sorted what I want I can probably let you have first go at the bike left over should include, engine, frame, tank, seat, wheels (without axles or backing plates, forks and rear suspension.  Just have to wait while i get this one together

RM125X airbox assy is a different part number to RM250X, but RM465 is the same, havent checked RM500 but i would imagine they would also be the same if that helps at all.
Title: Re: wanted RM250X 1981 roller or blown
Post by: Tossa on April 04, 2013, 05:10:06 pm
thanks, I'm wondering if the reason for the differnt air box, is only due to the inlet size
