Title: Help, what model airbox
Post by: Tossa on April 04, 2013, 11:07:32 am: chasing an air box for an 81 RM250X saw this on evil bay. Is it the 125 or 25o, will it fit which ever it is?

I have a spare 125X airbox and it looks the same as the one in the ebay ad (from memory) however without being able to compare them side by side, you would never know for sure. I would expect them to look similar but the 250 one would/should be larger overall? Certainly the inlet boot would be bigger.

If you want I could take some measurements or you could borrow my spare one?

Cheers
Craig

Post by: Tossa on April 04, 2013, 12:12:07 pm: I believe just the dimensions of the boot would be great, will give me an indication if the 125 box would fit my 250. That would be great
