Hi,
I know its not quite as old as some of the stuff you guys deal with but i hope it cant hurt by asking. I have just about hit the wall trying to find parts for this bike.
So if anyone can help me out it will be really appreciated.
Its a 1991 RM 250 but the top end from a 1992 is the same.
After afew things:-
Barrel with good bore and exhaust/power valve
Maybe the head
Lower Engine mounts
Rear disc brake rotor
Reply here or Message me if you can help.
I have 1993 KX 60 bits for trade or sell
Thanks.

G'day Brett, whilst you may have hit a brick wall here there are some alternatives for what is regarded as a not so vintage bike.. not yet at least ;) Serco should be able to do sleeves as well as others but check this US ebay page for some ideas on items and price comparisons. I'd reckon that's where 60-70% of enthusiasts do their shopping. Also being a relatively late model, brand new at the dealer is probably still an option as well and the good old phone around bike wreckers may also turn up something. Seek and ye shall find ;)

i have a complete bike with new engine to sell
soon not ready yet its the model with camo seat cover
not a bad bike ;D ;D
no parts though :'(
-
im pretty sure EBC or Goodridge will do a rear brake disc
-
I have checked the prices of sleeves and by the time i get piston rings etc and the power valve fixed im looking at around $800 plus.
Its abit more than i wanted to spend on the bike, its real shame cause the bike isnt in too bad shape besides the top end.
I have contacted alot of wreckers, i think i need to find some major ones.
I have been searching world wide ebay aswell. I picked the bike up pretty cheap and i think im just hoping for a cheaper fix.
It doesnt worry me if i get new parts or not aslong as they work
Thanks for the replies.
-
Wow, thanks Doc :)

Brett just keep in mind the aussie $ isn't travelling so well in the US and watch the shipping prices as you can be stung like that also. Unfortunately the model you have is kind of in between at present but that can advantageous with prices as the parts that are out there aren't overly collectable and you shouldn't have too much competition, this will all change in due time of course. I'm contemplating a late 80's or maybe even 90's RM250 project for this very reason ;)
-
Yeah around 67cents i think :(
I have contacted a guy from one of links you posted and are in talks for all the parts i need to get this bike humming.
This is bike number 6 for atm, so i pretty much have to get this one going and sell it according to the missus.
-
Deal didnt happen, still looking. That ebay motors is a great place for bits though.

Hey Brett.
If you haven't already, send an email to [email protected]
Or have a look here. http://www.onthepiperacing.com/garage-suzuki.php (http://www.onthepiperacing.com/garage-suzuki.php)
He's in the U.S. and I know the dollar is crap right now, but I've dealt with him before. Even when he didn't have what I needed, he's tried to find it for me. Good, clean parts and honest descriptions. I got a lot of my KX500 parts from him.
Good luck. ;D
-
Thanks Tony i'll give him a try.
-
Thanks mate, but thats the same site Tony listed. Im nearly thinking about selling the bike asis, maybe.
-
it won't be worth a great deal as is Brett but then the parts required are expensive also :-\ kind of like damned if you do and damned if you don't :-\ is it into you for a lot of $ already??
-
All i have done to it since i've gotten it is give it a good clean, grease afew things, bleed the brakes and weld a section of the frame and exhaust.
I have ordered some rear disc pads and some paint to touch up the frame. So probably spent around $50 at this point.
I'll say i'll keep searching for parts for abit.
BTW.... Thanks for all the replies, this is great forum with great bunch of blokes.
