Suzuki / Re: RM/ RMX differences?
« on: May 18, 2015, 07:27:48 pm »
I checked up on the part #s as it was a while ago, back in the day the rmx cylinder was different to the rm but Suzuki changed the part number later and superseded the old rm/rmx part #s.
I don't know what porting the current cylinder has but mine it a bit peaky for a rmx.

89 rm/ rmx have the same top end apart from the head gasket, I found this out when I ordered a new cylinder.

Suzuki / Re: RM250 1989 and 1990 differences

The 89 and 90 RMX was very close to the 89 RM250 and the 91 to 96 shared a lot of parts as well. The 89 RMX main differences to the 89 RM were bigger tank, big boat anchor silencer, lighting coil/ flywheel, longer swing arm, rear guard, side stand, head light and wr gearbox. Parts are easy to find as the US RMX never really got updated unlike our model after 96.

Different forks, two peice clutch cover on 90 model, different water pump set up and crank. Also I think the frame might be different under the tank where the rad hose goes through the frame but I'm not %100 on that one.

Looks like a 90 model, the forks and clutch cover are wrong for an 89.

Sounds like a no then, fair enough I didn't want to create a stink rocking up on my "modern" 23yo bike.
No worries.

My 89 RMX has similar forks (41mm USD KYBs) but mine are the full cartridge model. From what I'm told the problem with them is due to the design causing stiction making them feel harsh early in the stroke, mine are a little harsh but it's not excessive,  maybe cause I'm running .46 springs with bugger all preload?
46mm conventionals would be the go but they under hang the front axel big time, not good if you trail ride.

Im going to get it serviced and see how it goes it will proberly want new seals after 22 years!
My existing spring rate is auctualy 5.6kg and it gives me the correct amount of sag so if you have a spring to suit I'd be interested. My shock looks like the S46PRC that Ohlins still sell it has a steel body, piggy back res and rebound and comp adjusters if that helps oh and the springs about 57mm id and 290mm long (4.9kg).

Well I got it, and apart from the preload adjusters looking like a gorilla tightened them up with a jackhammer it's in good shape. Only problem is my 5.7kg spring from the KYB is too wide to fit the Ohlins (it has a 4.9kg) so I'm up for a new spring. Are there any other supplyers that make springs to suit Ohlins shocks? I haven't tryed Ohlins yet but I guessing their expensive.

My RMX is a 89 model and the shocks off a 90 RM250 should be a straight swap,  if I get the Ohlins I'd be very interested but I only had my std shock rebuilt about 10hrs ago so unless I can get the Ohlins for the right price it proberly won't happen.
