How to Tell a Genuine Suzuki Rim
« on: April 29, 2016, 03:16:13 pm »
Hello All,

Are there any markings/numbers etc on the rims fitted to a 1981 Suzuki RM250 to tell firstly if there genuine Suzuki items, and secondly if there for the correct year model of the bike?

Thanks

found it - someone had put the valve stem through the rim lock hole.....the marking was next to the rim lock in the valve stem hole ??? Anyway I have two original rims, in much need to clean and resto but original.
