RM125A piston
« on: January 04, 2008, 07:52:24 pm »
Can anyone out there in Sushi land tell me who can supply pistons or what the alternatives are for RM125A. I need a 1.5mm OS (57.5mm).
Cheers,
K

Trailbikes of the same era might have more oversizes and may be the same shape. I did this on a TM125. I used something like a tc? 125.

Tried Serco and the TC/TS thing, don't fit. They list RM125B onwards but no A model. Tried Pro-X,not listed either, tried a CR125 Elsinore piston, very close but different pin size. Someone who is into Suuki's must know the secret.

RM's were one of the first to go to the superior 54 X 54mm bore and stroke, to be a 56 X 50mm bore/stroke you probably have a 14mm pin. ProX has TS125 piston up to 58.50 in 0.25mm step and KE 125's have similar the TS has higher compression height and dome.

try BB importers/bikes and bits importers in WA they can fax you a diagram for you to fill in dimensions and they will try match it up to a piston from their huge stock. i dont have their phone number right now but i could find it for you. they used to advertise in VMX magazine.
Wanted - 1978 TS185 frame or frame&motor. Frame # TS1852-24007 up to TS1852-39022

RM 125A pistons were a one off 56mm std & 16mm gudgeon pin  >:( there are usually loads on ebay because they only fit the RM 125 A  :o

YZ's being reed induction probably have a window or a large cut away in the rear skirt.If it has a 16mm pin and you can't find a piston the you can always  swap the rod for one with a 14mm pin.
