RMX

[wmc83]

My new project for the next few months hopefully ready for next years riding season a pre90 RMX250 or is that a RMX RMX250 anyway not touching that subject with a 60 foot pole! Anyway this is going to replace my WR450 as a trailrider with a view to racing pre90    I'm more into early 80s bikes but I'm not to keen on going bush with drum brakes etc and these things are alot easyer to get parts for so anyway here it is.


Looks better than it is (as is often the case) cases both damaged, crank stuffed, top end rooted and past the sleaves last oversize and generally rebuilt by someone who shouldn't.



Off to the powdercoater tommrow hopfully I can get a close match for Suzuki blue



This blew the budget a bit but I'm not interested in pushing it home from a bush ride!

I don't know why anyone would bother making there own footpegs but hats off to this guy! I just stared in disbelief when I picked up this parts bike unable to form the word WHY?



And aparently bat shit did this      Bats with acid for blood!



Sorry for the shit photo quality I'll use the camera next time.

cool I am putting a disc ts250x front end on my pe400 project bike that I will use as a bush bike so I can stop.

bugger the forks being a bit ratty and foot pegs why bother if you are downgrading on stock.

Do yourself a massive favour and get a PWK 36/38 carby. The PJ's are shit compared to it. Watch for the woodruff key shearing off and get a VForce for it. Up the compression and you will wonder why you ever bothered with a 450F. If you want to be really smart find some post 03 RM 250 suspension.

Often wondered just how good one would be if you threw away the shitter 250F engine from a RMZ and chucked a tuned RMX in the frame. Like this

Hey Lozza will a later model shock work in my bike without revalving etc I was just going to service the old one any get a spring rate to suit my weight and yes I got a PWK 38 off a 99 cr250 so I'll be looking for jeting advice later!

Bat shit is more acidy than you would ever believe.

cheers dale.

[frostype400]

Hey don't start me on those  c**ts, in the space of a hour or so their shit ate through the duco on my car on a hot day. Flying rats they are.


Realy any 250 shock is going to be close, apparently after 03 japper OEM stuff got pretty good. Just measure your eye to eye lenght/eye to yoke , spring diameter and if you need a remote reservior or can handle an attached one. You will be pretty close.

I'm going to move this on to the new classic dirtbike forum and see how it goes

If you have installed after market flange nuts, make sure they have flat faces .......otherwise they will work there way loose        Cylinder and head

hats a cr500 motor in that rmz lozza

I was thinking that myself but was too scared to say something in case I was wrong. Whatever engine's in the bloody thing, it looks like a badly decorated Christmas tree.

I know that's why the put all the aftermarket ignition and clutch covers on it.

Been able to give things a serious nudge over crissy holidays and it's all coming together nicely IMHO you wouldn't think it was 22 years old to look at it.






These disk brake wheels are piss easy to build compared to drums no redrilling rims and spokes all the same length Too easy total cost under $400
