Would this be.....
« on: November 08, 2010, 07:19:06 am »
.......an '89 model RM?
I don't know a lot about them but it looks like a later model to me and the muffler looks a bit RMXsy. Anyone have a better idea?

Yep it sure is.  I had one of them for a little while.  Looks like they've fitted later model side panels and fork protectors.

Can't tell you 100% about the muffler (mine had an Answer muffler on it), but it doesn't look standard to me.  If you were restoring it, you'd probably opt for a nice FMF or Pro Circuit system anyway.

My tip?  Check the subframe for cracks... mine broke where the muffler bolts on during a race, causing the muffler to fall into the wheel and destroy 1/2 of the spokes!  ;D
