hey doc those kickstarters sound good, more specific details pleaze. ive been looking for a decent kickstarter for my 250 PE but dont know if its same as RM 400.

It looks like the RM125D air box was unique to that model and slightly larger than the 81 and 82 models....althought they will work as they are all physically the same external dimension...just that the 83 is larger internally...So any leads on an 83 airbox appreciated.

Hey Leith - the PE250/400 T/X shared the thick-spline kick-starter p/n with the RM250/400 N/T.
the thin-spline kicker on earlier ones was compatible with a bazillion old RM's, TS's etc.

Gotta say many thanks to oldfart for retrieving the bike and loading it up with a disorganised courier!!!!

Many thanks for all your help!!

Yep thanks.....spotted it last night and sent the seller an email.

He replied this morning saying he is happy to fill a standard shipping box with 1983 parts for me for a total of $37 shipping!!!   

Yeh I need that 83 airbox!!!!.....and few other bits....he has more to list..

Sorry greg no airbox in the 'dodgee'  stuff sent down from QLD.If your stuck tis very easy to make one from fibreglass using lost foam method.

[gerpster]

No worries Lozza...gotta get that one on ebay...just hope it does not go for silly money!!   

[gerpster]

Ok cool..I got the 83 airbox ($21 USD)          and also the radiator shrouds ($1 USD but they need work)..missed out on someother bits. The Brissy RM125D arrives tomorrow.     

[gerpster]

RM125 arrived this arvo. Most of it came apart in under an hour as it was mostly held together with wire, self tapping screws and zip ties!!!!!   
The front end can't be from a 125...has 45mmm forks (i think.... they are huge!!!) and must be off a Rm400 or something!!!! They are much bigger than my Pe250 forks!!!! Any guesses??..photo below...
Frame and engine look OK but hoepefully the other RM125 form Melbourne will give me a bit more to work with!!!     

[gerpster]

And some of the bits that came off...I will need a rear guard (for a start) if anyone has one for sale??   

[suzuki27]

I left a reply on the original photo-they are RM250D,43mm,twin leading shoe forks.1983 was the only year they came yellow from the factory and the 125  was single leading shoe.They should work well,as long as they are mounted properly,in respect to the steering stem etc.They will be heavier in their springs etc,but you can overcome this with lighter springs etc-if you are over about 85kg's don't bother,just try them as is;don't forget you will need to stiffen the back up to get it better balanced front to back!

If you want to sell/swap those cases let me know as we have a full reed barrel here we want to use.Could convert the power reed but to much drama.
