RM125B incl spares.

Ted I think you are missing something and I genuinely don't care either way. Just because it is listed in a parts book is not enough. I would think you need to prove it was genuinely available to riders. Gunters bike most likely had pre-production parts on it supplied by Suzuki the same as Gall's Yamaha and several other top riders and if that is the case then it is not legal.

More importantly can anyone tell me what late model foot pegs fit an RM125B

[Ted]

I will take the info to MA head office, not to some track where as some under the pump official is getting hammered by anyone that has an opinion.

That's the point

[TM BILL]

No worries Ted send us your address

[Ted]

Greg, I am waiting for Suzuki to answer a request I put to them being

1 ... What was the MSRP for tha rm 125 b alloy arm

2 ....when did it go on sale

3 .....How many have been sold prior to 01 / 01 / 1978

Hey Ted!
I'm at the pub gettn pissed...
paint it black like the rolling stones did and for gods sake,
don't tell anyone on the net about it...

[Montynut]

Ted that sounds more like the details you need to support your case just using parts books are just not enough.

Monty , so by your way of thinking a works bike or part that wasn't available to the public is not allowed? I don't think that that is the case, the book goes by manufactured date .ie a works bike made in 77 it is eligible for pre 78 ..... but who knows its a dogs breakfast.

[Slakewell]

Common sense should come here and one would think that there is no real huge advantage over standard.

[JohnnyO]

Whats the point? A friend of mine was told at the broadford Nats that his genuine FMF alloy arm on his RM125 was illegal and was made  to drive back home for a magazine ad for proof.

Seems like every official has a different take on the rules. I rode the '09 Conondale Nats and the '12 Wyaralong Nats with a DG arm on my RM250B without a word said and the bike was checked over pretty closely at both..

[Ted]

Agreed. I am not doing it to create an advantage. You would have to fit it with a V8 to give me an advantage

I am doing it because the bike came fitted with it. It is a perfectly correct period part manufactured by Suzuki that was manufactured in 1976 as we are all witnessing.

Oh no not the works bike and parts discussion again read the MOMS.

Ted, who at SUZUKI is going to help, oldest employee started in 1984,
SAPL 1982,
Cornell's before that,
Hazell & Moore before that,
Mayfairs and Mortlocks are long gone,
Russell Burling in NZ might have access to Coleman's records,
Alan Craig from Boolaroo might have records as he purchased H&M in Newcastle, I will ask,
John Owens Suzuki Belmont had two different arms and I got them both twenty five years ago
Niether are the same as the B kit or the C more like 75 RH250 and came off a RM250A and 370 B
I hunted a supossedly ex Gunter 370 B fitted with Foxshox and an alloy arm from Tamworth in 1988 but that is a Thor arm.

You would contact either Peter Jones; was Suzuki Aust Service Manager in the 70's, now at Yamaha Aust or Colin Iskov ex Suzuki Spare Parts Manager in the 70's, also now at Yamaha Aust (in NSW).  Tell'em John Orchard sent you  ;-)

In the 70's the Suzuki & Yamaha importers was owned by Alec Milledge, hence the Yamaha Aust link, I was Service Manager for Alec's Daughter (Libby) when he backed her to import Moto Guzzi & Benelli about 10 years ago.

I was also second in charge, to Colin Iskov, at Yamaha Aust Spare Parts Dept in the 80's, hence my knowledge of the situation.

I live a few doors up from Peter of Peter Stevens ,talk to him now and then but I wouldn't bother him or anyone of those already mentioned with any of this BS just for the sake of proving a point to a few numbskulls that weren't around or don't remember the past.
