OK, so the rm250b and pe250b engine are essentially the same. I was curious because the suzuki part numbers for the lh crank are different on each model, perhaps there is a small difference somewhere? I believe the magneto covers are the same. So the pe250 magneto and magneto flywheel should bolt right on to my rm250b, sounds easy enough.
Unfortunately, I do not have spare motors and such laying around, the local junkyard here is full of snowmachines, quads and various other metal scrap. My rm250 was the most complete bike in the pile, complete frame, motor, exhaust, swingarm, airbox and filter. no shocks,no tank,no bars, no wheels carb or electrics. Amazingly the motor had never been apart and the cylinder is within factory specs as original.
I live in a really remote place, our supplies are flown in and we have an annual ship supply. I was lucky and found a donor for parts and had all the necessary big bits shipped up on the boat. collected most of everything else i need from ebay, with a few mistakes here and there getting ready to split cases, replace bearings, seals, piston and rings. Original piston was stuck in the cylinder but was eased out after a week soaking in diesel.
I noticed a PE250 motor in classifeds here for $150 wonder how much it would cost to ship up here.
Thanks for the advice
Silas
