RM80N/T and DS80 motor?
« on: May 29, 2015, 09:40:01 pm »
Talking twin shock DS here:

Will the DS motor bolt into the RM frame?
Will the RM intake and exhaust bolt up to the DS motor?
Is the DS gearbox wider ratio?
Anything else?

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Nathan, I did just that in reverse recently, well, sort of !! Early twin shock RM 80 motor into a mono DS 80 roller, everything bolted right up, RM intake manifold is larger.

RM 80 NT

1- 36/14
2 - 34/18
3 - 30/20
4 - 25/20
5 - 26/24
6 - 25/26
Final reduction - ratio 3.425:1 - 14/50

Cylmer DS manual does not have DS gear ratios so will have to look them up on Alpha_Sports


78 DS80C

1 - 36/?
2 - 32/19
3 - 29/22
4 - 26/24
5 - 24/26

Final - 14/?

Thats all i could come up with looking at parts book.  Not sure if these are exact years you are comparing but there is gearbox difference between 78 and 80. 5 v 6 speed.
