Do you recognise this wheel.
« on: April 27, 2009, 05:06:59 pm »
It is Suzuki. 12mm axle. Probably an RM125 - I think the larger 250 and 400 had the same hub but 17mm axle.

Has it got magnesium cast into brake plate ????    Brake shoe size would be a dead set give away also

Okay we've id it from a 125; I need one suitable for a 15mm axle - probably from 250 or 400.

I'll swap or buy; complete or backing plate only. Any takers :) 8).

TM250 also use the same wheel as the RM125M/S/A . All use a 12mm axle as do near all the RM125/250/370/400's up to at least 1980 ;)

I've got a set of what I think are '80 RM400 forks -  38mm, 15mm axle. I have offered up this wheel and backing plate and it fits.

1980 RM400N forks are 38mm alright but they have a 12mm axle like all the other zoook 100-400 mx'ers of the era ;) 15mm axle is not suzuki. Kawasaki '83 KDX250 forks ran 14mm axle and these forks look near the same as the RM jobs but not sure if they're 36 or 38's :-\

So you reckon these are not RM Doc? No rubber mounted handlebars mounts!! Maybe Kawa, Yammy?

38mm 15mm axle.

I should say that I'm pretty sure that they originally had fork gaiters - the dust wipes are aftermarket.

They look very much like RM125t especially with the lug on the left fork for the brake cable holder and the front plate mounts on the triple clamps.

Did the T have 15mm axle? I don't think they have been modded.

The number plate mounting screw top and bottom is distinctive. I don't think any Yammy did it this way? Other suggestions?
