So for Easter today , i decided to stay home and get some work done around the house. Finished everything up early , got some beer and tore into my RM. I needed to yard the motor anyways to replace some tranny gaskets.
First time I've ever torn this bike down. I have about 22 - 25hrs on the motor since the last rebuild. I'm running 927 @ 40:1 with 1/2 and 1/2 race fuel and pump gas.
Never had a day where i thought the bike was running crappy. Always ran strong.
So after i pulled the motor i checked out the exhaust ports and couldn't believe how clean everything was. I don't remember ever seeing one of my old 2 strokes look this clean inside. Plug was a perfect light brown and i have no carbon build up at all...any where. I have a couple big boxes of goodies for my RM and doing a slight make over. Have a new top end too , but think I'll hold off on that for another 12 - 15hrs.

** sometime in the next few weeks I'll be ordering up a new set of wheels as well from KSR wheels. Going with Black rims , HD stainless spokes , gold hubs and gold nipples.
May be a couple weeks before I'm done , but she should look quite a bit different. Bring on the spring riding! Yeehaww!
The Shop
- it'll help the rear hook up / make it less busy in hard pack and chop
Pit Row
Anyone?
OH...and I do have a 10oz fly wheel weight on there!! It's perfect!
Not sure of any others, like some of the over seas pipes if they are being made for the RM s still. A few guys around here have scored some badass factory pipes that PC made for the RM's with titanium and cf I believe, there was some info in one of the RM threads in race related section recently.
I'm very happy w/ my PC and v-3 reeds. Like the one person said more of a mid to top pipe.
I wanted a little more bottom also when going from my RMZ and back to the RM. But then again it's a two stroke and I just had to get in the mindset it's not gonna have the low end torque like my other bike.
Old mxa cliche .. But going down a tooth or two on tighter tracks would do it. Plus using the gearbox and fanning the clutch.
Also needing to look for smoother/ inside or different lines is
Now the fun part that transfers right over when you hop on her " heavy sister " ....
And don't forget to add a OS front rotor (from RM-atv) like $120 galfer skw
Wait a minute... They're too reliable and not expensive to maintain and ride.... There lies the problem...
Beautiful Bike Jeffy... Good news, new stickers & black rims on the new RMZ's...
Just kidding... your exhaust and PV's look amazingly clean for running 927, I always had bad carbon build up in my CR's in the 90's from running that shtuff, but it smelled awesome mixed with C12!
Oh and its looking really good for a late June early July trip to Portland this summer, cant wait to ride Mountain View again!!
