Another RM build Update

Yellow wheels on RMs has always looked darn good. Nice bike.

Very nice!

Hello guys. I this dudes brother. Helping him out, doing the engine build and misc fabrication issues getting shit to fit that isn't supposed to fit. I have another build thread of my own over on performancetrucks dot net. Here some pics of the engine build.

Here are some in progress engine pics.

Fully REM polished trans pieces and then Microblue’d



Cases with the new Microblue bearings





Quick homemade jig to confirm crank true after the balance job







Some of the bottom end pieces cleaned for final assembly laid out





Crankshaft installation





More pics of case halves, crank/rod and trans components ready to slam the cases together

More random shit:

New Shifter pawls



Another random REM/Microblue treated trans pic



Case halves getting ready to go together



Case halves together, more progress pics















The only billet linkage we could find was for the newer 4 stroke Suzuki’s. Unfortunately, the new bikes use an M6 threaded stud and this master uses an M8 threaded stud. No big deal. Drilled it out and tapped it. If you pay attention to the first few pics, you can see my method to center the clevis in the drill press for a precision job.

Made in the USA bitch……BOOM!



Secret squirrel shit red stuff



What can I say, the owner likes close ups

I'll keep this thread updated with my stuff along with what the OP is posting.

CLEAN work. Love to see the details.

You changing wheels ?

Chain adjust blocks... what brand? What year?

The bike looks great....

Thanks

I've got 2 different cylinder heads for this thing, so I'll be doing a little bit of tech stuff tomorrow to decide which one we are gonna run so first order of business is getting everything cc'd to see where we are gonna be compression ratio wise then I'll get a clay print of the quinch band as they were both cut by different 2 stroke porters.

After doing the blueprint work on the compression ratio all that will left is assembling the top end and putting the carb/reed cage on it. The rest of the bike is pretty much ready to go, so it won't be long till we can twist it and see how nasty it's gonna be.

After all the crazy attention to detail on this bike (basically you could call it a complete blueprint build) I'm am very anxious to see how well we did. I have a feeling it'll have the potential to hurt some feeling out on the track.

While this was a close to "no budget" build, I'm really ready to do another that is truly an open check book build whether it is a 2 stroke or 4 stroke.

I'd be nice to be able to secure some sponsorship for a privateer build and see if we could compete with the big boys. .

What do you guys think?

Also, if anyone is interested I can do some over the top "pit bike" builds as well.

Stay tuned for mine, it's gonna be a riot.

Best RM on here imho.

Those are Tusk axle blocks. I have the same ones check out RMATVMC

That truly means a lot man. Thanks. Let me or the OP know if you need anything.

Got some new found issues with the top end to line out. Looks like it could hold us back hopefully less than a week. Here is a little mock up the owner hasn't posted yet.

wow!! congrats awesome job and bike!

Latest mock-up looking absolutely killer.
Few quick questions;
1) What did you use to clean the engine cases
2) What are the colors and type of coatings on the clutch side cover and rear master cylinder?

New level.............

How much aluminum gas tank run you?

Looks badass man.

Some seriously nice bits going into this build.
Love how clean you got that engine.

Here is my 07 RC theme bike.
Not in the same league as yours from a detail perspective

This thing looks really bad ass! Great job guys.

Are you going to get some frame guards? I used grip tape too, just doesn't last.

Hoping for some carbon ones at some point.
