Here comes a rebuild on my old 250.
Unfortunately I do not have a lot of "before" pics.
I tore it apart to bits and pieces, simply because the crankshaft went out, and since I had it in boxes I figured, why not polish it up a little before putting it back together?
Parts list:
KYB SSS 48mm forks
X-trig clamps with PHDS
2016 RMZ KYB rear shock ( I hereby salute you Vital user Dizzzi2003)
Renthal Twinwall Bars
Renthal Kevlar grips
270mm Galfer front brake
2016 RMZ MC and Caliper
TiPegs
Polisport Restyled plastics
A bit of carbon fiber goodies
So here it goes, I just closed up the motor yesterday:
and got some bits and pieces delivered:

Definitely following this build. Those CF pieces look amazing
It won't be one of the ultra-polished builds, as unfortunately I cannot afford to spend long hours working the scotch brite and wd40 into all the bits. The weather is simply too good to let it sit in the boxes for too long, and I need to get the 250 back together before I blow up the 125 that I built for my lady to ride on
I did put the forks on a 125 to test fit and try out what they feel like, and other than being a bit too stiff, they work awesome.
And ofcourse the forks!

Motor looks good!
As far as RM goes, I got every single bolt and axle from this bike zinc plated, bars re anodized (they were orange) and I am slowly putting it back together. Next stop, linkage bearings.
You will need to grind the bottom part (where it rests on the frame) a bit, other than that they fit perfect.
I should have sent the Xtrigs for anodising, guess it's a little too late now
Don't mind the mess, there's a reason half the time I spend in the garage is looking for my tools.

Here is how she sits now.
This is NOT finished, as I will be using the restyle plastics, but I am waiting for the graphics kit.
The wheels were also not ready yet, so I took those off a 125, and put them on a 250 just so that I can spin some laps on it this weekend.
Scored a PC pipe a couple of days back, and that's what I'll be using, but it's still in US, so it's gonna take a while to get it down here.
Temporary look:
This thing is now faster than ever, and as snappy as they come, especially after spending a couple of last months on a 125.
As a matter of fact it was so snappy, that it no longer has a rear fender or silencer, so I need to get back to work on this bike, straighten the silencer, weld the silencer bracket back to the subframe and replace the broken plastics.
Of course it happened on lap one.
I felt like crying when I was laying on the track and saw the bike cart wheeling into the sunset.
From what bike you take the clamps?
