Late 90's RM service manual calls for compressed air.

Lye bath or spray oven cleaner removes anodize. The top clamp has a cast finish and the lower clamp is more polished, thats how they came. Look into marine vinyl and get some samples sent. I found the 90's match for purple a while back. The shop in Vietnam ... more »

Also, you can test the jet block for leaks theres a video on yt. If the needle jet (brass tube the needle is in) has wear it will let unmetered fuel into the engine. You can only replace it with a STIC or new carb. The tiniest wear will cause problems. ... more »

Warm up the bike the shut the fuel off and test a couple times. Can also pull the choke a bit to see if its getting too much or too little fuel.

Nice saving that 95! I did blue/flo on one of my 2000's a while back, great combo

Id love to add a pink 90s TM to my stable

I liked Gold Valves in those forks for woods.

The 04/05 250f stuff is total wrong geometry for the 2 strokes. The links are way too long. I know for a fact the 250f stuff will not work in 250 smokers. It may bolt up to 125s but wont work properly.

Nope. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22kpa041255%22&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&source=android-home&sxsrf=APq-WBtqYFd4wsgGeJM0TAew6XIBcGSLtg%3A1650670211905&source=hp&ei=gzpjYvCuM5-Ixc8P_vSJqAg&oq=%22kpa041255%22&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBADOgcIIxDqAhAnOgQIIxAnOgUIABCxAzoLCC4QgAQQsQMQgwE6DgguEIAEELEDEMcBENEDOggILhCABBCxAzoFCAAQgAQ6CwgAEIAEELEDEIMBOgsILhCABBDHARCjAjoLCC4QgAQQxwEQrwE6BQguEIAEOggILhCABBDUAjoGCAAQChAeOgQIABAeOgYIABAFEB5Qug5YuGZgmm1oAnAAeACAAf8BiAHbEpIBBjAuMTMuMZgBAKABAbABDw&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp ... more »

Saying its a good chassis but unstable makes no sense. They are plenty stable, Ive ridden those bikes 125/250s. Your sag and or fork height must be way out. Also, that linkage looks like a early kx/rm 250f. Which is why you got it cheap. Wont work on ... more »

I'm not sure why the 94s get singled out for pipes. I have a 95 PC Works on my 94 now.

You should have a suspension shop look at your setup. RMs are known for their great chassis, no need to add that damper.

I built a 94 KX250 supermoto, Id be interested.

I used conduit mounts on the edge of my bench. Id clip the forks into them to hold vertically for assembly.

Lots of info in the Thumpertalk suspension forum. Installing a set of Gold Valves will give you a basic idea on tuning. The tools, while not expensive for one bike, will be expensive for multiple bikes/brands. You're going to need seal/bushing installers, ... more »

Run it.

How bad are the cases you dont want to have it repaired? It's not rocket science, people been doing it for years.
