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.
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.
Anyone in eastern Europe that needs the KX frame paint I found RAL6018 in a brand from Turkey and another from Russia.
