4/1/2018 7:52am Oh.. Memories.. They were popular in the Swedish enduros in the early eighties. Briliant design, when the going got slow and it was tricky section and they started to fog just flip them up. And when the speed picked up, flip em down..

6/17/2013 5:19am Well, RT use short springs as they explain on their website, you have to make spacers for the correct preload: "Many of our customers have questioned us on why our fork springs are so short, particularly on vintage applications. Here's the long (or short) answer. In the past the material that manufacturers used to make springs was pretty poor. This...

6/4/2012 2:17pm I just picked up a RM 465 today. My brother donated it for free. Back in '82 we bought two RM 465's late in season for very good price, i think we paid $2000. And we got the standard shock replaced with Öhlins for that price so it was a pretty good deal back then. We raced them until '86...

6/4/2012 2:17pm Ahh, lots of questions ;-)
I haven't seen the "works" rear fender anywhere else than on the works bikes.
I know Jan Geobers in Belgium have them, would be nice to have one but not essential.
I think i'll just stick to make everything working as it should first before make any ímprovments.
Maybe a Race tech emulator in the...

5/31/2012 11:58pm It's like Nascar. " Oh! They are making a left turn!" 
About the PE sidepanels. I found a guy who fitted them to his Rm 465, he said he only had to do a bracket, can't remember witch side but other that that they fitted perfectly. And Marc at Fullfloater.com said the same, they fit. 
But the stickers...

To this.. 
And ended up with this.. 
And while i was at it, why not do the same...

1/25/2012 11:06pm Hi all of you Suzuki experts. Will a modern DB silencer fit a stock RM465 pipe? And will a DL front brake backing plate from example a RM500 or RM250 fit the stock front fork/wheel? Thanks.

1/13/2012 7:13am Hi. Would the 1982 PE 175 sidepanels fit the RM:s 1981-1982 ?
The shape of the numberplate is little more square on the PE:s sidepanels and look like RM factory panels of that time.

11/2/2011 6:52am That is a nice bike CamP :-)
Since there is a number of RM vintage bikes on the go here wouldn't it be a good idea to have a " RM Tips and tricks" thread?
At least i would need some tips and tricks ;-)
Anyway i found a DLS front brake plate on ebay that i would like to...

8/19/2011 8:37am Funny, i can't remember that the RM 465 had an erractic behaivor when i raced it back in the days. I had/have a 82 model, maybe the 81 are more troublesome. I got a couple of tips from another forum: "look at the expansion pipe about half way along the pipe under the tank and if you look closely you...

8/10/2011 3:48am New piston & ring, NOS. Not too much carbon buildup. Reeds look fine. A little blowby. The head. Couldn't feel any edge where the piston turns.

7/31/2011 5:55am The tank cushins were all rotten and also the outher filter in the airbox. I peeked in the cylinder when i took off the exhaust and the piston seems to be in great shape, there was a thin oil film covering the piston, amazing after 23 years.
