MXVet261 Added a reply to Tiger stripe "Safari" CEET covers
1/5/2014 11:32am Thank you. I found an NOS Works Connection glide plate on Ebay for the '91 RM. For frame paint I used Dupli-color Engine Enamel Daytona Yellow. BTW I had a '92 also and restored both the '91 and '92 together. I sold the '92 but honestly they are better bikes so be glad you have that year. I kept the...

MXVet261 Added a reply to rm250 Loose Spokes
1/1/2014 6:50pm I have never had good luck getting them to break loose, maybe 20% of the time. Honestly, spoke sets are so cheap now (like Moose racing sets for $49 retail) I don't even try anymore. I just snip out the stuck ones and replace.

1/1/2014 3:19pm Funny - about a month ago I ran across a NOS CEET striped cover on Ebay for 89-92 RM125 and I tossed it on my '91 RM125 for the heck of it.

1/1/2014 3:13pm PowerSeal USA just did an RM125 cylinder for me for a bike I restored. It came back looking better than new and I think total time including shipping was less than two weeks.

12/14/2013 9:42am Love the Suzuki bend bars. If you go to the Renthal spec page you can match them up to other brands if you choose. You will also notice they were the same bar that came on the KTM's for several years. http://www.renthal.com/shop/mx-products/handlebars/fatbar
MXVet261 Added a reply to Will an RM 250 air filter cage fit an RMZ 450?
12/13/2013 7:03am Yes the filters are the same and the cages swap. I have been running an RM125/250 cage on my 2011 RMZ450 for two seasons with no issue.

11/5/2013 3:45pm Everyone drools at the pics online, but it's tough to get good money back on the 2 stroke builds. I sold this 2006 as you see it for $2500.

5/30/2013 11:09am I raced the Tomahawk LLQ this year and lined up next to him in a support class. Really nice guy, I went and got one of his autographed posters afterwards. He was there hanging out with the Alex Frye family, who are super nice and Alex is super fast and already riding for KTM.

MXVet261 Added a reply to What's the farthest you've ever driven for a race?
5/9/2013 7:28am Driven from Cleveland, Ohio to FLA several times for races, but that's during the winter up here so it's also like a nice warm vacation. My truck and trailer have driven from Cleveland, Ohio to Mammoth Lakes, CA for Mammoth 2004, but I paid someone to drive it out there and pick me up at the airport!

2/13/2013 4:02pm Welcome to three months ago.
Also in case you missed it, Millsaps is leading the Supercross points 2013 and the new CRF450s have dual exhaust.
MXVet261 Added a reply to ''suzuki ''never won in san diego?
2/10/2013 5:51pm So what brand of bike should they put into the race stats? What if Short wins a race, are they allowed to say he rode a Honda. DUH.
If you look at Suzuki's website they list 3 Suzuki race teams:
Yoshimura Suzuki Racing
RCH Racing
Rockstar Energy Racing
They may not have factory bikes but they are a Suzuki team...

1/25/2013 9:45am I had the front drum relined and arc'd on my '84 RM250 and it stops better than some disc brakes. Unbelievable what a difference it made. Not cheap though that's for sure.
