12/27/2008 3:00pm I know Scott Lester. His kid Scotty was racing for several years, think he's in college now and out of the sport at the moment. Nice family, they still live up that way.

6/14/2008 11:57am Jemco pipe is on order! Thanks for the help!

6/10/2008 3:03pm You can view the restore gallery here: http://www.pitracer.com/uploads/photogallery/project83rm/ I've talked to you through email before, probably sent you a pic and yes it was sitting on a white bucket for a bit. I have OEM Suzuki foam spacers under the tank. I did a full restore using a lot of OEM parts, then changed things a bit out for racing...

6/9/2008 4:24pm If you feel like doing a full restore I have a local (Ohio) powdercoater that matches the Honda perfectly. Here's my '84 CR I'm restoring. I think it's $125 to bead blast and powder the frame (+shipping for you). http://www.ccycleworks.com/

6/9/2008 4:19pm Thanks for the input guys. I'll check into the carb and petcock stuff, sounds interesting. The bike has a complete brand new OEM stator, I went through that last year when restoring it! I checked out that pic of the pipe on your site, does look interesting! My bike is running pretty good as is, an honestly it doesn't feel...

6/8/2008 7:22pm yeah I have a stock one. Actually that pic is '81-'82 pipes, '83 is different!

4/15/2008 3:08pm I always find it funny the effort someone will go through to rig something, rather than just go spend $1.50 on the correct part from a dealer.
One other thing -- I think the ATAC connecter rod is broken. Is it supposed to go across the bottom of the cylinder than then screw in? Looks like there is a tab there that is broken off. What's the chances of finding that piece to replace? (EDIT) Nevermind, looked online and that part is still available OEM
Thanks for the tip on the exhaust bridge. I ran it only enough to know that it runs. Bike is nearly to the frame. Anyone know what modern (wide) footpegs will fit on it? Both pegs are bent up so I figure I might as well get wider ones when replacing.
Seems ok. The area where the impeller is has some pitting but I think it is functional. The bike was running when I got it and not spilling coolant into the oil. I think my buddy Darin talked to you about the '83 CR his friend has with that problem.
MXVet261 Added a reply to Finally finished my RM125
3/25/2008 7:09pm Real nice job! Looks awesome, I think you made a great choice to paint the motor black instead of having a mis-matched grey. That bike was my first ever brand new bike. It was not really all that fast. Linear powerband, nothing special. You should probably get a pipe, silencer, and reeds if you plan to race it. Again, great...

2/28/2008 5:22am Funny, I recently walked into the same dealership that AHRMA361 mentioned above. Keep in mind this is a HUGE place, carries all 5 brands and has been a Honda dealer for as far back as I can remember (early 80's). TONS of dirt bike and mx bikes on the floor from all brands. Anyway, I needed a bottle of Honda...

2/8/2008 4:36pm Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it and will almost be sad to ride it! Flu Designs makes the retro graphics kit and Clarke MFG makes stock capacity tanks in different colors.

4/16/2016 6:08pm Funny you say that. The bikes are actually in my basement, and NO it's not a walk-out! My wife helps me "roll" my winter projects through the kitchen and down the steps each year. I'm in the process of finishing the basement into a "motocross man cave" but obviously have a long way to go. RM's are '87 250 and...

4/16/2016 6:08pm A bunch of us on my website all bought 125's this winter to play around with this season, I can't wait! Here's mine waiting to be ridden. 2006 YZ, 139cc Maxpower kit, FMF exhaust, Vforce reeds, race tech springs. Rode it once before winter hit and the thing runs like a works bike!

MXVet261 Added a reply to 81 CR450 Anyone?
4/16/2016 6:02pm AHRMA361 has one of those, and he let me race it at Mid Ohio VMD 2006. That was my first ever AHRMA race and I never really knew anything about those old CR450's. Funny story about it, I was parked on the corner of one of the pit-roads, and about 5 people during the day stopped by and said things...
