MXVet261 Added a reply to 1992 RM 125 I got....
5/17/2009 6:34pm Great stuff. Ironically, I too just recently picked up a 1992 RM125 to restore. I thought the 1989-1992 body style were the best looking RM's ever made. They just looked so trick and I always wanted one. I prefer the blue/yellow look of the 89/90 to the crazy art of the later models. This bike will be torn down and...

5/17/2009 6:29pm DC Plastic SUCKS. You can still get OEM fenders, radiator shrouds, and front number plate from Suzuki, or use the new MAIER plastic. They have improved and now put a nice gel-coat over the finish. Also I notice the bike is missing the plastic roost guard that goes between the suspension struts. If you try to get one for that...

3/18/2009 3:38pm From the original post on Ohio: The original track in Malvern, Oh was named Motosport Trails. It still operates today as Malvern MX, mostly running night races. Smith Road Raceway still operates as well, running Wednesday night practice through the season. They also run 3 races a year. I live 3 miles away and ride there quite a bit. A...

2/16/2009 7:59pm Well, I'm not AJ or Pipe, but walking into your local Honda dealer and ordering one might be quicker than posting on a forum. Or you could order online from Cernics, Service Honda, Bike Bandit, Midwest Action Cycle, or plenty of others. GASKET 19229-MAC-680 (replaces 19229-KA5-306) $3.80

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.

6/10/2008 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...

MXVet261 Added a reply to frame paint 85 CR125
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...

MXVet261 Added a reply to I got an 85 RM250 last weekend
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.
