OldMechanik Added a reply to How many members own an RM250?

5/6/2015 5:57pm
I've come a ways with it....It has a #7 slide in it and plugged the power jet passage, but I try to stay around 32:1. Got the spooge to near zero. I've installed a big rotor on the front and have tweaked the suspenders a bit, some stiffer springs will help more. Still needs a FWW and a new clutch...

OldMechanik Started a new thread RM brake upgrade

4/25/2015 5:32pm
As many of you know, the brakes on the 2000s RMs weren't top of the line stoppers. My 03 is no exception and is unacceptable to me so I bought a 2004 line to update it... ....however, my 03 KTM125 had a viscious front brake that required nearly no thought or pressure to stop all forward motion. So I wondered...

Update: So I got it bled and broke in and took it to Durhamtown Friday. The track was mostly dry and hardpacked so traction wasn't abundant but it will put you on your ass without effort. The lever isn't firm like the Brembo system but it is quite strong. I took it to one of the vacant camp spots and...

So the wife bought a big rotor kit and some grippy pads for my birthday.....along with the CR style 04 up hose I got just a while back. I'm planning to ride Monster this weekend if the weather cooperates. I'll post a ride report after. I may have to find an EBay Brembo master.

Nice to hear...I've known the Church family for about 24 years and they are all good folks! Everyone was very excited...I hope he can take this experience and build on it.

Very glad to see my young friend https://www.facebook.com/cody.church.359?fref=ts in the Main last night!! This was his first main event and he qualified straight out of the heat. He's been working hard all season and we hope he continues to improve. I used to race with his dad and I know how proud his family is right now! How about a...

Had one in my 125SX and now one in my RM250.....no problems. I use them with the understanding they are junk, but I haven't had an issue.

I'm not sure on the DODGE, he is a killer body/paint man who usually runs a resto shop....all his cars are sharp! The Suburban is from the Rifle Co. area.

OldMechanik Added a reply to 90's bikes?

4/14/2015 8:15pm
I like the 90s bikes and their "cartoon" graphics....as well as the loud gear we wore. 90s were the last of any real development, except 4 strokes, injection and suspension innards. I don't consider them "old school" but they're old enough to be classics. Maybe two groups of old school.....pre liquid and liquid cooled up to around 1999 sub-sections.
