slick james187 Started a new thread Basket case 2003 RM250 Build
5/9/2014 12:51am Hello all, I've been lurking the site for a while but I'm new to posting. I got this build on another site but I'd like to share it here as well. I want to share with everyone why some people shouldn't own bikes. I picked up this filthy 03 RM250, worst kind of shape you could imagine. Plastics all held...

5/8/2014 1:00pm Ok fellas, I'm thinking that this bike may be more work than it's really worth. What do you guys think?

5/7/2014 5:01pm Thanks, I appreciate the info. Whole bike is up for grabs if anyone needs parts. Motor was a good runner before the stator took a dump 10 years ago. Has good compression, piston looks like new! Probably wouldn't need much more than seals.

5/5/2014 8:47pm I was kinda wondering that myself. The frame has to be a replacement frame, no vin or tool marks from removing one. I ran the engine numbers and It's apparently a 2002. Fortunately the 03 linkage stuff all worked! But now I have a full Cometic top and bottom end gasket set for a 2003 I don't need :-(

5/5/2014 2:39pm HA this kid is trying to get 900 for the turd I traded him. He doesn't mention the forks are blown, back sprocket is toast and a bunch of other little stuff. http://redding.craigslist.org/mpo/4453471337.html

5/5/2014 9:37am I actually read your build last night. Thats some good work! I wish I had that clean of a bike to start with... I have a total of 10-12 hours just cleaning, the pressure washer wouldn't touch 5 or more years of clay and gunk. Had to scrape and scrub! Ok, as for parts i need here we go: Airbox...

5/3/2014 1:57am Already have the bike torn down to frame, painted, linkage rebuilt and have the cases split. Tranny is nice and smooth shifting, and someone even put brand new clutch plates and springs in it for me! Will post pics tomorrow!

5/2/2014 9:16pm I couldn't let it rot away. Dumb kid was asking 900 bucks or trade. I gave him an old crappy but running 1980 Honda xl185 for it. Kinda kick myself in the ass, but this is ten times the bike. So I understand that the 03 was a bastard year, I'm curious as to what all year forks and wheels...
