This is my first bike build, been wanting to do this for a long time now, i came across a 2001 RM250 about two months ago in really rough shape so i decided to tear it apart and start doing things my way.
I replaced the linkage bearings and did a little cleanup ad the linkage was really scratched and ugly
The swingarm was really bad also so i decided to try giving it a little shine as i live in iceland and no used parts available in the country
After much work i think i will be able to use it

What are the plans for the build?
The plan is to have a really good bike looking like new with small mods like rmz front end and aftermarket engine covers for example.
Gave the shock body a little shine and sent the spring off to powdercoat
Some parts :
New plastics
Graphics
Another look at the shock installed
Working on the swingarm:
The Shop
Both boxes are marked with the same colour but this is what you get when you try to save some money on cheap parts haha
So i ordered a set of D.I.D yellow gold rims, they should arrive after one week or so
Planning on using a brake line from a newer model
Still have to figure out the dent in the pipe...
And it needed a new shift lever
And a new brake pedal
I’ve been looking for a set of frame guards to fit this bike but i only see guards for 2004+ bikes, does anyone know if frame guards are available for 2001-3 ? I bought a set from WC for a 2004 RM because i wanted to use the newer brake reservour but that didn’t fit the frame so
And Ofcourse the same day i bought the KX i found a RM250 for sale so i had to buy it and sold the KX..
Then the container arrived at work !
