Started a rebuild of an 88 RM250. New here on the forum but thought some might enjoy a few photo's. Bought this back in Oct. of 2017, started working on it in June of 18. I got it locally for $550.00. The bike started but I never rode it due to the shape it was in. Definitely had some time on it, but all in all pretty good shape with alot of stock parts on it. Always been a Suzuki guy as I had a 88 RM125 and dug the blue motor era. Going to (or want to) actually ride this thing when complete...
Here it is when I picked it up.

Internally the motor looked pretty good. Had a little moisture at one time, but came right off. New rod, seals and all bearings changed. If OEM was available I used it. When i took off the wiring I found someone had taped a blank wire. Found out later they changed the kill button at one time. ?? Who knows!
Wanted $1500 for it I only had 1800 total so i didn't buy it and bought this 86 cr125 instead for 800. I probably should have gotten the Rm. But i wouldn't have had enough to restore it fully.
