I bought this bike in May 2015 from the original owner in Denver when I lived there. His wife bought it for him brand new in 2005 and he had only ridden it a few times. Literally just s few times, as you can see below the paint is not scratched off the frame and the bike was 100% stock. It even had D756 on it lol. I jetted to Pro Circuits specifications and I run 32:1 Castor 927 1 gallon C12 with 3 Gallons 91. I took it apart to powder coat the frame and am slowly putting her back together and doing a top end since it was the original top end from Suzuki. Let me know what you guys think so far.

I did a few updates before the tear down.
Factory Connection re-valve/re-spring
Bill's Pipes silencer
Now full Pro Circuit exhaust
Rental Twin Wall
WC Radiator Braces
WC Glide Plate
WC Frame Guards
Golfer Oversized Front Rotor
Aluminum Throttle Tube
MX52's
Motoseat Seat Cover
Finally ditched the stock chain and sprocket when some teeth broke in October.

Parts to come:
Cycra Stadium Plate
Yellow front disc cover
Complete plastic kit
Decal Works graphics kit
Steel braided brake lines
Black rims
Anodize stock hubs magnesium
Suspension service
Boyesen Rad Valve
Boyesen Clutch and Ignition Cover (black or magnesium)
Boyesen Super Cooler Kit (black or magnesium)
Red or Yellow CV4 radiator hoses
I would like to find red RG3 top and bottom triple clamps


This was taken before the first ride and after I took off the hand guards

Before the tear down


About to get sprayed

First of all, great find! Second, way to go all out on the build. Yellow frame is a brave choice but it pops. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Nice project! Yes, you are right you'll need black rims to offset the yellow frame. I chickened out of doing my frame yellow and ended up with black. Look forward to more pics!

Cooper 688 Black is black, you can never go wrong with that in my opinion.

I have been eyeing these for sometime now. I don't have a good enough excuse in my head yet to spend that much money,

K-dubbb your frame looks great.

The Moto Hose hose kit replaces every hose on a RM250 with a colored hose .... not just the radiator hoses like our competition

You should have put on the current RMZ fenders and number board. Nice build though

Im not a big fan of the new RMZ look. Plus I really dig the Stadium Plates. It did cross my mind though.
