I traded my 14 rmz450 to a great condition 07 rm250 and literally cannot find any info online about this bike. Anyone have any articles, etc they'll post?

I got one too love the bike....
The clutch sucks. Very grabby. Put a better basket in it if you want to get decent starts or like to ride slow technical stuff. Great bikes. Tighten the steering stem and play with sag because these bikes can be nervous if you don't set them up. That's really all these bikes need.

But my winner is the RM all day every day.
Good bike. RC made the 2006-2008 better (rake etc)
This is what Dirt Bike had to say about these bikes:

Best of luck with your 2007.
Here is a link to the service manual

Newer model RMZ shocks are a direct fit. I know RMZ forks can be made to fit but not exactly sure what is needed.
Do a search on those bikes in this forum. There's a lot of info.

Ive had 4 of these rm's. Just jet it and ride.
.... just ride it like you stole it !!!
They don't need much, You don't need to go crazy.
- go oem top end and clutch packs only
- w/c perch did wonders w/ the grabby engagement
-- YEs type F atf works the best for me. Change every other ride or after a sand track
- jd jet kit (easier for me)
- Sunoco 110 @ 32-1 w / 927
For comfort and feel I liked the fat bars like I had on rmz, so I picked up the same bend. Plus it helped when I jumped back and forth between the two bikes
Added a heavier fww to clean up the chop in the team and smooths the hit slightly or just more linear
Showa great on both ends w/ a revalve
*** Only issue is I need to start riding... too much work this summer
48mm forks on the 2013+ RMZ's.
AFAIK. The 2010 to 2012 RMZ 250 forks are a direct fit with the 06+ RM's. But different axle sizes.
Top triple clamp from the 06+ RM 125 and RM 250, are the same as the 2008 to 2016 RMZ 450 and the 2010 to 2015 RMZ 250.
Bottom clamp on the 2013+ RMZ's is to large in diameter.
A ,lot of people use the YZ 250 pistons in the RM 250's.
Keep the rear suspension linkage and head stem bearings well greased
You should be able to find a new Hinson clutch basket, good luck finding the other parts for an 06+ though. Only chance is 2nd hand.
BUD racing do a bottom tripple clamp that uses the newer RMZ front guards. You should be able to get one from Applied Racing also.
The seat foam sucks. The Factory FX foams are made by Gut's Racing, Or you could get a complete seat from SDG.
IMO, the Boyesen Reed valve is better than the V-Force.
2nd gear is the one that normally shits itself. I had my gears etc Isotropic Super Finished.
COPY & PASTE.
- 3rd and 4th drive gear and 5th driven tend to wear out on the dogs about every 60 hours running time (on average)Theres a shim washer and circlip on the back of 3rd drive gear thats a little too thin and allows 3rd to 'float' a little too much. We add a thicker shim washer there, and also a more heavy duty circlip- the stock circlip can concave (or pop off all together) if you stomp on the gear lever too hard, allowing the gear to move where it shouldnt. This will make your gearbox last alot longer!
Also, when you check your clutch you might want to check the gear selector pin as we have had these work loose after a few hours- we normally remove them and loctite them when we get the bikes, same with the screws on the selector barrel.
Just kidding. Congrats on the new bike
