another project

[redneck23ms]

picked up another project today. a 94 suzuki rm250. its in pretty good shape but gets water in the cylinder. i'm pretty sure its the head gasket since it has a whole new topend on it. but won't really know until i tear into it. has some nice addons on it such as a fmf gold series fatty pipe and a fmf pro-core silencer. needs a little tlc but should be pretty fun once i get her goin. the neighbors are really gonna like me

Now you're talkin'!
Do you have a place near you to ride? Please tell me that you wil at least wear a helmet. My gear has saved me so much pain and death over the years that I was riding and racing.

[redneck23ms]

there are a few places to ride. plus the bethel trails in desoto nat. aren't too far away. and will definitely be wearing a helmet. i'm not planning on racing or even track riding. just trail riding

Nice ride just be careful!

turns out its not a 94 rm 250. its a 90 rmx250. i'm glad its a rmx instead of a rm. rmx is more of an enduro/trail bike where the rm is a motocross bike. would have rather it be a 94 but oh well.

Bigger tank, wider gear ratios, probably. Heavier flywheel to build torque is a possibility. Enduro bikes are generally better suiteed for recreation. Especially if they have a lighting coil and headlight.

[redneck23ms]

yep. i know is has a heavier flywheel. not sure if the tank is bigger. and it does have a lighting coil too. supposedly good to 80w. but the light is gone. hopefully the gaskets will get here quick. i'm ready to ride

[redneck23ms]

gaskets got here today. swapped in the new base and head gaskets and runs like a top. however it gets water in the oil as soon as you fill up the rads. and after topping off the water a few times it pushed oil/water up into the powervalve and out the pipe. so now i get to change the water pump seal. hopefully that is the only problem with it now.

There is alot to be said for the old air cooled bikes. I still have one tucked away.

[redneck23ms]

get that thing out and get it tuned up. maybe we can get a ride up sometime in the future. there are some trails up your way in desoto nat. and 40-50 miles of trails down here north of woolmarket
