Go for the Ohlins! The ebay one is not a Fox Shock it looks like a stock one.

Default Updates

I found an RM replacement shock and sent it to Drew at Works Enduro Rider. Drew is also going to install a set of Racetech Emulators in the forks. I had a big batch of OEM suzuki parts arrive and started getting them installed.

I pressed new bearings and seals into the upper full floater arm. Everything went together very nice and it was fairly easy to fit to the frame. Just make sure that you don't lose any needle bearings when install the long spacer and long pivot bolt.

This is what it looks like installed.That cad plated gold rod in the middle is actually a spacer and the pivot bolt goes through the center.


This is a shot from the side which show the pivot bolt and the new linkage arms bolted up with all new Oem Suzuki fasteners including new shock bolts.


View from the back, notice the new suzuki chain guard and bolt to the left.




New oem engine mount bolts and spacers.


New oem rear fender.



New oem front plate.


New oem fork boots

Default Updates Continued

I had bought a new Renthal Ultra lite rear sprocket part number 123U. Package showed that it fit all the RM 250s to 2008. Wrong. I spoke to the Renthal rep and he said that the 84,85,86 RM 250 ran a different rear wheel that used Renthal sprocket number 125U. The Sunstar application chart confirms this is correct.After some more research its appears that the 84,85,86 RM 250s used the same rear wheel as the RM 465 and RM 500. After 86, Suzuki went back to the std RM 250 wheel that they used until like 2008.


New oem side panel.


These are the big wide 98 RM 250 footpegs.


New tank strap.



New CDI cushion


New CDI strap


Tank with new oem fuel valve and cad bolts.



New bearing and seal installed on clutch shaft.New main bearings installed into the cases.


Clutch cover with the new ceramic coolant seal.

Default Water Pump

This is the water pump. I ordered new seals and bearings but upon closer inspection I am going to order a new impeller shaft. This shaft is too oxidized to use. This photo includes the new parts oriented on the old shaft that will be replaced.



This is the correct orientation of the ceramic seal for the water pump.

Default Engine Build Started

I started on the engine build this past weekend. Here are the cases with the new Suzuki oem bearings installed in each new oem case.



Shift side case.


Brake side case.


The cases went together without a problem.







Everything rotates smooth without any binding, shifts nice.
