Default Nice

That looks really nice! I like the air cooled motor and the monoshock. Do you like your scissor stand? Where did you buy the stand?

Such vivid colours and simple designs are striking now.

It is great. I bought it at Princess Auto here in Canada. It sort of like a Harbout Freight. I've had it for quite a few years already.

That stand looks sturdy, I was thinking about buying one.

Default Engine Build Continues

New Mitaka Alloy basket with oem Suzuki Ring Gear installed.Thrust washer to the right.


This is the spacer with the two piece bearing in place. This spacer is a little different than a gasser, which has a thrust washer behind the basket and a spacer and bearing inside the basket. This suzuki spacer is really a combination thrust washer and spacer in one with a two piece bearing that fits onto the spacer. if you look closely at the photo you will see the bearing is a two piece design.


This is the main seal installed.If you look closely at the main seal you will see how the water pump bearing housing covers part of the main seal. You must install this main seal from the inside and before you install the main bearing. My Suzuki manual and my Clymer manual did not mention this procedure.


Back to the clutch.Basket mounted right up with thrust washer in place.



Nut and washer in place. New pushrod and ball.


New clutch pack installed with new oem springs.These clutches only have 5 fibers and 4 steels. On the later RMX models, these fiber plates interchange but the RMXs have 8 fibers and 7 steels.




Fitted the stator cover, new oem shifter and chain cover and oem case saver.

Default Waiting on a Wrist Pin Bearing and a Primary Gear

One shot of the engine without the chain cover and case saver installed. The new studs and dowels went in fine. Note, all four of these case studs are different and they are position specific.(check the suzuki fiche). I used assembly lube and I carefully torqued them in three steps with a 1/4 drive torque wrench. That is a new renthal sprocket.


One interesting issue. I had to order a new primary gear and crankshaft woodruff key. The 81 to 84 250 cranks interchange but the 83 and 84 have a different primary gear. (The 85 crank does NOT interchange because the rod is about 8mm longer.) My crank was a new 82 crank so I had to use a new primary gear but the water pump drive gear is the same.

I have the same stand. They work great and you can move your bike around the shop with ease while on the stand. And no more working on your knees!

That is what I am looking for in a stand. Some mobility and not being hunched over for hours at a time.

Those Princess Auto scissor lifts are just the usual made in China garbage. The quality of the welds is poor. Sometimes you get one that's OK, sometimes not.
One of the welds on mine failed and I had to redo it. No problem if you have a welder, but a pain for the regular guy without a welder.

Also the hydraulic circuit is meager and sometimes the lift won't go up. The fix is to increase the spring pressure on the bypass valve. Wait for a sale to buy one, they're barely worth that price.
