ahhhh man here we go


Recommended Posts

so i was out drivin around town when i passed a used powersports store. they had suzuki Rm250 sittin outside for $1650. no idea wat year model it is, but the bike looks clean.

im goin down soon to take a look at it. but heres the hard part. i have money saved up for suspension for my quad but now that i see this bike, im rele considering spending that money on the bike IF its in good condition.

so wats yalls opinion? 400s suspension or rm?

when i do go down there wat should i look for in a used 2 stroke? anything defects with RM models?

this will be my first two stroke and ive always wanted one.

i kno theres been numerious posts here about buying dirtbikes but hear me out.

any input is greatly appreciated

Chris

as a matter a fact i gunna race both XC and MX. but i kno alotta ppl who jus race XC on stock suspension. so i can delay MX till i get some cheap elkas.

im goin down to look at it around 3. so ill give her a kick since i dont have a tester.

ive wanted another bike ever since we sold my ttr for my 250.

anything else? valve leaking, oil spitting out?

every thing else will be obvious, check coolant its a 2 stroke so u dont hav to worry about valves, well there is a flapper valve on the bottom i cant remember wat its called. check exaust for excesive oil.

well i jus got back, and there was numerous things wrong with it.

needed new sprockets, and chain

needs to have forks rebuilt

needs 2 bar clamp bolts(how in the hell can you lose those!?).

clutch was broke off.

and front rim was bent and barely retained air.

needed new brake pads all around.

and it needed a new front & rear fender .

they wanted 1650 for it. so i offered them 1200 considering all the repairs that it will be needing. they said that the kelley blue book price is 1650 and if they cant sell it at that price within 2 weeks than he'll give it to us for 1200.

other than those problems it ran great. but im not paying blue book price for a bike that needs 400-500 buck of repairs

so thats that. and im now taking zero's advice and looking for a 125 2stroke. or a cheap 250 2 stroke if im lucky

and so the search begins :yes:

rear shock is great. almost like its new...sorta fishy huh?

i kno he tried "stuntin" it b/c the plastics has black ashpalt marks on them. and the rear fender is LOOSE. it wobbles like crazy. so obviously he hit the rear fender while doin a wheelie.

im to not worried about the forks cause my buddy knos how to rebuild them and he'll do it for me for 50 bucks.

the frame was fine. no cracks suprisingly.

i could rele care less wat brand it is. but if i had a choice it would be a yz or cr.

i jus want one that is in my budget and wont require an assload of repairs.

haha TB, i would do that if i had a spare frame, but my intentions with this bike is to have 2 toys. my fo-hundy and the bike.

dammit i wish i could sell my 250ex. that way i can get a better bike and my 400s suspension :aargh: its jus sittin there gathering dust

its almost not worth it. the lack of suspension mods and the shaft drive pulls the 250ex down. but it would be a decent drag bike :yes:

i was origianlly gunna tade it in for my 400 but my mom said she wanted it. sooo she rides it once a year and when she does ride it, all she does is complain about the seat being too firm :skeptic:

lol , yeah it kinda sucks and it would be very time consuming to switch to chain drive:yes:

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      Are there any good mods for adding a radio, or Bluetooth speaker that's kid friendly? My son thinks he needs music while riding around.
