This fucking awesome 07 rm250
plus some boot my way.
The Shop
The suspension is genuine racetech revalves and springs. The rear spring is one step below what their sure calls for, for my weight. It's PLUSH AS HELL!! Needs an oil change is say though plus oil height.
Handling is light and flighty, and unfortunately way less awesome than my rmz450 was. The 450 stuck like glue, this bike feels like it skates around a lot.
The bike has been taken well care of. No rounded bolts, every bolt is correct, and bike feels fairly tight.
According to records with the bike, it had a top end rebuild recently. I'll check the top end for security.
-Radiator shroud bolts are seized into the nuts and spin without coming out. Gotta get those out.
- spokes need tightening
-power valve adjuster had been turned COUNTER clockwise. Definitely the wrong way lol. I fixed that and ride today, and holy shit, this thing runs so, so strong and clean. PLENTY of low end, very strong mid, and fairly quick on top. It could possibly lose a tooth or two on the rear, believe it or not, and would probably still have more low end than my 2000 kx250 did lol.
-im wondering how much more low end is have with a stock, gnarly, or fatty pipe? If it's this strong with that dogshit sst pipe, then it must've been a low end beast as a sticker.
-there is NO WAY this suspension is stock. It is as soft and wonderful as a velvet cushion, yet firms up nicely as i hit things faster. It has racetech springs and stickers, so if assume it's had work done.
- Oh god, I love this bike! I seriously did love my rmz450, but the last ride I had on it I just decided that the excess weight, plus the sheer power I didn't really need for trail riding, wasn't what I was looking for. I'm seriously having so much fucking fun every single time I ride Every one needs an Rm250!
