Custom 1991 Suzuki RM250
Check out this killer custom 1991 Suzuki RM250 from owner Jody McGaha!
This is a 1991 RM 250 that has been upgraded, and rebuilt from the frame up. When I got the bike it was a mess. I gave $400.00 for it. It was rusty, not running; everything was shot on it. Since I had never rebuilt a bike and wanted one to look the way I wanted it to, I began the project. Tearing everything apart and cleaning it up one piece at time. I will list some of the things but I’m sure I will miss many items.
- Replaced the swing arm the old one was bent
- Replaced all bearings in wheels and all swingarm parts
- New chain and sprockets
- Rebuilt water pump
- Front and rear brake calipers
- Rebuilt carburetor
- Rebuilt top-end
- Replaced 3 cracked motor mounts and broke rear mount/ swingarm bolt
- Replaced foot pegs with new over-sized
- Replaced brake pedal toe with over-sized
- Replaced throttle cable
- Bought a power valve cover, it was missing
- Replaced radiator vent line
- Put new head muffler gaskets and springs on
- New 2019 front fender and number plate
- New rads and new rear fender
- New clutch and brake handles
- New stop button
- Cosmetics were painting the frame, wheels, cleaning every part of motor and painting
- Rebuilt rear shock
- Custom graphics, shock Sox, and fork guards
I’m sure I’m forgetting things, but the end result was shocking to me! I feel like I have a brand new bike and love riding it! Thanks for reading!
Thank you for sharing Jody!
