I had a 73TM 125 , as kids riding 125s back then we just wished we had 250s. I would love to hear the bike start up and run. Seeing that bike brings me back to when I was 14 years old.
He did a good thing with the longer rear shocks as this improves the geometry by reducing the rake and trail which stock, made these bikes slow to steer and prone to washing out the front end in corners. I raced a kitted TS250 and also raced a borrowed TM. If you notice, the top fin at the right rear of the cylinder shows that it still used the TS casting which was cut away for the upswept muffler of the stock TS.
First thing that caught my eye was the rear shocks! Don't doubt that it improves the "ride-ability" of the bike. He obviously put them in there for a reason. Nice specimen!
Love the puch at the start and the villa in fact i love them all... my first brand new bike many years ago was a puch magnum x I loved that bike so much 😍 and it never went wrong.
Help! I am having a nightmare of a time trying to find rear wheel bearings for a 1976 RM 250 www.bossbearing.com/Rear-Wheel-Bearings-Kit-p/s-rm250b-rr-1.htm claims these are the bearings. They also say they do not fit the 76 A model, yet other ads claim the 76 thru 78 have the same bearing. I have ordered 2 sets and neither fit. One set the hub side was too big, (42mm), and the other was too large on the axle side, (17mm). Mine calls for 2 bearings, and there are no rubber seals. I definitely have a Suzuki wheel as it is marked as such. My outer diameter is: 40mm. Inner, (axle side), is: 15mm. Depth: 13mm. The hub is stamped: "Max. Dia. 150.7," and "497." Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could put better lap times on the 250 TM compared to the open class 400 TM. It handled and shifted well.
