Got one just like it about 12 years ago purchased it for 2000 dollars it ran but like it should have pulled it complete down took the cylinder of had it replated and they matched it with a wisco pro lite piston kit doomed style makes more compression more power 2 ring type got everything thing done too it includes new tires chain and front and rear sprockets and put a new set of boysen racing reeds the bikes got plenty of power and torque super fast has pro circuit pipe and baffle lucky later a year a 97 rm 250cc came up for sale want running but made me a great spare bike for parts got 3 other 2 strokes I ride but the 250cc is a beast like the one you have just wanted you too no you have one awesome bike it sounds great and it's super quick hope to see more of your videos seems to me the older bikes are better running and sounds great hold on too that beast you own I put a hour meter on mine it has ten hours on it since fully rebuild wish you the best with your awesome machine you have take care
She is strong. I got a RMX250 98 it's the enduro version but whit the same engine as in RM, she is about 15kg heavier but man she wants to rip my arms off.
Juan Reyes yes having bad rings would make it run like crap which in turn would contribute to fouling your plugs. If you do a compression test you can tell if your rings r bad. Only other way that would happen is if you mix too much oil in the gas or if you’re carb if not tuned properly
Ok well I do no its low on compression an when i got the bike the guy that sold it to me said it needed to be jeted to my elavation an my gas sometimes I mix 32:1 or 40:1
Your flying over those grass jumps damn. I rode the same bike it was my friends rm 250 '97. I flew up a gravel hill in second gear almost wide open.
Love that 2 stroke power. Popping wheelies in 2/3rd without the clutch! Straight power!!! Nice video, you should make more like this, I enjoyed it

You should consider getting new bars lol
Got a 99. Thing's a beast
Just bought a 99 today,, anything to look out for?
Think I need to adjust the power valve,
@@dw1256 the transmission is only weak link in these bikes
@@johnchopp3278 in what way do you mean weak,, my clutch lever pull was stiff but changed the cable and new oil seems to have helped out a lot,
@@johnchopp3278 any suggestions on jetting? Seems to be running nice and crisp but at the same time seems to be lacking top end/ full throttle
What front fender is on the rm?
NIice Country , what part of the country is it?
Sullivan county New York
Nice bike,got the same one!

@@TraysComedy here is me riding my 250 for the first time th-cam.com/video/03KTyKNh1_Y/w-d-xo.html
I have a 97 rm 250 as well. Do you have a newer model front fender on it?
Yes it was a newer front fender I don’t know what year it was from it was on the bike when I got it.
Does it foul plugs?
No never did I had the same plug for years.

Anybody no y my 1996 RM 250 keeps faling my spark plug out is it because the rings are shot.
