1988 Suzuki RM

Salvage

1988 RM125. THIS BIKE IS BEING SOLD FOR PARTS OR PROJECT. THIS BIKE COULD BE REBUILT BY SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE TIME, MONEY, AND MECHANICAL ABILITY. THIS WAS MY SON'S BIKE . HE'S HAD IT FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND HAS KEPT IT PRETTY WELL MAINTAINED DURING THAT TIME. IT GOT NEW RINGS AND TOP END GASKETS, ETC. EVERY YEAR. LAST YEAR IT STARTED FOULING PLUGS AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START. WE TORE IT APART FIGURING IT WAS TIME TO DO THE TOP END BUT, WHEN WE GOT IT APART THE CYLINDER AND PISTON HAD SOME SERIOUS WEAR MARKS AND THE RING WAS PRETTY MUCH NON-EXISTENT. BECAUSE IT HAS A NICKEL PLATED CYLINDER IT CANNOT BE BORED SO IT WILL NEED THE CYLINDER RESLEEVED OR REPLACED. I CHECKED AROUND AND FOUND A NEW CYLINDER FOR $300.00 I'M TOLD THAT RE-SLEEVING IT IS A LITTLE CHEAPER BUT NEVER REALLY GOT INTO IT AS MY SON HAD SINCE BOUGHT AN RM250 AND LOST INTEREST IN THIS BIKE. IT WILL ALSO NEED A PISTON (ABOUT $35.00 ON EBAY.) IT IS ALSO MISSING A FEW SMALL ITEMS LIKE THE SHIFTER, THE CLUTCH LEVER, THE CLAMP FOR THE BRAKE LEVER, AND THE OIL FILLER CAP.( THESE PARTS WERE PILFERED BY HIM FOR HIS OTHER BIKES.) IN THE MONTHS BEFORE THE BIKE DIED WE REPLACED THE CLUTCH, THE STATOR, SPROCKETS AND THE WATER PUMP. THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE IS GOOD. THE TIRES ARE DECENT. THE PLASTICS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR A BIKE THIS OLD. THE SEAT IS ALSO PRETTY GOOD. THE BRAKES WORK. IT HAS NEWER RENTHAL HANDLEBARS ON IT. ALL IN ALL IT'S NOT REALLY TOO BAD FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO PUT THE WORK INTO IT. YOU COULD HAVE A NICE BIKE WITHOUT SPENDING A TON OF MONEY. OR IF YOU NEED A BOTTOM END OR OTHER PARTS FOR YOUR BIKE I'M SURE THE PARTS WILL FIT OTHER YEARS AND MODELS. I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE FOR THIS BIKE. I PUT SALVAGE IN THE DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THERE IS NO OPTION FOR "NO TITLE". I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE A BILL OF SALE FOR IT. ALSO I WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY SHIPPING FOR THIS ITEM. IT MUST BE PICKED UP. AS FAR AS PAYMENT I WOULD PREFER CASH AT THE TIME OF PICKUP. I WILL ACCEPT A CASHIERS CHECK OR MONEY ORDER BUT, OBVIOUSLY, IT MUST CLEAR MY ACCOUNT BEFORE BIKE CAN BE PICKED UP ALSO I ASK THAT CHECK OR MONEY ORDER BE SENT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION END. . I WILL NOT DO BANK TRANSFERS AND WOULD PREFER TO AVOID THE PAYPAL FEES. ALSO, I CAN STORE THE BIKE FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME (INDOORS) UNTIL PICK-UP IS ARRANGED. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
