Just picked this up (Jan 2019), really wasn’t sure about getting another 4 stroke but couldn’t find a nice 2 stroke and got a great deal on this.
2010 RM-Z 250
Notes
RM-Z 250 parts list and exploded diagrams Jun 2019 Race sag = 98mm, static sag = 46mm – static sag is too high, need softer spring Jan 2019 Race sag = 95mm, static sag = 41mm, preload length 255mm All damper settings set to stock Valve clearances: Exhaust 0.17 – 0.24mm (0.007 – 0.009″) Actuals Jan 2019: L 0.178mm, R 0.178mm Intake 0.09 – 0.16mm (0.0035 – 0.006″) Actuals Jan 2019: L 0.152mm, R 0.127mm
Fix crack in rear mudguard, again – plastic welding broke immediately, tried again using 3D printed ABS as filler but it didn’t adhere, went back to bigger tie wraps
The tie-wraps on the rear fender broke, plastic welded it to see if that holds better
Reset the race sag to 97mm (static sag 45mm?) to see if that helps with the back end kicking out and the tank slappers
Put rear compression damping settings back to stock
New U linkage – picked up a used set from a 2009 RM-Z 250 but is different part number, looks very similar, will take measurements some time
Straightened rear rotor and tried to re-seat rear tire. Rotor is badly worn, new one required. Even at 80 psi with washing up liquid, could not get the tire to seat properly, then noticed large cracks in some of the knobbies on the edges = new tire, ugh.
