Are you thinking that the battery will need replacement because your didn't bring it indoors and onto a tender or because it was dying before you...
I don't know. Something isn't sounding quite right about this. At 10k I am surprised that there are tensioner problems, if there really are. I...
The few set that I had ('84 and '85) did.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Nice work!! Great classic collection you have! I grabbed the images from your gallery to make them viewable: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Good news! I look forward to hearing the results of the compression test now.

I believe that the consensus is .13 for both. There is a service bulletin posted here somewhere where Honda specs a looser .13 all around. Keep...
Wow! That hurts. Lesson learned. I used to race very seriously and I often wonder how I would do on one now, almost 20 years later, lol.
...and how did you total the RM250? I've never heard totalled and MX'er together!
