Suzuki '88 GS 125 GS-125

”The ’78 RM250C2 has a strong but narrow powerband. It is light and fairly tall. The clutch needs the 400 steel plates and the suspension needs sorting out. Apart from that, it is a good bike.”

”The ’78 RM125C is very light, almost like riding a pushbike. It handles well, the crank is its weakness. When looking for the big end it is good to know that the GP100/125 are the same, cost only £18!”

1984 Suzuki RM 250 F

1984 Suzuki RM 500 Team GB works


Owner: Gary J. Gwillam, Cornwall UK

Comments: ”I bought the RM250C2 and the RM125C off of Ellastone Offroad bike breakers in England. Both bikes were imported from USA with different (rubber) tank mounts to standard; I am having trouble getting the mounts.

The ’78 RM250C2 has a strong but narrow powerband. It is light and fairly tall. The clutch needs the 400 steel plates to stop the clutch biting and the suspension needs sorting out. Apart from that, it is a good bike; the first with an alloy swinging arm and a plastic fuel tank.

The ’78 RM125C is very light, almost like riding a pushbike. It also handles well. It is a good collectors piece, as about this time they made mark on the motocross world. The crankcases wear and the side bearings work loose. The mag shaft is also weak and doesn't stand up to abuse. The side seals, if not changed, can eat into the crankshaft. So the crank is a weakness.

When looking for the big end it is good to know that the GP100/125 are the same, cost only £18!

I also have a ‘78 RM400C as well but it has been dismantled due to its history. It had been raced for three years, and then sold to a family into motocross. The oldest brother started to practise on it but had a bad fall and broke his wrist. After that the bike had been laid up for a number of years. When the youngest brother got old enough to have a go the bike was taken out again. The guy went practising but also he had a bad fall, he broke both his ribs and punctured his lung. The bike was taken to bits and put in the roof and has never ridden since. I bought it in 1999. Apparently it has a killer powerband, it has Boysen two stage reeds.

The American Clymer manual for the RM models (50cc to 400cc) has a tune up section that gives ideas to improve the performance. It instructs you to open up the RM400’s exhaust port 41.5mm from the top of the cylinder and widen the port to 56mm (stock 54mm). They feel this is enough.
The ’84 RM250F I bought for £25 and need spares for that, do you know anyone who has spares for the RMs?

I also have a ’84 500 Special Team GB Greg Hanson's works bike. Another identical bike was supplied to Gerard Wonsks (?) at the same time. It’s a 500 engine shoehorned into a 250F frame with works tank and lots of trick bits on. The cylinder has had major surgery to change the port to central port to fit the frame. The exhaust is special as well. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of it for the moment. It needs restoration.”

1981 Suzuki GS 1000 G

Owner: Martin Garside, New Addington, Surrey England

Comments: ”I have made several changes to my bike now. The mirrors are now square chrome style with 30mm home made stainless steel risers (so I can see past my elbows). The shocks have been changed to a more traditional type (the Marzocchi shocks were past their sell by date). I have added a fly screen as my arms ached after a high-speed run, as I had to hold on for dear life. It makes high speed riding easier but the bike wobbles at 120mph, but that is plenty fast enough for me. I have an original exhaust system to fit on, But the baffles are rattling around inside the have been gutted and I am in the process of building new baffles inside the original pipes. Soon I hope I will have an all the bits I need to do a complete cosmetic/paint job.”

1989 Suzuki GS 450 E

Owner: Brian ”Hekto” Sørensen, Ballerup Denmark

Mods: Clip-ons and Motad exhaust, new flashers. Original paint, 37,000 miles. Purchased in January 2003.

Comments: ”The 450 is a fairly small bike with just enough power for daily use and some fun at weekends. The handling is good and uncomplicated, but the narrow tires have their limits. The engine runs well, but does gives an occasional tickering noise from the cam - probably a valve shim.”
