'00 RMX250 Dualsport/Supermotard

[johnnybizz]

Hi there, So I have a 2000 Suzuki RMX250S, which I'm working towards getting road registered.
Not a problem you say? But previous has cut the wiring loom down to the bare minimum. YAY

So it looks like I've still got the rectifier, CDI unit Coil, and thats about it.

Where should I start? I like the idea of LED indicators, tail lights and Rego lamps.

I could go and order a loom/switchgear from Suzuki, but money is tight, so what kind of options do you think I've got regarding retrofitting?
I have a TrailTech Enduro computer on it, which from what I've been informed, will suffice for warrents.

I would eventually like to have two sets of rims, one small for street and one for offroad, so investigating what is doable on that front.

Thanks a bunch, JohnB.

Start by getting rid of some brumbys, get rid of the big yellow tonka, Next sell the jetski and most importantly quit having a hooker every weekend. That way you will have some money.
Finally get out and ride more!


See you at the Taneatua ride on Sunday?

[johnnybizz]

Heh, the man speaks some truth.
I am not sure about sunday, I'm pretty keen but also pretty skint again this week after a few unexpected money drains. I might go for a jetski now and hassle that dolphin, and see about tomorrow.

In other news, I've been having a go at nutting out my wiring, and I think my Rectifier is poked, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm going to draw up a diagram sometime of what I've got going on, and compare it to what I'd like to get going on....

[Brainflex]

I have a universal rectifier sat here somewhere but that will cost ya. Wiring? hmm I have an Ag200 at work with a wiring loom, indicators n such. I will get it stripped off for you if u want. Also available is a tail/indicator reg plate holder somewhere.

[johnnybizz]

That'd be shit hot!
I may talk to you tomorrow, at this ride, RMX just needs to be put back together, air filter cleaned and oiled, and possibly gear oil changed.

[johnnybizz]

Oh yeah,
So I think this is a relevant diagram for my bike.

Looks like a bowl of spaghetti to me. Good luck.

[johnnybizz]

Bringing this back to life. Nearly finished actually, just got your message Dave, might not need that harness, made most of my own out of trailer wiring loom/looms.
I might still call round into your work and say hello though, I am pretty sure my regulator/rectifer is poked, surging between 6~18V DC at slow idle, and ~8V flat when above idle.
I ended up fitting a 0.8a/h 12V battery in the air box, but it isn't managing to charge it.
Just need to sort that out, get a headlight with high and low fitted, and some tyres, and I should be away!

I will attempt to draw a picture of what I've done and take some pictures sometime.

[johnnybizz]

Ok, so it looks terrible, But that is a slightly simplified version of what I have created.

[NordieBoy]

Good stuff

[zeRax]

eep ! no fuses!? omgomg !, be funny if u got an earth short after horn harehah

rmx250's are cool ;0

[johnnybizz]

Yeah... I may put some fuses in once I sort this voltage issue, I had wondered if they were nessassary, but there isn't any in the factory wiring so hadn't really bothered yet.

I might try and test the stator windings and regulator/rectifier somehow. Anyone know what kind of readings should I get?

Check and see ( with VTNZ ) if the bike has ever been registered before in NZ.

If so it will have a 17 digit VIN number recorded on the LTSA computer data base.

If it has never been registered before, forget it. It will be all but impossible.

Check back through here and you will find plenty of threads on similar enquiries with all the requirements.

[johnnybizz]

It has never been registered before, but because the first owner had the option at first registration, the VIN# is in VTNZ's system as 'Approved for registration.'
So apparently all I need to do is, pay some money, receive number plate, And go get first warrant.
