Broken 2008 RMZ250

[krad_nz]

One of the guys at work had a bit of bad luck with his 2008 RMZ250 in the weekend.



Anyone got a 2008 RMZ250 casing sitting around?

Looks like it stripped a gear which forced the idler gear up causing the casing to crack. Doh.

mine did the same,apparently it was a manufacture fault. the cap in the kickstarter gear hasnt been pressed in tight enough and falls out and jams in the clutch basket...not good at 10,000rpm!!! suzuki paid to fix mine,$3200,but know of 3 others that have done it and had to fix at own expense

Could try Brugar Engineering on Barrys Point rd. They can do some wicked repairs. Worth a look.

Any ideas why this has happened?

Because it's not a Yamaha. Seriously.

Mate of mine had trouble with his 250F on the weekend, had to spend $600 on the replacement of exhaust valves.

Not sure why, maybe because it's an 04 CRF with 300hrs on board

No it's because it isn't a Yamaha.

Mine did the same thing Suzuki refused to fix,cost $3000 to fix sold bike and won't buy Suzuki again,wouldn't even give me discount on parts.

Hmmmm.... Might be time to move on to a 2011 WR150

Damn, well I didn't realise this bike had a fundamental design flaw.

I'll pass the info onto the unlucky owner. Cheers!

no the 05 rmz250 is a Kawasaki motor, part of the ill thought out sharing of similar model,

where the 08 is a suzuki alone built one

He told me today that he's getting some replacement parts from you Scott. Mr Motorcycles for the win.

Typical RMZ thing to do, my mates one did it. Looks expensive id still get in contact with suzuki, they are a large company in NZ and im sure they dont want any more bad press for the small price of a few parts.

Friends PS3 died a month ago and was told its a common problem and will cost him over $300 to fix. Once they said to the retailer he would make a deal about it sony repaired it for free to keep it quite so they dont get hundreds in for free repair. See where im comming from. Might help. I know i would give you the parts to keep it quite as they cost suzuki bugger all.
