RMX250 problem

[husaberg]

Air getting in somewhere on inlet side; crankcase seals , cylinder gasket, carb boot, gasket either side of reed valve.
Carb idle set way high and or lean pilot circuit (air screw/PJ)
Throttle Stuck.

Ya beat me too it..... occasionally when the routing is wrong on the cable and or with no freeboard it can pull on it with the handlebars.
also the idle goes up way silly when returning to idle after running when too lean on the pilot and idle.

RM seals are outside the bearing so they can be done without splitting the crank.

My 96 RM did the same thing once. It was fine and never did it again.freaked me out too. Turn the fuel off next time.

hmm yeah.. I was busy just about to when it stopped revving, Leased i know its nothing too dangerous, Ill fire her up again and see if it happens again, i also found my idle screw way far in and the throttle cable waay tight so i adjusted them properly, which i hope helps with the starting issue i was having

Hey All, looks like the issue was sorted with a new kill switch and makign sure the throttle cable wasnt sticking, On another note though... im unable to find anywhere on the internet what the ignition timing should be in either degrees or mm BTDC, Its currently set at 1.8mm btdc, and it runs ok, but id rather be sure on the ign settings

You didn't put the stepped crank seal spacer on the wrong way? I did that on an RMX rebuild, smoked like crazy.

I dont think so, you are talking about the spacer that needs to be pressed on the web after the bearing is pressed on??

Item 17 in this??

Thanks, I signed up and asked, I was also on thumper talk but they seemed a bit useless..

You are the one asking questions on THIS site ... calling THEM useless seems a bit stupid (almost funny). Take your bike to a motorcycle workshop an PAY to get YOUR issues sorted.

One thing I will add is if it has a Keihin Pwk Carb it will highly likely be shagged.
Symptoms include heavy smoking mid range richness and bog. Heavy oil build up in pipe.
The keihin's don't have a replaceable needle jet like the mikunis do.
Why they can be compensated for with a thicker needle, it will take some fiddling if that is what it has.
The RMX is worth preserving with as they are a bike that will never be built again, they were a genuine close to mx bike put on the road by the factory.

I seem to read that you are taking a bit of offense at me calling another forum altogether useless, im not calling anyone here useless, and id rather not take it else where the last time i had someone work on my RMX they went full retard on me and called my bike "an old piece of crap" So no thanks, Im fine on doing the work myself, I just like learning and asking about issues that im getting.

No offense taken by me ... but there will be a few members in this site ... that are members/frequenting that site too ...

Cool, well if they do take offense, hows about you let them sort it out themselves?

[matrox02]

Im almost ready to biff this thing off a cliff, got everything back together, went to kick start it, as usual with no foot peg on, only this time the kick start lever decided to go right through the clutch cover... I'm a bit calmer now.. but yet again, im waiting for another part to repair it...while I was there I noticed that my timing had moved from where i wanted it, so at leased i get to fix this while waiting for parts from S'traya
