| | | The 1980 SUZUKI RM50...
Got my new mini. Its a 1980 Suzuki RM50 it is a 2 stroke with clutch, 5 gears and powerband. I swapped my dhz140 and got the RM50+ $300. First thing I did was pulled the carby off and cleaned it. It is a Mikuni 22mm. Had heaps of dirt in it. I tried blowing through the port where the fuel line connects to and I could barely blow through it. So I got the air compressor out and blew out all the gunk and now petrol flows into the carby. I put it back together and tried starting it.... Got it started after a bit but it was running lean. I rev it and it revvs off its tits for 5 seconds before returning back to idle. So I dropped the needle 1 position, kicked it over and it started 1st kick and idles and revvs smoothly. Took it for a spin down the street and it was wheel standing in second gear.... It is a lot quicker then my 140.
Big plans for it already. Ill be rebuilding the motor soon. Ive got thumpstar forks going on it tomorrow. Will be fitting crf50 tank and plastics and doing it up using quality parts like five-0....
So basically a 50cc 2 stroke mini the same size as a crf50 what will smoke a 140cc 4 stroke 
Its pretty dirty atm I need to wash it.
