The History Of Suzuki's RMX250 1989-1998 

Bought a 1994 RMX last year. Love it. Thank you for the video.

The RMX250 is one of my all time favorite looking off-road bikes. I had a ‘89 & 91 RM125, so was a fan of all their bikes especially the RMX. it’s a Timeless bike IMHO.

Agreed 100% on the looks Tony, that 1990 RMX is probably the best looking off-road motorcycle ever created. God I was so depressed when Suzuki went off the deep end a few years later 😆

Agree they looked much better than the RMs in the early 90s. These RMXs turned out to be cool for a different reason here in draconian California.... My buddy had one and the VIN# made them possible to be registered for the street if someone wanted to do a little extra work. They made cool plated 2 strokes in California.

I'm doing probrably a 12k build on a 1991 rmx250 so I really appreciate these vids.. great content!

just picked up a low hour '98. very excited, my dream bike

HOLY SMOKES!!! Hannah is wearing the EXACT same AXO Jersey my Dad won racing Amateur on a TT500 before i was born!!! I was born in 1992!! What a trip!!!

Just picked up a great condition 92 rmx. Super excited.

Thank You!!!!!! Been waiting for a RMX video! They were Big back in the 90ies where I was from. WV and the Black Water 100 Race! The RMX and KDX bikes ruled!😳👍 I have 2 RMX and 2 KDX 220 and the 250 let Me know if You would like Pics..there mint and Original down to the decals!😊👍

Great show good info but I love those neon 90s bikes

I was a bike mech when these were out in Australia, the early gens were never a big seller as they were not registerable here and therefore you may as well just have the RM. Then in 96 we got a registerable version and that was a big seller but in typical suzuki fashion not great out of the box. Biggest prob was the horrible kiehin PJ carb with the idle circuit on the choke knob. Impossible to get a clean idle and crisp bottom end with that turd. Fit a kiehin PWK carb in its place and it was a night and day difference. Not only way better drive of the bottom but measurably better fuel range along with it. Funnily enough suzuki Australia secured from somewhere a heap of new stock 92 models and we now had brand new 92 and 96 models side by side on the floor and suddenly everybody wanted the much cheaper 92 model. You only had to look at a 92 model the wrong way and a fork seal would blow!

Loved the RMX250 , I've owned a 1991 and still Owen a 1995 . Great bikes 👍 and great job on the video 👍

These videos are insanely informative! Another good one!

Great video Be interested if you could cover the Australian rmx250s with all the later rm bits

I had a gorgeous 1994 all opened up with fmf exhaust and uncorked power valve and throttle with new top end with RM head it was bad ass wood bike man... I wish I kept it and put blinkers on it and plated it.... trust me it could lug and rip power band if was great

Great job, love these videos.

Had a 1991 RMX250 here in New Zealand it was a blue and white euro spec import ,road reg aftermarket expansion pipe and silencer ,jetted RM carb

I watch every new video you put out man.so much info.

Yeah agree I liked the Suzuki RM really miss them on the race track hope Suzuki bring them back one day brilliant channel videos 👍

You have officially covered every bike i own an have owned now. Love all the info you give! Ps id kill to get a pair of works connection frame guards for it!

I had a 98 and loved it , bought it new ,, stock it would crawl like a 4 stroke up steep slick hills that was really unbelievable that it would make it ,, i put a pro circuit pipe and silencer on it , then it was like a do it all machine ,, i could loft the front wheel anytime i needed to and really just loved it ,, i thought about a 3 wheel conversion before i sold it ,, i have a neck and back injury at happened in 2000 after i bought it ,, i set the suspension really soft so i could still ride gas well roads and some trail stuff ,, i think this bike was very under sold , it was great. Came with a manual that illustrated full tear down for everything, swingarm and linkage was greaseable. This is the bike most people need and dont know it,, a 6th gear would've been a big boost

Love your reviews Tony, thanks for making them!

Awesome video would love to see a video like this I’m the rm 250

Great job, thanks!

Thanks Tony, great wrap up. A good friend of mine had the 96 model jer in Australia (Suzuki cared more over here by the sounds!) and absolutely loved it. I always thought it was a great looking bike and he took it everywhere without issue. I always thought bikes like that are a great step up from 125s - the flavour of a 250 without the savagery. Would love something like that for my wife who's outgrown her 01 cr125 but is scared of my yz250.

i bought brand new 88 rm 125 first year rear disk had to replace spokes 3 times maybe bad hub on just that bike in 98 bought 93 rmx 250 and riding up until last sunday when i think dang power valve crapped out just died ill get her back goin love that bike thanks for the vid

ONE THE BEST BIKE SUZUKI RMX

Great vid👍😎 I Have a Mint conditioned 1998 250 RMX with various goodies on, FMF gold pipe/Silencer, modified seat/Tecnosel, E-line Carbon Fibre pipe guard, FMF wide foot pegs, Steahly Flywheel Weight, RM 250 triple clamps, Renthal handlebar, custom suspension/carb settings, Talon sprockets, Tsubaki chain, Acerbis bash plate, Ohlins Steering damper, factory effex graphics, acerbis bark buster/handguards😊

Thanks Tony. I had the RMX1989, but no rego for it here in Australia so was at risk being caught by the police when riding at a non track area. Just watch your vid on the 1989 Yamaha 250WR. I'm building a 1989 YZ250. Checked the frame number and shows it as a 1989, but the rear wheel is a 18inch, should be 19inch. The wheels are not original rims (excel). Going on the engine can I tell if it's yz or wr motor? The engine number is:3JE-00B101. Frame:JYA3JEW01KA008101. Cheers

the silencers on the rmx's looked like they stole them from the XR 500 thumpers lol

Even in SouthAfrica those things were corked up but could fly if you sorted them one of my dream bikes

In Brazil they were sold from 1989 to 2001!!

Nice bikes

Great information! I've owned my 98/99 sine 2003! And rebuilt it only twice!!

Since I wasn't a racer, I found an uncorked RMX to be a pretty good mount for many of the years it was in production. I'd been riding Husky and I liked the ability of the Suzuki to turn better in the trees.

I'll get that shirt ordered tomorrow Tony thank you!

Great video Tony, I'm baffled on how to get any information on my 1992 RMX250n non compliance plate in Australia. Have you any information on these models you can share with me? I think L M & N were pretty much identical. If you have any knowledge on these I am happy to give you a tip for your time. Cheers, Bill

Try one on the fatcat and or tw 200

I have a rmx 250 I thought was a 93 but it has the forks of the 96 not the upside down ones. Was wondering how I could tell what year it was

Hi Tony, love all the videos because they bring back memories 😁 Please can you do a video on the Husaberg FE four-stroke enduro bike's because I have just bought one 👍 Keep them coming 😃

Great video! I just picked up a 98. Do you know if the rm model years plastics are compatible? Thank you

Hello and thank you for very good informational film about suzuki rmx.. I have a question and ask it to those who know 👍😀 If I were to find a used Rm 250 1996-1998. What is the biggest difference between rmx and Rm? or can I just turn on the lights and then have an rmx built? like the rmx bikes. but want a used one as good as possible . for possible veteran competitions . It would be very nice if I could get an answer. many thanks in advance. and very interesting listening mvh 🇸🇪

Hey man! Iv got a 89 RM250, at least i think so! Could i possibly reach out to you for some question's?

I had a 96 RMX in 97. It was great in the tight woods with a short wheelbase, nice suspension for tree roots and rocks, smooth power and a pretty light feeling bike. But it was a nervous little girl on a Motocross Track. Well, on a MX track, that is what the bike turned me into anyway. I replaced it with a milder 97 KX250 in 98. lol

Can you do a video about the history of the rm 250?? At least from the 90s 😮

Hello Tony. Quick question? I am about to pick up a 98RMX250 with a blown motor and I have a Clean running motor from a 1990 RMX250 and was just wondering if the motor would swap directly in there?(motor mounts) Thank you

Great vid! I always liked the RMX, but never got around to owning one....yet lol. Is it true that Suzuki no longer has an R&D team?

I had an RMX250 - would you rather have an RMX or the KDX? Just curious - you’ve covered both and I’ve now watched both your videos on them.

Does the plastics of a Rm fit on rmx on the same year bike,

i own a 1993 suzuki rmx250 needs fixes tho

Hello Tony! Tony here, you know what MototTime is? like Mike LaRocco wore his helmet in 1991 when he was driving Suzuki RM 250? Is MotoTime a Custom painter like Troy Lee Designs or is that the brand on his Bell Moto 4/5 visor? Want information do You have on MotoTime and perhaps KAOS Design if it is the ones who painted his helmet???? thanks in advance, Tony🇸🇪

is the engine on rmx the same engine like rm?

I bet we didn't get the new design because Suzuki didn't want to pay for epa compliance for the newer design.

Hey Toni nice vid mate I had a 1991 RMX250 I hated it the tank when full made it really ungainly especially in the air, I thought the HP was good but here in NZ we didn't have the US restrictions so it was probably a bit more free flowing. But no for me it's the worst bike I have ever owned just due too it's unreliable characteristics I never new what it was going to do once you got her into the air. I no its not a moto X bike but I rode allot of fast open country and this bike really sucked.

This was a bike I never really liked I rode several but they always felt weird to me I wanted it to be great so I could buy one but it was not so at least for me.

Pics don't appear to match the model years on here. Just sayin'

My friend owns the 1998 model (To be exact it looks like the 1989 with the plastics but it is the 1998 version of it). Pretty fast machine, But nothing that will scare you. The torque and mid power is pretty good but on higher rpm's the RMX lies down flat on the power. In other words ''Typical Suzuki power''. It's cind of heavy in general. The bike is about 120kg wet. Combine that with 40,3 rear wheel hp and you get a pretty ''mellow'' power. Still strong, But that extra weight is not helping in the power department. But for driveability it's awesome to have that extra weight. It's steady and smooth on the gravel roads. In my opinion it's cind of hard to set the best gearing just because of the WR gearbox. Either you get the longest f*cking topspeed in history, Or you can get the shortest first gears in history. In general, It's a solid bike. Not perfect, But still awesome in it's own way.
