put a top end rebuild into my rm today,
Image

need to pull the flywheel off so i can reset the timming, seems like the problem from the begining was the rm's have a common problem of snapping the key steel in the key way and advancing or retarding the timing making it fire before or after tdc

my bike, and my mates yz125 and other mates kx250f

the guy who sold me the bike now feels ripped off that i baught the bike for 250 and will have it running for less than 400 bucks including purchasing it haha

Can of aerostart/startyabastard?

That will get it to fire if something is slightly off or if the plug has fowled.

Pull down the carby and clean it in paint thinners and blow out the jet (Make sure you take the O-rings out though)

My YZ125 was hard to start when I first got it, used to flood it before it'd start and id have to pull the spark plug out and clean it etc etc. I ended up buying a new spark plug even though the old one was 'okay' and it starts third kick each time now...
That's just from my experience I guess, could be anything I guess :roll:
Good luck!
