Picked up this 2007 Suzuki Rmz 250 frame and swingarm. Also came with the triple clamp and rear shock.
First priority is to get this into a rolling chassis.
Will restore this frame before mounting the motor and figuring out which battery to build or buy. I’ve ordered the front fork tubes, rear suspension linkage and missing bolts. Also ordered new bearings for everything including the steering. This bike will be built for Enduro and trail riding.
I’ve started sanding the swingarm to remove all scratches and minor dents. The plan as of now is to polish the swingarm and frame and apply a lacquer coating to protect the polished finish. The frame is in good shape not that many scratches but the swingarm was pretty beat up cosmetically.
Motor wise I’m not sure yet. It will be either the QS180 or the QS138 90h.
1st option : QS180 with 21” front 18” rear - wheels
2nd option : QS138 with 19” front 16” rear - wheels
Will build the wheels using excel Takasago rims.
Leaning toward the first option with a 50kW set up :thumb:
I’ll post pictures as I make progress with the bike build. As mentioned I will restore this bike into a rolling chassis before I start any motor mounting, battery and controller. This build will take me a while. Stay tuned!
