Hi everyone, im new to the site and just bought an 03 rm 250. I have a few questions/ problems im dealing with. Ive been checking into everything on it and going it over it so itll be ready for when im ready to ride. My 2 main concerns are exhaust leak and there is way to much spooge on the rear fender. I started looking into part numbers and the number on the side of the carbuerator matches the number for an 04. Am i looking at the correct numbers? and i also pulled the jets out and they match the jettting for an 04, but the VIN on the bike reads 3 in the tenth spot. anyway the bike has an FMF fatty and shorty silencer (i dont really like the shorty). I bought a new spring and o ring kit from fmf and it seemed to help the leak a little bit. I was looking through parts manual the other day as well and noticed there is supposed to be a washer between the cylinder and pipe? is this correct? and if so does it make it seal better?? And as far as the excess spooge what should i be looking at doing? the plug is too black and oily, should i start playing with the jetting and clip position? I put in fresh gas with suzuki premix(thinking about trying race gas), new filter and plug and it still ran very rich. any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!
