Title: Trying to decide on pipe for my RM
Post by: CCOADY454 on July 16, 2010, 08:18:15 AM
I've been looking all over for a comparison of pipes/silencers for 2003-2008 RM 250.  I can't find a good pipe review or characteristics for my RM 250.  Does anyone have experience with FMF and Pro Circuit pipe on the last years of the Suzuki RM 250?

Thanks

I had a FMF "gnarly" pipe with a "turbine core 2" silencer on my "97" Suzuki RM-250 and that bike ran like a ROCKET...! It had WICKED low end grunt that pulled very good high into the mid-range !!! :o :o :o

I'm looking for a little more low end because I'm not as fast on the gears as I used to be and I'm 220lbs, so I need to get into the powerband a little quicker without dipping the clutch too much.  I don't want to mess with the sprocket sizes yet either.  I'm still getting my legs back under me, haha.

CCOADY454 Then I would still have to go with the FMF "gnarly pipe" and maybe a "Q-Stealth" silencer ! The only other pipe company that I would use personally if I'm looking for straight up low end then I would go with the " Enduro Engineering "pipe and silencer.
 One thing that I can say for sure is that the FMF gnarly/turbine core 2 combo really gave my "97" RM-250 a hell of alot low end but it just carried that low end into a decent mid range! :P

I have a FMF Fatty and TurbineCoreII combo. It works great for me and I have power all around all the time.

i have an 06 rm250 and a 03 rm125.  ive tried fmf fatty, factory fatty, pcI, pcII, and a gnarly between both bikes. i now run the oem stockers.  i prefer the power band, on both bikes with the stockers.

btw i tried a v force III on the 250.  i couldnt tell the difference between it and the stock reed cage. so i sold it and went back to the oem one....

jmho.....

I  had a  couple RM125,s  on the  98, I  used  the  topend  reeds,they  lasted  and worked  great. When  I  sold  it  I  put  the   CARBON  TECH  lowend reeds  in. They  worked  great  low  to mid, but  didn,t rev  as high, and  power  went  flat  on top.  The  buyer  was   a  beginner  so   that  was  perfect  for him.  The   98 125  had  a  BILL.S  pipes  porting,pipe  and silencer  also.

Bills pipes for the RMs I hear are where it's at.

If you can't get one, shoot for an FMF Fatty or Dep pipe. Oops, read you need more lowend... Pick up a gnarly and FMF shorty, throw a tooth on the back and look @ getting a rad valve.
