Thanks everyone. John, I would like to research the V.I.N. on my bike to see what the history is on it since it looks like it was once raced pro. Is there any site that can track that?

Some minor glazed lines are fine. This is because the cylinder DOES move up and down in cylinder. It is just making a pattern in your plating. Normal if you ask me. I wouldn't sweat it. Now, the wall is gouged, that's a different story.

Very nice job on it. Reminds me of my first dirt bike.....a 1987 KX 80 bigwheel. Good luck with it.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself since I'm new to the forums/website. My name is Ross and I'm from SE Florida. Been looking around and love the site. It's really hard to find a place that covers mainly 2 stroke dirt bikes. I ride a 1996 RM250. I swapped in an engine out of a 2000 RM250 and has been running great for a couple of years now. It also has the 2000 plastics and I believe forks (you guys probably could tell). I noticed my frame has a Pro AMA decal by the forks with a number on it. Does that mean by bike has been professionally raced? I'll post pics of my bike this evening for everyone if I can figure out how. If there are any southern Floridians on this site that knows about good legal riding areas, please let me know since they are very hard to come across. Also, are there any good 2 stroke motocross shows on Speed Channel or any good 2 stroke magazines out there? It seems the world is going to 4 stroke, but I can't seem to get into them too much. Sorry for all the questions.
