Holy #$%^..

I got mine at repairmanual.com for an 03 RM125, total with shipping was just over $18 for the official Suzuki manual.. I was going to recommend them, but went to look and yours is $79.95! :yikes:

Yeah that sucks.I dont know why it is so high?

You usually get what you pay for. OEM is the best, in my opinion. Clymer is probably the cheapest.

This guy has this manuals description as a 1999, but the 99's engine code is a yz250L1. I believe the yz250m1 (as shown in the picture) is for a 2000.

 

[CR_RIDER]

what kind of spark plugs do the 2000 yz250's take?it had a bpr5es in it when I got it so I bought 2 more of the same.Ive allways used br8eg's or br8es's in my honda.Why did this bike come with a weird plug?the plug is a tiny bit longer than the br8.Why is this? :coocoo:

 

[CR_RIDER]

And can anyone recommend any good crankcase oil?and what weight to use?

[CR_RIDER]

were is the engine code?

You usually get what you pay for. OEM is the best, in my opinion. Clymer is probably the cheapest.

do you mean cheap as in price or quality? i have clymer manual and i liek them alot. that are extremely descriptive and have pictures of everything. and explain it in detail.

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

Clymer is a whole world better than nothing. Price and quality usually go hand in hand.

 

[Bigdogdaddy69]

go to ebay type in 2000 yz 250 theres one 4 sale now not a clymer.

 

[CR_RIDER]

Im getting the one that wake rider found on ebay.They say its for a 99 yz250 but the engine code is yz250L1 for the 99 and The manual on the auction is 250m1 which is for the 2000.so Im going to bid on it.

 

[CR_RIDER]

Hey bigdog what kind of crankcase oil do you use in your yz250?and what plugs do you run.Im going to buy the br8eg.Im going to the track this weekend.which 2-cycle oil do you run?I mix 32:1.

 

[Jeromeo]

I have a 2000 YZ125 and I use Belray Gear Saver. For 2 stroke oil I use Opti-2 but I am switching to Amsoil Interceptor because I get a real good price on it. I mix at 32:1 and My bike calles for a BR9EG but I use a BR8ES plug. The ES plugs are cheaper than the EG and i have fouled less plugs with the ES'. Hope this infor helps

 

[CR_RIDER]

thanks,I was thinking of using the br8es because the br8eg are $5.00.I used the br8es's in my honda and they worked pretty good.

 

[wake_rider]

I run the br8eg's just because that's what my manual calls for. We have the same engine, so I'd just stick with what the manual calls for. As for crankcase oil I run either 80 wt motorcycle transmission oil, yamalube 4t, or I'll just run any fully synthetic 10w30 to get me by in a pinch. I prefer the 80wt motorcycle transmission oil because I feel like I get better clutch feel and performance, but any will do.

 

[CR_RIDER]

well right now im using rotella t fully synthetic 5w40.I had it left over from my 99 yz400f(someone recomended the rotella).so your manual is the YZ250L1?

 

[wake_rider]

Yeah. My manual is for the yz250L1 but it is the same engine from 99 to current, so it will use the same spark plug. Really the only major changes from year to year making the last manual obsolete is the changes in the frame and suspension...

 

[Bigdogdaddy69]

ah i just bought mine a few days ago so i dont know what oil im going to use. theres a b8es in there now and runs like a champ.

NGK shows a BR8EG (stock #3130). Get them at Oreilly Auto, should be around $3.50 ea (4 to a box if want a box). I used to work there, around $2 ea employee cost.
