Cracked Rims.

[JASONV]

The '99 RM 125 that I just bought appears to have some cracks on the front and rear rims protruding through the spoke holes. I didn't notice until I got home and was cleaning them up. Never the less, I own 'em now.

I don't really want to shell out the big bucks for new rims... Is there a repair option or Is there a good source for used rims or new take-offs?

Ask around at dealers. They probably have junked bikes laying around. Or better yet a motorcycle junkyard in a big city.

I would replace them. It would be a shame to get injured over a broken rim.

I agree replace them. Look around on Ebay or call the junk yards As long as the rim you are buying has the same number or holes,same width, and is the same size in circumferance you should be able to use it.

... Not true... The angle of the holes "may" be different. "MOST" 125 and 250's Front wheels are the same on the newer (Jap) bikes. The KTM's, GAS GAS... are different.
