1983 RM500 and RM250 sales brochure from Canada (single page). Click to enlarge. This scan of a larger brochure was sent to me by Andrew Ringdahl, Canada. He comments the new features for the 1983-year's models: “The '83 RM500 differed from the '82 465 mainly from the increase in engine bore size. Other than minor cosmetic changes, the bikes were very similar. With the '83 RM250, fork diameter was increased to 43mm. Engine changes included a different cylinder head (revised squish band), and increased crankshaft inertia. Unfortunately, these changes were a step backwards as the '82 had a more potent powerband. Minor cosmetic changes were the only visable differences.” |
