[QUOTE="jackson409, post: 51330, member: 381"] Allot of what I have heard about the RM 85's are low end bog issues, but can be worked out some some serious jetting 101. Like the KX's they do have the power valve which lessons the on/off switch hit of the power band. They are [B]no[/B] low end torc monster. Compared to a KX100 less bottom end, smaller wheels, more difficult to jet. Good bikes tho, they are just designed to scream as they are a racing bike much like that KTM you just bought. Thats not a bad price on it tho. If it was in good shape and I was looking for a bike for a kid I would buy it. This also can be something for your boy to step up on, once he grows out of that 65 then get your girl a KX or RM 100 Drain the gas and mix your own :prof: I wouldn't ever go less that 28:1 on a small screaming engine. But that is just me. I run 28:1 on both my YZ85's more oil is better in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
