Had issues with that fork in the beginning - shop looked at it and realized it was completely dry on the inside Lubed it up no other issues since it’s been a solid performer

I love the RMX to bits but yeah i need a JD tuner but sometimes do you find its a bit hard to start? like it doesn't go first or second revolution and it takes a couple of goes at the button? ither way i love the bike and i think the JD Jeter kit will help with that but is there anything else i should look at doing along side that? i also already have a lithium battery

Mine is still running strong. On my fifth riding season on her. I've added a larger IMS tank and just bought the Yoshi RS4 exhaust system for her (have the tuner as well). Bonus is I have her fully street legal. Adjusted all 4valves for the first time with only 1 technically being out of spec. I love her even though she is a fat pig.

Hey, moto, I have the same year bike. Did you ever experience the idle being too low to where it was stalling out the bike on a tight single track and not like starting again? I adjusted the idle to be higher but have yet to go back out in single track... let me know as it would put me at ease a bit

Just checking in with you. It's mid October 2023. Are you still riding your RMX? I used to talk with you on Thumpertalk (Sinister Veritas). I just dusted my bike off after sitting for almost a year. Bought an Electric Motion Escape as a trainer and rode that all of 2023 to work on skills. Finally got on the 450 and I still love this bike. Freakin' thing started right up. With better skills love this thing even more than the first three years. Best wishes!!

How does this bike compare power wise to the drz with 3x3, pipe and fcr39mx? I would imagine the power would be around the same? I read that this bike uncorked makes around 41hp, which is roughly what the Drz is said to produce with the mods I mentioned.. I noticed you have both bikes, so what do you think?

@stupidmoto Жыл бұрын

My uncorked RMX feels much more powerful than my modded DRZ. The RMX has a 40lbs weight advantage over the DRZ and the EFI on the RMX is much more responsive than a carb. Not to mention the displacement advantage of it being a 450 over a 400.

@markalan4026 Жыл бұрын

@@stupidmoto I was a bit surprised with the claimed 41hp uncorked RMX450Z numbers, I figured it would be much closer to the RM-Z450. I assumed it was made to compete with the WR450F, CRF450X etc. The information I came across said it wasn't really designed to be raced, but for more aggressive trail riding. I would assume the 450 feels more torquey with the larger displacement, and 40lbs is a significant difference in weight, which will obviously result in a more nimble and responsive bike. They say a properly set up FCR should perform similar to properly set up EFI bike, but idk... I do have a Grizzly 700 with EPS, and I like the no messing with jets and needles if I need to tune it.

I just finished my second season on this Fathom 27.5 with Crest 130mm fork. First ride last year I discovered dealer took delivery with a non-offset chain ring so had a proper ring installed, and I also mentioned about the fork clicking noise. They said enjoy the season and leave it winter time and we'll replace the guilty part (sleeve I believe). So this second season I enjoyed the hell out of this bike with the properly serviced Crest fork; it performed very well on the local single-track trails. Second to last ride my pedal caught a low-lying stump, I went flying - bent the steerer tube. Forced upgraded to a Fox Factory 34 Float 140mm FiT4 Kashima, same 44mm offset, and same boost 15x110 spacing as the Crest. It had the right specs and was only $550 new in box, plus tax for a left-over 2021. Was able to test it on two visits to the trail but the season is now over. The new FOX has better appearance, much quieter (almost silent), and a tiny bit plusher... but I actually would have preferred to save the cash and milked the Crest for a couple of more years if I hadn't bent it. But then I didn't have a choice. So if you're riding the Crest - enjoy it knowing it's providing a ride that's nearly indistinguishable to a higher end fork for an intermediate rider. That was approximately 1200 singletrack intermediate rider trail miles before I bent it. I'd say it was an excellent value. Shifting and brakes are functioning like new btw, as well as the dropper.

Way way back we took full system off and bunged one end up. Stood it on end and filled it with baking soda and water. Let it stand overnight and when emptied it was spotless. Brand new shining. New cleaning products like jizer stopped people doing things like that. Try it. I've never used anything better. A cup of baking soda for a full exhaust system from header to end can used to work great. Baking soda is very cheap..

That sounds like an awesome find!

The bushing inner diameter was bigger than the stock ones but it took them out of the original shocks and put them in the chinese ones and they bolted up perfectly and work great. I'll try to find the link to the ones I bought.

If you let the clutch out in 1st gear just idling, not throttle how fast does it say on the Speedo ? 5, 6, 7mph? Strange question I know but I’ve found a street legal rmz450 for sale near me an I want to know if the bike can creep along at walking pace in the woods without working the clutch to much. Any reply would be helpful (why Suzuki didn’t go 6-speed idk)

@stupidmoto 2 жыл бұрын

Hmm thats a good question. I'll have to get back with you on the exact number next time I ride. I do wish 1st gear was a little taller on the RMX, but it still creeps plenty good with some clutch work. The RMZ has a shorter first gear, so it won't want to go as slow. But going to a 51T rear sprocket would help it. I've heard of people having good success with the RM-Z as a woods bike, but it might struggle a bit more in the tech stuff compared to the RMX.

Just bought this bike, shame I didn't come across these types of reviews till after. Apparently the early Fathom 2021 models we're the ones with fork problems and chain drops on the highest gear (issues have supposedly been fixed in the newer ones). Tbt I really wanted the Canyon Stoic, but they've been out of stock for at least a year, plus I didn't have the budget for a Roscoe 7. There was no way for me to ride a Vitus Sentier 27 VR (wasn't going to buy one online without riding it), or the Rockhopper (out of stock locally) for a shootout with the Giant. I'm also a sucker for matte paint jobs in lighter colors. If I gotta put a new fork, and a chain guide on my mtb I'll be a little disappointed, but its not the end of the world. Frame geometry is generally praised, and coming from a rim brake bike - the disk brakes are an upgrade to me. Long story short, I will probably end up spending the same budget I was trying to avoid. The advice I ignored (from another shop) to save up an extra few hundred dollars and just get something in the 1,800 plus range was the advice I should have taken. Oh well, I'm gonna rip it on this bike anyways! See you on the trail guys :)
