    These kind of bikes are for regular people who like to ride in trails and do some hills. Or keep up with some riding buddies in the woods. These kind of dirtbikes are not for motorcross racing or hitting large jumps. I think they are definitely a bargain for what you get versus how much they cost

    First thing any new owner should do is bin the spark plug it comes with! Fit a good quality iridium plug, it'll start much better and idle more evenly. Second thing to do is setup your valve clearances properly (won't be correct from factory, usually too tight). Third, you will need to adjust your carb to get best performance and correct idling. The forth job should be to check your wheel spokes, normally these are a mile off and the wheel will not be running true, they will also likely not be tensioned correctly which will cause problems down the road.
    Once all those little jobs are done you'll have a nice reliable bike that'll give you lots of fun and won't break the bank when it needs anything, which by all accounts isn't too often unless you treat it very badly!

      @@samitis2437 These Normally come with a Nibbi PZ-28, these are absolutely fine for this engine, no need to change carbs. You might want to buy a jetting kit for it though as they often come incorrectly jetted for the fuel/climate that it will be used in. they're cheap and easy to change, takes a bit of trial and error before you'll find the optimum setup.

    HP?
    Weight with fuel and oil, curb weight?
    Truly 250cc, or 223cc?

      I just ordered this bike, when It comes I'll try to make a video about specifics because I've had these same questions and info online is pretty vague and there's no real videos on it yet. It's cold where I'm at so probably won't have much riding footage but I wanna look at the adjustment on suspension like preload and rebound if it even has rebound and I'm pretty sure the rear shock is just preload adjustment. It's also advertised as a true 250cc but I'm guessing its the 223 or 229cc cb engine that's in most Chinese bikes. I'm planning on doing the 300cc big bore kit and porting the head with a larger carb anyways. Hopefully I can get some videos out about it because I know folks are curious about it.

      I think your engine will be awesome,
      whether 223cc or 250. My bike's
      suspension is pretty weak, wouldn't take
      it to a mx track, but it is fully awesome
      for single track, and tight technical stuff.

      Yeah just got mine, it does the same thing the carb just needs re jetted. Mine almost seems too rich actually. At idle at least. Just might need smaller jets. I'm no expert is could be lean, I just got my hands on it. Nice thing is it comes with a pretty good carburator unlike the other Chinese bikes. I'm pretty sure it takes nibbi pe 28 jets. this thing is sweet for the price
