    Well, where do I begin? Fate has a funny way of dealing bad cards, and this hand is definitely hard to play. Here's what catastrophic mechanical failure looks like!

    Have you been able to get it fixed yet? I have a choice between a Suzuki Gixxer 150 or the bigboy TSR 250 which would you choose?

      Sadly, no! It seems that simply swapping the piston and valves has not been a straightforward job, and I'm having a hard time getting the bike running again.
      Save yourself the heartache and frustration, buy the Suzuki

    So sorry to hear man, what oil do you use in the TSR and how often did you change it?

    • @CasualRiders
      @CasualRiders  Před 21 dnem

      Sae 30, mineral oil, as instructed in the owners manual

    • @CasualRiders

      And the oil must be changed every 3000 km

      @GamingLife420 do you ride on the open road, or the suburbs? You should still be okay if you're not constantly riding at highway speeds, like I do

      @CasualRiders yeah I prefer to not to Rev the engine high all the time. But lol sometimes you just can't help it, specially if you have a nice exhaust on lol

    I am using the same bike man and l have a problem with the tank
    The tank is leaking down on the cape that as a fuel gauge electric cable
    What is the solution l can use patch (bond) close the leakage?

    • @CasualRiders

      You're going to need to remove the tank, and replace the seal where the wire goes into the tank

      ​@@CasualRidersthanks for sharing. The beauty of the TSR. Easy to take apart. Easy to assemble. Affordable to fix. And whilst doing so one learn much technically. Still a huge fan of the TSR. With current gear ratio rather cruise at 80 or 85. Quite a lot of info on CZcams. Search Hawk 250 dual sport. The guys from the States go big on these. TSR here in SA, HAWK in US. Perhaps consider new sleeve, piston and rings. Keep us posted.

      ​@shawnhove6447 I'm not too sure, you could probably get away with using some seca-flex or gasket maker, but you risk breaking the electrical connection, meaning the guage won't work.

      ​@@tinusvanwyk3008no way I can cruise so slow.... 😂 I can't risk moving slower than the traffic, the fear of being rear ended is overwhelming. Not to mention I'm too impatient
