Apologies for all who may consider this spam! :twisted:

Not spam. Real info that relates to the forum.

I was reading the comments. I don't know if they are assembled in Ohio like stated or China. It may be that the final touched are done in Ohio.

It doesn't matter. It is still a China bike. Will you be getting the oppurtunity to review one?

[Kawazacky]

Hopefully. We tried to get some seat time on one of their choppers last year but it didn't work out. We're based on Canada's east coast and that makes it tricky to get bikes at times.

I discovered the CCW products at the Vancouver Motorcycle show; I was surprised (as an active CR member) that I knew nothing about them being in Canada before then.

What kind of CR member are you? :roll:

[Weldangrind]

Not active enough, apparently. I need to start posting more.

As always, thanks for posting the report, Zack! :D

I just got a great deal on a used, 2004, CRF250X. :) Therefore, I can see the similarities between my bike and "Tha Hooligan." ;)

The Honda CRF bikes have had a lot of intake valve problems. :( I only bought my used CRF because the previous owner had spent $600 to install aftermarket valve seats and stainless steel, intake valves. ;) I wonder how reliable a Chinese copy of the Honda CRF will be? :roll: Besides design and quality control issues, I fear the Chinese bike will be priced way too high relative to a Honda. :(

Nevertheless, I'm still glad to see the Chinese producing motorcycles with larger engines. :)

Thank you, Stew. :) Of course, I will post some photographs when the weather warms up a bit. ;) Until then, here's a photograph from the Craigslist advertisement.

Great bike! The o-ring and pink wire mod really wake it up

Thank you, WA. :D

Cutting the pink wire raises the rev limiter and changes the ignition mapping to match the CRF250R version of the bike. One can put a switch on the pink wire, and choose between the CRF250X trail settings, and the CRF250R race settings. ;)

The previous owner installed a JD jet kit in the carb with along with accelerator pump modification which accomplishes the same effect as the O-ring mod. ;)

Indeed, this is a nice bike. :) If anyone is interested, I started a new thread on my CRF250X in the Other Stuff Forum. ;)
