Blue Eagle Brozz

[chazglenn3]

Well, so far so good :D The bike was just dropped off and with the exception of a couple of tears in the cardboard it looks good. I have to finish the yard work and then I'll get it open.

Looking good

It's nice to see that there are versions of the Brozz with a disc brake out back. Congrats on the bike!

MORE PICS PLEASE!!!! :clap::clap::yay:

Also I don't know if you have seen Jeff's video on the spark plug wire melting because its getting too close to the catalytic convertor. You may want to wrap the spark plug wire or at least tie it up and out of the way before you start the bike.

[chazglenn3]

Thanks! Yes, I have watched all of Jeff's assembly videos and tips, but thanks for the heads up! The only concern I have come across so far is the metal to hold the rear wheel in place is pushed into the tire. Hopefully there is no damage.

[chazglenn3]

This is actually a graduation gift for my nephew from my sister. I ride an FJR1300 but, after this experience I might have to get myself one of these!

[chazglenn3]

First assembly problem. The throttle will not snap shut. I twist it and it stays open. The cable looks okay. Ideas?

[Merlin]

Rerouting the cable usually fixes that. I lubed and rerouted my cable as soon as I got my bike. Make sure the carb is not bound up.

What a pain in the ass mounting that front fender is! I'm really glad Jeff included the longer bolts. After fighting with it for half an hour using the bolts that came with the bike, I remembered the two bolts that were taped to the outside of the box. :doh: The tire appears to be undamaged. I removed the seat to get all of the packing materials off and found a connector undone. I'll look into the throttle cable closer tomorrow. Thanks!

I look forward to your updates. I am considering this bike or a TT250 for the Spring of 2020 and am trying to compare the two. Thanks for your updates.

NICE color and nice bike, you will like!!!!

[chazglenn3]

Complete! Went for a quick ride to the end of the block and back just to make sure everything was working. Only thing that isn't is the fuel gauge. Might be another loose connection. Big difference going from 145hp to 15hp. :lmao:

[JerryHawk250]

Looks great! Like the orange.:tup: there's a connector under the tank that may not be connected.

That orange look edible! Nice bike! Glad to see the rear disk too.

Acknowledging we typically accept NUMEROUS "compromises" with China powersports vehicles . . but the melting sparkplug wire issue should have been found in initial product testing. Have to wonder what it is about "Bashan culture" that prevented "someone from saying something"?

The CSC/Zongshen affiliation appears to offer slightly better quality control.

Quick update: I spoke with Jeff about the fuel gauge issue and he sent me out a new instrument cluster. While I was waiting for it to arrive I did some more digging around and found one of the pins in the connector bent. Works fine after straightening it.

Excellent news! As one of the long-term members here once said, "You have to have a sense of humor to be a China Rider". You may find small stuff here or there that takes a little TLC but all-in-all, they're great values for the $$$ spent.

Glad it was a simple fix!! :yay:

I see the Brozz has a digital dash, does it use a magnetic wheel speed sensor or still a cable?

[chazglenn3]

Magnetic wheel sensor

[duck9191]

Magnetic wheel sensor

Thanks, I have a storm and am converting to a digital speedo and don't want to use the thread in sensor. . I'll see if I can find a replacement one for the Brozz and try that.

[Megadan]

I am liking this version of the Brozz more and more. It's like somebody took notes on what sucked about the first one and what people wanted and actually had that bike made.

So far from what I have seen the only difference between my bike and this on is the rear disc brake.

Unless you were talking about the made to spec Brozz Peace Sports offered then that is a complete different bike then the current Brozz offering.

Dan, you must of missed the whole Brozz thread. I think that was when you were MIA for a while with work and stuff. But that's exactly what Jeff did. When he reintroduced the Brozz it had the standard forks like the Hawk and drum brakes. Pretty much everyone including myself didn't care for it and made suggestions on what he should get built and just like that we get the Brozz everybody liked.

Makes sense to me. If only more of these manufacturers would do that. Now if we could only get that rear swing arm on the hawks...

You can. Just order it through Jeffs website. https://shop.brozz250.com/eshopdetail_cat_5820297.Parts_for_Sale.htm

[Hancadam]

I love the brozz. Very high quality for it's price. I think Jeff and peace have a great thing going.

Reasonable price, fast shipping, excellent bike that has quite a few premium features, and now online parts at good prices.

The swingarm, digital dash, upgraded brake lines, front forks, and counterbalanced engine are what sold me.

I'm approaching 500 miles on mine, not a single complaint.
