Megelli 250r

[recracer]

just for starters i've spent some time tonight uploading to photobucket 31 photos up to view for now and i'll get to filling in the story http://s440.photobucket.com/home/recracer/index

Those are really nice quality welds. 8O

Is the "tank" a cover and the real tank lower in the frame somewhere?

The 250 version has been a long time coming...very interested in what you have to say about this bike.

Cheers!

I was thinking the same thing. If that reflects the build quality of the rest of the bike it should be a nice machine.

[recracer]

well past time to get this started here . first impressions . Some know and some don't The bike was damaged in shipping . prize bike with no warranty and no help with the damage , well not that big a deal 30.something dollars and on the road i go . right off the bat . more power than i had been riding (viva 200) an extra gear 6 instead of 5 . really enjoyed the extra power ,it would even bark second gear wow . after that is when it got rough . this bike is sprung way to heavy for my weight and i think bennche may have missed the boat , bringing a bike that stiff . any extended ride is hard on the body , i have to admit that the sport bike ride position turns out to be not for me at least on this bike ,the stiff front end pounds my wrist badly . i got om line and looked for street bike setups on how to adjust sag on the rear spring (only adjustment on it ) this further proved it is way to heavily sprung . all the sag should be from the riders weight ,to get any sag at all i had to adjust it till it was sagging with bike weight 25mm and 5mm more with my weight . It's still stiff ,but better and with some compliance in the rear ,the second gear bark is gone . power can be an illusion ,based on a chassis / suspension being stupid . the problem that got resolve right at the end of the riding season. from day one it had a bad front brake vibration . talked to bennche (no warranty ) so again 30 something dollars OK not to bad . replaced the rotor , took it for a ride . not as bad ,but still front brake vibration was sill there . So another few emails back and forth . i don't want to pay for another rotor , so i asked can you warranty the one i bought . no reply several more e mails no reply . finally one day i looked up and called a bennche megelli dealer in Hanover pa. . he was very helpful with this and said he'd run it through his contact at bennche . several days later got an email from Johnny tai . owner of bennche . he set me up with a contact in china . we had a few convo's and finally sent me a complete front brake setup lever to caliper and rotor . according to the rep in china it was all updated , due to problems . witch was also noted on the motorcycle .com review . well it fixed the vibration and got in a few short rides before i couldn't take the cold weather . overall i think it's a good bike . mods needed to make it a really good bike .

[recracer]

Is the "tank" a cover and the real tank lower in the frame somewhere? The tank is real and the battery is in a really bad place . i need to run some charging leads for winter storage . as I'm writing this the battery is dead and the tank has to come back off . witch also reminds me ,the tank was off ,because the petcock was seeping smelling up my garage . had to fix it before the wife forced me to store it outside.

[recracer]

The welds are much better than we expect from china . should be a nice platform properly sprung and some adjustments would nice to. At this point i haven't spent allot of time looking in to it . my other project came very shortly after this one arrived . 85 gold wing Le witch i hope to have ready for spring . yes a so called geezer cruiser . couldn't pass for the price .

Here is a review from Motorcycle.com

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46CPTf59RDs&feature=related

Cool little commuter bike...

[katoranger]

As will all China bikes they left plenty of room for improvement.

[recracer]

also wanted to mention ,that the 2010 ninja 250s were less than the megelli to-wards the end of the year . i went to a dealer and sat on one . what a difference . suspension complies as you sit on it handle bars are a bit more upright . the megelli's foot pegs are ridged mounted and can give some foot numbness on longer rides . As in the reveiw i did scrape the kick stand once , but not enough to upset the bike .

[katoranger]

I have kept the Ninja 250 in mind as a possible commuter. They are pretty cheap used.

[SpudRider]

Thanks for the update, Racer. :)

Spud :)

[BDIAgencies]

The 250cc is a growing market as I see Honda has there own CBR250R and finally bringing it North America...$4499.00 or $4999.00 for the upgraded ABS..

I contacted Benneche and he told me that they have no plans to bringing the Megelli to Canada at this time...

I would probably stick with the Ninja if I was going to get one...

[katoranger]

The ninja 250 is a pretty good value. Espicially a slightly used one.

[FastDoc]

The CBR looks great but the Ninja would leave it behind as if it were pulling a boat anchor. The Ninja is the same or less money so it's a no brainer to me. The caveat is the CBR can be had with ABS.

I had a 2008 Ninja250R for a season and I really liked that bike. If it were not for the fact I just bought it to repair and sell for a profit I'd have kept it. Plus if it were any color but that Kawasaki green which I don't care for, especially on a streetbike. :roll:

My girlfriend at the time and I rode that bike 5,000 miles in one summer. :D

[recracer]

With some other projects on hold i decided to try a gear change on the megelli . I took some measurements and came up with Jtr819 sprockets as a fit . http://www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&L=0&sel_uid=1612&p= However 41t is all that is listed in this sprocket . i want to try a bigger change . found jtr1825 only thing is center bore is smaller by 4mm , but sizes from 37 to 48 teeth are available . http://www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&L=0&sel_uid=5723&p=[url] I found and bought a 48 tooth on ebay . so when i get it ,I'll be looking to see if opening up the center hole or turning down the wheel ,is a better way to go to give myself more options . this is a chart to show the ratio difference http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli002.jpg

[FastDoc]

Dont change anything on the wheel. Only work on the procket. I'd use a machine shop if you could. The steel the sprockets are made of is very strong and difficult to cut/grind.

Once i have the sprocket in hand and the wheel off , I'll be able to see whats there . I could chuck the sprocket or wheel on a lathe at work . actually just the cushy drive part not the whole wheel

[FastDoc]

If you have access to a lathe and know how to use it (I sure don't :roll: ) that would be your best bet. Considering the sprocket is the cheaper and more easily replaced part that's the one I would modify.

[recracer]

Sprocket in hand . I have to say I'm inclined to machine the sprocket hub and not the sprocket , doing so gives me the easy option of the jtr1825 lineup ( Rear sprocket available in: 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48 teeth ) even the 37t OE size is possible in JT's lineup and i wouldn't have to machine each size to try it . megelli only has a 39 or 40t sprocket as options . here are some photo's . If there's something important I'm missing feel free to yell . http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli005.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli006.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli014.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli011.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli010.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli004.jpg

[FastDoc]

I think either would work but I'd still cut the sprocket rather than the bike part. The sprocket is cheap and easy to replace, the hub is not. Just my 2 cents. :D

[Weldangrind]

After seeing that list of available sprockets, I'd machine the hub. Before you do, have you identified which hub yours is based on?

[recracer]

Seems to be suzuki bolt pattern . jtr819 is a close fit ,but harder to find and fewer sizes .
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/jtr819.jpg 80-81 gs250 Rear sprocket available in: 37, 39, 46, 47 teeth . Bolt holes would need to be opened to 10.5

[SpudRider]

I would definitely machine the hub, Racer. ;) You only need to remove 2mm from the hub's radius, and you will have a much larger selection of sprockets to choose from. :)

Spud :)

[Cal25]

Looks easier to me to chuck up the hub and cut it down to fit the new sprocket. Maybe use an engraver on the hub to mark the new sprocket model # so it will be easier for you or the next owner to ID when it comes time to change the sprocket.

Excellent logic. :D

[FastDoc]

I have been soundly outvoted!

Anyway, make it fit and let us know how it works! :D

Thanks for posting the photos. As always, you did a nice job. :)

[recracer]

Anyway, make it fit and let us know how it works! :D your point was well taken Doc . I looked up the hub price just in case . less than 50.00 usd plus shipping . The lathe i have available to me ,is our brake lathe . not a real lathe ,but have used it before on non rotor or brake drums projects . adapt and over come . anyway it makes circles you just have to figure out how to get the bit where you need it . :) i don't know if anyone looked at the numbers on the gear compare . the megelli was already quicker than the viva . even with that high gearing . 48t should be a blast . I'm thinking maybe the top end may be faster ,because 6th gear ran out of torque at a pretty low rpm .

[katoranger]

Lathe, I would just use an angle grinder. :wink:

[SpudRider]

Lathe, I would just use an angle grinder. :wink:
Angle grinder? I would just use a Dremel tool. ;)

Spud :lol:

[ChinaV]

Really nice work recracer, be curious to know what kind of top speed you are getting now. Also one other question...was there any kind of cush drive unit in the hub?

Cheers!

Cheers!
ChinaV I have seen 80mph And if i remember correctly around 6200 rpm . one reason i don't really remember for sure . it has about 400 miles on it . most of that was slower riding ,due to a bad brake vibration and not being broken in . just got the vibration fixed and winter set in really fast at that point
Yes it does have cush drive setup .

[recracer]

hopefully I'll get to try this out this weekend ,we may see near 50F . This sprocket looks huge to me on the bike http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli016.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli017.jpg The kickstand looks like some grinding in the right spot here would allow it to tuck in a little tighter http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli021.jpg Off topic . Has anyone ever seen a goldwing with a car alternator , My other project http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/GL1200%20%20limited%20edition/GearComparisonMegelli019.jpg Guess i should say ,i added the alternator http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/GL1200%20%20limited%20edition/GearComparisonMegelli018.jpg

[FastDoc]

GREAT PICS!!!

The Megelli is SUCH as good looking motorcycle. It could pass for a Ducati anywhere. :D

That Gold WIng is unique in creation. I've never seen anything like it. Did Larry The Cable Guy do the charging system? :P

[recracer]

Doc I added the alternator . gl1200 goldwings have high stator failures . many gl1200 owners have installed a kit similar to this . I'm not big on buying kits ,so I'm creating this setup myself . charging system was what put this goldwing down with low mileage

[FastDoc]

Amazing.

I can't imagine all the steps you must have put into making that work!

I don't know much about the earlier Wings, except they were cool.

[katoranger]

Okay, we will need more info and pics on the wing in the other stuff forum. :lol: The charging system looks like it almost belongs.

That sprocket looks good on the megelli. Can't wait to see how it performs.

[recracer]

I high jacked my own thread . i don't have many photos of this .conversions are well documented on other forums for gl1200 goldwings.

[recracer]

Quick ride this morning .Still cold and very windy . i wasn't sure at first if i could run at speed . the wind was kicking me all over the place . impressions . i went to far , but 0 to 60 as fast as i can shift ,first gear bangs the rev limit faster than i can get to second gear . as much fun as that is , 72 MPH at 9500 rpm is not where i had hoped to be . I'm waiting for Daniel from megelli china to get back to me on what front sprockets are a fit on the engine side . this front gear has more like splines ,unlike the vive 200 . from what I've see it could be a match for Yamaha or Suzuki front sprockets . i have not pulled it off to get any measurements on it
Could be even more fun on warmer days and twisty roads or a go cart track ,but not on the highway or full size road course

[FastDoc]

Please remind me, is your bike a 5 or 6 speed?

[recracer]

Please remind me, is your bike a 5 or 6 speed? it is a 6 speed doc . that Mph of 72 has not been gps verified http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli002.jpg

[recracer]

Are you thinking what i've been thinking all day Doc . Some where here these numbers are not adding up . Just sent another message to megelli china to try and verify the ratios quoted in the owner manual .

[FastDoc]

Yup. That's what I was thinking.

It turns out your move to modify the hub rather than the sprocket was a good one! :idea:

so full throtle and you were going 72 MPH ? I verified top speed with the Zongshen GS 250 with my buddie's truck next to me and I was doing 79MPH full throtle and I only have 5 gears ... weird

[FastDoc]

As it stands the Megalli is limited by 6th gear redline, not drag.

[recracer]

so full throtle and you were going 72 MPH ? I verified top speed with the Zongshen GS 250 with my buddie's truck next to me and I was doing 79MPH full throtle and I only have 5 gears ... weird It's been over 80mph before the rear sprocket change , also keep in mind , I've pressed very little . less than 500 miles on it . i would be interested in your owners manual ratio information ,for comparison .

[recracer]

I guess it does work . tire size 130/70-17 23.5 dia divided by 2= 11.75 ( .006 x 11.75 x 9500 rpm = 669.75 ) 669.75 divided by final ratio 9.451 = 70.866 Mph given speedo and tach error tolerance. Taking the the oe final drive ratio of 7.290 , 669.75 divided by 7.290 = 91.87 MPH if drag was not a factor or the engine had more power to push threw the drag.

[recracer]

The first test ride ,i had no problem . that i noticed anyway . I rode to work on Thursday and when i got there noticed some metal flakes shining in the sun light ,on the rear swing arm . The 48tooth sprocket is to large . http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/recracer/Megelli%20250r/GearComparisonMegelli017problem.jpg there some minor clearance problem here on the chain and swing arm . I cleaned if off and the ride back home ,saw no further self clearancing has accured . I'm sure that some grinding and welding could make this work fine . In my case This ratio is to low ,so i have a 40 tooth sprocket ordered and i will replace the plastic guard that now has a chain groove in it .

[recracer]

OK i have the 40 tooth sprocket in hand . I have not installed it yet . I've been thinking and i hate to say it after everyones hard work . although this was a prize bike ,the cost was much more than saving the money and buying it . after spending from march though august 1 fully focused on that contest . My wife insisted that i reengage family life . of course she was right and extremely patient during the whole process . all is well with the family . The bike doesent really fit for what i do ,altough it's fun to jump on and take for short trips ,but thats all it does . i need to redirect focus on the goldwing and the engine project on the viva . I may sell it . not sure yet ,just tossing the idea around .

[Weldangrind]

I can appreciate all of that Ron. Perhaps another China Rider would like to keep it in the family. We all worked hard for it, and I'm sure we'd all like to see it go to a good home. :D

No problema, Ron. I am very glad you won the bike! :D We enjoyed helping you win the contest, and we all learned a lot during the process. ;)

Just make sure you give the Chinarider community first dibs on it. :D

[katoranger]

I got hours into that bike. :wink:

Spud :)

[Weldangrind]

I was happy to contribute, although I won't be voting in online contests anytime soon. :lol:

I heard from Saga that they are working on importing the Megelli into Canada; I'm looking forward to seeing one up close.

[recracer]

absolutely and I'll never enter one again . i may buy lottery tickets, no work involved . speaking of that , all the work in this voting thing . my younger brother just won a new pickup on a scratcher . 48k to spend on the truck Chevy or Ford of his choice . he said to me were lucky lately . i said no your lucky .my win was an incredible amount of work.

[recracer]

UPDATES I finally installed the 40tooth rear sprocket . this i believe is a good size for this bike . 80mph fairly easy to get to with more to be had . oe 37 tooth would go 80mph on flat ground ,but hard to maintain . however more problems to fix , found more metal flaking from the rear swing arm ,even with the 40tooth down from the 49 i had tried . turn signals stopped working . i also filled the gas tank and kept smelling gas . gas was seeping under the tank . so off with the tank to find that ,gas was coming from the brassed on petcock and sending unit fittings ,not the threaded parts . at the brassing . also it has a vacuum type petcock that was also sucking fuel through it . so i sent an email to megelli and i am waiting now for a complete tank . to include fuel sender for the gauge ,manual petcock (update they no longer use vacuum style ) . and they are sending updated controls and grips to help with the turn signal problem . while waiting on these parts i decided to work on other things since it is slightly apart anyway . i have always wanted to flip the shock over ,there is an air valve on the top . impossible to get to to add air and the threaded collars on top . by no means are these as easy to work on as the dual sport bikes . something had to be done about this swing are and chain interference .

[Weldangrind]

Thanks for letting us know about the 40 vs 37 tooth sprocket. You seem to have found the gearing that works with the available torque. What is the front sprocket size?

The stock welds are really nice. I've yet to own a CB that doesn't need help in the chain slider area, and I've used UHMW for that purpose.

[recracer]

sorry i totally missed that weldangrind . it has a 13 tooth front and i have not figured out a compatable front sprocket .

[recracer]

still waiting on a gas tank and handle bar switches . i just looked at the Bennche.com website and i am guessing that thay are phasing motorcycles out . only bike shown now is the 250r gone are the motard and the naked . witch makes me ask myself ,if i don't get the parts then what ?

I'm sorry to hear you're still waiting for parts, Racer. :( However, thank you for giving us the update. :)

[recracer]

Well Here we are January ,26 2012 . after e-mail coversations with the uk and china . once again the comuication has dried up and no parts . looks like i may be on my own ,to repair the bike .

[FastDoc]

That does suck and is a shining example on why Chinabikes, despite being a decent value, won't catch on in our country(ies).

Little or no after the sale support. :(

[Weldangrind]

That sucks.

Have you considered changing the petcock to a non-vacuum type? BTW, I've had excellent luck with Permatex Cold Weld for tank repair. It actually says that it is suitable for fuel tank repair, whereas JB Weld doesn't.

[recracer]

(We lost US market due to its serious EPA regulation so it may take time for use to reproduce a fuel tank fit to your demand. However, we shall do it by all means.) megelli gone from the usa . Bennche should be giving the last ones away . new e mail today, still hopeful

[Weldangrind]

This has to be the most expensive free bike ever, in money and time. I wore out a mouse trying to get that bike for you. :lol:

[FastDoc]

That sucks. :?

[recracer]

my Question is , Do we really need this much EPA on single cylinder machines . future will be to difficult to get anything at a reasonable price ,at this rate .

[MICRider]

Were kind of in the same boat here in Canada except the chinabikes cost twice as much to start with... There were only a couple of different dual sports that were street legal here and with Konker disappearing there is one less. I hate to say it, but I would think long and hard before I would ever consider getting another chinese machine here. Not only do we have to pay almost japanese prices, but there's no guarantee that the company we bought it from will even exist a year down the road. Kind of funny, just when I thought the chinese machines would start to take off it looks more likely that theyre going extinct...

[SpudRider]

Where can I get a megelli in the USA!?

[recracer]

Where can I get a megelli in the USA!? Most likely you would need to contact Bennche , directly to see if a dealer near you stocks one . http://bennche.com/contact.php I do wonder why you would want an unsupported bike

[Le_Thon]

I am just curious, they look like very cool bikes. What is the price like on these bikes?

[recracer]

I am just curious, they look like very cool bikes. What is the price like on these bikes? 3500.00

[recracer]

Looking for opinions , About selling the Megelli . We know these sold for 3500 ,3600 when new . Now these are Orphan bikes, with no Us support . It still has less than 1000 miles on the clock . What would be a fair price to ask ?

[SpudRider]

I would check the NADA and Kelly Blue Book guides for prices on a comparable Ninja 250R, then reduce the price accordingly. ;)

[recracer]

megelli has found a new home . A young lady learning to ride . her words (i absolutely love it )

[FastDoc]

I am glad to hear it! If she's young and flexible and is good at routine repairs (or has a boyfriend who is) it will be a great first bike. :D

[recracer]

yes the boyfriend will do the maintenance ,rides a Yamaha 636 i think he said . he's a bit of a crazy rider , said he has gone down many times he is very proud to say . so i told her learn at your pace not his . she has had the bike a few weeks and is still in love .

[SpudRider]

Thanks for posting the update, Racer. I'm very glad the Megilli has found a good home. :)
