UPDATE: First Bike...Please Help!
Hello everyone!
I posted a few weeks ago about ordering my first solo bike. I asked for some advice on mods for the Brozz 250, which has arrived in all its glory! I have assembled it and have started it (kick start only, for some reason I have no electrical power) and it's a dream. I have two questions for you awesome people: As I mentioned, I have no power when I turn the key. I have checked the battery charge, and the connections. Do you guys have any ideas as to what it could be? The instrument cluster does not light up, no electric start, no headlights. It doesn't even try to come on, which is why I'm a little concerned. As I'm sure you all know, kickstarting a cold Chinese bike for the very first time was EXTREMELY difficult. Second: Have any of you adjusted the height of the bike at all? I can barely touch the ground with where it sits now, but I have no experience on how to lower it. Rear shock? Front forks? What are your thoughts? Thank you all for making this my favorite forum and for all your awesome advice! |
Did you check the fuse? Did you try using the remote to start it?

As for your height issue, avoid lowering the bike if you can. Cut the seat down before doing that. The seat on the Brozz looks pretty thick so you might be able to cut quite a bit out. If you don't want to do that, the CSC TT250 Seat concepts might fit your bike. Both look very similar in pictures.
Or you could just put one foot down when stopping. That's what I've been doing with my XF250 sometimes and it seems to be working good for me. I'm vertically and inseam challenged too. :lmao: |

You can lower the back of the bike a couple of inches without harming anything. I lowered the back of my Hawk almost 3 inches (not for height reasons, but for ride and comfort) and it rides, handles, and tracks beautifully. In many ways it is even better.
For the link to my mods list there are pictures of how my bike sits with the Brozz Swing arm and a 280mm shock. |

Plus, cutting and shaping foam is honestly a lot more work than removing the rear wheel and unbolting 2 bolts, swaping the shock out, and putting it back together. I am not against cutting the seat foam though. Honestly, I don't think any modification would need to be done. So all of this can be addressed if/when it comes to it. |

I was also going off the fact that you don't have to get dirty to cut seat foam. You'll have bits of foam everywhere but at least you don't have to get grease and dirt on your hands or gloves. Lol. |
