I have been (re)assimilated! Zongshen GS250
It looks pretty good for $200 gentlemen! :D
I am pleased to know its a cousin to Brother Spud's outstanding GY200. Knowing this is a Yamaha clone is great news. :P It has nice tripple disc brakes, upside down forks, cool matte two tone paint, a super comfortable seat, what looks like an aluminum swingarm, very nice alloy wheels and Cheng Shin tires, and a halogen headlight. The prior owner said it needed a coil because it did not have spark so I bet it's the CDI 8) . The fuel was not stabilized when parked a year ago so I anticipate a carb cleaning in my future too :cry: . Almost not a scratch on it, no leaks. Crack in windscreen, tip missing on clutch lever, and it will need a batteryt I'm sure. Other than that I'm good to go. Thank God I know a Zongshen parts dealer! :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06473.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06472.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06471.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06470.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06469.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06468.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06466.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06464.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06463.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06462.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06474.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...shen_gs250.jpg |
Wow! Good score Doc. :D You should donate that engine to Spud, so he'll donate his to me. :lol:

I just powerwashed it and it cleaned up real nice. 8)
I need data gentlemen. :idea: Which oil filter? What are the valve clearance specs? I assume I set them the same as Spud's Zong tutorial. I'll pull the battery and put in on the charger and hope for the best. If I confirm there's no spark, which I expect, I'll get a new CDI and start from there. I'll change the brake fluid, replace the gas, set the valves, fix a crack on the inner rear fender, check the electrics, oil and adjust the chain, and get her ready to run. It seems to be a fine machine. So far the build quality is the equal of Q or a Zong GY or any inexpensive japabes machine. |

http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8673 It also appears you might have the same, inverted forks as my Zongshen 200GY-2. Please take off the seat, and the plastic; I would love to see photos of your naked Zong! Take it off! Take it all off! :oops: :roll: I think you might also have the same Teikei, MV28 carburetor as my 200GY-2. I would love to see photos of the airbox, as well. :D Welcome back to The Collective, Billcutus of Zong! We missed you! :D Resistance was futile. You have been reassimilated! 8) http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/q...ceisfutile.gif Spud :D |
LOL Brother Spud!
I started taking it apart. Here's the CDI, what looks like a turn signal beeper I'll disconnect, and the battery and RR. The carb is made in Japan but I don't know what brand. Engine numbers included if it helps you guys dig up info for me. :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06485.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06484.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06483.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06482.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06481.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06480.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06479.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06478.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06477.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06476.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC06486.jpg |

When will the others learn? Resistance is futile! 8) http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/q...nim_resist.gif Spud :) |
Wow! Grats Doc, that's a sweet looking machine! I would say that you scored bigtime with that one :D
Round these parts, for $200 you might get that frame from that bike that W&G bought for the engine... Incredible deals in the US. Cheers, Stew P.S. I knew you couldn't resist another project :) |
We'll see how good it is when I get it to run. :roll:

You have a Teikei, MV30 carburetor, slightly larger than my Zong's Teikei, MV28 carburetor. All the Zong carburetor information I posted in the Zong Sticky applies; you can use the same Mikuni jets. :D You scored big, oh wise physician! Welcome back to The Zong Collective! :D P.S. More photos, please! :lol: Let's see the forks, wheels, brake calipers, et cetera! :D Spud :) |

Spud :lol: |
Plus... It looks kick a$$ (please pardon my french, but it does!)

One of your TK, MV30 carburetor photographs is upside down, Doc. ;) Here's the left side of the carburetor, shown right side up. :lol:
http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/q...buretorjpg.jpg The Teikei, MV28 carburetor on my Zong is virtually identical to the Teikei, MV28 carburetor on the current, 2010, Yamaha TW200 motorcycle. :) Your ZS250GS has a slightly larger, Teikei, MV30 carburetor. ;) You got Zongshen quality for your $200, Brother Bill. :D Spud :) |
Your ZS250GS swingarm should also fit the ZS200GY-2, dual sport motorcycle, Doc. ;) I think your street bike might employ a progressive shock linkage. :) When you have time, please post photos of the swingarm, rear wheel, shock linkage, et cetera. We might discover an easy way for Zongshen 200GY-2 owners to upgrade their rear suspensions! :D
Spud :) |
The smaller, ZS200GS motorcycle is very popular in the Philippines. ;) Here's a link to a popular, Philippino motorcycle forum. :) I imagine the ZS200GS bike employs the same, ZS167FML engine as my Zongshen, 200GY-2 motorcycle. ;)
http://motorcyclephilippines.com/for...play.php?f=132 The ZS250GS appears to employ the same stator and magneto as my ZS200GY-2 motorcycle. :) Therefore, the left crankcase cover, and sprocket cover from the ZS250GS should fit the Zongshen, dual sport motorcycle. ;) Instead of modifying the 200GY-2, left crankcase cover, Zong dual sport owners should be able to purchase the ZS250GS parts instead. :D Spud :) |
