ChinaRiders Forums - View Single Post - New CSC TT250/Hawk BETTER than 1970s Japanese bikes?

My initial impressions of the quality of components on my TT250 was better than expected. The swingarm and axle adjusters/plates are the only really glaring cheesy quality parts. The assembly quality is somewhat suspect with tool marks on certain fasteners, etc. Overall though, especially given the reputation these CG engines have, I think it’s reasonable to expect long reliable service from this bike as long as you stay on top of keeping it looked after. If you were to just take it out of the box and ride it without any TLC then I’m certain things would start falling off at a rate higher than ‘70s Japanese bikes. Just my opinion based on my own experience.
