BMS Enduro 250: Counterbalanced or not

[thedakotakid]

Hello all,

I searched, but did not find this answer: Is the SOHC CG250 in the BMS Enduro 250 counterbalanced or not? I think I read before it was not and I did not notice a bulge in the engine case. I am still debating if that is really a deciding factor too.

I am leaning towards the Brozz 250, but I would like the taller seat/tires. This model has 19/21 tires. I did read about both the Northrider and wedooit reports. They seem to have had good results with this model.

Thanks!

It isn't the balance shaft engine. BTW it's not an overhead cam engine.

Not that I am surprised by the discrepancy, but the engines look different on the TX motorsports site and the BMS site. Both state a SOHC, but the BMS photos show an engine with the removable covers to adjust the valves, the TX motorsports video shows a 'Hawk' style engine (remove the top)

It's interesting that Bashan has this on the same certification as the other Bashan bikes (this list is from the listing of bikes all approved: BROZZ 250, BSR 250, CR250, DK250, MOTOMAX 250, PRS 250, Razer 250, STORM 250--the BMS CRP is the CR250) but manages to use a different engine. Then again, so does the BSR 250, aka DB-250-41H (the one that looks nearly identical to the Hawk) which seems to use the same engine as the BMS bike. Interestingly, and I haven't corresponded with the N. American Bashan rep in months, but the last time I emailed he said that BMS was going to get their bike CARB certified as well for California (only the BMS bike even though its MCO and VIN# make it a Bashan bike). But, later on he said they had changed their mind; I am guessing dealing with their own state changed their mind!

So what Engine really comes on the BMS CRP Enduro it does not look like a OHC Engine Please help Rick0313

The page's tech specs say SOHC 4 stroke 4 valve. None of these cheap bikes have 4 valve heads, so that tells you all you need to know right there.

Also says 67mm/65mm bore and stroke and 229cc

They took the information directly from the BMS website for this bike too. That's the sad part. The BMS web page also says 15.42hp.

Pictures of the engine in the bike, the horsepower rating, the bore/stroke, and stated displacement scream it's a CG250, which is OHV not OHC.

That looks nearly identical to my 2020 Bashan Storm. It is a good bike. It has the 230cc 14hp pushrod clone. Mine had the counterbalanced version, but otherwise this bike looks the same.

If you look at the second photo in this thread, you will see the finned protrusion in the lower front of the crankcase. THAT is the counterbalance shaft.

No, it's not counterbalanced. I bought mine from TXPS.

Run of the mill CG250.



The BMS website is inaccurate.

Good information. Thanks.

Did you buy the lowering links for your Temp X?

Not yet, ended up buying a ZS190 for the Storm 150 instead.
