2017 Bashan Enforcer

So I am really new to CR forum to start out with.

I actually intended to buy a Honda CRF250L but after talking to my bank I was actually going to need to put down the same amount that the Enforcer cost and have payments for the next 2 years.....screw that.

I was debating the Hawk, the Brozz and the Enforcer but liked the Enforcer best so I ordered it today.Most of all because it seems to be really easy to register and http://www.apscusa.com has great reviews.

There is a huge following for the Hawk and they look almost identical so I have a few questions for the experts.

Here we go:

1.How interchangeable are the parts? I haven't been able to find what carb the Enforcer has, I am assuming something similar to the Hawk. I plan on adding some after market parts and mods. Air box, exhaust, jets......and most of all the digital speedo.

2. Hawk hand guards...can they be used?

3.What are the bikes based off of? I have heard Honda but year and make would be great. May be an easy way to get parts that need little retro fitting like an FMF exhaust.


Anyone else have this bike that has some helpful info?

Your first statement is why many of us went with China Bikes. Sticker shock will make the brain do funny things.

1- Most parts on most Hondoids are interchangeable. Brakes, levers, many of the motors, etc.... They're readily available on A,azon, EBay, Tao Bao, etc...

2- You can fit most handguards that fit 7/8" bars.

3- The engines are CG Honda clones, originally 125's. Honda never imported in to the US but most everywhere else. It's a VERY reliable motor. The bike/frame itself is the latest greatest coming out of China. It's the newest generation of their stuff. I'm not sure if it's based off of anything. Someone else can chime in.

The Enforcer is a pretty good stock bike. This is what I did to mine.

Ebay exhaust: Just need to work the pipe around the airbox. Mark some points and bend and hammer so that there is a 3/4 inch gap. I used a little heat wrap like MOTOCHEEZ

Carb: The stock jet on the Enforcer is a 105. I upgraded to a 110 and looking to a 115. They just screw in and out. There are tons of threads with links to Amazon and Ebay

Tubes: Highly suggest ordering some heavy duty tubes. The stock tubes are as thin as bicycle tubes and the seems will split.

LED bulbs: Look for replacement bulbs to ease the charging system.

Gearing: The gearing is already upgraded to a smaller rear sprocket.

Wow thanks for the fast responses. I am hoping to have the bike by the end of next week. I called the dealer that is listed in Tennessee and he said it takes two to three days to process and a couple days to ship so hopefully those are worst case scenario numbers and come sooner. Looking forward to this bike.

So with those questions out of the way...

What fluids should I change before riding? I have heard a lot of people on here say to change the brake fluid, fork fluid, and the oil. Any recommendations on type or brand for all three?

Some people will tell you to run it as is, but I am against that thought process. Just because they did it and it was fine doesn't mean it was a good idea. Most of the fluids and oils in these bikes are there for shipping purposes. None of them are expensive or difficult to change to a good known brand fluid.

Brake fluid, DOT 3 or DOT 4. Either will work fine, but most people opt for DOT 4. Both can be found at the parts store.

Forks - there are two mentalities here. Many use ATF, and even OE Manufacturers for the longest time would use ATF and recommend it in their forks.
I suggest a good name brand fork oil. Purpose built fork oil has anti-foaming agents to help keep the fluid stable during operation. Brand wise, there are a lot of good choices. Maxima, Valvoline, Lucas, Pro Honda, PJ1, Yamaha, etc. Personally, I love PJ1 or Pro Honda, but they will all do the job. Depending on your weight and personal preference you can run different weights to tailor how the bike behaves. I run a 15wt oil in mine, and it is usually a good starting point since it sits right in the middle of the scale.

Engine oil - everybody has opinions on what is best, so take your pick. As long as the oil is JASO rated oil for use with wet clutches. I use Shell Rotella T4 15w-40 in both of my bikes. It's a great proven oil, it's affordable, and it can be found damn near everywhere. You can buy a 4 quart jug of it from Wal Mart for about 13 bucks, and a typical CG250 engine takes about 1.5 quarts to get to the middle of the sight glass with the bike vertical, so 2 jugs = 6 oil changes for $26

Also, make sure to set the valve clearances before running the engine. They will come with 0 lash adjustment, and should be set to .003, plus or minus .001. Many people run .003 intake and .004 exhaust, but you can set them both the same.

Well, I am still waiting for the Enforcer to arrive. I was hoping www.apscusa.com had time to sort out the issues on their delivery time but I guess they have not. I have heard a lot of complaints lately but I was hoping it was figured out. After multiple phone calls and several estimates I am now being told it will not ship before the end of next week.

I am more patient than my wife....but I am getting my butt chewed because there is $1500 missing from my account and nothing to show for it. Really need the China bike gods to move this along...tired of being told "shoulda bought the Honda" lol.

So much for 2-3 days to process then ship.

Sorry to hear they STILL don't have their act in order!? When Kandi USA was distributing the Bashan Brozz and Shark, I referred several people to my friend Alan from Excalibur Motorsports, but Kandi only ordered a few containers of those bikes, and they ran out; Alan does not deal with the company that distributes the Enforcer and Storm, so those are left to the flaky dealers, unfortunately.

Is there a somewhat reputable dealer that has any Storms still in stock? This might sound crazy, but I'm seriously considering another Bashan when money gets better around here....possibly setting up one for 100% street commuter, the other would never see the pavement.

According to SPS, they have them in stock. Not a bad price either.

They do not seem to have any physical address listed on their website.

And the BBB gives what appears to be this business an "F".

I am also very interested in the Bashan Storm, but I also cannot seem to find a dealer that doesn't have a horrible reputation with places like the Better Business Bureau.

I don't have a reason to bash this business and this is only my opinion based on what I found at the BBB listing for what appears to be this business. No offense intended.

From the left coast bay area, pricy on this one but they do answer the telephone. They must know the db08's are a rare bird now.

Bought my bashan from them , took a while just like every body else but they are not shysters and have a reputable business.

got my storm from sps, got it in about a week or 10 days ... they even replaced a cracked plastic cover at no cost to me, just asked for pics of the bike ... i did use paypal, and i think that helps a lot ...$1550 shipped ... changed the carb and jets, and the oil (and it only takes 1 quart) when my 2nd low beam blew out (i would replace the headlight) i think it shorted out my alarm and remote start ... other than that, no problems ... also, one kick, no choke cold or hot, with a vm26 clone with 115/40 jets, but is a little rich with stock exhaust and filter

I got my Brozz from Superior Power Sports. It arrived with a broken side cover which they replaced. It arrived fairly quickly I did wait a few extra days for the MCO.
All in all I would buy from them again.
