New Bashan Storm 250

AWDturboScott · 08-28-2019, 09:56 AM

Hello all! I just picked up a 2018 Bashan Storm 250. I got it from a dealer local to me in Mesa, AZ. Paid a little more than normal ($1799) but it was already setup and ready to go, 1 year registration, and I have a 6 month warranty.

Now that you got the picture posting figured out we will be waiting on more as you do the mods.

Thanks weldangrind!! And absolutely JerryHawk250!! I’m going to knock out the break in as fast as I can and hopefully start upgrading soon!

Good to see another storm. Any plans for mods?

Im in the process of adding an exhaust, adjusting the valves, adding a 12v power point on the handle bars and figuring out why my front rotor warped.

Yes duck9191, Im going to get a phone mount right now lol, but wanna get a new carb, chain, and exhaust pretty soon. Aside from that I am going to look through some more forum posts and go from there!

I would recommend a digital dash, stock one sucks, a lot lol. There are a few of us with them and we have some post on mods. I made one for the cluster swap, ill probably make one for the exhaust too. Tako AKA nzbrakelathes is working on a digital cluster combo too, his will be a kit. He has a pz30b kit too if you want a pumper carb.

thats the thread for the cluster install.

Tako has a carb tuning, valve adjusting and Pumper carb kits. Personally there's no need to buy a new carb. The stock carb is tunable.

duck9191 and JerryHawk250, thank you very much for the info!!! This is going to make things a lot easier and the digital dash sounds like an awesome upgrade, I may have to do that one first!!

I have 95% what’s needed for digital dash
Wheel speed sensor I have a sample the location gap isn’t perfectly where it should be but that’s not important to be fair as it’s just a spacer etc or buy the blue eagle or TT250 wheel sensor if you’re really picky but not a must.
I’d need the info from main plug to repin etc
2 bolt gear indicator switch at motor?

Single bolt gear sensor Tako, that one you had me try was perfect. The speed sensor will work with the index tab anywhere but if you can get them a bit longer then the one I tried that would be helpful. I still haven't found my pinout from the stock cluster, I know I have it somewhere and I'll send it to you.
