I haven't seen any information posted where these manufacturers acknowledge they are using the Zongshen engine. However, I don't have any doubt it is the NC250 engine. You can't mistake the distinctive features of this engine, and the manufacturers are listing the exact bore, stroke, and other specifications for the NC250 engine.

Friends, thank you for that answer questions. Yes, I see that these motorcycles ustnavlen Zongshen engine, but would like an official confirmation. Especially GasGas many fans did not want to believe that GasGas can use Chinese engine. Apologies for the English, I use Google translator.

Some of the Gas Gas fans realize the engine is from China, but they don't know it is a Zongshen NC250 engine. You might enjoy reading the following threads.

You're welcome. Here is a closeup view of the left side of the engine in the Gas Gas motorcycle. You can see the ZS177MM marking on the crankcase.



Here is a photograph of the Zongshen ZS177MM engine for comparison.

That's really cool! I'd be re-routing that clutch cable, both for the vent hose and to get away from the exhaust header.

Rubber hose - a "breather", rather than prentsipialno he was a little pinched. Here he simply sent down without afterburning crankcase gases, although it is not environmentally friendly:

Just put my deposit down on a Red RX-3! Had to go with color I haven't had on a bike. Had an Orange & Blue one already and I hear ther red ones will fall down less

Also new posts on the CSC blog, out riding the Cyclone with the ADV Moto and Pulse guys. I'd be interested in hearing their opinions and even more telling any of them on the order list

An important safety tip that I hadn't considered!

Good for you.

I must be doing something wrong. I drop my red bikes all the time.

I would love to read the reviews from ADV Moto and ADV Pulse. I wonder how long it will take them to post?
