The Zongshen TT 250 is Coming

[SpudRider]

CSC is definitely going to import the Zongshen TT Special. The bike is currently undergoing EPA certification tests.

That's good news and must mean that the RX3 has been a financial success so far. Hope to see them import a whole line of Zongshen bikes in the future.

Maybe I can order an oil pump chain when they get their parts stock in place.

Is your oil pump chain similar to a cam chain? If so, maybe you could make one. Forum member nevernuf removed links from a cam chain that was too long for his OHC engine, using this tool: http://world.taobao.com/item/1841252...u=82e9r01sd57b

It's a similar idea to the plate type cam chains but only 3 plates wide and very tiny. My guess is that most CG engines with a balance shaft use the same oil pump chain.

I like it, but it needs to come with a rear rack, to make it easier to install some luggage, or haul stuff (just a suggestions for while they are testing it)

I agree. I think all dual sport bikes need a strong luggage rack.

I believe it has a rack, looks exactly like my Hawk. The rear cast aluminum rack doesn't look like much of a rack, but it is very useful. Works as well or better than the 1'st generation chinabike tubular racks, and is more attractive in my opinion.

Pricing is not yet confirmed right? Very nice looking bike.

That's correct. I haven't seen any official price listed. However, the CSC Blog hints we are going to learn more in the near future.

I believe this bike has an actual 250cc engine. In addition, CSC has ordered the bikes with USD forks, and disc brakes on both wheels.

I'd be interested in a confirmation. I've yet to see an actual 250cc CG engine that is not liquid cooled. It is more likely to be either 223cc or 230cc.

If my memory is not failing me, Joe Berk told me it is a 249cc Zongshen engine. I believe either HumanBeing, or Joe, can verify such a motor exists.

I had several questions to ask, so I called CSC today. I inquired regarding the engine size of the TT Special. CSC did believe the engine was 249cc, but they discovered they were wrong. Once again, you are correct my friend.

Spud,

Did they say what the bore and stroke are, or the engine number?

You are correct, the actual displacement is 230cc's, or eight fluid ounces.
What else do you know for sure about the CSC's TT250 bike?

If you're asking me, I only know what I see. CG (pushrod) counterbalanced motor, inverted forks, disc front and rear, air injection reaction device in the exhaust, Keihin-style carb and what looks to be a comfy saddle. Sharp bike.
