1800 miles on the 2020 Brozz 250

1800 miles and three oil changes down since April. Tightened the chain about 5 times, lost a heat shield screw and bolt for tool box. Steel wired both instead of replacing screw.
Had battery die twice, didn’t like to charge. I pulled the alarm and remote start and battery has been great since. Replaced tail lightbulb with LED. Sourcing a working led headlight replacement, led bulb swap failed, don’t know if bulb, bike or me.
Headlight is basically worthless, can’t see more then 30ft in front at night. Cars wash me out and cast shadows from behind. Tried adjusting, can’t find good spot for both dim and bright.
Changed clutch pedal after folding last one in half laying it down in yard. Bent handlebars twice on falls, bent back to close original, paint flaking at bends.
Changed spark plug this last oil change, boot is cracked need to replace. Old plug was whiteish at tip, no build up. Looks like lean running, or too hot.
Tightened spokes 1-2 a week at least.
Bright light button is faulty, won’t always stay on or switch, click is good, need to pull apart.
Noticing a small drop in power, speedo tops out at 68 now instead of 72.
Had bike run real funny in a heavy rain. No real horsepower, idled bad, catalytic converter was glowing red while diagnosing on roadside, rev meter would flash odd bars and then disappear. Would be fine for two minutes then need to sit for ten. Dried out after two days in the sun and ran fine. Don’t know what shorted, but got some dielectric grease and have been touching up connections as I go.
Gas tank lid bolts are starting to rust and some water sits in cap area. Keyhole for tank is stiff, have to lean on latch side to ease release. Have felt the key flex.
All in all, still fun, still learning. Drove up to bonfire in field and nobody heard me pull up and park 10 ft behind them. Got crap for stealth bike.
