Boy.....it's been quiet. There's either a ton of TT250's going out to folks who don't post here, or China Riders have been receiving them and have been having too much fun riding to post pics!

That's kind of like when it's quiet at the dinner table thing.

At 58 miles I decided to check the stock plug (LG D8TC) and thought it looked like it was running rich. Could already see carbon buildup on the piston (see pic) which may be normal but went ahead and replaced with a standard NGK. Live close to sea level (about 100 feet). Now at 146 miles the NGK is looking similar, but a bit more gray on the side electrode and running pretty good as it breaks in. Have a new Denso Iridium on order to give a try. Also replaced the factory oil at 106 miles which was looking pretty dark. Used Castrol 10w40 4t motorcycle oil. Having a blast zipping around on this thing, but still not comfortable on fast busy roads since getting up to 50mph takes a bit. Hit 60mph today for a short stint based on my GPS (speedo indicated about 55).

157 miles now. Actually enjoying riding this more than my previous bike (yamaha FZ1) due to the simple fun factor of it. Very nimble and maneuverable. Just went out for another spin exploring around.

I like the TT250 but I just look at it as a little bit better Hawk 250 more street tires looks like the same engine specs so it probably tops out at 60 ish mph WOT. Nice bike tho the RX3 Cyclone tho seems interesting if it was cheaper but at that price I would probably upgrade to a Honda CRF250L. Just my opinion...

Sounds like the TT250 might not be a good fit for your needs. I think it might be for mine. I'm going to have fun finding out once I get mine in the next few weeks.

I wouldn't be too worried about how the plug looks until it's broke-in completely and you do your first oil change. Odds are there's oil scooting past things (like rings and valve guides) now that it won't be later.

SWEET! I ordered mine on the same day! Hopefully I'll hear something soon.
I may have missed the call though.... It's not a Duc Hypo but I did take a nice ride this morning on my RX3! ;-)
