My TBR7 did run kinda lean but it started and rode ok from the start.I changed the carb at 100 miles though but I didn’t have to.It did make the bike accelerate better and the kickstarter work first kick😁

I bought a CSC TT250 and couldn't be happier. Put close to 5K miles on it in a year with no serious issues. Rode it through a Buffalo NY winter. I did make a carb adjustment, just changing the needle setting and I also changed the rear sprocket. Outside of that, kept everything stock. I couldn't be happier with the bike. CSC is a little more expensive but the bike arrived assembled, and tested. Put the mirrors on, turn the key and the bike started right up. IMHO, well worth the little extra cash, not to mention fantastic customer service, and supper easy to get parts direct from CSC. I'll probably order another one next year after I get one more winter out it.

No sir, not me. I think I know the channel you're talking about though. Great videos for sure.

Best? Or least expensive/most value? Best is probably the SSR XF250. It has a clone of the Suzuki TU250 motor, which is far more powerful than the CG250 clones, and also just as reliable - if not moreso. It's also 249cc instead of the CG's 229cc. That extra displacement and better motor design provides a LOT more torque, which makes the bike capable of holding freeway speeds. It also has wider tires, which are more suited to trail exploring. Plus you can walk into a dealership and ride the bike home -- IF there's a dealership near you. (There are two within 45 minutes of me, and I'm on the East Coast, so there is likely one near you unless you live in a rather unpopulated state)
Second would be the CSC TT250. Though it has the CG motor, that motor is completely reliable, if under-powered. The warranty and price of the CSC is pretty much out of this world. It depends on what your priorties are. Charles. |

I had a 40 minute chat with the owner yesterday and he spent a good deal of time going reassuring me that SSR has gotten its act together when it comes to parts. He even looked up parts/prices for parts that SSR had told me were unavailable several years ago, and told me that he has actually been discussing an online parts store with SSR. I am feeling a bit more optimistic about SSR as a result. I'm taking the bike in for service tomorrow and the owner offered to check parts compatibility with the TU250x when I mentioned a few things I want to do to the bike soon. Holding off on the RE Himalayan purchase as long as I can locate parts for my SSR.

Every part I've needed for my SSR Buccaneer has been in stock. The dealer forgot to install a wheel spacer and the battery bracket, and they had both of the parts, plus the rubber grommets for the bracket, in less than a week. I ordered O-rings for the oil filter cover, valve adjustment covers, and oil pump intake screen cover, and they came in less than a week.
I ordered an OEM luggage rack for the bike, which was on the 'fiche, and also less than a week. The big thing is... I found an exhaust for an Italjet that I liked, and was a factory item for the "Caffeneta", a new bike based on the Buccaneer motor and frame. They helped my dealer order the exhaust system for me. That part has a month or more wait, because it's from overseas. But everything that was an SSR part they had in stock and shipped it fast to my dealer. Charles. |

Well, that's some positive news. I'll keep my fingers crossed. That said, a CSC-type website would be nice. I used to "click and order" on the old Qlink site. It was very convenient.

Yes Sir--stock 17/46 open throttle for miles. I don't remember what RPM I was at though. I ride 85 and 316 on my way home both are 65+ roads so its full throttle the whole way to keep up with traffic. Speedo went from 65-73 depending on incline/decline. I weigh 215 lbs. Now its possible that the speedo is not accurate because I did not test with GPS. My brother just got a brozz out in St. Louis and he texted me 63/64 uphill and 74 mph downhill at 8500 rpms. I'll have to add a top speed video soon to the Peace youtube channel soon. |
