The motor is now different, at least according to the website picture.
http://www.ssrmotorsports.com/store/enduro/xf250.php But Culcune says the certification is the same. DH, you said it matches yours. Are you looking at the website above? That engine is not the same as what has been coming in the XF250.

I hope these stick around. Best China bike I've owned. Q has been flawless since I got it in '09. Excellent quality.

Reason I ask is with the grom clones it was super easy to find replacement parts. Just had to buy grom plastics and what not. Stuff like seat, plastics, etc. And what about this one. Seems like this one is CARB street legal. https://www.orionpowersports.com/apo...embled-tested/ |

The Apollo DB-36 RX250cc DELUXE is another nice bike too. Orion carries the part for it too.

But let's say we you need parts asap. Do you know if these are clones of other bikes? Like say you ripped the seat open and you needed a new one... could you run to Honda and grab one for a CRF250? Or Kawasaki and grab one from a KLX250? Yamaha? Suzuki? Just kind of curious as that's what a lot of people do with the Grom clones. Something breaks... honda dealership. More importantly, this means the aftermarket parts like upgraded skid plates, upgraded shocks, upgraded forks, etc will all swap as well. |

Suggestione for carb and muffler
Quote:
On your XF250 bike, what brand and stock number of carb did you purchase to replace the stock carb, and what size jets did you buy to replace the jets in your replacement carb? And what replacement muffler do you recommend to replace the stock muffler? I hope you are the correct person I remember from earlier posts regarding the modifications to the XF250 bike and how to improve power and performance. Thanks, PCG |

Here is a photo of my 2013 and the newest model on the SSR site. Looks identical to me. Maybe you were looking at their SR250 moto X? They also have a new 300 which looks pretty nice. Culcune I'm glad to hear this is still coming from Pioneer. I have talked to Kronik recently, and he isn't a huge fan. He sold the first batch of XF 250's and had a few lemons; I think he got burnt out with the way SSR handled warranty/parts issues which made unhappy customers (including me at times). SSR has gotten much better from what my local shop/dealer keeps telling me, and parts are no problem. Either way, I still like Kronik Racing.

I haven't replaced my carb yet, but did some mods using a jet kit from Sigma. The kit included instructions and an assortment of jets/materials to do several mods to the carb. Replacement carbs are available on Amazon for under $50. Parts are available through Rockymountain ATV if you tell them you own a 2005 Tw200. FYI, if interested there is an XF250 on Santa Barbara Craigslist for $1,500. It looks like it's seen a bit of abuse so I imagine the price will be very negotiable.

Wlfpk I just posted a vid of the pipe here: Motor and trans are interchangeable with Suzuki and the carb is share with early 2000's Yamaha TW200. At the bottom is a cool review some guy did on the supermoto version of this bike. He seemed to like it but knocked it for the high MSRP and made comparisons to used Japanese bikes for the $$. I agree, except I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP for my SSR.
Here is the pipe: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think what I'm noticing is that there are subtle changes in the motor. The side cover is flatter in spots. The previous one was more rounded. The oil fill hole is moved slightly, also. It's still Suzuki based, which is great because you'd get a true 250 (249cc).

Not a very flattering video but typical from a Japanese bike rider. They have a tendency to get that "Harley mentality".
