Legit got mine. The day he dropped this vid. Drove 5 hrs to Texas then 5 back to get one. I'm up to 160 miles and it so nice. It my first Bike ever and I'm about 5' 11. I ordered the parts before I even got home with the bike. I get my air filter today. Found some great lights you should try cheap too. I'll link it 👇👇👇
You got the link for the lights? I bought my Titan250 on 6/19, just hit 500 miles yesterday. I've done all the mods he's suggested and it runs so nice. I hope you like yours!
I can't believe how light the bike is, China is getting bolder and bolder with these models they are putting out. The shop near me is selling one of these for 3900 and I laughed in his face about it.
Yours going 80 is insane! Those few mods you did look worth it, because I only weight 165 and have it totally stock, and it's lucky to hit 68 on flat ground. Definitely going to have to learn how to do what you did mod-wise.
I have the Hawk 250 I did all the mods and changed both sprockets on mine it will do about 87 miles per hour now on the gps! Both are really great bikes mine has been very reliable I’m at 1,400 miles now !! Great video Thank you! 👍😎🤘
Say MJ, your bike is the quietest of several I heard onroad tests as well as the best performing and fastest of several road tests I've warched. Kudos to you ! 🏍️
That "vacuum" hose that used to connect to the air box is not a vacuum hose. It is the crankcase breather hose, and must not be eliminated, nor should it be left open on the end. What does the breather do? Think about what happens inside your engine as the piston travels up and down with the engine running. Keep in mind that the crankcase is otherwise sealed (otherwise it would leak oil all over) and the cylinder extends out of the top. What we are worried about here is the volume that exists in the crankcase to include the volume of space beneath the piston. As the piston travels up the total volume increases, and as the pistol travels down the total volume decreases. When the volume decreases the air inside the crankcase has to go somewhere, and likewise when the volume increases more air needs to flow into the crankcase to occupy that volume. That is what the breather does. As the crankcase "exhales" the air normally is directed into the air box, and any vapors, oil droplets, etc. gets sucked into the induction system where it gets mixed with the filtered air and is eventually burned inside the combustion chamber at the top of the cylinder. As the crankcase "inhales", fresh air is drawn back into the crankcase from the air box. What most people do who eliminate the air box is attach a small air filter of some type to the end of that hose. The filter prevents the crankcase from "inhaling" dirt, ground-up leaves, dead bugs, and powdered dog turds into the crankcase during the "inhale" cycle. Any oil vapor "exhaled" will eventually leak through the filter onto the ground. (Tell people who ask about the oil spot under your bike that it's not leaking, it marking it's territory.)
love this man, was wondering the whole time watching that part of the video, I'm an engineer (the college drop-out kind), and I knew there's a reason it's there. Great explanation.
Yeah probably not a clone motor i noticed my 100cc Honda big wheel did 55 mph while my 125cc coolster only hit 50mph they're good just not as good nice starter or throw arounds and this is a 4 stroke 2 strokes ways faster so yeah
The bike this guy is riding only makes around 16 horse power and compares to a crf230. I once rode a kx125 race bike that went 100mph it was a 6 gear 2 stroke. The one I rode stock makes 39 hp and the one I rode had a crap ton of mods.
Appreciate the review...I might be purchasing this just to play around with it, not looking for something super fast. The bike looks great and it's almost unbelievable that you paid 2k for this bike.
@Mark Lowe I want to take the air box out of mine but I only see bolts on the right side and nothing on the left side and I’m not sure how you remove it, let me know when you can my man thanks
Hey Chris Bowen! You have to take the plastic off on the right side. Then unscrew the four bolts on the air box. You pretty much have to pry and pull it out thru the frame in two pieces. I had to break mine to get it out.
Dude I just saw one of these in a scooter shop for the first time, the red model, and it was THE NICEST LOOKING 250cc motorcycle I've ever seen, and I've seen em all (online, most in person) and this bike looks better in person than online which is VERY RARE. I have no idea how it rides, the build quality, idk ANYTHING about this bike other than the looks, and my _opinion_ is that it is beautiful. Looks like a liter bike.
Did you ever find out the type of brake pads needed ? I can’t find this anywhere and mine are squeaking bad . Parts are impossible to find for these bikes
The gpr300( I think it's called know what Dunlop's your talking about) are _excellent_ tires even if you're driving crazy with a super sport, they work perfectly fine, unless you are competing on a track. For street driving they are the best hands down all weather, long life, high performance tire. Good choice and advice 👍.
I have a 2023 XPRO Roadster250 EFI 6 speed. Changed the oil upon receiving the bike, before the 1st start up. Rode the bike about 215 miles, locally, no faster than 45 mph. Just to work and back. About 10 miles round trip. Just did my second oil change, and cleaned out the oil screen. Put in a quart and a quarter of Mobil 1 4T racing full synth. I have an oil cooler coming July 1st. August 4th, I'll be making a 75 mile trip, one way, on secondary roads. 55mph max. On average, what's the longest I can ride before I need to stop to let the bike cool off, and check the oil? I'm not a hard rider. I max the tach at about 4500 rpm.
Another thing ur gonna wanna do is get a "megaware" guard for ur battery the chinese battery are cheap and they wear out an break due to bumpy road and shock waves it the best investment trust me
My Pentora is absolutely wicked and I've modified it so extensively, it's truly a ratrod 4-wheeler that will eat a stock Yamaha Raptor it's cloned off of for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have a 250cc X-Motos dirt bike but really want to get one of the small 125 or 150cc bikes which make excellent stunt bikes according to owners. *With all of these Chinese clones of other bikes, the air intakes are typically like a drinking straw and chopping it open produces literally a 25 to 30% increase in power and all around performance.* *The Chinese are brilliant in that these motorcycles, ATV's and scooters have a ton of power choked off, and breather mods alone make huge leaps in power.* My former Pentora I now call El Diablo should do around 70 mph after I added 3 inches of rear tire lol! I can pull wheelies with a hard shift even into 3rd gear with only a 4 speed transmission, so when I install them I expect to still easily pull wheelies in first which has actually been a huge and dangerous issue for me at times. *Anyway, I have to decide what to do with my dirt bike and if I sell it, I'll get another Vitacci and potentially one of these or a Vader.*
Thanks bro for you videos. I'm here in Florida as well. Looking for an economical bike for around town and 5 miles from work no highways. Its great how your able to ride and keep giving vital information, you have a gift my friend
OLD VIDEO but....@3:26 That's most likely a PCV hose & not a vacuum hose. It sends air pressure from the engine crankcase back into the air intake to recycle it. You don't want to plug it....Pretty much all cars & motorcycles have them. Lookup pcv valve / pcv system. My 85 Yamaha has one that goes from engine into the airbox. If I remove it, the bike has slightly less top speed coz it's getting less air flow. If I was to remove stock air box & go to a dynojet kit & pod filters. You're supposed to add an air filter/cap to it so it can breathe & also keep dirt out.
Do you need to space the spark plug gap yourself? Or just make sure that your get the correct spark plug, because I don’t have a tool to measure a distance that small that accurately 😢 1:10
You cant cap off that breather hose that used to go the air box. If you do the crankcase cant vent and the bike will leak oil from all the seals. Just leave that hose open to air. It wont hury anything
Thanks for the update review. Good points. Not being able to engine brake with this bike sounds disappointing if the engine stalls out. I engine brake all the time with my Kawasaki motorcycles for gradual stops/slow downs. Sorry to hear about that for this low-cost mail-order motorcycle, which seems like a fun small engine bike otherwise.
I second that. I recognized the airport and think you got off just North of Delray or maybe South of Lake Worth as I thought I saw the utility water plant towers after you turned back around to head back.
These Chinese bikes are tempting with the low price tags and obvious road going abilities. I just don't have faith it'll last over 8-10,000 miles without major problems.
yeah I'm looking to buy one but not sure if it's worth it and how they'll last. As far as I know most of these 250cc chinese bikes are crf230 clone motors.
It could if it's well taken care of. I have a 150cc gy6 bored with a 171cc that is 7 years old with 8,000 miles on it and the stator finally went the other day. I rode the heck outta that thing. I just bought a Ghost 250cc I'm hoping will hit 8-10,000 miles.
@@thelagmeister Right on. Consider the stator on your GY6 is probably $30-60, and many sources. Im considering a CN250 Helix Clone Scooter. New Stator is $70 I believe. My 06 Suzuki Burgman 400, Stator is a "OE Suzuki factory part" - $480 no cheaper. See why I'm considering buying / testing / replacing my reliable but aged Burgman with a new 2023 Ranger CN250 clone Scooter ?
Hi 👋, Thank's for review. I bought 2024 Titan 250 off Amazon from HHH store. I have about 300 miles on it now and gotta change the oil. How much oil did you put in?
I'm ngl, the venom x22r max just looks cleaner, and I'm pretty sure it performs better. This bike is slow af, and with the dual exhaust I'm pretty sure u can't upgrade it. But with the venom x22r, it can hit 90 easily if your like 140, and you can upgrade the exhaust pipe. So me personally I most likely might end up buying the x22r.
the wider tire has better grip and looks better I agree, but the lower ratio tire will give you lower top speed I believe, of course you don't want the tire too wide nor too tall on a small displacement bike, I would go to 160 or 150/70 17s on rear and 110/60 front
How’s oil change work? I had a bd250 but when doing oil changes there was no oil filter. Does this bike have a filter? If so I’d like to see an oil change video since I’m debating getting 1 of these
Hi. I bought a 250cc Titan. The problem I am having is that it stalls for no reason when starting to accelerate and when down accelerating with the clutch fulled pressed. I returned and exchanged for a GTX and the happened on 2 of them. All are EFI Vitacci. Did it happen with you? If yes, how did you fix it? Thanks
All you have to do is put a good Slip on. It seems that this is an Inline 2 Cylinder, so either figure out a way to put a Full Agraprovic or good aftermarket Full Exhaust with Cat Delete, as well as good Slip-Ons. This will add about 5 to 6 Horsepower. This mod with the better air filter, better Spark Plug like he has done would put Horsepower at around 20 to 25. Plenty to do what you want. At this point with every mod available, you could easily do Highway for as long as you want with plenty of power within any rpm range and it would also sound amazing. Hope this helps. I'll more than likely be getting mine as well as the KPR200 Champion Bike as well. Check it out Good luck.
As far as I know these most of these Chinese 250s have crf230f clone motors so you can use most crf230f parts to upgrade it. Only issue with it having a ECU you'd need to tune it and bringing it in to get tuned can get expensive
I’m looking into getting this bike or the GTX 250 EFI. I’ve heard that they are relatively the same but I was wondering if you or anyone may know if that’s true
I have yet to see anyone put an aftermarket splip on exhaust on this. Everyone does it to the xpro 250 is it really that hard to get the stock ones off of this thing? Deciding between the two but leaning toward this an extra gear and a couple hundred dollars difference. We e
we run royal purple in our rps hawks, plus we add i think it was zinc to help the tappets.. i wonder what style engine yours is.. if its a old cg like the hawks
@@MJTechChannel Changing to a larger front sprocket or smaller rear can add some top speed but cuts acceleration. Going the opposite way does the opposite. It’s a popular mod on these small displacement bikes. From your video it looks like it’s already geared for highway speed and not for low end acceleration. 80mph is about the max you can squeeze out of any 250cc motorcycle.
@@MJTechChannel yes..I think it’s the full pump ..fuel injector works because I tested it but when I test it while it on the full line, it doesn’t have as much pressure coming out of it
@MJ hey brother how did you get the air box out? I have this bike and want to eliminate the air box but I’m not sure how it comes out, let me know please and thanks my man
Was gonna buy this but I’m about 5”3. Not sure how big the hawk 250 is but I’ve been looking into it a lot as well might have to just go with it if it’s smaller
I don't think that's actually 80 mph. Too many cars passing you, is everyone going 85+? I feel like the speedo is off. Have you confirmed with an app or something on your phone that it's accurate?
They come with a wax type coating or an oil type coating is why on the tires. You have to burn it off by burning out your tire some I seen in other videos on chinese bikes.
How much do you weigh? I'm sorry I know it's rude, but I feel like you must be a heavier gentleman for the top speed too be 80 (not sure?), and a 20-60(mph) at a dismal 15 seconds...
