Patron Taker 250: Advantages and disadvantages, Reviews, Technical characteristics

Not all inexpensive Chinese motorcycles are boring and monotonous, as the Patron Taker 250 city bike was able to prove. The designers managed to implement in it some interesting technical solutions that are rarely found on budget motorcycles, wrap it all in a fairly attractive appearance and at the same time keep the cost at an affordable level , in order to compete not only with other “Chinese” cars, but also with used “Japanese” ones. As a first bike for beginners, or just a bike for daily riding, the Patron Tucker 250 is really great. And now we will tell you why.

Technical characteristics of Patron Taker 250

Of course, there are no innovations in this motorcycle, but compared to other handicrafts of Chinese designers, it looks more than worthy. Apparently, craftsmen from the People's Republic of China meticulously studied the popular Japanese small-capacity models, diligently copied successful solutions, made some changes to reduce the cost and offered the Patron Tucker 250 to the public. The experiment can be considered successful - both the technical characteristics of the Patron Taker 250 and its appearance are excellent are in harmony with each other. This is a typical urban street bike, light, maneuverable and surprisingly peppy .

Of course, the Chinese didn’t shell out money for a light-alloy frame, but an ordinary steel frame will suffice for us, right? Moreover, it houses a good 1-cylinder 4-valve liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 25 hp. and 22 Nm of torque . It is mated to a completely modern 6-speed gearbox , which, it should be noted, works without the slightest complaints. At the same time, the dry weight of the Patron Taker 250 does not even reach 150 kg , and its center of gravity is low, so subjectively the motorcycle seems very light. The maximum speed of the Patron Tucker 250 is 140 km/h , and it is really capable of developing it.

The pendants are also worthy of attention. An inverted telescopic fork is installed at the front, and a pendulum with two energy-intensive shock absorbers at the rear. It seems that the Chinese designers managed to find a balance between comfort and controllability, and it’s impossible to find fault with the Patron Taker 250 suspensions even if you wanted to. The brakes are also good - discs with calipers are installed both front and rear. The only pity is that the injector was not delivered; instead, it was decided to install a conventional carburetor. However, even without an injector, the Patron Tucker 250 can be called a motorcycle that is fully in line with the modern technological level, especially in the budget segment.

Pros and cons of Patron Taker 250

Advantages

General manufacturability . This is truly a completely modern and reliable bike.
Decent dynamics . The “Chinese” accelerates to 110-120 km/h and is very confident.
Gripping brakes . The only thing they lack is ABS.
Attractive appearance . Chinese designers abandoned the pretentious appearance and created an ordinary-looking classic motorcycle that really looks very good.
Impressive 16 liter gas tank . Considering that the fuel consumption of the Patron Taker 250 usually does not exceed 4 liters per hundred kilometers, this is more than enough for all occasions.

Flaws

Build errors . On new motorcycles, there are often bolts that are not fully tightened, sometimes even in the most vital places such as wheels or the crankcase.
Bad turn signals . They are located in such a way that they are very easy to catch just by walking up to the bike, and they are made of fragile plastic.
Reviews of the Patron Taker 250 often mention incorrect operation of the standard carburetor . Fortunately, it can be easily and inexpensively replaced with another one.

Review by Yamaha Chinese copy Cartridge Strike (2012)

The moto topic on the site has completely withered...

But I’ve been riding “real” (I’ll explain why in quotes below) enduro for a year now! Exactly a year, even in winter I went several times.

February '17. The pit bike is ready for the season. But man is such a damn brute that he is always missing something. What was wrong with Pete? Firstly, sports equipment. Naturally, you are not allowed to travel to additional places “by law.” Secondly, you can’t go somewhere far and for a long time on it. And I was planning a couple of long-distance trips. Well, thirdly, I wanted to have less maintenance and repairs. And you can’t plant a second one - at least you can get to the neighboring forest. In fact, this is a toy for riding alone in the nearest forest.

We choose... We immediately forget about the Japanese - the cheapest yubr, which you can look at without tears, is far beyond the budget. And enduro is like a premium car. Initially, I tried to find money over thirty thousand, Chinese, of course, with minor problems, but I soon realized the utopian nature of the idea. I set the goals - moderately off-road motorcycle, low in the saddle!!, no less than 200 cubic meters. Easy. Immediately about and their clones - the saddle height is 90. We choose.. We choose.. and, in fact, where is the choice??? The crisis of '13 didn't even bring us to our knees; it drove the motorcycle market deep into the ground. Of the new ones, a 14-year-old intruder in his sixties is gathering dust forlornly. Discounts? What are you about?? The mot looks huge, overloaded with details, and generally not my thing. Are you interested in a certain model? We will deliver to order. With prepayment, of course. What if you don't like it? I don't know what your problem is. And - prices, prices... We look at used ones. Second strike. Nothing to see. They sell rubbish, half without proper registration. If the road worker is registered with the previous/previous/grandmother/neighbor's bug. Enduro is either sports equipment or simply not registered. I looked at the tribute cartridge. This is a Chinese type of Minsk. Mot beams. Basically.. if you change tires, you can actually drive to some asshole in the world and get stuck there. But the engine is 150cc without a balancer! That means Route 70. Not serious. Next is the snow leopard vr1. Engine - 200 with balancer. Works great, no vibrations! But a road worker. Here the racer is making a new model based on its overpit-underenduro. In principle, the difference is mainly in the engine. I know the old model, and my impressions are contradictory. On the one hand, this is exactly what I want! The disadvantages are mainly related to the weak engine (and the new model 200 has a balancer!!), and low load capacity. But - my weight is a lamb, plus I don’t carry too much - it’s enough for me. Rare tires, short service life of the components... nonsense, Pete taught me to work with my hands after every ride. Rubber... really, after pita I wanted “full size”. True, the price is double the budget... but you can raise the amount. I ordered from two stores, they promised to deliver and call. I'm still waiting. :-D.

At the same time, I'm looking at used ones. I set my sights on looking at a few more options. Unexpectedly, an announcement - strike cartridge, 12 years old, thousand miles. What kind of strike? Copy of Yamaha-Serov, low in the saddle, light. There are a lot of negatives - the frames are cracking, the tanks are leaking, there are no spare parts... I’m calling - one owner is not young, he is registered, the diagnostics are valid!!, condition - he drove a little on asphalt. Everything is original. I agreed to watch it. Night (again night, again at work, again without sleep :-D,), I think, I’m surfing the Internet... Are the frames cracking? There is one hero of the Internet - under him, the spendthrift literally fell apart. But, if you think about it... This “uncle” weighs a hundred kilos. Plus equipment Plus cargo, backpack, things... My usual weight will be three times lower! Okay, whatever - I’ll go and at least look at this craft for the legendary Serov. I go straight to the heel, into the booth with a board and zip ties.

The sight of this small, neat, and somehow beautiful motorcycle struck me on the spot. The suspensions work (hello, the snow leopard has a stick instead of a suspension), the engine runs very quietly. The vibrations, of course, are a bit high - the engine is 250 without a balancer. The motor really turned out to be perfect, it didn’t move off the asphalt, diagnostics were due until August. The owner is a pathologist (almost a colleague, damn it, and even a namesake by name/patronymic!), an older man, I liked it - after all, choose not the equipment, but the owner! One problem - the battery died, and only the owner started the engine from the “leg”. Nonsense - we’ll buy a battery and tune the engine! Let's buy!

Thanks to diagnostics and valid registration, and correctly executed documents (thanks to the previous owner!), it was registered quickly and cheaply - 520 insurance for a year, and 600 rubles for re-registration. The room is old. Inexpensive, I think it gives the opportunity to travel everywhere calmly. By the way, the insurance was checked twice, and the second time in such a situation - that only the correct documents saved us from more serious consequences.

I bought a battery, changed the spark plug, adjusted the valves and carb. The motorcycle started to start with a kick - otherwise, while washing the bike, we trained to see who could start it the fastest. There was a strong smell of gasoline - again, a well-known problem. I removed the tank and there was a crack on the bottom. There was some kind of screw lying in the tank, I don’t know where it came from - I just threw it away. The gap was covered with Poxypol. Eliminated a bunch of different extraneous sounds. I moved the wiring to the steering wheel. I made a mudguard for the rear shock absorber. I installed the trunk removed from the pit. And - let's go!

I drove three and a half thousand in a year. Mot, on the whole, did not disappoint... although... You understand that this is still not Serov - a typical Chinese counterfeit of the company. But on the other hand, for this money... A colleague rides a bicycle - it costs one and a half times more! The instructions directly state that “the motorcycle is made in enduro style.” Like, what did you want?? Just think, the mirrors are made of the cheapest plastic, they weren’t made for enduro, I broke my own three times, I got tired of restoring them, so I installed a random mirror with the help of Mr.., sticks, and some mother. One, the second was no longer there. Gears are switched by a very tricky system of levers and rods - naturally, this system is unacceptable for enduro! The lever always bends, the rod is always crooked, and even located below the frame. Backlash, unclear switching, always crooked design... Plus, sometimes I would like to move the footrests forward. By the way, the footrests are without springs!! What idiot did that?? I'm tired of trying to catch these footpegs, which always rise on the off-road, and to straighten the traction, I decided to redo them. I threw out the rods, put the lever from the snow leopard with a folding foot directly on the box shaft, as is done on all normal enduros. I moved the footpegs forward and installed springs. Beauty!! But - the place seems to be cursed - on the next trip I turned up so well that the entire blow seemed to have been taken by this switching foot. She, of course, stood it... but began to look up. I drove to the garage, shifting with my heel. I straightened it for about two hours - it’s not old foil. It turned out, of course, approximately, and the lever stood with a tooth offset. Of the “built-in” jambs - in one feather there was no caprolon ring - while I was making it, I took it apart five times. Restored the rear pads using proven technology, Poxypol, clutch lining, two rivets. I replaced the wheel bearings - it looked like they were without lubrication and simply rotted. The oil seals are in short supply, I installed the old ones replacing the springs.

Over the summer I traveled around the city, off-road, and even on a short distance. The motor turned out to be quite versatile. Sit comfortably. And - economical - on the highway I managed less than three liters per hundred. Naturally, more in the mud. Another small minus is that I can’t figure out where to put everything I need. On the pit bike, I installed a small tool box on the handlebars, behind the fairing for cameras, a bottle of water/gasoline, and on top for a mat and a sleeping bag.

I went everywhere. For example, I drove to work for a week, then 740 km in two days on completely different roads. It was I who went to Gary. There are, as you know, three holes in the Urals - Shali, Gary, Tabor. I was in two, the third remained unconquered. Plus, I really wanted to drive further, where the road actually ends (the asphalt ends much earlier). Traveling by car is unrealistic. I took the shortcut on a motorcycle. 160 km of asphalt. And the first bell rang - a flooded road bridge. I used the pedestrian, suspended one. 22 km - the embankment is operational!! railway (it’s not easy to ride in one helmet when there’s a cliff on one side and rails on the other. And there’s always the feeling that the locomotive is catching up from behind.). A little more asphalt and the grader started moving. I constantly change gears and catch the wind on the rocks. What is Garinsky district? Swamps, plains, the largest lakes and rivers... I was extremely lucky - the rising water flooded the road. I drove through small spills without getting my feet wet. Having dived into the next one, I even soaked the eggs, and almost stayed there! After all, they said, “If you don’t know the ford, don’t stick your nose into the water!” I decided to explore the next ford - and for good reason, the depth is about a meter! I've arrived. The extreme point is the half-abandoned village of Linty, a thriving village in the past, now a village of fishermen and one grandmother. I slept in an abandoned house in the attic.

Serious trips include five days in the northern Urals. Grader, rain, rivers, mountains and passes, waterfalls and beautiful nature, swimming in the purest river, in the most literal sense of the word - head over heels with an iron horse. .

In the fall I started thinking about good tires. The native Chinese one held dry soil well, did not make noise, but did not hold wet soil at all. It snowed and it became impossible to drive. Even a bald road bike held up better. And for the New Year I gave him a gift - a cross-country parsley. Fortunately, there are standard size tires for enduro-sea, for absolutely every budget and taste. The tires turned out to be ideal for winter - you drive like in summer. Let's see how she behaves in the summer. An oil seal chain has been purchased for this season. And since it is impossible to put a new chain on old teeth, I began to look for stars. And then it turns out that the driven star is very rare, and is not worth anywhere except strike and amagi! There are no similar ones in the official catalogs of well-known companies. There are three options. You can order from Izhevsk, where these motorcycles are made. The price of 1800 doesn't seem like much. You can install a similar one with some kind of spacer. But I took the third path. And I ordered a 50-tooth sprocket from the factory (original 48). I absolutely did not like the gear ratio plus the very short gears. With 15 front sprockets, the bike goes well on moderate off-road conditions, but on the highway 80, after which wild vibration begins. You can’t set it to 16; it’s better not to drive off the asphalt at 17. A 50 rear sprocket should improve the situation a bit.

In general, I was not disappointed in the motorcycle during the season. I got exactly what I wanted. On the highway, if you are not in a hurry, then 70 is very quiet and comfortable. The pendants work. Naturally, not like Japanese enduro, but definitely better than Japanese road bikes. The mot is light - I can pull it out alone. The motor failed only once - the throttle cable broke in the forest. Having quickly rearranged the remains for suction, I drove home without any problems, simultaneously drowning the moto in a puddle.

I look at what is generally produced on two wheels, and I understand that there is no alternative to the strike. Analogues from Japan - Jebel 200 and the same Serov - cost four times more - for me the amount is unrealistic. Yes, they are better in everything, but it’s like explaining the advantages of a new Mercedes to the owner of a Nexia. Our motorcycle industry died without doing anything good. And China is still riveting a bunch of Honda analogues with a seat height of 90 of varying degrees of wretchedness. Racer makes interesting models, but I don’t really like anything, the compromise doesn’t suit me. The only thing I don't like about the strike is the engine without a balancer - the vibrations are high.

Reviews from Patron Taker 250 owners

The bike is great, not without its flaws, but still great. I bought it new, chose between the new Patron and the 1995 Honda SB400, in the end I chose the Chinese and did not regret it. Over the past seasons, I have driven more than 30k kilometers, changed the carb, chain, sprockets, tires, and clutch. With the exception of the carb, there were no breakdowns, not counting the turn signals that were broken during the fall and a damaged muffler. Until I have the money for some fresh 600, I won’t change the Patron; there is no point in replacing it with some 400 from the shaggy years. Ilya, St. Petersburg, Patron Taker 250 '2015.

The standard tires go straight into the trash, antifreeze and oil filled in at the factory go in the same place. After purchase, you need to tighten the bolts yourself with torque wrenches, it’s also better to check the wiring, the contacts are not insulated at all. Otherwise, it’s a very good motorcycle for its price, with peppy dynamics and good brakes. Alexey, Chelyabinsk, Patron Taker 250 '2018.

Not everyone has money for new Japanese people, I, for example, don’t have any and don’t expect to, and in my opinion, it’s more expensive for yourself to get involved with ancient rubbish and play the motorcycle-cromancer. That’s why I ended up buying a Patron, it’s an excellent buzzer, in the city it’s easy to stay faster than the flow and control the situation, most Chinese cars can beat most cars. The brakes are normal, no surprises, the suspension is generally fire, you ride very softly, as if you were floating. It's already been used for three seasons, no problems, I bought it as a year old with almost zero mileage. Boris, Volzhsky, Patron Taker 250 '2013.

— It’s okay, I’ll buy it, test it and write a review.

From a dialogue in a motorcycle showroom

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, workers and collective farmers, an idiot's dream has come true! I finally bought myself a motorcycle. I lazily dreamed about this purchase for about 3-4 years. Every time another biker on some Honda flew past me to a deafening roar, I trembled, my knees gave way and I, like an inexperienced chick, started to leak. Chick, leak, hmm, chick.

I have always been and continue to be bothered by 2 questions.

The first concerned those hiking-type people who roam the streets with backpacks, tanned faces and toned bodies. Where are they coming from? For what? How much have they seen in their lifetime? Well and so on. Such characters are not often encountered, so I have a genuine interest in them. For me they are the personification of wild freedom and strength. I don’t know why, maybe it’s some kind of childhood trauma or a childhood dream.

The second question concerned bikers wearing integral helmets (these are closed helmets through which only a person’s gaze can be distinguished). These are some semblance of people with glasses. But here only the glance is visible. Serious, focused, purposeful. It is with such eyes that people on sports bikes fly around the city, cutting through city traffic. For some reason, such people are also very attractive to me. Who are they? Why are they? Where did these bastards get the money for their beautiful jalopies? I’ll send these questions to Alexander Druz, you can’t constantly be tormented by them.

People in helmets and people with backpacks. Apparently, my secret fetish is a biker on a motorcycle, with a backpack, on the top of Elbrus.

The attraction of such people makes you strive for them on a subconscious level. I still have to grow and grow to become a lonely but free tourist (if there is any possibility of transformation at all), but I have become one step closer to bikers.

And let my gaze sometimes be scattered and not purposeful. Even if the only equipment I have is a helmet, which I have already managed to scratch. And even my motorcycle is not a Kawasaki Ninja or a Honda CBR, but some kind of semi-Russian Patron Sport 250

. But the sensations you get when you face the wind with your visor open are unforgettable. Driving a car does not dilute your blood with the spirit of freedom, it does not force you to convulsively inhale huge streams of air. This is different. I'm just getting into it, but I'm already starting to like it.

Let's move on directly to the motorcycle, since the title obliges us to write at least a couple of words as a review.

When I was lazily looking for a bike on Slando, Avito and Auto.ru, I accidentally came across a motorcycle dealership that sells motorcycles assembled from Chinese spare parts on ours from Izhevsk. The picture turned out to be very beautiful, the Patron Sport looks very aggressive, just like a real sports bike. If I'm not mistaken, this is an analogue of the Honda CBR 150 or 250. They are assembled from our own, assembled from spare parts under our brand.

This pleasure costs 105k. For a sport bike the price is ugh. At the same time, for that kind of money you can only buy a completely killed Japanese and tinker with it in the garage after work. Therefore, the choice was made towards a Chinese scooter.

I came to the salon, completed the purchase, showed how to start it and adjust the idle speed. I sat down and drove off.

Compared to Minsk, where I studied at the driving school, Patron is not bad at all. Heavy, beautiful, even goes.

In general: sporty look, price. That's all the positives for now (:

Next came the cons.

From the very beginning, the clutch worked poorly, it was almost impossible to catch neutral when you were standing somewhere at a traffic light. I had to hold the clutch handle. As a result, we tightened the clutch cable - everything was ok. Minus the problem.

Idling. Since I don’t know much about motorcycles yet, I couldn’t manage to adjust the idle speed properly. Without the throttle, the bike constantly stalled. This crap was fixed for me in the salon in 5 minutes. Minus problem number two.

Battery. It happened that once the motorcycle refused to start due to a dead battery. I had to carry it to charge it. At the same time, the instruments show that the generator is charging, everything is ok. The problem was never solved, but it seemed to disappear temporarily.

Speed. In fifth gear at 4500 rpm, the motorcycle begins to behave like the rocket on which Belka and Strelka conquered space. It’s scary to open the throttle any further, because it seems that I’m about to reach escape velocity. To be fair, it must be said that the motorcycle must be run-in at 1600 km and after that you will need to look at how it accelerates and rides. I have driven 400 km so far, so I can leave the acceleration and speed limit for later. Maybe he'll take a shit and run 100 km/hour like Grandma's Buryonka running away from a drunken shepherd.

For a beginner, this technique is quite appropriate. There is only one thing. You will have to come to terms with the fact that minibus drivers, Kaenov and other bikers you meet on the road will look at you condescendingly. Kaen gives this motorcycle one left hand, but I’m generally silent about Japanese motorcycles (:

I won’t say anything about the danger of the device and the fact that a lot of people end up playing on bikes in hospitals. Every second person who finds out that I bought myself a motorcycle tells me about this >_

Hello Max! finally some interesting posts from you)
I have a question for you regarding the previous topic with bank cards. In general, I also have a card from the bank opening webmoney. So they said that they don’t take commissions, but when I replenish my wallet, 1% of the amount is withdrawn from the card and for withdrawal.
Do you also?

analogue of Siberian 250? friend, how did this come to your mind?
Honda SBR250 with its 249 cc produces 40 horses, and drives more than 200 mph
Such a comparison would rightly be considered offensive by the Japanese.
and for 100 rubles you can bring the bike straight from Japan, which is what I did, and after 3 years of operation I changed the oil and tires.
and who called this piece of plastic a sport? For this, 200 years ago they filled their mouths with lead.

As for the gearbox, this is not a minus, I also have this, first learn to drive and then talk about the minuses and pluses, you need to slow down before the turn and not already in the turn, as for the speed, it’s the same thing, I have 200 cc and it goes 130 km/h

Yeah. 130. According to the lying Chinese speedometer. My speedometer goes 110-115 on a flat road, 25-30 grams 100 on a hill. A friend of mine has a Chinese Magnum 200cc, according to his speedometer it goes 130 and at this moment I overtake him by 110-115 km. In total, it lies for 20-25 km.

The Tucker 250 can be confidently called an example of a good Chinese motorcycle that is balanced in all respects. At a moderate—what is it, even low—price, it is really good. And one of its main advantages is that it does not try, unlike many of its counterparts from the PRC, to pretend to be something it is not, for example, a sportbike or a chopper. The Patron Taker 250 is positioned as an inexpensive, yet reliable and modern lightweight city motorcycle with a classic design, and that is exactly what it is.

Patron strike 250 review

The Patron STrike 250 motorcycle, reviews of which are quite varied, is made in the “enduro” style. According to the manufacturer, this model combines the spectacular design of an ultra-modern SUV with ease of operation and maintenance. Its advantages also include comfort and efficiency.

The Patron STrike motorcycle is equipped with a four-stroke single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 250 cm3. The engine has an air-oil cooling system and an electronic starting system. This device can be used both on asphalt roads, and on dirt and country roads, as well as on light off-road conditions.

When developing the Patron STrike motorcycle, the designers used a number of modern solutions. Front and rear disc brakes provide comfortable and effective braking. The rear suspension has a monoshock and linkage system that provides progressive characteristics.

The large tread pattern of the Patron STrike 250 motorcycle tires ensures strong wheel grip when traveling off-road. The stylish appearance of the model is given by the electronic instrument panel and advanced plastic cladding. Along with the Patron STrike 250 motorcycle, you can purchase a set of road wheels that will change the style of the model to a “motard”.

Patron STrike 250, user reviews of which are in most cases positive, is worth the money and works 100%. But before you start actively using the motorcycle, you should tighten all the bolts and nuts.

According to reviews from owners of the Patron STrike 250, it is possible that after covering 3000 km on the motorcycle, the chain and, in some cases, the sprockets will have to be replaced. The footrests and gear shift paw are not very comfortable in shape.

But the gearbox itself works great in this model. The recommended retail price of the Patron STrike 250 motorcycle is 75,000 rubles.

and so I bought myself a new Strike 250 cartridge while I was driving as a lady, I almost came from the vibration, I looked at the engine, it was not tightened, I tightened everything, the following happened in 3 months

1.peregolera lamp in the back of the stack, bought a diode for 150 rubles and forgot about it

2. pierced the rear cylinder, bought a camera cheaper than 450 rubles, couldn’t find it

3. a couple of bolts and nuts sent me to hell

4. gave a ride to a friend, he fell and broke the mirror

5.some of the plastic fasteners are broken

6. the tank leaked and had to be boiled

7. the chain came off and spilled into the shears with the help of the remnants of the chain from the Balgarka ant and a couple of bolts with nuts, everything was repaired

8 I screwed up the rear stopper assembly (later I found it)

9. and the leader of the list))))))))) an intriguing pause and then the frame burst in the silencer area)))))) welding and a 3-piece electrode fixed everything

Everything is the same as on all Ketais in principle)) On Alpha there was the same thing. Hmm, I read your report, so I didn’t want to buy it, it’s better to throw on another twenty and take a Japanese one, although the cartridge looks solid .. but you can buy exactly the same but a Japanese one)))) for 80 mona you can get it in excellent condition The headlight is no longer held on by one mount , already the 3rd chain from the ant, the front fender was broken twice, the plastic on the right side was broken, the rear brake cylinder was broken, I was braking with the front ones. Then the frame burst twice on the left side in the middle. If you drive with a passenger off-road, the rear wheel hits the wing at a speed of 30 km/h. It doesn't work well when it's cold. In winter you'll start the dick even at -5. I was also driving standing and the right leg fell off (2 times) on which to put my foot. I cooked the mufflers twice and there was a hole and condensation was running onto the brake cylinder, since there was a hole there.

Yes, he’s a normal spendthrift, why are you trying to inflate the very thing. and expecting that this is a Japanese technician is stupid for the money. I’m skating for the second season myself, and I don’t regret it at all. So far I haven’t broken anything that’s worthwhile.. I immediately replaced the current chain with a good one (for good Japanese cross-country cars, some kind of rental chain, the name seems to be), but for the rest - well, sometimes it rattles in different ways, well, the turn signals fell off.. well, to hell with it, but joy - like a child, I recommend it for those who are not confused IMHO

sometimes it’s scary, I think if only the footrests don’t fall off when you stand up on the fierce pits, but it seems like pah-pah for now we’re living))

By the way, please tell me, does anyone know if the lamp base is h4? you should change it to xen, otherwise people in the city are looking at you in the mirror and seeing this yellow headlight. ahem-ahem, in general, for purely safety reasons, so that drivers would react better.

Hello. The motorcycle does not go more than 75 km/h further as if I was letting off the gas. but in fact I am holding it. what could it be?

In the mug, on the original xt250 Serow, there should be a Yamaha emblem, three tuning forks. In the triangle to the right, even on the pit there is nothing for beauty.

Alexander, not a Yamaha)) this is a Chinese-Russian miracle of engineering. Considering that the neutral indicator doesn’t light up, it’s a little difficult to catch it, considering that this is the first motorcycle and I’m learning to ride it, but I’m happy with the technology, it’s a nice thing to climb through fields and bushes, even though it’s not a full-fledged enduro

according to the indicators: turns, neutral and high beam on the left side of the tidy. no circles or triangles are lit there, on the right is the display of the speedometer, kilometer and gear engaged. one button changes km to miles, the second resets the mileage in my opinion. look at the chips from the tidy, The wires may have come loose somewhere. The wiring is shitty, and the brain is starting to bear it.
