Racer Ranger 200: motorcycle review, technical specifications

Cross-country motorcycles Racer Ranger 200 are quite economical and practical equipment. This unit combines decent quality, reasonable price, the use of innovative technologies, and impressive design. The motorcycles in question from China are partially assembled in Russia. In their production, original components are used, as well as domestic, Japanese and Taiwanese spare parts. This model can easily be called a Chinese creation in a Japanese “suit”.

Features of domestic assembly

In the Russian Federation, Racer Ranger RC200 GY8 motorcycles are assembled using several conveyors. The main elements of the vehicle are completed exclusively with the participation of high-class specialists. Taking into account some shortcomings, it is difficult to argue that motorcycles from China are superior to Japanese modifications. But they are much more affordable in price.

The company presents buyers of this bike with an optimal warranty period. The cross-country models under consideration meet all the required standards and consumer demands. This “racer” has external aggressiveness, dynamics, a well-thought-out design - everything that is required from a real cross-country motorcycle.

Technical specifications of the Chinese Racer Ranger 200

The review of the motorcycle continues with a table with the main technical characteristics.

With a maximum load of 188 kilograms, the Racer Ranger 200 motorcycle shows excellent cross-country results. The tires of the unit are 3.00-21, the wheels are with spokes, the transmission is of a chain type, the features of which will be discussed below.

Technical characteristics of Racer Ranger 200

Motorcycle manufacturers from China like to hide the primitiveness of the design behind a pretty appearance and a loud name. The Racer Ranger is technically an extremely primitive bike, which, however, looks quite modern and looks organically in our time. True, it was assembled using technologies from the 80s of the last century - a 12.9-horsepower air-cooled engine, a carburetor, and a gearbox-5. The maximum speed is stated as 110 km/h, but in practice it is not easy to accelerate the Racer Ranger to more than 100 km/h. But it should be noted that there is good traction in the lower speed range and the absence of annoying parasitic vibrations.

What is important is that the bike weighs only 124 kg, and it is not difficult to hold it even on wet ground, although those with short legs will have a hard time due to the significant height of the saddle. But thanks to this feature, the Ranger Racer has a fairly high ground clearance, and if desired, you can install additional crankcase protection without sacrificing virtually any ground clearance. The suspensions, however, let us down - yes, they are durable, and the owners of this model do not complain about breakdowns, but they are just as unfinished as this entire motorcycle as a whole. They clearly lack energy intensity, and they don’t have any settings, except for adjusting the pretension of the rear monoshock absorber.

The brakes are quite effective, and the Racer Ranger 200 uses the same 2-piston calipers and brake discs as other Racer motorcycles. The gas tank volume is 14 liters, which is more than enough, considering the average consumption, which does not reach 3 liters per hundred.

Chain transmission (disadvantages and opportunities for improvement)

When buying a new motorcycle of the brand in question, you should pay attention to its internal equipment. Some modifications make the unit more maneuverable and stable. Replacing the carburetor and adjusting the valve mechanism makes it possible to make the bike work with optimal parameters, like its Japanese counterpart.

A chain for a Racer motorcycle is a separate topic for discussion. When experimenting with replacing stars, you need to pay attention to the fact that the original elements are marked by index from 41 to 51. The part on 18 does not fit on the front part. The best option is a 17 sprocket. Adjusting the rear elements shows that a 41 sprocket allows you to increase speed. In this case, traction qualities are lost. Number 45 has good speed and traction.

You can order a motorcycle chain with new characteristics via the Internet. According to user reviews, the original element does not perform at its best (it breaks, quickly stretches and wears out).

Specifications

Engine – view from the gearshift lever.

Engine - view from the brake pedal.

Since this version was mostly based on user comfort rather than any technical parameters, the developers used drawings of the panther (Racer Panher) and enduro (Racer Ebduro), already time-tested.

The result was a 4-stroke, 1-cylinder engine that produced:

• working volume - 194 cm3;
• power - 13 hp;
• number of valves - 2;
• cooling - air;
• fuel supply - carburetor;
• ignition - electronic;
• start - electric starter, kick starter, as a backup option;
• tank volume - 14 l.

By tradition, a Japanese carburetor was installed.

By the way, Chinese manufacturers install Japanese carburetors on most of their motorcycle models.

Transmission

The bike is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. The small pedal travel allows you to confidently change gears.

The usual sequential principle - the neutral is between the first and second.

Clutch

• The clutch is cloned from Yamaxa - a multi-disc model in an oil bath .
• The main drive is a chain .

In stock the chain is open.

You can install a protective cover without any problems.

Brakes

Despite its modest demands, the bike is equipped with 2-disc hydraulic brakes. Each wheel is supported by 2 pistons.

Front brakes.

Rear brakes

The Chinese, as a rule, do not have any optional features

Test drive "Racer Ranger 200"

Checking the Racer Ranger 200 in action, it can be noted that there is good engine thrust, the gear shifts well (one up, two down). Despite the not very high power for a cross-country shoe, there is no shortage of horses, unless, of course, you plan to use it in professional races.

This motorcycle is optimal for tourism and extreme travel. The equipment is quite high with good ground clearance, the steering wheel is conveniently located, the seat is not slippery and comfortable. Rear view mirrors allow you to control traffic on the highway. The Racer Ranger RC200 GY8 proved to be excellent in handling. On a slippery road or on grass, if stability is lost, the unit is easily leveled. On dry asphalt, the bike corners well both at normal and low approach.

Reviews from Racer Ranger 200 owners

A gorgeous motorcycle, very comfortable, probably the most comfortable of all the Chinese motorcycles I've ever owned. I took the motor already used, with 5k km on the odometer, shod with normal tires and after quality service. Since then, two full seasons have passed, now I’ve opened the third, I don’t plan to change until I have money for something higher class. Sergey, Moscow, Racer Ranger 200 '2015.

It would have been a cool spendthrift, but the Ketais, as always, ruined everything. The welding on the Ranger I inherited was apparently done during the fourth shock shift during the cleanup work, otherwise I cannot explain this accumulation of crookedly placed points. But the worst thing is the spider, it was simply welded crookedly, as a result the tidy looks to the side, and when sitting in the saddle, it is very noticeable. I didn’t overcook it, to hell with it, but such a devil-may-care approach to this motorcycle can be felt in everything. There's a jamb on a jamb, there seem to be little things everywhere, but the only thing that's normal about it is the motor. Igor, Bataysk, Racer Ranger 200 '2018.

When I bought a motorcycle, I knew what I was getting into; before that I owned two Chinese scooters and one pit bike. Surprisingly, I found no loose bolts or dangling wires. I changed everything at once, kind people advised, I don’t know, everything that was drained seemed to be normal. The bike is interesting, it rides briskly. Alexey, Cheboksary, Racer Ranger '2017.

Chassis and motorcycle mechanics

The passenger and driver's footrests are comfortable and thoughtfully located. The feet do not slip on them and do not interfere with landing and control. The rear elements fold up if necessary and are protected against accidental foot contact with a chain or wheel. A review of the motorcycle showed that when riding softly it is informative and stable. On the bumps. The suspension performed excellently at a test speed of 70 km/h.

There are some complaints about the unit, but given its Chinese origin and price, this is an excellent option. I am very pleased with the performance of the suspension in general and the travel of the fork and shock absorbers in particular. On sand, of course, the bike in question is inferior to its colleagues, but this is not surprising. It is hardly designed for participation in a rally such as Paris - Dakar.

Flaws

The caliper mounting bolt has come loose.

The insulation of the wire from the speed sensor has broken.

The leatherette seat has worn out.

Crack in the spark plug cap.

Rapid wear of clutch discs.

If we ignore the disadvantages inherent in all Chinese bikes, the model has only a few disadvantages:

• Headlight . Its connection block is incorrect or very weak. in this place and can melt . According to users, replacing it with a car version solves the problem.
• Progressive suspension . The owners have no complaints about moving and working out uneven soil - it works great. But huge backlashes in the bushings and drums increase the number of operations several times. If you do not adjust it when purchasing, the bearing races will quickly break.
• In addition, it is recommended to completely change all oils - even before break-in. The second time - after.

and dignity

There are many advantages inherent in this particular bike.

• One of the main advantages is the comfort of landing . Good shock absorbers, plus a good saddle, and when riding you forget that there is an SUV under you.
• Once the progression of speed bumps or washboards is correctly adjusted, the motorcycle passes without feeling them.
• Convenient place for a second number . The passenger does not move during maneuvers, the height of the seat allows for good visibility, and the handles are located very well.
• Dashboard . After turning on the ignition, the single screen is evenly illuminated, does not fade in the sun, and does not require distraction from the road (the most necessary things can be seen at one glance).
• Light. A well-tuned headlight provides normal illumination both near and far, which is not typical for an enduro.

  A bright headlight allows you to comfortably ride a bike at night, both off-road and in the city.

Don’t forget also that the new Chinese bike has a price of less than 100 thousand rubles.

Features of operation and maintenance

The motorcycle is started by pressing a button, which is very convenient. For those who like to test the battery's energy capacity, there is a kickstarter. After getting used to it for a while, there are no complaints about the brakes. Activation of the front brake system does not lead to a sharp stop and folding of the fork, and the ability to control the motorcycle remains.

The weight of the unit is not small, but quite acceptable for this class. The Racer Ranger 200, whose characteristics are as close as possible to the cross-country version, is perfect for fishing, hunting or traveling short distances. A fuel reserve of 14 liters allows you to travel up to half a thousand kilometers without additional refueling. The price of the motorcycle in question starts from 78 thousand rubles.

The advantages of a sneaker

The advantages of the Chinese motorcycle Racer Ranger 200 are as follows:

• Possibility of movement on asphalt and off-road.
• The presence of a monochrome shock absorber with excellent performance.
• Equipped with a reliable pendulum and five-speed gearbox.
• Comfortable fit.
• Good fuel supply with moderate consumption.
• Affordable price.
• Possibility of torque control.

In addition, this motorcycle will delight owners with a modern electronic instrument panel with orange backlighting, a tamper-proof ignition switch, and bright, modern direction indicators with an audible buzzer. Some models are equipped with a vehicle title and a trunk.

Driving performance

The maximum speed according to the passport data is 150 km/h.

Few people would believe that this motorcycle can be accelerated to such speed.

But according to users, it can be achieved by driving down a hill and having a tailwind. Real speed can reach 100, but comfortable cruising speed is 70-80 km/h .

Overclocking

When overclocking, users note that up to 100 it goes briskly, but with a gradual decrease in power. It is extremely reluctant to gain more than 100. In numbers 10-11 seconds .

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption for the combined cycle is 3 liters , for the highway - 2.5 liters .

Dimensions and weight

Overall, for the money this is a decent road bike that will suit many novice motorcyclists.

External parameters were changed only slightly. The motorcycle has become wider and taller than the Japanese prototype, but at the same time shorter:

• width - 730 (694) mm;
• length - 1940 (1983) mm;
• height - 1100 (1039) mm.
• seat height - 818 (787) mm.

In parentheses, the prototype indicators are Honda cbr150.

Curb weight (with all liquids filled) - 126 kg .

Modifications "Racer Ranger"

The motorcycle in question has several modifications. They are all made to look like a sports bike, differing in some technical characteristics and design. Below are their brief characteristics.

1. Racer Enduro. This is a classic version of a pit bike, with an engine capacity of 150 cubic centimeters. It is characterized by good performance for its data and high cross-country ability. The vehicle is designed for driving on a dirt road; it does not behave particularly confidently on asphalt.
2. Racer Skyway. This modification is equipped with a four-stroke engine with one cylinder and a volume of 200 cc. cm. The sports motorcycle has a modern design, behaves confidently on city and country roads, and has a 10-liter fuel tank. The unit is easy to maintain and has a harmonious combination of weight, speed and power. Perfect for beginner motorcyclists.

Owner reviews of a motorcycle from China

Racer Ranger 200, reviews of which can be found on various interactive resources, is perfect for both city driving and traveling outside the city. First of all, the owners note the optimal combination of quality and price. This motorcycle, of course, does not reach the professional level, but it was also designed for other purposes. You can safely go hunting, traveling or fishing on it. Excellent design, good fuel supply, efficiency and unpretentiousness - these are the main advantages of the unit in question from China.

The fact that the production of the Racer Ranger brand bike has been established in Russia adds optimism. After all, now spare parts, consumables and motorcycle repairs will become even more accessible. In their reviews, the owners note that the equipment performs its main functionality perfectly. If you make some modifications, then for a lower price you can get an equal analogue to your Japanese competitors.

There are plenty of reviews on the Internet from beginners who don’t particularly understand how a motorcycle should work and how to maintain it. I tried to write a review as objectively as possible, using all my experience of riding motorcycles and knowledge of its structure. I have been riding various motorcycles for more than 10 years and have driven more than 50,000 km. I have also been repairing and servicing motorcycles for quite a long time. The post turned out to be long so that the reader could weigh for himself everything FOR and CONS of China. I also want to note that ALMOST all of China is at approximately the same level in terms of quality and the same mistakes are often allowed in different models, so if you are considering buying any new Chinese motorcycle, then I think this post will not be a waste of time for you. I’ll start from the very beginning, namely with the reason for which it was purchased. On June 14, I left Chelyabinsk on a Honda AX-1 motorcycle towards Gorny Altai and on June 20, while riding around Altai, I heard a knocking sound from the engine. The knocking intensified and I had to go to Biysk and send the motorcycle home to Chelyabinsk through a transport company. I returned home at the height of the motorcycle season, I couldn’t find the motorcycle, the model was very rare and all spare parts were only on order, so I decided to buy some kind of inexpensive motorcycle for the summer so that later sell it with minimal loss of value. At first I looked at the YBR 125, but when I saw its price on the secondary market, which is equal to the cost of new Chinese motorcycles with a more powerful engine and better suspension, I immediately realized that the YBR was not for me. I also looked at used Chinese ones, they were all sold quite expensively and in near-deplorable condition, with mileages of up to 10,000 km. This terrible state of the Chinese aftermarket is mainly due to two factors: 1. They are bought by beginners (and often very young) who do not know how to properly maintain the equipment, and do not particularly know how to drive, which leads to frequent falls and broken plastic. 2. This is the build quality, it often happens that the Chinese factory air filter is not sealed and all the dust flies into the CPG, which quickly kills it, also during assembly they may forget to apply lubricant to the bearings, etc. Not finding anything interesting on the secondary market, I started looking at new Chinese motorcycles. I like to ride not only on the highway, but I also like to ride on forest roads (I don’t climb into shit), so the choice fell on the Racer Ranger 200. The new motorcycle was sold for 95,500 rubles. The motorcycle in real life turned out to be larger than it seemed in the photographs (given my height of 185 cm, this is definitely a plus), as I came closer I noticed that there were already a couple of saffron milk caps on the NEW motorcycle. There were two identical motorcycles in the store, both with rust. They were produced back in 2014 and were not stored in the best conditions, which is why rust appeared, plus the quality of the Chinese paint job. When the seller started the motorcycle, what was added to the impression of the redheads was that the motorcycle was not able to hold idle and it started with difficulty (provided that they started it from time to time, as the seller himself said). The seller and their mechanic who passed by said that this is normal for these motorcycles, they say it will be run-in and will work like a clock, I have enough experience and it was clear to me that it was clearly not a matter of running-in, but not of the correct setting. Of course, it’s not particularly pleasant that the new motorcycle already needs adjustment (And why do they need a motorcycle service at the store???), but this didn’t really bother me because... It's not a problem to set it up yourself. It’s 50 km from the store to my house, and part of the way goes through the busy streets of Chelyabinsk. At the first traffic light I discovered that the motorcycle’s rear brake did not work at all, thanks that at least it had a front brake. Then, stopping at one of the traffic lights for a little while, I released the throttle and the motorcycle stalled, the green light came on, the cars started moving, and I was standing in the very center of a three-lane road and couldn’t start this bucket, I shamefully rolled it to the side of the road, started it there and continued driving . Then I discovered that my headlight was either on or off (poor contact). I was also not pleasantly surprised by the dynamics of the motorcycle, which did not even allow me to stay in the traffic in the city. Already halfway there, the first thing I wanted to do upon arriving home was to put this misunderstanding up for sale and get rid of it, because... It is completely impossible to ride this after a normal motorcycle. Having overcome the city with difficulty, I got to the highway, engaged fifth gear and slowly drove the last kilometers to the house. The next day, I completely disassembled the motorcycle and began to assemble everything myself with even hands and for myself, and not hastily just to start and drive away. During motorcycle reassembly:

-Changed the headlight bulb connector. I bought an H4 connector at an AvtoVAZ store, it fit perfectly and solved the problem of the light turning off spontaneously.

-There is not one waterproof connector on the motorcycle. Therefore, I coated all the connectors with automotive sealants to protect them from moisture.

-I also discovered that there was no lubricant anywhere. The bearings in the progression, steering column and pendulum ran dry. I wonder what the service life of a Chinese motorcycle is without lubrication? Although there are many answers on Avito and as a rule it is up to 10,000 km

-I replaced the oil seal protecting the right rear wheel bearing; instead of a 47*25*8 oil seal, the Chinese installed a 47*27*8 oil seal and there was a gap between the oil seal and the bushing, through which dirt and moisture freely flew into the bearing.

-There was already dust in the filter box. I washed it and put it together with sealant to prevent abrasive from leaking into the CPG.

-Replaced the brake fluid and adjusted the rear brake pedal. There was also no lubricant in the caliper guides. I filled the guides with special grease. In the front brake reservoir, the fluid was poured under the cap itself, it’s good that my brake didn’t jam somewhere along the way.

-I put all the bolts and nuts on a blue thread locker, knowing that the Chinese fasteners like to unscrew themselves from vibrations.

-I adjusted the valve clearance, they were both clamped and it is not surprising that the moped did not move and stalled.

-Adjusted the carburetor.

-Adjusted the free play of the clutch cable

-Replaced the transport oil in the engine with Lukoil Lux semi-synthetic 10w-40

-installed a gas filter

After normal assembly, the motorcycle became much more pleasant and safer to ride. At 700 km the speedometer stopped working. It turned out that the wire from the sensor on the wheel to the dashboard is not solid and has a joint exactly in the place where it is constantly being compressed and unclenched due to the large stroke of the fork. I cut off the damaged section of the wire and moved the junction lower where it would not be constantly broken. I hid the wire itself in a black corrugation for wiring (I also purchased it at a VAZ store). I drive a lot, so the run-in was done quite quickly. After running it in, I noticed that the motorcycle had a very strong dip when opening the gas during acceleration and the revs were too high at a fairly low speed on the highway. In order to remove the gaps, I got rid of the attachment to the filter box. After cutting off the original air intake, I made a splash guard from a plumbing coupling (so that when driving in the rain, water would not get into the air filter). There was no goal to do this beautifully, because the whole collective farm is hiding under the seat and is not visible. In the carburetor, I replaced the original 102 jet with a 107.5 (I bought the jet from a Lada in a VAZ store for 20 rubles), lowered the needle one notch down and adjusted screw quality mixture. The dips disappeared, the motorcycle began to spin up much faster. Now all that was left was to reduce the speed, the stock sprockets were 17/50, and I replaced the driven sprocket with 46 teeth. This made it possible to drive on the highway at speeds above 90 km/h (according to GPS) at speeds just below 7000 rpm. Also, the 17/46 chainring set performed well in light enduro riding. If you set even more “high-speed” stars, the motorcycle begins to “blow away” on the track and the minimum speed in 1st gear becomes too high for enduro.

Next will be a review of the operation of a normally assembled and configured motorcycle.

Headlight It copes with the role of DRL perfectly, but at night on unlit roads there is nothing to do with it. Driving at night on a highway with such lights at a speed above 50-60 km/h is already dangerous. The motorcycle is equipped with an HS1 12V 35/35W lamp, schoolchildren will of course run to change it to a regular H4 55/60 watt, but this should not be done for two reasons: 1. The wiring is not designed for 55 watts and will heat up and eat up some of the power of the lamp and it will still shine about 40-45 watts. The first problem can be easily eliminated by extending normal wires from the battery to the headlight and connecting them through a relay. Problem No. 2 is already more serious: the entire headlight is made entirely of plastic, including the mount for the lamp, and it will simply melt if heat from a full 55/60 watt is applied to it. Also, the headlight does not have an ideal CTG (cut-off line); there is a small parasitic light spot exactly where the eyes of the oncoming driver should be. Also from the factory, the headlight shines into the sky and into the eyes of oncoming traffic. I lowered the STG by reducing the length of the adjusting spring, this significantly reduced the number of cars that blink distantly. The problem with no light and a parasitic spot can be easily solved by installing an H4 LED lens; it costs about 1900 rubles. Dashboard I liked the tidy, although there were some Chinese mistakes here. It looks good and is perfectly readable from any angle, even on a sunny day. When driving at night, the backlight does not interfere. The fuel level indicator begins to drop when about half of the tank remains; you get used to this feature quite quickly and I will not classify it as a disadvantage. I like to reset the daily mileage after each refueling and was surprised to learn that this device does not have a daily mileage. It seems to be there, but it resets itself constantly when you turn the ignition key to 0. There is also a useless clock on the dashboard, which is also constantly reset when you turn the key. And this is a defect not of my copy, but of all Rangers 200. Also, among the disadvantages I would include the speedometer, which overestimates the speed by 9%. I also quickly got used to this because... It’s not difficult when driving on the highway at a speed of about 100 km/h to subtract 10 from the numbers on the instrument panel and find out the real speed; when driving at a speed of about 60, subtract 5 km/h and also get a speed close to reality. The odometer also overestimates the mileage by this 9%. Comfortable seating and suspension The seating position is very comfortable and, paired with a large and soft seat, allows you to drive along the highway without stopping for 3 hours in a row without any problems. The suspension is simply gorgeous, I didn’t expect this from China. She easily swallows small logs in the forest, in the city there are speed bumps and potholes on the roads. Also, when driving together with a passenger, the suspension is enough and does not break through. Riding in a standing position through the forest is also comfortable and the toothy metal footpegs prevent your feet from slipping off them. Engine and brakes The engine is installed 164 fml with a volume of 196 cm3, 5-speed gearbox, 2 valves and one cylinder, power according to the passport is 13 hp. Of course, there is not enough power and I would like something more powerful, but nevertheless it is faster and more powerful than the same YBR 125. The engine is very reliable and has a long service life with normal maintenance. The comfortable speed of a motorcycle on the highway is 90-100 km/h (according to GPS), two people travel the same amount and accelerate a little more sluggishly. It’s rare that a hill or wind can bring the speed below 90 km/h. The maximum speed is 110 km/h, so overtaking cars traveling faster than 90 km/h is quite difficult and not advisable. In the city now I drive even a little faster than the flow. I was pleased with the brakes, both front and rear, they allow you to stop the motorcycle quite quickly. The motor has a balancing shaft, so there is no hellish vibration that interferes with riding the motorcycle for a long time. But nevertheless the vibration is present and at certain speeds during acceleration it is felt quite clearly. Plastic and frame The plastic is of fairly good quality. Although there are some problems here too. The motorcycle never fell, but a crack appeared on the chain guard and the fastening of the plastic side panel to the gas tank broke off (most likely the fastener was broken during assembly in the store), I glued it to the tank with hot glue. It is also worth remembering that the Racer Ranger 200 is a soft enduro and therefore its plastic is not designed for frequent falls. I also didn’t like the attachment of the tool compartment lid. This lid can open on its own and fall off due to vibration, so I dripped glue onto its retainer so that it does not open on its own. The frame is welded and painted disgustingly. I noticed that the ear attaching the pendulum to the frame in the first half normally touches the frame and is welded, but the upper part of the ear does not touch the frame and the 3-4 mm gap is simply filled up with welding, ground with a grinder and painted. Of course, such a seam cannot support the load and the beginning of a crack is already visible there. Before the next season I will disassemble the motorcycle and completely weld the frame properly. I also came across a photo on the Internet where the frame of a Ranger 200 was broken due to a bad seam.

Gas tank and fuel consumption The gas tank according to the book is 14 liters, in fact it fits 12-13 liters (right up to the neck). My consumption ranges from 3.3-4.4 liters per 100 km, depending on the quality of the fuel, driving style, etc. The reserve is enough for about 30 km of travel (I didn’t risk driving more on the reserve). The gas tank is also not without its drawbacks; its cap does not press well enough, which is why if you fill the tank relatively full (3cm to the filler neck), then when driving on a bad road, gasoline begins to leak through the cap and flow down the front of the tank. Very little gasoline is wasted this way, but the dirty gasoline trail on the tank is annoying.

Overall, I liked the bike and am happy with the purchase. Once I assembled it properly, it became comfortable to drive both around the city and on the highway. I even went on a short distance trip of 1100 km. My friend’s post about this trip. Now the motorcycle's mileage according to the tidy is 5,500 km (remember that it overestimates, and the actual mileage is about 5,000 km). During this modest mileage, the motorcycle did not cause any problems and only made me happy. Next season I plan to travel with it from Chelyabinsk to the Altai Mountains. Then, after the trip, I’ll write another review about it and about modifications for long-distance driving.

Is this motorcycle worth buying? Definitely worth it, for this amount you won’t find anything more interesting on sale. You need to remember that most likely the store will sell you not a motorcycle, but only a set of hastily discarded components (no matter how the seller promises that the motorcycle needs to be broken in and it will be ideal). After the purchase, if you understand it yourself, then the first thing we do is roll it into the garage and begin to properly reassemble and configure it. If you don’t understand, then this is also not a reason to refuse the purchase, because you can carefully (so that it does not fall apart along the way) deliver the NEW motorcycle to a NORMAL motorcycle service center where it will be put in order. Even taking into account the costs of the service, the purchase will be profitable.

Disadvantages of the Chinese unit

Many users note that the model in question lacks the reliability of the original circuit. The developers are paying attention to this issue and are trying to modernize the node. The biggest complaint is that the chain quickly fails due to deformation or stretching. When buying a “Racer Ranger”, it is better to take care of immediately replacing the chain, which will allow you to maintain the “combat readiness” of the vehicle longer, and with a skillful approach, it will improve speed and power performance.

In addition, some samples of the unit in question are equipped with a throttle valve. To avoid flooding the candle, you must carefully study the instructions and be able to use this specific but useful element.

Specifics

There are various ways to transform a motorcycle. First of all, you should replace the chain, or buy a spare one, check and tighten all the nuts, bolts and other fasteners. It is recommended to run-in equipment at a speed no higher than 40 km/h. You also need to study the instruction manual and take note of what oil and gasoline to use.

In general, the equipment performed well in its original assembly both on country and city roads. The combination of price and quality for this unit has been selected as correctly as possible, and the design is at the highest level. The motorcycle is unpretentious in operation and maintenance, ideal for trips out of town, hunting, fishing, and has a sufficient supply of fuel.
