Yes no good because if that's,the route to go down then just buy one in Thailand for 23.000 RMB and do the same.
But that's not my way.
Legal or no bike.
But why not consider a legal Thai CRF and miss out China ???
So that confirms my #352 above. Two times independent same statement.
I stay then with my (now reliable built) X2 at first, even its not at all comparable to a CRF250.
BTW: I have changed all engine bearings to to real Japanese ones.
On the original built in is mentioned "Japan" all over (but crankshaft bearings are from chinese brand C&U), but putting the fakes side by side with the real you see big differences at each point.(rings, cages, cage rivets) ... The rolling properties not to mention.
After starting with the new bearings the engine runs smoother with less vibration on upper RPMs and the mechanical sound in idle mode is now likeca engine should sound. Amazing.
Thanks to Barry who gave me the list of bearing specs which saved a lot of time.

It would seem that the oil cooler is back on the new version :)

Do you know if the new one is fuel injected yet.
19.5 KW from a 400cc engine not that great
When the Linfan 173FMM engine is 15 KW and is a 6 speed box.
I just can't see it does greater then 150 kmh.
If it's got EFI I buy one and try it out.
With not being abel to get the CRF Modron I think the X5 is your best bet.
I think there is a choice between carb and EFI.
I know that them Shineray "scramblers" are EFI so id imagine that X5 can be too. Im opting for a carb version.
Bike will be dead over 3500 meters so why not EFI. ?Quote:

Will buy a new bike prolly in the spring tho
The tire sizes on X5 are 90-90-21 front and 130-80-18 rear. I had a look on taobao and there is not much choice in this size. What other size could I fit and it would be safe? I dont have enough experience to sort it out myself.
And other question is what would that be in inches? Ive googled and some calculators say 130-80 tire is same as 2.50-3.50 tire, some that its 4.00-4.50 and others say 5.00-5.10
Im all confused
Hi Modron
Lets look at what is fitted to the Honda CRF 250L.
Make IRC.
Size. Front 3.00-21 51P
Rear 120/80-18 62.
Now guys in Thailand who are looking for better grip off road fit
Dunlop D606
I have covered over 43.000km on the IRC tyres and I like them very much not great off road and when I mean off road far worst then what you will need in China .
And I find them very good on the tarmac.
Yes the back is smaller then what is fitted to the X5 but look at the kw of the X5 and the KG compared to the CRF.
Well I hope this helps
All the best .
I was quite satisfied with the Kenda tires. Just the wet grip is performing bit lower.
I used it for 10k km All terrain travel.
Only thick mud is closing the profile completely, but for that condition u need knobbis anyway

Nice pics Shuben and thanks for some info Prince
I do like to take bikes on bad roads and am simply doing some research before I buy. Ive found a lot of sets on taobao in sizes 2.75-21 and 4.10-18. I think now that those sizes might fit the X5. In the worst case I will buy the cheapest set (RMB120!!!) in that size and try them on, if fit then can buy better.
To convert mm size tyres into inches size tyres just ÷ by 25.4
So 90 -90-21 are 3.50" and the back 130 are 5.10"

look here according to this street and knobbies have different sizes. 130-80 streey are 5.00-5.10 like you said but 130-80 knobbies are 4.00-4.50. And the front in both cases (90-90) is 2.75-3.00 which has nothing to do with inches as it should be 3.50 like you mentioned ;)
Maxxis tire chart is also inconsistent 90-90 is 2.75-3.00 and 130-80 is 5.00-5.10
Does anyone know something about ECU which is installed in X5? There is Synerject control unit http://www.synerject.com/en/2-3-whee...andalone-p30-6 I need to reset DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) and can't find any info how I can do that. I can't find info which diagnostic tool I can connect to the ECU to be able to clean the codes. I'll be thankfull for any help.
Know someone working at SYM or Kymco shop ? Those bike are using Synerject which may solve it...Quote:

I decided to disconnect/connect the sensor to be sure that the problem is not in the wires. After that I got one more code blinking by "check engine" light - "21" (MAP sensor diagnosis). That's because intake air temperature and preasure sensor are the same physical thing. So at the moment when I turn the key and right red button to start position I see that "check engine" is blinking "21" and then "7". Once I start engine the lamp goes to off state. I hope that it's blinking the errors from log and not the actual ones so I would like to reset them to see if they appear again. I'm contacting the dealer to know how he can help me. If no success with him I'll probably try to buy some diagnostic tool with K-line interface and will try to connect to the ECU.Quote:

It needs to be checked out but the engine wont be damaged.
Dunno if this is true, its what he said ;)
P.S. Im going to buy The X5 in November but still thinking if I should get the carb or the EFI
EFI would be my choice.

IMO it's about spot on.
Just ordered the X5. Should arrive in about a week. I went for the export version which is 2.5cm taller. Lets hope it will put smile on my face ;)
With some modifications and it is an acceptable bike.

Wheel bearing spec must be somewhere earlier in this thread.
I also would add heated grips. Also see earlier above here.
I had also added a luggage rack and 12V connector.
