Nice looking bike - I believe I might have actually met you in Kunming a few weeks ago outside of Salvador's. That bike might have been a Galaxy 250 though, I'm not positive. Anyway, very nice, looks like fun!
I don't currently have a bike but I know exactly what you mean with all Chinese bikes requiring attention and patience!
Hi Charlie, I dont think I meet you, so I guess you meet the "Salvador guys" they ride Galaxy's. --> http://www.gokunming.com/en/blog/ite...0NDgwNjky.htmlQuote:

Cool, I'll check it out. Seems like there are many more foreigner riders in Kunming than there are in Chengdu.
Hello andre555. I live in Sweden and drive a XY250GY Enduro (the are called Defenda here). I use my bike as a "weekend warior". Drive dirt roads and trails. Not so much tarmac. The bike stand the abuse quite well. The milage so far is about 1500km and runtime around 35hrs.
The only problem I have is that the bike "eats" chain guides? I Have changed my guide three times? Have you had the same problem? I dont understand why. The only thing I can think about is that the rear sprocket is to big (think it is 54). Is it the same size on the motard?
Here is some pics of my bike :riding:
Hello & welcome bebbe,
the sprocket is definitely smaller - its 46. I remember we discussed about that, but the forum search sucks…can’t find it.
I had no issues with my chain guard yet. But I replaced the original chain from KTM – same amount of links, same dimensions.
Only the engine is a Honda NX250 copy/license. The wheels, spring/shock setup is strongly inspired by the 450 KTM's. I guess that is where you can find better quality spares.
The bike is good for the money you pay – especially compared to other offerings in China. It’s worth its money and holds up really well. I complained about some issues at the beginning but since I have the bike it does what it was intended for – delivering fun!
No breakdowns on the road. All the “improvements” I did where just customizing to make it fit my frame (100kg/2m)…and poor dealer service as mostly in China.
Have you put any of the “defenda” tuning items into it, carb, cams, or is it stock?
Have fun with your bike and let us see some more pics riding around in Scandinavia!
No, I have not put any tuning parts on it. But here in sweden the bike comes with a catalythic converter. So I have changed the exhaust pipe and retuned the carb.
I may give it a new carb and cam but I will get a spare engine first.
I have also changed the chain.

Check their homepage here: http://www.jmsracing.nu/ (google translate is your friend :naughty:)
They offer modified cams, carbs (VM34, Mikuni?!) and a Big Bore kit...

thanks brother
i wanna know if you and bebbe have this kind (the one in my photos )of carb when u first got the bike ?
Can anybody weight the bike and post the real number?
One easy way to do it is to just take a scale and weight first the front wheel and then the rear wheel.
The sum of the 2 measures gives a pretty accurate total weight.
Checked 70kg front + 70kg rear ~ 140kg wet (incl. Fuel, Oil, Cooling Liquid)
The spec says 128kg for the motard version. That may be dry or its not correct.
I guess there is lots of potential to strip down weight if you really want it (Wheels are very heavy, electric starter - replace with kickstart, rack, exhaust,...)
The enduro should be a bit lighter (no lights, indicators, mirrors, sidestand...). Maybe 130-135kg wet, spec was something like 115kg, must be dry again.
Thank you Andre. As I supposed, it can be an ok bike in motard version, but a pig in enduro riding. At least for the kind of enduro we like to ride.
plz any body give us a clear picture of the carb .... any accelerator pump exist?
It's a PZ30 carb, and you will find it on many bikes in China. I have one on my Galaxy TGR250.

I believe it does have some kind of accelerator pump on it.
Cheers!

In Sweden we almost only use the bike as an enduro. And our terrain is really technical. It works really fine for that purpouse. Much because its nice engine and nice suspension. The dry weight of 115kg is not to heavy (even if a lighter bike would have been nice).
Before I drove a Yamaha YZ125 as an enduro bike in the same terrain. That bike was really light but the power band made the bike a handfull to drive in our terrain. I am much faster and more relaxed when I drive the XY250 in the same terrain.
thanks chinaV
yes it has the pump :) and it seems that every one is happy with the performance and no need to change the hole carb ..may be some jets and have fun
cheers

Bringing it back from the dead!
Did anyone ever pinpoint the frame model it is derived from? I have a 2012 and need to redo the rear suspension to fit 5'6" 125lbs.
Has any body got ideas on replacement plastics maybe ktm that will fit....with some fine tuning lol
