Before I disseminate bad information, I was misinformed by the person who called for me. What they actually said was they don't have the model I want now, and I'll have to wait until Feb 16 because of the coming lunar new year. Which probably still means about two months.
snakeeater - I'll be riding my TGR in zengcheng over CNY if you are around
It will likely be the same for any other bike now, if they don't have any in stock you'll have to wait a bit longer then usual. Even if they do, you might still get screwed by logistics! If you're in such a hurry, your best bet will probably be to take whatever is in a showroom. Spring festival, does one need to say more ;)Quote:

Does anyone knows any ebay-shop where I can buy cooling radiator, plastics, exhaust and some other parts for my X2?
Thanks
You wont find parts for x2 on ebay, only on tao-bao.Quote:

Also I have changed the headlight to xenon lens, carburetor to Keihin FCR 32mm and now I am going to install 272cc cilinder and piston.
The bike have been used in roads and off roads too. I often use it as city transport and sometimes at motocross track on 21\18 wheels. As for me, the only problem is the weight of the bike, it is too heavy for hard-enduro and motocross, but it is pretty reliable and good bike for adventure and light-enduro riding.
Sorry for mistakes, if you have questions or new opinions about the bike - I will be happy to hear it!
I need two sets of complete 21" front wheels to my shineray X2 where can I find them and to send them to Europe?
You can buy wheels on tao-bao.com (if you have agents, who trades with tao-bao, in your country). Also you can buy wheels from KTM XC 250 07-12 model year, just pay attention to axle size, older KTMs has smaller axles.
I have bought set of wheels 21\18 from tao-bao, their price was about 200 $ + 20% commission of the agent + 15 $\1kg shipping. Wheels for KTM are more expensive.

What is the gearing like on these? I know that on the 200cc China bikes I've had before you would be in fifth gear by 30MPH. Is it possible to ride a wheelie on this without running out of gear? My last DBs were Hon CRF450, Yam YZF450, and KTM EXC450 so I don't want to be super disappointed if I get one.
X2 with stock carb and sprockets (14/46) is not able to wheelie from throttle even on 1st gear. Now I have Keihin FCR 32mm carb, 300cc cylinder and sprockets 14/50, and wheelie from throttle is possible. In any case, it is senseless to compare 450cc MX bike with 250cc street legal enduro.
Actually, the KTM EXC is street legal and it out handled the Yam and Hon purpose built race bikes. The suspension looks good, the bike looks good, I just can't believe that the X2X can't even wheelie. Even the 200cc bikes could pull the wheel up but would run out of gear as soon as it did.
What Markin says you can not just wheelie with pure power from ripping open the throttle, like larger cc bikes, thats true.
However, if you have the feeling with the clutch you can certainly clutch wheelie it, plenty of vids around and I can also get the front wheel up. (Due to my limited skills it cant be called a wheelie)
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzgxNjQ5ODg0.html
Stock gearing with the off road wheels is 14/52 btw. 14/46 on the supermoto.

I just received a message from Shineray on Facebook, they said the 2013 X2X is 300cc. The website has not been updated in who knows how many years so does anybody else know about this? I will visit their booth at the Canton Fair and update everyone if nobody knows.
By the way, stock clutch slipped in my bike when was sharply released (for example, when trying to wheelie). It slipped till the bike was new, at different types of oil - Motul 10w40, Silkolene 10w50 etc. I put 3 forced clutch springs and 3 stock, and now it works without slipping.
One more thing: x2 is a bit heavy bike (135kg) and has long swingarm, also stock engine is not very powerful (because of weak stock carburetor, catalytic afterburner in exhaust ). So, it is not easy to make wheelie and aggressive riding on stock bike. But after some upgrades this bike becomes a nice machine for fun, engine has a good potential. The only incorrigible bug, that prevents from full-fledged usage of the bike on SM or MX track is the weight of the bike. If it"s weight was 15-20 kg less, these bike would be ideal.
Guys, does anybody know how to change seals and oil in FastAce front fork? What is the oil volume, what special tools will i need for seal change? Is this fork with open chamber or with closed (is it necessary to fill cartridge with oil)? May be, somebody has a manual for this fork? Thanks.
I just found out yesterday from Shineray that the X2X is now 300cc but with no other changes. It was a shame that they did not have the bike there, but the Chungking 400 and XY250-3 looked nice.Attachment 15187
if they have increased the bore I hope they modified the head because that's going to really wreck the combustion chamber shape no substitute for cubes but its gotta burn efficiently or waste of heat as for the question about the forks I doubt they are cartridge type to find the oil level without a service manual , fully compress the fork fill it with oil , extend it and put in the spring put on the lid and compress it with two fat bastards , it will probably lock up so remove 50ml at a time with a syringe until it has full movement. the air space above the oil has a spring effect so you can keep removing oil to soften the stroke up to the point where it bottoms out seals just have the dimensions on them and can usually be found at a bearing supplier remove the circlip pick out the seals with a bit of brass rod fashioned into a tool slide the new ones in on upside down forks you will need to remove the tube from the body there is an allen bolt at the bottom of the fork , you will need a good quality allen socket and a long extension. do not wreck this bolt...

They are selling these in Denmark....http://shineray.dk/shop/frontpage.html
The prices there seem delusional to me.
In China they are selling for around 17,000-18,000 RMB
19,800 for the XY400 in China or about $3,200.00 USD.

They should line the down pipes on those and they will not discolor, the bike should have a nice chrome exhaust that does not discolor.
I was also at the fair, Shineray had a nice booth, but did not show the X2, not the X5 and NOT the new X6. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...id=36860253550
The sales guy I was talking to seemed not to have much idea about anything.
For the 300CC, I think maybe for export, I doubt they get the type approval for China plates.
The booth from Asiawing was modest, they showed four of their latest offroad bikes, fell in love with the LD450 2014, sleeker and lighter than the X2. And the guys at the booth knew everything I wanted to know technically.

Hey, anybody out there has or seen the new X2X?
I just noticed them on taobao. Uncle google translate says:
The new X2 with the new EFI system the United States
But also shorten the wheelbase, bend performance compared X2X, 13%;
Water-cooled four-valve 250cc engine, the United States Visteon's EFI system, power output increase of 11%, 16% fuel savings, emissions to meet national standards;
The new one is about 1000kuai more expensive. They claim that the top speed of the new one is 161km/h.....while the old ones claimed top speed is 100km/h :lol8:
Old

I want to bring this topic back to life!
After looking longer time at CRF250 Honda and realizing that there is no really legal way to register them in China a new crazy idea had grown in my head. Start a new CN bike adventure and improve a local base to a acceptable machine. And satisfy my mechanic affinity.
My eye fell finally on the Shineray X2 250 enduro. After seeing Barry riding the crap out of his X2 and wonder that it is still running I start a bit investigation. That lead to the conclusion that its worth to give it a try.
Here is the plan:
a) buy a new legal B plated X2 250 Enduro with Carburetor (if not possible, with EFI... that can be replaced at the X2 against a carb)
b) Get the mod parts for the list below, start with the decided mods, prepare for the nice to have mods
c) execute all decided mods in step 1
d) execute all nice to have mods in step 2
The result should be a reliable 300cc bike that brings about 36HP. (total costs unplated about 28k RMB)
What I want from you guys out there: let me know mods that i should do in step 1 and advise for step 2
PLEASE !!!! HELP ME !!!!
Here is the list:

As an X2X owner myself with mechanical IQ about 30, I have been riding mine for over 3 years now. I have been having great fun with it while it works and without parts falling off it.
In a separate post I have mentioned about a few issues with X2X, such as the seat improvement, and my experience with the spokes (actually the rim, for which you can’t find strong enough spokes for it. I ended up replacing it with a custom rim from Comstar for over 2500 RMB.):
http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...ll=1#post57963
Just recently I have the front wheel bearing replaced. According to the mechanic that it is futile to replace it with a better graded one, as the wheel hub is not designed “correctly” and the bearing does not have enough support in order to stay snug over time. All the X2X owners I’ve known replace their front bearing before reaching 15K km on the clock without exception.
There are a few other things one need to keep a constant watch. But as I said, it is great fun riding it while it is rideable.
Regarding the carb pls. keep in mind that the space between the frame and engine is limited. You cant fit an FCR in there. I got a PE32 (no big bore kit) and its a really tight fit.
I still got a brand new aluminum exhaust, which is nicely made. I just wanted it to be possibly loud, so changed to the stainless exhaust right when I got the bike. If interested PM me.
