Hello guys,
So I just joined the Chinese motorcycle family.
I have a 250 SXR, but I cannot seem to find the location of the oil drain bolt or the oil filter.
Some places have said this bike doesn't actually have a filter.
Also, how many quartz of oil does this bike need?
Thanks in advance, looks like this will be my new home for a while. :clap:Attachment 17046
Even a manual of some type would suffice.
I've read around your forum and I found a post of someone explaining where the bolt is. But it was a 2011.
This is a 2013, and I cannot seem to find the cap anywhere. I don't want to loosen anything when this bike already vibrates like a cybian haha.
Thanks again guys.
Also, if anyone has a link where I can buy parts for this bike. I need the front left fairing, previous owner dropped her.
If your bike's engine have this little thing:

then this link should help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyhfqa3QP5k .
Pretty sure these have the same engine.

Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be back. :scooter:
Also thanks for the quick reply.
id use that the term 'same' loosely... the dong fangs im nearly positive are Loncin made engines, at least for the 2012 year models, while ccw uses lifan i believe...Quote:

for obvious differences there is the kickstart spline on the lifan, and for less obvious differences, well i found out some of them when i needed to bore out the push rod passages, head bolt holes, crackcase piston hole, and shim the cam follower in my engine rebuild...
but ya... your oil plug is in the same location... even the fool in the video aka 'Gardo' knows that much...
Nice sensible looking motorcycle.Quote:

as long as your filler don't look like this...

and this doesn't fall out of your engine...

then your fine
Thanks for all of the help.
I've been away cause I just had a little boy Sat night, Eastern time.
Spent 3 days in the hospital :cryfiddle:
After I read the post, the large flat bolt on the side of the engine seems to be the drain/filter bolt.
There isn't a drain bolt on the bottom at all.
Can't complain, you can't get more simple.
My overall review of this bike, ridden for about 150 miles, 136 when purchased.
My back break has ceased up, spent 3 hrs today trying to get the Pistons to retract.
Going down the road, a few days ago, I thought she was about to blow up.
Bogged really bad in first gear, parked and could barely push it.waited and I could move it enough to drive it home.
RE - bled the brakes, but now there's a leak somewhere.
My point is, this bike may or may not last me very long.
But when I do ride, she runs like a vibrator with fresh batteries :riding:
I'll keep updating you guys, one thing I know for sure, this bike is a needle in a hay stack to find any info.
Is there a reputable place I can buy parts? Worried I'll be waiting for a month for international shipping :yinyang:
Thanks again, short and sweet. But this bike deserves more reviews.
you can get parts on eBay, often from CA sellers.
just post what you need someone will help you find it.
if the rear brake ceased up it's likely caused from rusted/corroded brake poison chamber.
take it off, disassemble, clean with a solvent, dry, then grease it up and resemble..
don't freak out about these things nor rush to fix and just end up breaking something worse.
as cheap as this bike is, it's equally as simple.
and except for push rods, there are plenty of replacement parts to be had.
just not every single part like a rear brake piston for example. if you actually needed one, you won't likely find one, but rather need to get an entire caliper... but it's available
It has the overhead cam Honda clone engine. CB250 clone?
This parts PDF might help

I'm pretty sure it has an oil drain bolt in the crankcase.

Is there a label on the engine type and its manufacturer just above the serial number, LF-something-something for "Lifan" and LC-something-something for "Loncin"?Quote:

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. :lol8:Quote:

You'll find out about the engine from one source, about brakes from another source, on the sprockets from the third and so on. But have a doubt - you'll collect all the necessary info about the maintenance and repair very soon. As Axa wrote - they are simple, so have a little patience and you’ll get all you need. :riding:Quote:

're bleeding will not make a difference, nothing I've tried works.
Tried switching one of the two front calipers to the back, same issue.
Now no front brakes either lol.
Why won't these 're pressurize after 're bleeding using the blender screw?
I didn't realize this was a CB engine clone, all my comments, while some still apply, were meant for the CG clone.
but even if you can find a model number on a label, that doesn't mean the replacement parts you find may fit all that well. that is my experience.
250RTC They evidently can have either?Quote:

If you cannot bleed that out through the bleeder valve, then you would need to feed the fluid in through the valve itself there are tools you can buy to do that.Quote:

I had a bitch of a time bleeding the rear caliper one time on my DF. I ended up unbolting the the caliper off the bike, ( hose still on) hanging it down or up, I forget which , and using a Mityvac to get the air out.
But in this case, I find it a little strange that the CB engine vibrates so much (remember - Zero is compared it with a vibrator). :eek2:Quote:
