Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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.html
Somewhere on YOUKU is their trailer.
The bike definetly is fun, I was out of country for some weeks, so battery is dead now, no kick start, so have to recharge before having fun again.
Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
Cool, I'll check it out. Seems like there are many more foreigner riders in Kunming than there are in Chengdu.

Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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:
Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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!
Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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.

Hi Nima,
there are some guys in Sweden that race the Shineray. They offer some tuning parts.
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...

Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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 ?
Re: Shineray XY250GY-2 (aka X2)
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.
