Bashan BS200GY-18

**culcune** · 09-03-2014, 04:36 AM

Looking over that old thread, I had posted a link to motobuys--they do have the storm 200 and (speaking of blasts from the past from the name) the Jetmoto 200 (the same model as the guy in the thread but in 200cc engine size). I had a 2005 (maybe '06--don't remember?!) Jetmoto 200 which looked just like the guy in the thread's bike or the 'Jetmoto' on motobuys.

I think that Bashan went ahead and did the EPA/DOT certification for their 229cc and 200cc bikes which allows the certification to be used on a whole slew of bike models utilizing the same engines. My Jetmoto was manufactured by Shineray, but if this is really a 'jetmoto' now they are manufactured by Bashan as far as certification goes.

Yeah. I am not happy with a remote start system on a Chinese bike. Or any bike for that matter. But, I'm not sure the 200 has it also?

I may give Wade Liu another shot at a quote for me. I asked him a while back, and he replied that he would get me a quote the next week, and I never heard from him again. TMEC does have an impressive on line parts manual. Bashon does not. You have to call a dealer and let them look up your parts I understand.

So, this is the 200cc Bashon? Tell me this. Does it have a remote start? The reason I ask is that, I have heard the 250cc Bashon has that. I really want no part of a Chinese bike with a remote start system.

I have pretty much gone with an easy break in on my new motorcycles. Very the throttle a lot. Don't over speed it. Don't lug the engine. Maybe short rides followed by a good cool down period. Maybe a good 10W-40 motorcycle oil. I hesitate to suggest a 15W-40 because I had a Kawasaki KLR650 that did fine with a 10W-40 oil. Never used any, ran well, no excess noises. Then, one winter, I tried a Delo 400 15W-40 oil. When starting the bike cold with that oil, it knocked like crazy. Drained it, and went back to a 10W-40, and all was well again. Here i Hawaii (big island), I can use a 10W-40, or the Ddlo 400 15W-40 with no ill effects in our two scooters.
But, unless you live in an extreme climate, the 10W-40 should work fine, I would think. Let us know how much oil your new bike holds too.
Have fun, and let's hear all about it.

So, it has a made in Japan Kehin carberator? That should be a good thing.

I hope you already changed the oil! The stuff in it is not real oil--change it and do not ride until you change it!! However, before you change it, warm the engine up so it all drains out as it tends to be thick when cold. I use Castrol 10W-40 motorcycle oil because I can buy it in the 1 liter bottle (they also sell it by the quart) and my TMEC needs 1 liter according to specs--it is more out of convenience I pay the extra for it (the bike specifies 15W-40) at the chain auto parts store near me (O'Reilly's Auto Parts).

Break-in--go easy for a few hundred km's or miles (you need to figure out if your speedo/odometer is really in MPH or KM's), varying your speed, but don't go too fast. Some people recommend the 'ride it like you stole it' method of break-in, but I would suggest you research it, and those people tend to be mechanically inclined (not sure what you would classify yourself as).
