SHINERAY HUSQVARNA branded S.W.M

**ShuBen** · 03-25-2017, 03:03 PM

Have not seen this bike yet. From the photos it looks like air cooled. I remember that they sold a bike looking very similar to the X2. So I assume this here is a spin off with some new fairing and luggage system.
Will try to find more about it.
I am curious now....

On the Russian website www.mot-o.com I found some more pics. The bike I mentioned above was / is an air cooled 250 with a horrible big beak and they named it 150 some thing a fooled the authority for emission reasons for registration.
I think that is the base for this X trail.

Yes that's make sense because at the back on the side panels there was some stickers with their codes with 150 in them I then asked the dealer is it a 250cc ?
Yes he said.
By the way it was 8800 Rmb ?
Had to have one pick it up Monday.
Thanks for the input.

For 8.8k you will have to have a very careful eye on all details.
My lowest concern would be the engine. I suggest special attention to frame, fork, suspension and cable routing.
.... and of course keep loctide at hand 😁

Yes for sure need to keep a eye on all the bolts lol
Bike was purchessed so a USA friend could ride from kunming to Beijing heading north west up the nice route through the mountains.
So we only need it to last 4000 km or so.
Did look at the Suzuki GW250 and the GW250F
But these bikes cost 23.000 and 25.000 rmb .
So when we see the Shineray 250 X-Trail for 8800 it was a no brainer IMO.
Hope to get a buyer in Beijing for the 3 week old bike ?
If no luck I said I give him 4000 RMB for the bike So for me it's a cheap run around .
Thanks for the tips.

Maybe invest some RMB in an acceptable chain. That avoids 20x chain adjustment on your 4k km 😁

Thanks good advise.

Today I re fueled the RS500R.
In fully open condition it used 6.4L /100km 😱 .... Must buy a gas station.
OK, I am not what one calls passive rider, but...
I will do 2 more refilling rounds in this condition and then re install the O2 sensor and see what's happen then.
Just read it would reduce power by about 5% but also optimize fuel consumption.
Let's find out

Wow ....
I could understand if you was riding in track races and the need to beat the guy next to you.

But already the bike is not slow and with the tank size not being the bigger tank in the world put the CO2 sensor back in IMO and home your riding skills.
There is more to being the fastest kid on the block then just power

Is it a 7.2 L Tank ..

So you talking about maybe 120km tank range.?
Wow...... need to think about a bigger tank.
Sounds like a very nice bike.

**ShuBen** · 03-26-2017, 11:05 PM

As I understand from reading my current setup is the race setup.
So I shouldn't be too much surprised.
..... And for riding style, yeah I should stay sober, but it feels like having a bicycle on steroids 💪😁
