    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. 20150415_182910[1].jpg

    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.

    Confirmed, much appreciated. This is exactly what I needed thanks.

    Wasn't even sure this engine had an oil filter, which it does.

    Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be back.

    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...

    now while they are all clones of a similar cg modeled 250, they are hardly all the same...
    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...

    yikes... I might do that once every 5 years or so, but in general id say that's a bit obsessive for regular maintenance.

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

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

    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

    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

    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

    Thanks again, short and sweet. But this bike deserves more reviews.
