These bikes are awesome!! I have also done a bit of work to mine. I am at about 3000 miles at the moment and it is still running strong. I use it to commute a 75 mile round trip daily when it is not raining. With what I have done to it, I can cruise between 65&70 when needed with no issues.Great purchase, I have learned a lot about motors owning one of these and I don’t regret it. Great video!
Thank you!! And I’m glad to hear your out there using it like it’s meant for…they are definitely a great way to learn mechanics as well being relatively simple so that’s always a plus!!
Great review, Jay is a man of his word and trust worthy. He has personally walked me through a few things on one of these bikes and it runs like a champ now.
Thank you I really appreciate that!! I’m always happy to hear feedback like what I’m doing here is actually netting positive results!! Very much appreciate you & if there’s Any way I can ever help you don’t hesitate to ask!!
@@Jboost412 you like getting feedback? Well, I know of several angry people looking for either their parts or money back claiming you have ghosted them after taking their money.
Do you have any videos of changing out the front and rear sprocket? Or the exhaust? I would love to see first hand how to do it instead of pay someone to do it.
Dude the. Best thing. About this bike is not the fact that it's so good for so cheap but all the basic upgrades you just mentioned didn't cost me more than 300 dollars for me it's. The fact that you can upgrade it with so little and Still have a functional bike
Yes sir it was much better looking i the bike in my opinion then the factory one so I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one & if you’d like to get one for yourself they’re available on eBay I believe I kid somewhere around 20-25 bucks for that one so pretty cheap
@@Jboost412 once i get this nibbi tuned right and bike has been smooth i would get that for sure. My bike hasnt been running well, and im muckin with the nibbin 28fl. I cant tell what direction to go and its giving me some regrets about this bike. Its hesitating somewhere between the 15 to 30 percent throttle
Did you happen to check the position of your needle jet…I’ve been noticing the fl carbs coming with a needle jet clip position around the top instead of the middle like you’d normally start & that’s right around where it starts to take affect let me know what you find!!
Thank you very much!! Oddly enough you are the first person in all these years to notice I have mine clocked to fire 45ish degrees to the right inte as if the factory/conventional way 😉 if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask!!
talked to you on facebook about these a coouple times, and i'm rocking over 6k now on mine, been down a lot this summer though just due to my laziiness.
Great video, with a properly jetted and adjusted carb, adjusted valve lash and 17-45 sprockets I hit 70 mph yesterday after my bike was finally broken in. I do want to do the big bore kit and forks this winter along with the clutch spring
@@chrisMcG17 My bike is stock I'm about 300' elevation. I have A 110 main jet I shimmed the needle with a small washer and I'm about 2 and a quarter turns out on the air fuel screw. That works for me
So my jetting wouldn’t be applicable to any other CG based bike without the corresponding modifications & a similar elevation but at the moment I’m using a 132.5 for the main & 42 for the pilot at 1100-1200ft ASL needle jet clip in the #2 position….what’s your elevation there & what’s currently done to the bike?
Hey Jay, not sure if your still checking up on these videos but I am wondering what specific model IMS shifter you used. I bought one ages ago to try and use and the spline fit was too big. I recently started wearing dirtbike boots and can't reach my crappy amazon replacement shifter for the life of me.
great video man. One question, which ignition coil did you use, I went on amazon but there's quite a few , also if you can point me to the right spark plug that would be great, I don't want to buy the incorrect one....thank you and your bike looks bad ass
Depending on the length of your studs the PE28 will not bolt directly on one stud his the choke housing preventing it from being tight together. Have to modify the studs
Really have to say for starting off as a 1600 dollar bike delivered to my door it acceded every expectation I had from close to stock “just the few necessities” to the point it’s at now running with all of the custom things we do here for them & ship around the country to other China bike owners!!
Hey man my names Garrett Reynolds I just bought an rps hawk 250 replaced the carb, voltage regulator, spark plug, exhaust and ignition coil it will start but and idle ok but it surges and cuts out at certain points and when I give it throttle it absolutely falls on its face. I have tried every combination of needle depth and air fuel mixture possible nothing has worked. I assumed that the next thing I replace should be the cdi so I have a black box for a crf230 coming from eBay. I’m hoping that this solves my problem but I am not sure. I have also adjusted the valve clearance to 0.006. I hope this makes it run I haven’t been able to ride it yet. If you have any tips let me know thanks for your time man
Hey glad to hear your enjoying your Tbr7 build up to this point!! So the mirrors I’ve been I have had on the bike since basically the very beginning so I don’t remember who makes them 😂 but I know there’s a link for them in the video descriptions of my 500 mile review video I did a while back the link should still be good as it’s a Amazon link but if not let me know so I can not only get you one that does work but fix a broken link in my video!!
@Jboost412 what front break and clutch leavers did you get. I cant get the screws out of my front break resaver. So i just want to change it and put aleen or torx head screws in.
Jay, what year forks are them and are they a direct fit ,also where did you purchase them. I've been looking and looking for some stronger better fork for my Tbr7 250. The stock ones seems a bit on the thin side. know what I mean!
mine goes 65, rejected the stock carb but never did the valves, I know I need to do it but it's lasted 4000 miles(not the km off the od) no pipe, no come filter completely stock other then a 115 main jet, and it starts without chock every time... I'm fairly sure it's more tolerant to abuse then it's made out to be
I got a Honda CR250 front shock from probably 1997 or so, its the upside down model. WIll it fit? I also have a rear swingarm but its from a 1995 Troy Lee design yz 125..wonder if it will fit too? I am super noobs to bikes, just getting started thanks for the video! I want a Tbr7 to putt around the colorado trails! but like your upgrades
Got mine in February 2020 after recovering from a crash in December. Only things I've changed are handlebars, grips, 17t front sprocket, CDI box, sparkplug and snipping that annoying beeper. Followed you since the 1,000 mile review. Been procrastinating on carburetor for months now. Also been eyeing swingarms and forks on eBay, but do you know the model numbers by chance?
Glad to hear you’ve been able to get back to riding!! I went down hard years back on one of my R6’s met the highway at 65ish mph wasn’t a very pretty sight 🤦♂️ as far as carburetors go nowadays I really have to recommend the pe28FL I did a review on a few months back it’s a direct fit flange style carb but with the typical Nibbi quality so definitely a nice addition to one’s bike to replace that pz30/vm26 clone carb that’s stamped 30mm but is really more so a 25mm carb!! Swing arms & forks I have a video on the topic here somewhere on my channel I’ll say first off you could technically use any fork set or swing arm you’d like but by far the easiest upgrade is using the 91-96 Honda XR250L version for the forks it has to be a L model or you won’t have the provision for a ignition or gauge cluster which all swapped right over from the chonda setup to the Honda then you need a new wheel speed sensor which I have linked in said video along with wheel bearings if you choose to use the China wheels since the Honda axles are much larger in diameter the swing arm can be from a 91-96 xr250 L or R model and you’ll just have to decide again if you want to use the Honda rear caliper & bracket along with a rear Honda xr wheel if you choose to use the China bike wheel in the back no biggie you’ll just need to cut the Honda brake mount on the swing arm a bit to allow the China bike caliper to fit correctly which was what I did here since xr250 wheels ended up being hard to find at least when I did my swap it was so a little work with a grinder & cut off wheel the factory caliper worked fine and still doesn’t give me any kind of issues today thanks for being a part of my channel!! And if there’s anyway I can help you with your build definitely don’t hesitate to ask!!
Awesome. Thank you so much for the in depth response. It's great to have been able to jump back on a bike so quick and the TBR7 was super easy to get. I've not had any major complaints with the bike over the 2 years I've been daily riding it as a year-rounder, including winter months with snow. I had actually watched the video about the PE28FL as well. I'll go ahead and order this. I think I'm going to keep the air box though instead of a pod filter because I do occasionally have to ride in heavier rain. The XR250L stuff is exactly what I had been browsing for. I'll also keep an eye out on wheels but can find replacement stock wheels on PartsKit for like $50 each in a pinch. Also wanted to ask if you've noticed random spots of frame rust; especially on the (stock) swing arm and weld areas. When I notice some popping up I wire brush it and go over the area with a rattle can. It seems to 'fix' the job and I've not noticed the spots of rust come back in those areas. The repaint isn't even noticeable which is great.
Absolutely I’m the type of person when I see comments on RUclips I’m always happy to help!! For rust sport yeah I typically just wire brush them clean and recoat the area with primer sealer & paint
@@Jboost412 Hey there, Jay. Wanted to get some more clarification about forks before I make an order here. Do you know if the XR500R or 600R would work the same as your 250L? I know some had a speedometer so our cluster should bolt right up, yeah? Edit: So looking back over your suspension upgrade video it looks like the triple clamp on that XR500R and 600R don't have the mounting spots for the ignition and cluster unfortunately. Sucks because could get them for dirt cheap.
If you find any on your own come back and post where you got them, got a whole top end build in parts sitting around but I'd like to have some better springs to complete it.
hey bro sry to bother,what things should i swap on my shineray xplorer 200,ive changed break calipers ive changed the headlight but i dont know what carb,forks,swingarm and rear end to put on,also can u recommend me a front fender for it since u say the suzuki one wont fit on the normal forks(the bike is very similar to the one you have its also chinese)
I'm looking to lower my Tbr7. I was going to start with a swingarm. If I wanted to lower it 2 inches, what would be the best swingarm to use to accomplish that?
anyone know if they made an over head valve motor mines a 19 hawk 250 carb I went to go do valve adjustments and it has a chain on top do I still have to adjust clearences?
Absolutely I use it as a loop hole here since it’s a road legal vehicle with a tag insurance registration etc etc it allows me to use the trails where they don’t allow dirt bikes or atvs etc etc it does great!!
Even just replacing the factory tires getting the spokes tensioned correctly a quick valve adjustment & carb swap made the Tbr7/hawk 250 very capable in the trails….wasnt fast enough for my taste just yet but it had no issues with climbing up hills or anything like that!!
Also I did valve adjustment on mind slight ticking now…? and yea I’m positive I’m on the compression stroke since the intake valve open then closed then line the T line up intake .003 “and .004” exhaust. also running valoline 10w30 wet clutch oil..: tapping noise normal my uncle said ,”just let them be “
Yeah with a Honda CG engine a tick is perfectly normal when they’re adjusted correctly…you can adjust the lash to any one of these settings .002-.025-.003-.004 the lesser of the initial lash will tick less but need adjustment sooner & so on
Anything I can do to help never hesitate to ask!! I built this bike for fun because I felt like the reviews I seen about them weren’t done properly they just took them out of the crate no adjustments to the carb or the valves and said they made no power couldn’t climb a hill etc etc when that’s absolutely a lie these engines are like a tractor tons of low end grunt for the woods & cost next to nothing to maintain!!
@@Jboost412 I've seen nothing but overwhelmingly positive reviews from people like yourself. The only negative reviews I've seen, or from people who didn't realize what they were buying
Well one I speak of that definitely have the bike a bad image was by a popular RUclips channel bikes & beards I believe it was it’s not so much that he made it look bad because he tried his best to break it every way possible & couldn’t 🤣 but the initial tests he shows it barely climbing a hill in the trails for example which was only because it’s running leaner then any engine should as well it had no valve adjustment so it was down on compression by roughly 50ish psi costing it allot of power so while it wasn’t per say meant to be negative it just didn’t display the bike in a way I felt was good…as had he taken 45 minutes to jet the carb & loosen the lash adjusters it would of climbed any hill he put in front of it 😁
@@Jboost412 Honestly, the worse people think this bike is, the cheaper it's going to remain! I don't mind people hating on it! This will be my first bike. I had a Yamaha 90 as a kid, but never did ANY maintenance to it. Definitely learned a lot on RUclips the last few days. Valves, carbs, exhaust, ect. Definitely have a lot to learn, but there's a lot of resource for it
Honestly I’m not really sure!! My initial cost was 1600 for the bike shipped here then with a part here part there one can have a properly running bike reliable bike like this that’s brand new for around 2k ready to ride to anywhere my situation is a bit different because I run a group for these bike & offer performance upgrades I definitely have put more into it then your average owner would ever have to…shooting a random number out there probably 3,000ish dollars over time testing this buying that so I can give honest first hand opinions on what really needs to be done to make one run correctly or to be able to show people exactly how capable a Amazon dual sport can be
18 thousand miles n going strong here

My initial cost was 1600 for the bike shipped here then with a part here part there one can have a properly running bike reliable bike like this that’s brand new for around 2k ready to ride to anywhere my situation is a bit different because I run a group for these bike & offer performance upgrades I definitely have put more into it then your average owner would ever have to…shooting a random number out there probably 3,000ish dollars over time testing this buying that so I can give honest first hand opinions on what really needs to be done to make one run correctly or to be able to show people exactly how capable a Amazon dual sport can be
