I was looking at the Prices on the new 2022 CSC TT250. Nothing wrong with the TT250 but depending on your location it's about the same price or more than the KPX. :hmm: For that money, the KPX is a much better deal in my opinion. (Unless you live in California)
250cc engine VS 229cc,
20 HP vs 16 HP,
6 speed VS 5 speed,
EFI vs Carburetor,
Aluminum rims vs Steel rims,
Heavy duty swingarm vs stamped steel,
Front Forks 41mm vs 37mm.
Two year warranty vs One year warranty.

I'll have to measure but the forks even look look larger.

+1 on that. The KPX is the better bike all around.

Lifan also has just over 100 dealers across the US so should make it easy to find support close by. https://www.americanlifan.com/dealer-locator

I just checked and Blue and Red are in stock now. https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...d-street-legal

Wow, that was quicker than their salesman thought. I'm leaning blue but like the green too.

I can't seem to find a weight capacity for this bike. Anyone know it?

So Jerry, any info on the banjo sizes for the oil cooler? And where do you get the lines?

The banjo connector on the engine is 10mm. The oil cooler takes a 12 mm. I already had the oil lines. I'm sure if you search on amazon you can find them already made.

Was going thru your thread and saw you answered this via edit in post #140. Thanks.

Other question: do we know yet what model #s of JT front and rear sprockets fit this bike?

I haven't verified it yet as I'm happy with the current gearing. It does look like it will take the same rear sprocket as the Hawk for the 520 chain and the front I'll have to remove to get the correct measurements. I'm pretty sure I have what I'll need and will post actual part #'s when verified.

Thanks. Being brand new to bikes, do you think of the capacity is that high, as long as suspension is set up for any weight under that, that performance shouldn't be that negatively affected?
