I thought I would share my recent efforts to establish a realistic top speed for my SSR/Italjet Buccaneer 250i, since I see a lot of interest in top speeds here. I've worked out some general ideas on...

The exhaust note is less raspy than the Buccaneer 250i's (sharing the same motor). Nice video!

Congratulations! I've got the same version of that Lifan fuel-injected motor in my SSR/Italjet Buccaneer, and predict you'll be very happy with it. I'll be interested in your future reports.

That's what I thought about the rear signal, when mine failed. But in the process of replacing it with the warranty item I found there is a typical threaded stalk in there, so the OEM could easily be...

I know they make an excellent clone of the Yamaha Virago 250 v-twin, with Delphi fuel injection. I've got one in my Buccaneer and haven't had a single problem with it. There is a cruiser built by...

Here's another observation about the motor. I finally got my wife to ride on the back yesterday and the day before. We weigh about 375 lbs together (don't tell her I said so!). I intentionally rode...

It sounds to me like the switch needs to be replaced. I'm still making do with a dodgy switch on my newer Guzzi that I never got around to replacing, 20,000 miles ago. Sometimes replacement is the...

Great news! Which mountains, if you don't mind saying?

I don't know of anyone using rubber engine mounts. Are they made for the Virago 250, perhaps?

I found using really heavy bar-end weights...

Don't overlook the ABS being introduced on the Caffeina. I'd like to have that.

As I believe I mentioned before, this cosmetic design is older than the Buccaneer, and was to be produced and sold...

Yep, that's very interesting indeed. Much more swarf than mine, and a good reason not to use samples of n = 2 for inference.

I would still maintain that manufacturers have good reasons for their...

I think the Lifan motor is an exact copy of the Yamaha, between the engine covers on the two sides and the intake and exhaust ports. But I don't know for sure.

One thing I would add is that the...

Charles,

It would be a help if you would measure your voltage under different loads with your stock stator and any new stator. I measured mine with four different loads today: low beam, high beam,...

It reminds me of Moto Guzzis. The usual refrain is to blame assembly errors on "Luigi," drinking on the job, right there in the Italian factory.

The manufacturer must have had an...

Think as you like.

I suggest we go back to Charles's intent, "sharing my experiences with this bike as I'm enjoying it," and leave this other topic behind.

Nope. No-alcohol high-test only.
