TT250 Nor Cal (Foothills, East of Sacramento)

2LZ · 07-30-2019, 01:57 PM

Thinning the herd folks. Mrs. 2LZ has decided to part with her TT250 and has chosen to keep the RX3. This is the famous "Phoenix Project" that I did for the forum a year or so back.

The bike has less than 700 miles total. In short, it's barely broke in.

Asking $1750.00. For what the TT250 costs new (CARB Approved) and with all the mods and details below, I feel this is a very fair price.

Here's the details I copied and pasted from my original write-up....but I have changed the grips since then, new battery and also added mjsteph's gauge cluster. To answer your question, no...the lady doesn't go with the bike.

Bike also comes with all original parts I removed during project.

No super-low balls please and you pick up. If you're interested, please pm me.

Mods and Upgrades:

Scott Double D Grips - White
Acerbis Uniko Hand Guards - White
TTO Tach/Hour meter
Bars Painted to Match the Plastics
Tusk 30mm (7/8”) Risers
Cruiser Assy’s Black Metal License Plate Frame
Unibear 428 Chain
Nibbi Racing 42mm Air Filter
Gates Fuel Line and Upgraded Fuel Filter
Mikuni VM26 (30MM) Carb
Same EBay Exhaust Everyone Else Bought
ARTR Titanium Exhaust Header Wrap (2”)
DEI High Temp Silicone Exhaust Wrap Coating
NGK DR8IEX Iridium Spark Plug
JTR269.47 Rear Sprocket
Air Box Delete
Smog Delete
Air Inlet Head Plate Mod
“Trash Can Mod”

Maintenance:

Checked and Reset Goose Neck Bearings
Cleaned, Greased and Torqued Swingarm Bushings (No Spec - 25 ft lbs left it free but snug)
Cleaned and Lightly Greased Rear Shock Mounts, Torqued to Spec (22 ft lbs)
Loosened and Re-Torqued all Motor Mounts to Spec (18-22 ft lbs, respectively)

Somebody is going to make a sweet deal on a TT250. Only issue I see is you done did all the mods and took all the fun out of having a new china bike.

We all know this bike was well maintained and done properly.

I assuming with only 700 miles she selling it because it's not getting used. I'm sure it was a hard decision to make to let it go.

Exactly. Much of my herd is rarely used and I'm selling more than this. My neighbor is buying my white RX3 and the Corvette is on the chopping block, as well. Now that I'm home, I want to get some other projects done with the money.

ALSO!...and TT250 some with an extra lowered seat! It has both the stock and lowered seat. I forgot to mention that.

wedooit, sent you a pm.

Just don't put Q on the chopping block.

Looks like she's sold folks. The buyer (seems like a very nice guy) is a new member here who's had China scooter experience in the past and is now delving into the dual sports.
He's been lurking but hopefully he'll post an introduction and become an active part of our twisted little community.
EDIT: New owner received TT250 in perfect condition from the shipper, has taken it for a few quick rides and loves it!
