Is There an Aftermarket Engine for CSC TT250?
So I killed the engine on my TT250. I was thinking about selling it (currently have it listed on Craigslist), but I just love it too much. I don't want to spend a ton of money fixing it though. Someone on Craigslist sent me a message saying this engine would fit the bike.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/TFCFL-200...ion/1935265966 The mounts on the front of the engine look different though. So I thought I'd ask the pros over here. Is there an aftermarket engine under $500 that fits the CSC TT250? Basically, my back is shot and I don't feel like doing a rebuild, but a quick engine swap, might not be so bad. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. This site has saved me on so many occasions! :thanks: |
Out of curiosity how did you kill the engine? These are supposed to be near bulletproof in Chinese terms

Just for the hell of it, try contacting CSC and tell them your experience, you never know, they may try to help you get it sorted out and/or help with replacement part costs

The CSC engine has a counter balancer, that is why it looks different for the front mount.

The Brozz 250 motor may be a direct bolt in. It’s also made by Zongshen, is counterbalanced, and a CG250. It’s also less than $500 to your door.

if you can fabricate new front brackets the wallmart CG250 engine should fit fine..
As mentioned the CSC enginer is counterbalanced which is that front case protrusion... the other engine mounts should be the same... If you go with the CG250 just be aware of the gear pattern...Some engines are listed as ATV engines with a reverse gear.... |

is a replacement for the motor on the Hawk? |

@BitcoinDood Did you decide on an engine? https://www.chinariders.net/images/s...er_offline.gifI'm considering the TT250, just wondering what mpg you are getting while highway riding? Is that with the stock jet or an improved jet? I'm also interested in a new engine or big-bore if that can add a few more HP to cruise at 65mph more easily - I understand the bike isn't made for 75mph cruising. The engine is also a HOV (vs OHC), so that may make a new top-end easier.

Welcome to China Riders!!!
I LOVE my TT250's. I get 63 MPG out of them. Max sustained speeds are 60-65 MPH. I'm 6' 1" tall and weigh 230+ pounds with full ATGATT. My body is a sail in a tropical storm at those speeds, which probably slows me down a bit. I swapped the stock jets with a 112 and they all purr. They are torque monsters. I'm glad I bought them. At the time (October 2020) they were the best China Bike on the market. I'm a huge cheerleader for CSC Motorcycles. That being said, I bought them before the KPX250 came out. If I were in the market for dual sports right now, I'd buy the KPX250 hands down. Fuel injected 6 speed with plenty of low-end grunt. LOTS of other members here got them and are absolutely thrilled with their choice. Please read through this thread (it's a Sticky) and every other thread on the KPX250. https://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=31083 https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...d-street-legal Quote:

well if the PR250 (172fmm-5) engine fits in a tt250 frame you would get the same power/6gears...
Just comes down to the counterbalance case protrusion and head clearances... |
@Hunnicutt, XLsior: Your posts are extremely helpful. They are a bit off-topic, but so good, I'll should start a new thread.

2023 Honda XR150L BASE MSRP: $2,971 Destination Charge: $200.00 Freight Surcharge: $100.00 https://powersports.honda.com/motorc...AaAgo_EALw_wcB Although Idk if you could actually get it at that listed price lol. |

The KPX is kind of like how the SS3 aka KPMini 150 out-Groms the Grom. The SS3 does it at around $500+ less than the Grom, whereas the KPX is around the same price. Resale is probably where the Hondas would beat the Lifans in the long-term, but the Lifan bikes are starting to 'grow' on people, so they might not take significant hits on resale later on. |

From a quick google search KPX 250 top speed stock - 80MPH Honda XR150L top speed stock - 70MPH Where I live the highest speed limit you will see is 65 - so either would do fine, with the honda just slightly behind. Personally, I would never take either on the highway/freeway, as I need something that can get up out of the way. (Speed limit may be 65 but everyone and their mom is doing 90) My main reason for the honda over the KPX would be the warranty. Problems with the Honda would be Honda's problems to fix - Problems with Chinese bikes (KPX?) are typically your problems to fix. |
Rear disc brake (debatable) is one upgrade people would prefer (we have had this argument before with dual-sports--rear disc vs. drum). The KPX has upside down forks is another. Again, debatable as to how 'necessary' they are.
Lifan does have an actual warranty, but if you aren't buying from a brick-and-mortar dealership, you will have to have the parts shipped to you. The Honda is a good choice over any Chinese bike as far as warranty goes and resale, but one has to resign themself to having a smaller engine which may or may not matter to some people; as you indicated, this is not an issue for you. |

Is the Lifan warranty any good? I have the X-pro hawk and the warranty was only 3 months long lol. Funny reading that, considering it's still mostly a chinese bike lol, just with a japanese engine and some accessories thrown on it. Oddly enough it has a smaller engine, yet it's superior to most of the larger Chinese engines, besides the KPX, that is. I understand now, picking the KPX for performance reasons based on the stronger engine, top speed, and brakes. I'm just not someone who looks for performance from cheap bikes. |
