2024 Templar 250 Base Model Review
This thread will be used to document my review of the Xpro Templar 250 (base model - not the M/X) that I have purchased for my 15 yo daughter to continue her riding journey.
Decision Process: I had bought an Xpro Storm DLX 150 for my daughter about 6 months ago that she learned on. Now that she has gotten proficient at riding, its time to upgrade. This bike will also be shared with my son so that he can join me on off-road trips Cost: $1850 shipped to Virginia Make/Model: DB-K012. This is basically the Titan DLX with the Zongshen overhead cam 19hp 5-speed engine fitted. MCO: will confirm that i order/receive the MCO saying "motorcycle" Ordering: I purchased from powersportsmax.com Estimated delivery time: 1 week Maintenance Plans: loctite as much as possible during the build, cover any exposed wiring, oil change, valve adjust, drill and cotter pin both axles Mod Plans: as with all China bikes, im sure i will need to re-jet the carb but thats tbd for now. I may also re-gear if needed

Update: arrived today (R&L) in perfect condition, wrapped nicely around the cardboard/metal frame with everything secured with zip ties and straps. This is the second shipment out of 4 to date, with the last being the Storm 150 that has been flawless with no issues.. i think the chances are much better than in the past that deliveries are becoming uneventful thankfully.
MC: says "motorcycle" with Make: ZUMA Model: K5-CB250F Build plans: lube axles, wheel bearings, swingarm, disassemble neck to lube steering stem bearings, locktite necessary bolts, balance wheels Add-ons to install: bark busters, 14T front sprocket (after grinding down the cover as needed for fitment)

Started the build.. I inspected the steering stem and it looks good, has blue factory lube already, slathered some extra. I also went to install the 14T front sprocket but unfortunately there isn't enough clearance and you cant simply sand out the cover to make it work.
I also balanced the wheels, definitely a worthwhile investment to buy a wheel balancer and some spoke weights. Also slathered grease inside the wheel bearings. So far things are looking good from the factory, pleasantly surprised to see lock nuts on the axles and good wheel spacers.
