New rider but I have some questions

Cmiller · 04-16-2020, 03:08 AM

I’m fresh into riding but I’m getting a gpx tse250r and I was wonder if anyone can answer my questions I have.
I’m 6’ 2” does anyone have this bike and know if the bike will suite me
My other question is: is there any version of the lectern carb (or any performance carb) that could or would fit on this bike

I would recommend looking for the Facebook group, and giving this thread: https://advrider.com/f/threads/gpx-t...nduro.1270364/ a look through.

There's not a lot of people on here with GPXs. I think it would fit you fine, and I know that GPX have a race pipe, carb, and ecm that make a big difference.

That being said, while I understand it is mild-mannered for a 2t, I wouldn't change much/anything until you've got some significant seat time, these can be quite a handful.

The best upgrade for someone new to the sport, after protective equipment and a riders' class, is simply seat time. Best of luck, and don't forget to keep the oil injection tank topped up!

The lectron carbs have never been as popular as the Mikuni ,so it will probably be a little tougher finding jets and things local for them ,but they were good units .If you are not a good tinkerer or figure it out yourself guy ,you might just be better off with a mikuni as there is not much that has not been covered millions of times about them so lots of help and guidance is available .

Find the channel Pain's Ride on youtube. He is a member here and has that bike now. He did have to dial in his fuel-injection, but now feels the bike is very good. Here is a recent video.

This is the 2t, it's not injected.

Thanks for clarifying! Pitster/GPX sure are confusing nowadays!!

I'm just shocked that a 2 stroke is being peddled. I miss them. Real power.

They even sell the motor itself as a "crate engine" for $2k.
