Templar X 250

[Nutcracker]

Wondering if you will upgrade your carb. I'm unsure what model this carb is maybe a PZ30. Ive contemplated getting a Nibbi but really can't say I'm unsatisfied with how this factory carb preforms.. Will be good to have others opinions..

Here's something you might choose to do. The ZS172FMM3-A engine in the bike is not counter balanced. It's buzzy at 45 50 mph Not ridiculous but some harmonicas come to play at certain RPMs. Researching "YouTube" I came across Harley owners filling there handle bars with lead bird shot to reduce handlebar buzz and fatigue.. I installed some bark busters and decided to give the idea a try. A mixture of #5 & #7 bird shot probably close to 1 lb to fill the handle leaving maybe an inch of room so it's not completely full. Wow! What a difference it makes. Probably reduced vibration by 70%. I don't like the Xtra weight but I'm very happy with the results...

Back in the racing days, the first generation Honda aluminum frames were bastards. You buzzed from vibrating so bad you’d swear your tooth fillings would fall out. Our fix was filling the twin spar frame tubes with expandable foam. Worked wonders, never heard of the buckshot idea though. Pretty clever

Mine is scheduled to be here today....Hoping for no shipping damage.

I haven’t thought too much about the carb, but I am kicking around the idea of adding an oil cooler

Lots of Street bikes come with bar end weights, which can be added to any bike, they do the same thing, quell the vibrations....

Dude, I'm excited for you all! Mine is scheduled for tomorrow, definitely a good thing because it just finished storming a bit and it's a little nasty out.

I already have the Nibbi 30mm with a jet kit saved for later on Amazon, knowing what I went through with my tbr7 last year and that PZ30, I immediately bought a mikuni and put a 110mm main 25 pilot and it made a world of difference, and doing this because I didn't have very many tools and the time to pop the PZ open and just replace the existing jets. I'm not too sure how different the PE30 is from the PZ30 or if it is, but I would just rather not deal with it. Also digging the idle adjustment valve instead of screw and the way it looks though haha.

What weight of oil normally goes into these? 10w-40?
Should I get hydraulic fluid for the front forks?
Looks to be a couple hours out

Edit: well we will try again tomorrow morning.
The LTL company couldn’t find our house, and the phone number they were given was no where close to mine.
Living rural has many advantages, chief being that no one even knows anyone lives where you do. Downside is even google maps can’t find me when I need them to lol.

I've been using Rotella 15w40 in all my bikes for a while. It seems to be very popular choice. For this engine to check the oil the dip stick is not threaded.. I had posted that it's 1 Quart of oil but researching Russia forms it's recommended 1300ml. So approx 1.37 quarts. The link below is a good source of information. It's Russian but the comments can easily be translated to English.. I've learned alot.

The video is a 7km Motor as Templar very well used and poorly maintained. He talks about the importance of regular oil changes, valve adjustment and when it's required timing chain adjustment..

Damn, tomorrow with me then! My address is like that, apparently on the other side of this highway I'm on there is another "500" so it comes up wrong on maps, and Amazon and other sites can't detect it as a physical address, really annoying, so I have to have it delivered to my g'pa's house up the road a little, I feel you on that, hopefully they get it to you tomorrow brother!

What does he call for valve adjustment settings?

Amen! Praying both our shipments come in unscathed and on schedule!
