Finally some details
Quote:
Thank you for posting the photos and spec sheet for the TT250 bike. I like what I see!, and will be a buying customer. The only addition, or accessory that is a "must have" for me is a tachometer. An integrated tach would be nice, but I'd be happy with an accessory or after market tachometer. Everything else I desire in a personal bike's equipment I'll furnish and install myself. Thanks again for the posting. |

Looking at those photos, i am really impressed by the quality of the paint, fittings and detail, like wave discs and the end piece on the silencer. Great colour schemes too.

Other Colors?

I'm looking for a white color. Easier to keep clean than a black color. |

I see many exact same parts on the TT as I do on my X-Moto Hondoid. Some of the handlebar controls, calipers, boxed swingarm, forks, etc....but it looks like this could possibly be one of the best Hondoids yet to appear. Of course, the pushrod motors are bullet proof. By the provided specs, it appears to be a 167FMM?? No left side shots I've seen yet for the tell-tale "eyeball".
Between the TT, the Hawk and some of the others now offered, it seems the time-tested guts of the bikes are remaining much the same, but the finish and styling has been vastly improved.....along with support from folks like CSC.

CSC just posted the first of many maintenance tutorials for the TT Special. You can find the Oil Change Tutorial on the CSC Blog at the following link.

do these csc bikes come prepped ready to ride motor wise? or do they need valve adjusts, carb tune or replace like the hawk bikes.

Even if they are prepped, be prepared to check the valves yourself after riding a short time. It's super easy on a CG motor. The carb remains to be seen, since it will depend on elevation.

I wouldn't be fast to swap out the stock carb. I've had three (soon to be four) Keihin clone carbs on Hondoids and I haven't had a lick of trouble with any of them. Just rejet for your elevation, reset your idle mixture and away you go. The Hensim 150's I had didn't even need rejetting. I just reset the idle mixtures. They're extremely responsive carbs when set up properly. The REAL Mikuni CV on my Q Link has been much more testy of a carb than any of my Keihin clones. It's not near as responsive because you rely on vaccuum to pull up the slide. Plus, if it sits for any length of time, I need to get to the pilot jet, guaranteed.
Keep in mind, they lean the heck out of these things for some reason. Resetting your idle mixture alone cures many of the ills....and is far cheaper than buying a new carb.

I'm with you, 2LZ.
The trouble comes with the new tamper-proof fasteners on the carb bowl, and the trouble sourcing jets for some Keihin clones. If the stock carb meets one's needs, run it. If it doesn't, there's a $40 Mikuni solution.
