Took a plunge... trying a PP LXR250 EFI

ChondaChondaChonda · 04-13-2017, 05:51 PM

I wasn't sure if this fit in Dual Sport/Enduro or not. Feel free to move it or I can start over in the appropriate place if you would like. My intent is to use this bike (Pitster LXR250 EFI) as a mini-adventure bike.

My goal is to see if this bike can handle the variety in altitude, terrain and temperatures a typical year throws at us. We ride in Nevada, Utah, Idaho and occasionally N. Arizona. I want to use this thread to document this bike as it is one of the few fuel injected 250s I've seen from China.

The crated bike is sitting in my garage now and I will take pics and post them here as we put it together. I also plan to weigh it as shipped before riding it. Any suggestions from the group or requests can be done too.

On the way home I had to stop and tighten the straps:

Here is a peek with the crate partially unboxed:

A few more pics and a question for the gurus here:

Rear disk and swing arm hardware:

Valve access might be fun:

Right side of motor:

Left side:

Comes with a cooling fan on one side:

Here is the engine model number. I believe it to be similar to the Zong 250 that is in the RX3, but I'm not positive. Anyone know?

Ok. Last 2

Triple clamps look nice and adjustable:

Skid plate:

That's a nice looking ride. Where did you get it from, or did I miss that?

Change the oil & filter very soon after you start it.... see that gasket sealent
sticking out... well theres possably as much sticking in that will come off and mix

A little... but different in a few key places. The water pump is very similar.
