Ive fixed many things on my own vehicle, but never on a motorcycle. This is my very first motorcycle, please wish me luck CSC and thankyou for making such helpful resources. This amount of support is what made me purchase from your conpany.
I am about to place an order for the SG250 after being on a 12 year riding hiatus. Had a Honda and a Kawi ER-6n. I picked CSC due to their commitment to provide support, parts and instructional videos. Made in China but this bike looks solid and from what I can observe the build quality is great. The same cannot be said about the plethora of bikes available on Amazon. While cheaper, I've heard nightmare stories about build quality and sourcing parts. The other aspect to my decision is how greedy motorcycle dealer are and how much they tack on their bikes. RE, Honda, Kawi and etc. The nearest Honda dealer quoted me an exorbitant $1,800 over asking for a miniscule Grom. Insane! This bike seems to fit the bill. Lightweight, low seat and won't break the bank. Although I'm a bit curious about how I would look on it. I'm only 5'7" but my legs are long with a 30.5" inseam. I will mostly cruise around my mountain town. No commute to work since I retire 3 months ago at 52.
As far as any instructional video goes, this one is grade A top notch stuff! I’ve been thinking about a csc 250 but the thought of doing carb and valve work makes me a bit hesitant. Videos like this show that it’s not really all that bad. Only thing I can think of to add is maybe torque specs for the nuts and bolts.
Even worse is in the PDF manual from the CSC website, they have it written as .007 mm along with many other inconsistencies. It made my first time adjusting the valves a little frustrating.
Great tutorial for the TT250 or SG250. I recommend similar tutorials for the other models. It would be very useful if you would point out all the electrical components of the various models...for example, where the relays live and what they are for, fuze location and function, where to find the switched 12V auxiliary leads.
Thanks for the suggestion Peter. Now that we have a full time crew working on the TH-cam channel I am sure we will get around to that very soon. I will mention it to the crew. Thanks!
Hey bro...can you show us how to reduce the preload on the rear shock I have a 2024 tt250. I assume you can turn that red ring below the shock coil. How many turns can I subtract from the factory setting on it now?
Most factory recommendations for valve gap are based on a min-max range. Our experiences with this engine have shown that the exhaust valve tends to tighten more than the intake. We use the same feeler gauge, but tend to have a slightly looser fit on the exhaust (to achieve a slightly larger gap).
But your updated website doesn't have the maintenance tutorial anymore... haven't checked on a desktop, but no where to be seen on mobile devices. Good thing I took lots of screen shots.
I don't think so. Have you checked the Stock Replacement parts section TT250 Parts/Engine parts diagrams? cscmotorcycles.com/stock-replacement-parts/tt250-parts/engine-parts/
I’m having problems with the rocker lock nuts coming loose. I follow all the steps listed and tighten the nuts pretty good, but after 20 minutes of riding they loosen up and the valves start knocking. What am I doing wrong?

Congrats on your early retirement mate!

You can find it by looking up the maintenance manual on their website. It gives you the torque specs for each size bolt.
In the video he says use the zero point seven six (0.76) mm feeler gauge, but it's actually the zero point zero seven six.(0.076) mm one.
Even worse is in the PDF manual from the CSC website, they have it written as .007 mm along with many other inconsistencies. It made my first time adjusting the valves a little frustrating.
@@ShacknastyNick but now In this video it says both valves @ 0.03 I'm really confused
Thank you for posting! Keep 'em coming! How about a video showing how to change the rear sprocket and replace the factory chain?
Yes!
This is exactly the video I've needed for the past 6 months! Hell yeah! Keep the good stuff coming CSC!!!!
Thank you, Hope it is helpful.
Is there any recommended torque specs for tightening the rocker lock nuts and valve cover bolts?

I will mention it to the crew. Thanks!
What a wonderful explaination!👍👍
Thank you! 😃
I'll definitely have the pro work on mine😁 don't have the tools nor the time. Already busy doing nothing. That's GOLD JERRY GOLD!👏👏👏
This is good men continue 😊
Can you make a video for the first service or annual service?
Keep this good content going
Thank you, glad you like it!
CSC Motorcycles looking on how to get that sg250 to Puerto Rico
Very clear. Thank you so much

Great work. Kindly make a valve adjustment video if possible for CSC RX3 as well, that's a humble request.
We haven't done a video but here is a good link from our service tutorials page that might help. cscmotorcycles.com/rx3-valve-adjustment/
Shouldn't the intake and exhaust be different gage ?
Most factory recommendations for valve gap are based on a min-max range. Our experiences with this engine have shown that the exhaust valve tends to tighten more than the intake. We use the same feeler gauge, but tend to have a slightly looser fit on the exhaust (to achieve a slightly larger gap).
Awesome 👍👍
Perfect!
What size on my feeler gauge for exhaust and intake .003 ?? Both intake and exhaust the same size ???
But your updated website doesn't have the maintenance tutorial anymore... haven't checked on a desktop, but no where to be seen on mobile devices. Good thing I took lots of screen shots.
We are updating the new site, all the tutorials will be back up soon.
Thanks
@@cscmotorcycles2297 that's great! I've been enjoying my bike a lot, thanks!
What is the charcoal canister for?
It’s a California emissions bike the charcoal can egr etc won’t be equipped on bikes sold outside of California
Where the rock arm assembly attached to the cylinder head are there dowel pins on the two outer bolts?
If so do you have a part number for them?
I don't think so. Have you checked the Stock Replacement parts section TT250 Parts/Engine parts diagrams?
