Yes, I've always thought the RS would benefit from a bit more umph.
I believe it's possible to fit the XL500 or 600/650 lump or maybe the FT or XBR but that's way beyond my abilities. There used to be a guy on here who'd done the conversion if you search.

Hi and welcome

I honestly don't know the answer to your question as I have no experience of Chinese engines, or for that matter RS250s, but I think a lot of Chinese engines are based around Suzuki GN series engines or Honda engines like the XR series. I suppose you have had a look at the Projects section of this website to see some of the amazing engine swaps people have done, might give you some encouragement or insight. Hope you get sorted.

Project Progress / Re: NEW PROJECT (BUT NOT A THUMPER)

My friend worked on the project again yesterday.
He finally got it running correctly after rewiring the fuel pump, refitting the cut out relay and disposing of the cheap aftermarket pump which the PO had fitted and substituting an OE type with new points.
We then had to fit some new O rings to the fuel rail which had sprung a leak.
We ran out of time to look fully into why the indicators only work intermittently as once again the carbs had to come off, be stripped and rebuilt and adjusted after fitting the now O rings.

Just wondering, is there any (Chinese?) Electric Start engine I could transplant into my CB250RS?  I wouldn't object to a jump (up) in capacity. Unless anyone has a decent RS250"D" lump for sale.

Not sure why this is happening, nothing obvious in the logs but will continue to investigate. If you get the error just refresh (Ctrl F5) and it seems to be ok

Thanks Martin, I’ve also temporarily put the wheels I’ve done for the RS tracker on there too, better brand new Bridgestone tyres on, plus stainless steel spokes. I’ll get a couple more Bridgestones on the original wheels then pop them back on once I start building the tracker up. They’ve made a huge difference to the feel of the handling, much more confidence in them👍
Cheers, Michael
