some i know who can't find same connector just replace also the connector matched w/ the new bulb....
some also upgrade to HID lighting system, they claim low wattage high lumens, but expensive in my place

hey guys im new to the zongshend and biking in general, any idea where i can get replacement parts, for instance the one thing i need is a windsheild, also when i turn on my lights my guages are hard to see, is that the same problem for everyone else, is there anything i can do to brighten them up, like put led's or what?  thanks for the info

sir, is your gs200 guages w/ the white panel? if so then you have 1st gen zongshen, swap the stock guage lights (1.7w) with 3w or 5w bulbs (or LEDs) to notice improvement...no problem for newer gs250 w/ black panels, red needles and green numbers

behind headlight housing left side...
neutral switch, remove 2 bolts cover of small sprocket, follow light green/red stripe wire...
compatible bulb can be halogen (35w) above 35w could melt the headlight plastic housing....

during cold weather starts specially in the morning, using the choke is very normal, pull it out and give it a little gas and w/in a minute should idle smoothly on its own.  i live also in the mountains and after doing some research about carbs, we are using cv (constant velocity) carbs, and one advatage of it over slide carbs is, its not affected by elevation (bonus answer). on the left side you'll see just on screw head, w/ engine fully warm close it clockwise until engine just begin to die then back out ccw w/ 1/4 turns until u hear the highest idle

hi my bike is surdging real bad at higher rpms. at about 65mph to 70 it is the worst. if i rev the engine in netural you can feel and hear the surdging starting at 6000 rpms. checked fuel delivery no problem there. any body know anything about the ignition system does it have a revlimiter ect? everything else on the bike is great just one little bug.

sir try to do some 'tune-up', your carb could be running lean or rich, you could start from 1 3/4 turn from closed position of the a/f mix screw, i sometimes run my zongshen at 70mph and above (but not beyond 74) for few minutes on clear roads and no surging at all

those two plastic things look like rubber grommets...for plastic fairings?
two allen head bolts... did you check the instrument panel mountings? the handlebar mounting bolts (3 for each side)
rear brake caliper mounting?
not sure about those two bigger nuts...double check all bolts

the 2nd picture, yes there's two hose from carb w/out connection, one you pointed and the other found below the carb, just route them behind the engine...

3rd picture, that is not a crack, that acts as a clamp, when you adjust the two clutch cable nuts and still no response, just losen the nut on that clamp, pull out and adjust pointing to the right then readjust again the clutch cable nuts...

Hi guys, just want to share a bit….

Finished with the break-in? you can follow the ‘manual style soft break-in’ or the ‘hard break-in’ I’ve seen here http://[b]http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm[/b], after some confusion and debate I did combination of both…haha.. either way use mineral based oil during break-in, after 2500kms I switched to semi-synthetic oil and noticed improvement specially on gear shifts
 
Spark plugs? The stock one is adequate enough, but for upgrade you can try a platinum or iridium plug (replaced mine after 2000kms), gives me more mileage between replacement, still using same iridium plug after 6000kms+…still one click starts in the morning

More mpg?…consider also the air/fuel mixture of the carb, I adjusted mine 1 ¾ turn to 2 turns from fully closed position (clockwise-closed, ccw-open) and idle speed to 1300-1400rpm, make sure bike is fully warmed-up….and don’t forget to clean the air filter element (foam) or you get rich mixture on the carb, mine consumes around 30-35kms/liter.

Exhaust? I prefer mine as stock, I did try an open-pipe on my previous ride and not so friendly to the ears…w/ the low bass tone it produce, enough to trigger cars alarms nearby when revving…but when changing to free flowing mufflers you also have to consider re jetting the carb and modifying the air intake…so your mpg will get lower, more power = more gas, I’ve seen a ‘catalytic converter’ on the pipe…don’t remove (my place requires to pass smoke emission tests when registering bike)

Stock tires.. Hard compound (more mileage) but slippery…, now I noticed my stock tires getting thin, and considering upgrade, I’ve read nice feedback on bridgestone, Pirelli, Dunlop….etc, so for now take it easy on the curves…

Sir drummerben did you check the fuel cut-off switch/valve? Should be in ’on’ position…
If your bike doesn’t have an external fuel filter you may want to consider this, I installed an aftermarket fuel filter and add a few inches of fuel hose, just to make sure no dirt/water particles enter the carb

thanks for appreciating...

i had this for about a year now...locally assembled here we have 3 color schemes to choose from, blue/gray, black/gray and red/gray…

nice to have a customs neighbor, you can even design your own paint scheme..

yes, maybe I could share some useful info about the bike.
We could start from here, if you don’t have it yet…this maybe useful when ordering parts later on or when assembling parts, from zongshen Australia: http://http://www.zongshen.com.au/downloads/ZS250GS.pdf
