Sportbikes / Re: 2006 ZS250-5 Bike won't go over 60 mph?

« on: May 20, 2011, 03:49:35 PM »

A cruiser? I'm pretty sure it is a sportbike. I have the model messed up, but it is definitely a sports bike.

I'd like to check all that stuff, but I don't have a manual. Do you know where I can get a manual for a 250cc Zongshen sportsbike, specifically a 2006 Zongshen GS250-5 Sportsbike Owner's
Manual?

Thanks!

Also, i can't seem to find how to drain the oil on this bike. Can I get a diagram of the drip hole? I checked the bottom of the bike and saw now screw that I could drain the oil from.

Thanks.

Sportbikes / Oil coming out of exhaust?

Today oil started coming out of the exhaust and the bike just dies randomly when I'm driving. Any idea what is causing this? I've done nothing new to the bike lately. I suspect the o-ring broke. How do I replace this? Anyone know where I can get a manual for this, so I can try to fix this? Thanks!

Sportbikes / 2006 ZS250-5 Bike won't go over 60 mph?

Hello,
I recently bought my first bike on Craigslist. It is a 2006 Zongshen ZS250-5 Sports bike. 250cc. It has around 1700 miles on it, and according to the previous owner, it had been sitting in a shed for about 6 months before I got it.

Anyways, it starts up fine. However, I just took it on the highway for the first time today, and couldn't get it over 60 mph. It goes up to 120 mph on the speedometer, and up to 14k rpms, but I couldn't get it over 8k rpms either. I have to get it all the way to 4th gear to go around 40, and then anything above is 5th gear. With full throttle in 5th, it goes around 7k rpm and 55-60 mph, and I can feel it cutting out a bit like it isn't getting gas.

So, my question is: how do I fix this? What do you suggest I do? I think I will take it to a local cycle shop to see if I can get it tuned up and whatnot, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do myself, as I'd like to learn.

Also, off topic, but is an owner's manual available online somewhere? I didn't get get one when I purchased this, and I'd like to take a look at it. I don't even know what kind of oil it needs.

Many thanks in advance! I greatly appreciate your time.
