Back to a 250 By kczukiman (Read 1,029 times)

Hey all !
Two years ago, I decided to sell my JCL MP250 and get a 150cc scooter. At the time I thought it would be a good idea being a short ride to work and back it would be less issues not having to deal with potential over heating. The 150 did serve me well but I missed the power and the comfort of the 250 from the start.
Finally after my wife beating me home on our scooter rides almost every time , Her being much smaller in stature, I decided enough is enough. Two weeks ago I sold my 150 and purchased this 2012
Jonway.

The scooter arrived to me in KC area after 4 days from order. Not a scratch on it. To my surprise it was a 244cc not the 257 as I had on my last one.
I must say I am not disappointed at all. I have 420 miles on it as of today and had it up to 75 on the gps, with no effort at all.
And yes JR I got the red one. Lol
You would think that after all these years they would have fixed their wonderful sound system. Oh well the mp3 player works just fine.

Looks just like my 2008 mc 250b. Sound system ! There's a sound system ? You've got to be kidding .....

Man oh man the chicken is back! Thought you had just up and disappeared! Pretty scooter and for sure it's a fast RED scooter!

Glad to see you my friend.

Good to be back ol buddy !
been lurking from time to time. Ive not only had the 150. I even had couple E-ton beamers that I enjoyed building on. Just decided to sell all of them and get back to a two scooter house hold. Makes life much simpler.( And the wife much happier).
I really don't see a whole lot of difference thus far in quality between the 2008 and the 2012. They do put the radiator on the front on the 244 cc's now instead of the rear.
And the mp3 controls are on the left side so you don't have to take your hand off the throttle to adjust it. No more grommets to bolt on the wind shield, its washered screws now.
And I think I will enjoy adjusting valves much more.

Congratulations on the new scoot and welcome back. You will also enjoy working on the CVT more (2 bolts). It's nice to see product improvements even if it does take years. I would assume that the radiator you now have is the same as the 257cc engine? This will take some of the load off the charging system. Just in time for summer. Let us now how things go with your new improved 244cc scoot.

Thanks Cruiser,
Sorry it took so long to reply,I just became a grandpa for the first time this past week woohoo.
Yes it looks like the same set up as the 257 radiator. Just about 500 miles now and running great.

Congratulations, grandpa. I'm happy to see that you are getting some riding miles in on your new scoot.

thanks for the Congrats. I was blessed with a beautiful lil gran daughter.Only thing is though, you would think my wife and I was having our first. There's more baby stuff in this house then we had with both of our daughter combined lol.

I haven't driven my Blazer in over two weeks lol. Been doing a good bit of highway riding. She just keeps getting stronger every day.At this point I have no desire to mess with the roller weights,I am very pleased with the stock setup. Will do my third oil change in the morning.
