New Blood At CSC Motorcycles

In a previous career, I tested all brands of motorcycles. Now I’m looking forward to new Adventures on CSC Motorcycles. Happy trails!

It’s been a fantastic first few weeks here at CSC! I’m grateful to Steve and the entire team for welcoming me into their world as their marketing and content creation rep.

We’ve got a ton of great things in store for CSC fans, including the arrival of a few exciting new models and a cool electric-assist bicycles that we’re anxious to share with all of you. We’re on the gas here, with plans for photo and video shoots, events, media introductions, and regular blog posts here! Just yesterday we sent out a TT250 to Ultimate Motorcycling to test, so look for their review in a few weeks from now.

As always, you’re welcome to drop by our Azusa location to see our bikes. Alternately, you could catch us at the Four Wheeler Adventure Expo in Costa Mesa, California, during March 7-8 or at the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona, May 15-17.

Ride on!

CSC Motorcycles Announces Appointment of Brand Manager

Veteran motorcycle journalist Kevin Duke steps into key marketing position for the American brand selling quality motorcycles direct to consumers. 

AZUSA, Calif. — CSC Motorcycles is pleased to announce that it has hired veteran moto-journalist Kevin Duke as Brand Manager for the California-based company. He will be fulfilling key marketing, public relations, and media relations roles, as well as directing the brand’s content creation and social media presence. 

“We are very excited to welcome Kevin into our CSC family,” announced Steve Seidner, president of CSC Motorcycles. “With his extensive motorcycle experience and marketing background, we know he will elevate CSC Motorcycles into another level and give us an opportunity to reach riders who haven’t yet been able to learn about our bikes.” 

Duke brings more than 20 years of experience as a professional journalist for motorcycle publications, including Motorcyclist, Motorcycle-USA, and more than a decade as Editor-in-Chief of Motorcycle.com, one of the world’s biggest moto publications. More recently he worked for a premier PR/marketing company producing video content and other assets for a global motorcycle brand. 

“I’m delighted to join the CSC Motorcycles team,” Duke enthused. “I was intrigued after learning about CSC and their products, but what really hooked me was the ethical attitude exemplified by this family-operated business. They deeply care about the people in their orbit, and that holds true for their customers. After examining their business model, it became obvious that my skills are a perfect fit for CSC’s needs. I’m excited to help gain exposure for this innovative brand!”  

CSC Motorcycles uses a direct path to market, maximizing cost efficiencies to bring high-quality vehicles to its customers, built to CSC’s specifications by Zongshen. Final assembly is performed at CSC’s California headquarters, followed by a road test to ensure flawless operation before they ship directly to customers, no assembly required. 

“Some people have a misconception that products built in China are substandard, but that’s not necessarily the case,” Duke observed. “Zongshen is one of the world’s largest motorcycle producers, and CSC stocks every part for its motorcycles in case any are needed, so the CSC customer experience is top notch. Their motorbikes offer unmatched value to riders and are backed by a legitimate and attentive American company.” 

CSC Motorcycles currently offers a lineup of five models, ranging from the remarkably inexpensive TT250 dual-sport ($2,195) to the feature-packed RX4 adventure bike ($5,395). Two other exciting new models will be announced later in 2020, as well as an electric-assist bicycle.

CSC TT250 Enduro: On and Off-road FUN awaits!

The 230cc motor used in the CSC TT250 Enduro (and the CSC SG250 San Gabriel) is a modernized version of the “world-design” motorcycle CG engine first developed back in 1970’s. Manufacturers wanted to export motorcycles into the growing market of Southeast Asia. There were no motorcycle “dealers” in these emerging markets, only local repair shops. The concept of routine maintenance was completely foreign to the motor bike owners – most who relied on motorcycles as their sole means of transportation.

To tap into these demanding markets, this new motorcycle engine was specifically designed to require minimal maintenance. The lightweight, short-pushrod overhead valve 125cc engine featured a gear-driven, single camshaft structure for both intake and exhaust. The shaft is located where one would find the cam-chain housing in a more conventional overhead cam engine. Honda later built a new engine factory in Brazil for the growing market in South America and introduced a new motorcycle called the CG125 Titan.

CSC TT250 Enduro

Zongshen Modern Factory – Building Over 3 MILLION Motors Per Year

Over 40 years later, the original CG125 patent has long-expired. Today, Zongshen, the manufacturer of the CSC TT250, has a modern factory that builds over 3 MILLION engines each year. Zongshen builds both a 125cc and a 230cc version of the old CG engine. CSC Motorcycles distributes only the 230cc version in North America, with the additional update of a counter-balancer. This dependable motor is available in both the CSC TT250 Enduro and the CSC SG250 San Gabriel café racer. Both models are EPA-approved for sale in all 50-states.

CSC TT250 Enduro

CSC TT250 Enduro: the perfect bike to CUSTOMIZE with CSC accessories

By American standards, 230cc is considered small. But in the CSC TT250, this engine is placed in a motorcycle that weighs only 300 pounds! That gives the CSC TT250 Enduro both low-end torque and highway capabilities. Fuel economy is typically over 65 miles per gallon. When combined with a 2.9-gallon gas tank, this provides the rider with a range exceeding 175 miles.

CSC TT250 Enduro appeals to new motorcycle buyers who want a basic, dependable all-purpose motorcycle. These riders appreciate the nimble handling and performance of the 230cc engine in the lightweight chassis. Experienced bikers love the CSC TT250 Enduro for the low-priced package of features – and then customize their bike for their own style of riding.

Add a full CSC skid plate to the CSC TT250 Enduro

Need more grunt off-road? You can swap to aluminum rims and heavy knobbies, add hand guards and a full-coverage aluminum skid plate. Want to buzz the highway between home and the trail head? CSC Motorcycles stocks gearing options for more top end speed on the highway. Want to shred the freeway and unleash your inner hooligan? Swap the stock wheels for 17-inch aluminum wheels and street tires and transform the TT250 into a scary Super Moto!

Installing a CSC RX3 Adventure Center Stand

Fast and Easy Installation of a Center Stand on the CSC RX3 – a GREAT Accessory for any ADV Bike!

Guest post by Randy Reek

I recently took advantage of the CSC “Black Friday” sale and ordered a center stand for my RX3. I have had center stands on several bikes in the past, but had not added one to my RX3. Looking forward to the 2020 riding calendar, I made this the first change to my bike.

CSC RX3 center stand

CSC RX3 center stand – a FAST and EASY installation!

The only reason to NOT add a center stand is the fear of losing ground clearance on rough trails. But this is really not an issue with the RX3 Adventure since the mounting tabs are still in place on the lower frame – whether or not you add the stand! Besides, if you are in rocks or logs where this critical inch of clearance is an issue – you are probably over your head and pushing your RX3 anyway!

There are a few valid reasons why your ADV bike needs a center stand:

  1. The center stand makes maintenance and repairs much easier. Whether changing a flat tire or lubing the chain, an upright bike is a huge advantage.
  2. A center stand which holds the bike securely and level also makes daily packing and unpacking easier.
  3. An upright bike on the center stand also takes up less room than a bike leaning on the side stand. This comes in handy in the garage, but also might be an advantage in sketchy parking spots with other motorcycles, fences, or anything that can hurt your bike. The center stand may also provide better footing on soft surfaces than the side stand.

Installing the center stand on the CSC RX3 Adventure is easy and takes less than 30 minutes. It takes a few minutes to clean off the accumulated dirt on the bottom of the frame, then the stand slips into place between the mounting tabs.

CSC RX3 center stand

Clean off the mud and the RX3 center stand slips in place.

CSC has a full pictorial tutorial on the website. Here are the simple steps required to install the RX3 center stand:

The center stand kit will include the stand, a pivot shaft, spring and mounting clip. The pivot shaft may require a circlip at each end. Or the shaft may have a fixed washer on one end, which requires a circlip only on the opposite side for installation. To attach the spring mounting clip to the frame, a short, self-tapping screw with an integral shoulder is used. You will need a 13mm socket for this installation. In addition, a pliers to seat the circlip and a screwdriver to install the spring will be needed.

CSC RX3 center stand

RX3 Center Stand kit – just add a little grease to the pivot shaft

You can complete this easy installation with the bike on its side stand or a lift.

1. If required, install a circlip on one end of the center stand pivot shaft. This is not necessary if the shaft has a fixed washer on one end.
2. Lube the center stand pivot shaft with grease.
3. Lube the interior of the center stand mount with grease.
4. Position the center stand between its two mounting points on the motorcycle frame, then slide the pivot shaft through the center stand and its mounting points. (If installing on a dirty bike, first clean off any accumulated dirt or mud.)
5. Install the retaining circlip on the center stand pivot shaft.
6. Insert the shouldered self-tapping bolt through the spring tab. The spring tab faces rearward and is attached to the hole located under the motorcycle frame on the right side of the stand. Tighten the self-tapping bolt with the tab facing rearward. Do not overtighten the self-tapping bolt. A dab of Loctite is a good idea on this screw.
7. Install one hooked end of the spring on the tab.
8. With the center stand in the raised position, install the other hooked end of the spring on the center stand stud. Pry the spring in place with a screwdriver. Go slowly – it may take a couple of attempts to position the spring on the center stand.

You are done! If you need to remove the center stand for any reason (riding rough off-road trails where ground clearance is crucial), you can remove the spring, right-side circlip, shaft and stand in about five minutes.

I have installed center stands on other bike brands – and the RX3 installation is the easiest and fastest – BY FAR! CSC has the frame pre-engineered for the stand. The center stand is VERY reasonably priced. You can also have CSC install the center stand before shipping your new RX3. There are lots of advantages of adding the center stand – so consider making the upgrade to your RX3 Adventure!

Winterizing Your Motorcycle: Make Your Spring Riding Trouble-Free!

Riders in Winter climates NEED to take special care when storing their bike until next Spring.

Cold weather got you down? Missing the warm days of riding your CSC Motorcycle? If you take some time now to properly winterize your motorcycle, you will be ready for riding next year – or during a warm spell this Winter.

Once you stop riding your bike, the mechanical and electrical systems can cause problems if not properly “put to bed” for the Winter. Here are some tips for winterizing your motorcycle:

  1. Think about where you can store your motorcycle. Inside is ALWAYS better than outside, even if you have to PAY for secure storage.
  2. Take your bike out for one last ride. Get the motor, chain and tires warm. Enjoy this last ride.
  3. Top off your tank with fresh gas (NON-ethanol) before you get home.
  4. Add the suggested amount of fuel stabilizer. Then start the motorcycle and let the stabilizer cycle through. This is crucial for BOTH fuel-injected and carbureted bikes.
  5. Change the oil and oil filter. Start the storage period with maximum lubrication, rather than changing oil in the Spring.
  6. Check the air filter and clean or replace it.
  7. Check your brake pads, tires and belt or chain for wear. Lube the chain well. Make a list of replacement parts needed. You can change these out during the Winter when you have the time and need to give your cycle some love.
  8. Take the battery out, top the cells off with distilled water and store it at room temperature in a dry place. Note: NEVER store your battery where it can freeze! Keep the battery in a warm area – and keep it connected to a trickle charger to maintain a full charge. If you have had the same battery for a few years, consider upgrading to a new, fresh battery in the Spring.
  9. Check the pressure in both tires to make sure they’re filled to the proper level. Then – if possible – roll your bike back and forth occasionally to prevent any flat spots from forming.
  10. Wash your motorcycle really well to scrub all the bugs, dirt and road grime off.
  11. Wax the paint and chrome, leaving a thick coat of wax on the motorcycle and painted parts. Use a protectant on any plastic trim parts.
  12. Apply protectant to leather seats, or synthetic protectant on vinyl seats and plastic luggage.
  13. Stuff openings in exhaust and cavities with wiring with tape or rags to keep pesky bugs and chewing mice out.
  14. Protect your motorcycle with a cover to help keep dirt, dust, and moisture off the clean surfaces.

Here is a helpful video that illustrates these steps:

Have Any questions on proper bike maintenance and storage? Consult the CSC Maintenance Tutorials, or call the shop for help. We want to help you get back riding trouble-free next Spring!

The CSC SG250 Cafe Racer Keeps Getting BETTER!

OLD SCHOOL COOL HAS NEVER BEEN MORE AFFORDABLE!

The CSC SG250 San Gabriel motorcycle is a throw-back to the 1960’s. After the super-successful introduction in 2018, the SG250 returns with four NEW color choices in 2020. You still get ALL the standard features that make the SG250 an UNBEATABLE value!

Honda and other manufacturers wanted to export motorcycles into the growing market of Southeast Asia.

Customers brought their motorcycles in only after they had stopped running. The concept of routine maintenance was completely foreign to the motor bike owners.

By American standards, 230cc is considered small. But in the CSC SG250, this engine is placed in a motorcycle that weighs only 273 pounds! That gives the CSC SG250 San Gabriel brisk acceleration and a cruising top end of 70 miles per hour! Fuel economy is typically over 65 miles per gallon. When combined with a four-gallon gas tank, this provides the rider with a range exceeding 200 miles.

There are two main categories of CSC SG250 San Gabriel owners. There are riders who are buying their first motorcycle. These riders appreciate the nimble handling and performance of the 230cc engine in the lightweight chassis. New riders also enjoy the simplicity of the dash, controls, and especially the low-maintenance requirements of the SG250.

The second (and largest) category of CSC SG250 San Gabriel owners are experienced bikers who already own several motorcycles. The café racer-style appeals to experienced riders for its vintage and rebellious heritage. Its streamlined, minimalist, and retro. Experienced riders are attracted to the SG250 because of what it ISN’T. The SG250 San Gabriel isn’t high-tech. No electronic suspension; no surround-sound stereo; no trip computer; and no hassles! Just turn the key and ride – OR stomp the kick starter for another reminder of a simpler time!

Many experienced riders have dreamed of rebuilding an old-school project bike. But most of these older “host” bikes require massive restoration that costs thousands. In contrast, the 2020 CSC SG250 is available NEW, including a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty, for ONLY $2,195.00. For less than the cost of a rebuild, you get a new motor, new chrome exhaust, new disc brakes and brake lines, new rims and tires – plus a modern electronic dash.

The CSC SG250 San Gabriel is faithful to the appearance of the old bikes, but also well-equipped with important features like 17-inch tires on aluminum rims, full instrumentation including a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel gauge, gear indicator, and neutral light. You have inverted front forks and adjustable rear reservoir shocks. Stopping power is provide by a huge front and rear disc brakes (upgraded in 2019.)

Sure, you can order a stock CSC model. (After all, that is what you are used to from most cycle shops.) But then you need to pay high retail prices for the many components you plan to add to your new motorcycle – and you need to spend hours and day installing these parts before you can hit the trail.

Finally, CSC has a full service department to install accessories and aftermarket parts.

Bottom line: CSC Motorcycles will custom build YOUR bike with all the accessories you want.

Shinko 804 front tire upgrade to the TT250

We finished this custom build with more aggressive knobby tires. While the stock TT250 tires are great for mixed road and light dirt riding, if you want something a little more beefy you will want to upgrade to DOT knobbies. We swapped the stock tires with a  Shinko 804/805 Crossfly 90/90/21 804 on the front ($99.95) and a 120/90/18 805 on the rear ($89.95). This is the hot set up for the TT250 – both street and trail.
