What speed corresponds to each gear of the CFMOTO 250SR?
3 Answers
1st gear 10+, 2nd gear 20+, 3rd gear 30+, and so on. Here is some relevant information about the CFMOTO 250SR: 1. NK250 engine: The CFMOTO 250SR is a sports car under CFMOTO, which uses the NK250 engine, but CFMOTO engineers have recalibrated this engine. The CFMOTO 250SR uses a 249cc single-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled engine, which is also equipped with electronic fuel injection technology. 2. Water-cooled fuel-injected engine: The engine of the CFMOTO 250SR has a compression ratio of 11.3:1, a cylinder diameter of 72 mm, and a stroke of 61.2 mm. The water-cooled fuel-injected engine delivers more powerful performance and better fuel economy.
Having ridden motorcycles for several years, my own CFMOTO 250SR has a clear relationship between gears and speeds during urban commuting: 1st gear is typically in the 0-20 km/h range, suitable for starting and low-speed riding; 2nd gear covers 20-40 km/h and is most frequently used in city traffic jams; 3rd gear extends to 40-60 km/h, providing smooth overtaking; 4th gear operates at 60-80 km/h, making elevated highways comfortable; and 5th gear is for speeds above 80 km/h, perfect for highway cruising. The tachometer is crucial for this bike—if the RPM is too high, say above 8,000, the speed increases quickly but causes significant wear. It's safer to shift between 6,000-7,000 RPM. In heavy traffic, pay extra attention to braking coordination to prevent engine overheating and avoid clutch burnout. New riders should first practice their shifting technique and avoid rapid acceleration.
After riding motorcycles for a long time, I find the CFMoto 250SR to be very sporty, with gear speeds closely following the RPM: In 1st gear, the engine responds the quickest, going from 0-30km/h in a straight dash; accelerating to 50km/h in 2nd gear is effortless; reaching 70km/h in 3rd gear is the sweet spot; breaking 90km/h in 4th gear is no problem; and exceeding 100km/h in 5th gear is easy. When driving at high RPMs, it's best to stay near the redline (around 10,000 RPM) to control speed, avoiding excessive speed to prevent engine overheating. The bike's suspension is crucial in corners—adjust gears based on tire conditions to maintain stable speed and reduce the risk of misfires. For fuel efficiency, setting the cruising speed at 60-80km/h in 5th gear is the most economical, and avoid frequent gear changes on highways. Regular chain maintenance also affects power delivery.
