New Manufacturer - Megelli

Megelli engines appear to be made by Sym who specialise in scooters

 

changing the oil every 3 thou K has been normal proceedure for my bikes for around 40 years now, and if you do that your  bikes will last 40 years or more.
Of course there is more to it than just regular oil changes but it is a VITAL part.

If anyone is interested I will set up a few basic classes to help you keep your bike happy and it will save your pocket lots of dollars in the long term.

Hi there, I've got a 2011 250s and it's been a great bike so far. As my first road bike it's easy to ride and sounds and handles ok too. A couple of little things have started show their head (which is mainly due to build quality), such as things coming loose and the headlight has started to play up in the last couple of days. Being a single it rattles and vibrates a bit.
One thing is I changed the tyres almost straight away with Speed Demons (the stock tyres should be outlawed, my rear was cast with a buckle in it).
I've been for rides with mates who all ride big sports bikes and around the twisty stuff it holds it's own pretty well and I don't get left too far behind. The only problem is I scrap the peg too much when leaned over (need someone to make rearsets for them.

All in all, it's a great bike to comute on and pretty dam good on fuel.

 

hello


I'm a megelli 250r se 2011 owner and so far not really happy with it....


It's been a month and a half since I bought it, brand new

and i have had constant problems since i got it

-Replaced the golden rod that connected the gear shifting pedal to the gears because it became loose
-Replaced Horn because it didnt even work
-Replaced fuel tap because i couldnt start up properly


and now when all of this has been fixed, my fuel gauge light stopped working so i dont know when im running low on fuel and i actually got down to nothing once and i was stranded for a while....

constant problems which i dont think the service people know how to fix are the stiff gear changing, you cant get to neutral from gear 1, can only get it to N from shifting down from gear 2 and the brakes are squeaking sometimes..............

One other problem im starting to notice, the paint job or whatever layer on the petrol tank area is starting to have tiny tiny bubbles......


I'm a newbie at bikes, this is my first ever motorcycle and I'm a learner as well so it's been a pretty crap experience for me....

 

Hey b.feng91

Very sorry to hear your having these problems so soon after purchase of a brand new machine.
However as Chris has outlined for you, you do have certain rights as a consumer and you should exercise these rights so as to have a satisfactory outcome.
Hope you get these issues resolved and please keep us posted as to your progress.
                                                        Cheers  Phil

 

Hey Chris & Phil


I've contacted the motorsport importers and they said they should be contacting me
in a couple of weeks to get all my problems solved  apparently most of the issues
are manufacturing faults =\

anyways will let you guys know the result of this


Peace!
Billy

 

Hey b.feng91, thats good to hear your getting it sorted. Let me know how you go cause that gearbox is giving me the shits too!

Cheers.
Blake.

 

I test rode one of these before I got my fzr and visually they are probably the best looking 250 out there. UnFortunatly the ride can only be compared to that of a 125 pit bike. I was trully disappointed as it looks so damn good.

Hopefully in the future megelli will focus more on performance and less on aesthetics. In my opinion go for an older inline 4. Might not have the looks but sure as hell have the performance.

 

Hey Slender
You have ridden one which is more than I can say. They look hot, but if performance doesn't match the look, well that's another story. Wouldn't it be cool to drop a 4 pot into the Megelli frame, could be an awesome bike.
Anyhow welcome to the forum                    Phil

 

Couldn't agree more they definitely ride like a Chinese bike. Hopefully in the future they will work on the engine because they are definitely a good looking bike.

 

It makes me sad that they are all going singles.  :'(

 

Couldn't agree more that's why I've always stuck to the older bikes ie cbr or the fzr I have now. They just don't do things the way they used to.
