Title: CM250T
Post by: blackeagles on August 04, 2024, 11:05:55 AM
anyone got a CM250T?

I have recently bought one and it has an 80mph speedo but I am told the 250 has a 100mph one and the smaller CM200T has the 80 mph one. presumably because the 200 has a maximum speed of 80 whereas the 250 is supposed to be capable of 85/90 so needs a higher speedo reading.

If you have one I would be grateful if you could check and let my know.

I don't have one but found this for you. The part for the UK bike is 37200-KB0-600

BUT I think there may have been a USA model with 80 mph Speedo and no Tacho .. just 'idiot' lights in the housing where the tachometer is normally.

Is yours a genuine UK supplied bike or an import?

Hope this helps !

hi, thanks for this and yes it is a UK bike (1981) with the twin carbs and 25bhp rather than the USA/Canada (1982) single carb and 17bhp which is why I was thinking it had the wrong speedo on it and certainly as it seems to be revving rather a lot for the speed it is showing.

Looks like I will have to keep an eye open for a replacement.

I am still looking for a 100mph speedometer if anyone has a spare one they want to sell!! (that fits a cm250t twin carb not the American single carb bike)
