2008 Joyner 250 review

Posts: 96

Yes its blue! But its the newer blue for 08. I will have a full test by this weekend, but I will give you a few observations now.

I bought it from a great dealer who knows alot about them. I paid 4K OTD wich included changing the main and pilot jets to match the K&N air filter that was put on it. For you guys outside of Cali, this price included a registered green sticker and tax. I could have gotten it for $3700OTD some places closer to me, but they were new dealers with mechanics who know nothing about joyners, upgrades and how the 90 day warranty works. This dealer is very cool.

The seet belts are way better than the BMS 250. Its more the size I need to fit into the trailer. The Joyner comes with a real 79 page manual with part number for every part in the buggy. It comes with a bimini top, a thorough tool kit that has a spanner for the shocks, and thread glue for loose bolts, and all the wrenchs needed for basic maintence. It also comes with shock covers to protect them for rocks which cause dings that let out air and oil. It also comes with a complete cloth type cover that covers the whole buggy. Lastly it came with a glamis flag.

Its harder to get in and out off than the BMS 250, but no big deal. The stearing wheel is beefier than alot of the chinese buggy's. Most I have seen are very flimsy. I will drive it tommorow and saturday. I was told by the dealer the 2008 has a larger sprocket in the rear, so this should help with low end torque, but I wont have a 2007 to compare with. Also the air filter and jetting should make it better out of the box.

I will write more as get time in it. But for now here are some photos of my boy in it as we picked it up.

Hey thats cool, I see the big smile, he probably can't
wait for dad to take him for a ride...........WAIT..... Dad
probably can't wait to take himself for a ride. Looks
like my 07, except for the bigger sprocket, I have one
of those ordered. Enjoy, and check the steering box
screws after you ride awhile, they vibrate loose once in
awhile ( lock-tite).

EGGY have you tried that bigger sprocket yet? I have one in route from glade, cant wait to try it. I just put the 5/16 fuel line on yesterday, sounds alot better. I couldnt get that thing to run right for nothing I was all the way up to a 170 main jet and after the fuel line upgrade I am back down to a 137.5 main jet. I am waiting to ride it everything is flooded around here.

Eggy if I were you I would get rid of the stock petcock and fuel line and get the plumbing and a 5/16 fuel line. It makes a big difference. I had a 170 main jet in and still was not getting enough gas and put on 5/16 line and am back down to a 137.5 main jet and the engine screams.
