Feels good.
I do a little here and there, but over all she is fine the way she sits. Got a couple of things I am gonna do still..like add a small rack to the top of the rear fender,between the bags.Add the extra lights up front, I am also in the market for another seat,I found a small tear in the stock seat..I think with the elements and the usage it is starting to wear.Plus I think I deserve a bit more cushion for my behind.
The motor is solid.Plus I have seen replacements on line for around 4
$300+. not bad.
Hoping to be back on the road this week..still waiting for the new sporcket to land in the mail. Studs are ready to go, as am I.
Ride free.
Welcome Redgreen,
It's an air filter.

Do i see wires going to clutch handle? Like safety start sensor.Quote:

or the combination of vibrations and air pressure, I'll report back after the test ride. Each time I ride it, I only go 2 mile with in a few blocks from the house for fear something will go wrong.
:goodtime:
hey guys wondering if you can help me out on some decisions on the 2012 dp250. I have not received it yet, getting close! I have been keeping a list od all of the minor things that have been going on with the bikes. Now I don't know if the 2012 will be better because of the past problems. I will just have to wait and see. There is a shop here called Twisted Choppers that build bikes, showed him a pic of the df250, he had no knowledge of it, said it was cool. I asked him since I am not good at all with fixing stuff could he maybe dix all of the problems you guys have been having he said yes, he charges $65 hr. But said he would look it over and give me a idea of what it would cost. The sprocket thing, the jets wiring, battery, maybe a new housing for battery. What do you guys think? I appreciate any thoughts :-)
Right before heading out for a test ride.

Everything ran well. I took the bike directly to local place that solely deals with bolts and nuts.
I bought 2 incase the other wants to fall off.
Here are the miles I've put so far.

Terribl05 I think you could do some of it. But if you really feel like paying someone you can.
Crelow, trust me I do not have deep pockets! But I just don't know how much I can do! I will ask you guy's on the thread here, I will give myself a chance, I want to know how too work on it! thanks.:scooter:Quote:

But I think it's time to put some more miles on her. It high chance of rain so I won't be riding tonight but maybe tomorrow.
Guys just remember to do a pre-post inspection after each ride. This motor will wiggle things loose. As you could see on my previous post picture. Bolt fell out just warming the bike up.
and bubbling sticker on the rear fender.
I'm looking forward to seeing your guys any gals bikes on the road.
Especially with pics.

Nope, It is all lights and the two control cables. I'm glad you got your leak stopped.Quote:

My battery seems to be sealed good, no leaks or corrosion yet.
:naughty:
chruk, great news on the seat cover, sounds like you are having good time with the painting too. That's what it's all about.
This is the 21 century? Who doesn't have Skype. ;-) I think I have it all ready to go.Quote:

Unless you make an album in your profile and put your pictures in it you won't have any pictures. When you do make an album it lets you drag and drop all the pictures you have posted on the forum.
When I was looking at the DF it was a hard choice. The ape hanger is really cool looking, but price won out and I opted for the one I got for 2075.00 and free shipping.
They all come from the same place as far as I can see. Sunny motors. I guess they just have deals going with different dealers.

Maybe the cable is tighten under the tank. Ill take it off and check it. But not too soon worried ill spring a leak. Lol.
I just upload videos to YouTube cause this site won't take videos or can't be sent to china. Where I think the hosting and everything is done.
I checked it out and nut was loose so I tightened it up.Quote:

So is it possible that something is draining the battery?

Yeah mine is that way for sure. And if it's cold I really have to choke it a bit. Right mid way between fully closed and half choke is the sweet spot for me. Once it's warmed up it starts right up even full open.Quote:

Yeah my stock hose burst while doing 60mph on the highway. Will never do that again. This bike is regulated to in-town riding only. Im OK with that as it's a begginer bike for me.Quote:

Got my new air filter and damn it sexy. I noticed the stock one has no filter media at the head and that worried me. New one has an end cap to eliminated that problem but appears to be the same filter media. Both filters are China made. If it starts to rust like the stock filter did I will switch to a chrome / foam filter for a few dollars more.
Had a hard time starting my bike today so I put it on the charger. Battery might be my next upgrade. Finally got it started after a charge. Also had to tighten the chain as my bother noted it was too lose. Didnt even notice that. They say 1/2 to 1 inch slack. I was almost in the 1 and 1/2 inch area so I tightened it. Thats the thing with this bike, you really have to inspect it before every ride to make sure everything is tight and in order.
I let my brother ride it the other day and he made a comment about speed shifting. He said not engaging the clutch it seemed to shift easer and that would save wear on my clutch. My heart skipped a beat when he said this as I never heard of speed shifing. I thought doing that would destroy your clutch or transmission. Any thoughts on this?
Scooter Store doesn't have a real good rep.Quote:

They have mine, the 2012 listed at 2259.00 but when I called and asked why the one (2010) that was for 2075.00 looked the same as the 2259.00 bike he said he'd give me the 2012 for 2075.00., so I jumped. With the free shipping it really worked out good. My MSO came from Sunny Motors AKA Scooter Depot.
Now they have taken the 2010 bike off but I have the listing as I saved it. Now they show the 2010 and are asking 2259.00. The specs are different and messed up is all. You get the 2012.
Sale went without a hitch.
