Just make sure the installer uses a rim strip to cover the inside of the spokes,even if the inside spoke nipples are covered with silicone.They will chafe through with time.Quote:

I asked scooterdepot and they said they couldn't give me the info because they didn't have the DF250 in stock the check . Hope you guys can help.
Welcome, this is a new one. What happened to the originals? If you have one left, take it to your best hardware store & match up with a nut to establish tread specs. Then find a replacement bolt that could be altered to work temporarily. Order the originals ASAP & wait.Quote:

Share a picture of your bike & tell us alittle about yourself & biking.
Thanks for the info ... I went to the hardware stores & motorcycle shops and no luck! I've attached a pic of my bike, as well as the studs I am looking for. I'm new to motorcycles lol This is actually my first bike. I did all the mods on my bike by myself. I was riding my bike and I hit a huge dip... the chain came off and bent the hell out of my sprocket and completely damaged my studs.

damn dude i wish i knew what to tell you. you might want to check with other dealers that sell the bike and claim to stock parts for it. i think killer motorsports claims to stock the parts for it but don't quote me on that, i got mine from scooter depot too.Quote:

For $20 this guy just made new threads inside the rim with good bolts so I wouldn't have this problem again! My sprocket is even tighter then it was at first. I'm putting the tire back on as I speak and I'm good to ride tonight.
Good!Quote:

Was the chain loose or tight? (lower mid should flex 1/2")
Did you replace the chain?
Was this the original 45 tooth sprocket.
Will repair allow you to mod to a lower tooth sprocket in the future?
1/2"? i usually keep my chain a little more loose, between 3/4" and 1" of play. from what i understand it's better if it's a little more loose than too tight. too tight results in hard shifting and with this bike i don't know if i really trust the shift linkage, hard shifting might cause it to break.Quote:
