Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

Chruk has a another point that a small sprocket may put more strain on studs ( kind of a mind screw to think about it) So based on everything Im hearing in the latest posts:
A Your clear coat might all fall off if parked outside in the weather. Can be gathered up and used as sandwich wrap.LOL
B Get a set of extra sprocket studs before you need them! Beause,... as soon as your bike breaks the weather will get super nice. Murphys Law
C Rethink getting too small of a sprocket. :confused1:
D Store your bike in a climate and humidity controled darkroom immediatly to prevent all of the above...:hellfire:

:eek2:

The way I plugged it was I grabbed a dell computer. Then grabbed a pair
Of metal sheers placed the tube on the metal to create a template. Sharpie then cut and and drill. Ground down any unsafe edges. Put the plate with the old tube upside down so it won't collect water. And high temp RTV. I think that's what is call and loctite.

about a sportster i used to run, one day on a take off, the rear sprocket just spun around. but i did have the sprockets all juiced up, 1st was more like 2nd, and 4th never ended. that is why i was curious to the size sprocket you use. if take off is not instant, meaning a lot of throttle and clutching to get going, that would be puting too much unmanageable pressure on the sprocket bolts. now i dont know how many teeth you have on the back but i do know that the second time i had to fix my sporty i changed the gearing to please the drive-train. maybe you have to go back up a tooth or 2. ???

For an old guy(yeah i know 48 is not old,but feels like it sometimes) I am holding up fine with the ride.Sometimes I get that weedeater feeling in my hands on longer rides, but overall...just great.
I have a 35 tooth on the rear. I try to shift smooth on it coming off the lights, but sometimes I jerk her. Guess its just part of the ride to go through stuff like this.

Thanks guys for hanging in there with me. I think I finally got it.

From what I remember after taking the carb apart. Found nothing wrong there.
Turned the air mixture screw 2half turns. After it warmed up I turned it a little more.
Then the idle screw. Wiggled the wires coming from the motor and that was it.

I think my problem was I kept setting the idle way too low causing that hiccup. Ill take a video tomorrow morning if I have time to show the puff of gas if it happens. But for now I think Kareem ing the tank will be my cheaper option to keeping the bike before investing so much.

Hello guys thanks for the info. The more I look at the pictures.. the more i wish I bought the older triumph style DF instead of the newer Harley looking one. Oh well.

I already ordered a 35 rear sprocket.

Looks like all i need to do now when I get the bike:
-Drill a few holes in the battery vox
-Change the oil with a nice synthetic
-Replace the spark plug with an NGK (what type and what gap? Im sure its already been posted a million times but ive have not read too far in yet)
- Tune the carb

Anything else I need to know?
