Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

IF your state requires all motor vehicles to be c.a.r.b. certified(California air research board) do not buy a DF250.
Do not go by what Sunny sports has on their web site. They refuse to put ALL the states that disallow registration.
Ignore this caution and you will be selling it,like I had to.

Now you all know why I have a Yamaha Star 250...(bobber)

Any words of advice on removing the forward controls Phillips screws I about stripped one and they aren't coming loose. Tried wd40 I can't find my pb lube.

Impact driver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IF you did not use this tool in the begining, you might want to try one now.

From the first time a phillips head screw was ever used on a motorcycle,this type of tool has been mandatory.
You will never be able to get the torque necessary with a hand held screwdriver.

I had to go buy ez outs. The heads on the screws seamed to soft. Even with the impact only one came out. I replace the with Allen bolts.

By the way I meant handcontrols.

Got my bike registered and inspected today. It was a breeze in Nevada. Got a handlebar bag but wasn't real happy with it attached to the bars hanging over the tank but it fit real nice under the head lamp.

That inspection is nothin more than a scam. what did that cost anyway?

The inspection was free. they just wanted to make sure the vin numbers match up. Didn't even check the lights. The sales tax was 250.00 though. That hurt.

Dont feel bad. I managed to destroy the soft metal phillips screws on my brake reservoir myself. I actually thought it was empty when it was shipped too me. Like an idiot I did not pump it enough times to realized there was fluid in there. Regardless, it works fine now and I didnt even have to bleed the air out.

But since my sight glass is crap on it I will just replace the reservoir with a jap mad aftermarket one if it comes to that. Sadly Crelow, those screws are crap and they are tight. If you dont have the exact perfect size screwdriver driver you do stand a chance at messing them up. And I also have read here that an impact toold is necessary. Learned that the hard way.
