Ok I'll keep my posts directed to the engine... Sry
I'll start a new thread for you.
Two mini chopper threads already exist here in Street. That is where you should be spending your time.
Please put Cmanleylancaster on ignore and don't quote his posts.
If you want performance,you're looking at the wrong bike.If you're after speed,I doubt you'll get there.If you do,it will be slow to get there.
Oh,and if you read through this thread,you will see that Barnone has pioneered a lot of the mods on these bikes.I followed him over from chinariders.com,where he helped pioneer mods on some other china bikes.So be careful with the aggressive language.He's probably one of the reasons these bikes are still being imported due to sells.
Sorry for the hijack, Hey I'm getting a little sick of this Bobber going through batteries. Has anybody ever figured out where the parasitic draw is on this bike ? I bought 3 batts in the last year and a half. Whats up with this bike ? I hear this is not unheard of with these bikes.
I'm not aware of a parasitic draw on the DF. Have you tested to verify this draw? Place an ammeter in series with the disconnected positive battery wire to test for a current. Ignition switch off of course.
What replacement batteries are you buying?
The OEM batteries on my ex 2010 and current 2012 only lasted a year or so but the replacement batteries have been fine.
I use this expensive battery but have had luck with Walmart batteries on my other bikes.

I enlarge the openings on the battery box to make it easier to connect the leads and reduce the possible of shorting out the positive lead.
I have only had to replace my battery twice in three years. I use the bike alot.. so milage is more likely the factor. Plus it being in the elements cause I ride rain or shine( have no choice sometimes..weather is crazy around here in Houston.Rains on one side of the road and not the other..) I use walmart batteries and have always been reliable.
