Ok... thanks for the tip on plasticdip.
Re leak.. NO MORE LEAK, so we caught the source. That was a tough one to catch. Waiting for the O-rings.
Re chain, should I tighten it back, might have to adjust a bit, it moves an inch up/down when pressing/pulling at the center.
Re: DF250RTB 2012 Oil Leak
I would not do it, but if you check out the Ice Bear Road warrior trike, it has a 248cc V -twin that might be a starting place for another engine.

Re: DF250RTB 2012 Oil Leak
Giant thread with lots of topics. Didn't meant to bogart. I can see how important the oil leak issue is to you. Glad you were able to solve it. Hope you get your chain adjusted.

Half inch to 3/4 would be good since the DF has a rigid frame.

Had a nice New Years Day ride out to the ranch on the DF.
She is running just fine although she still needs more motor.

Happy New Year to all. Ride safe 2014.
Conversion to H4 bulb socket and then to LED replacement F.Y.I.
This replacement for a H4 bulb appears to have some merit. If too rich for your DongFang budget, perhaps it might interest some on a "real" motorcycle. It is claimed to project on the reflector the same as a H4 bulb. The wattage/amperage is about half of a H4 bulb.
I am going to give it a try in My Yamaha 250,when it arrives.

Then it comes down to the smoothness and quality of the chrome inside the headlight housing to reflect and project the light out in front of the motorcycle.
