    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    This thread is/was an interesting anomaly considering Mychinamoto was so international in scope, but the longest thread was for a bike sold in the US (maybe Canada, too, since the later DF bikes are...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I don't know what engine model they use; I have only seen the manufacturer listed as 'Chongqing Zongshen Motorcycle Engine Manufacture Co., Ltd.' I am guessing it is Dongfang's proprietary engine...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Your best bet is to try the source to see where they can point you to. If they are out of stock, and have been for a while, they can also let you know that as well. Plus, are more coming or are...

    Re: what this bike should have been from the start

    If I was to make a slightly educated guess, as I wrote about the whole lineup being found on one certificate, the seemingly same engines are NOT the same engines, LOL. You wrote above your theory,...

    Re: what this bike should have been from the start

    Unfortunately, the US distributor have only received EPA/DOT approval for the 229cc Zongshen-OEM engine. They have the certificate for all their bikes across their lineup that use this engine. On...

    Re: what this bike should have been from the start

    These engines, while OEM'd specifically by Zongshen for Dongfang, are pretty much the same as numerous other Zongshen and other brands' thumpers as found on chinariders.net under the dual-sport and...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I found the certification list from both 2010 and 2012; both are vague in stating that Dongfang is the engine's manufacturer. They use the full Chinese name 'Chongqing Dongfang......' As an...

    Looking on the certification list--for 2016, Dong Fang's engine is 223cc and the model number of the engine is 165FMM as opposed to 167FMM. Near Dong Fang's certification, there are several...

    A lot of Chinariders members seem to get the Mikuni (probably a clone) for not much more than the PZ30 ($40 approx) and even though they are clones, the Mikuni jets work well. The 'Mikuni' has woken...
