I'd just buy a VX500 instead of the big bore kit.

+1 on a bigger bike!

If I need to go faster/farther (highway)... I take My Triumph. L.O.L.0630101043.jpg

and I'd drive one of my cars. way off point, I thought we were speaking of getting the most bang, pun intended, out of your dong fangs buck.
there's a world of other things you can do with an unspecified amount of money.

in fact Japanese bikes are now occasionally produced in China, as well as Thailand I'm aware.
but note I didn't say anything about crap, you did mailman, I said "not as good", which is an accurate assessment of the comparison.
I'm fine with Chinese stuff, got plenty of it.
but if I look at my cast Chinese kit top end and then my japanese originals i know why they perform better.

Does anyone else have a PZ30 carb on their DF-RTB's ? I was curious what the line leading from the bottom is supposed to go to. I was looking over my engine today and noticed that this line was just dangling towards the bottom, not connected to anything. I have a feeling it should be connected somewhere perhaps that is just my noobism talking. heres a picture 20150413_151003.jpg

Just a drain from the carb mate need to hang down under the engine

All DF250RTB have PZ30 carbs as far as I know. That is a drain line for the float bowl. Just let it hang down and if you ever drain the bowl let the hose into a small container to catch the gas.

If you look at page 4 in the PDF below you will see the drain screw on a PZ26 which is like our PZ30.
