Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

[skullworkz]

Questions I recently bought df250
I been riding and now it's time for n oils change
Can anyone tell me how' much oil it needs? In cc measurements please?
Also is there n oil filter for this bike ? If Yes ,where is it ?
My gears shift hard anyone know the cause of that ?
Please

Not sure of the cc's for oil, but it's about a 1.25 quarts or so. Filter is on the left side just under the shifter lever. It's a giant 28mm nut cap, remove carefully because there is a spring behind it that will fling it at you if your not careful. Remove the screen cone filter and clean and reinstall. Use some fresh oil on the O-ring on the cap before installing. Shifting issue could be a few different things. Check your linkage and make sure its not bent. Check and make sure that the clutch cable is fully disengaging with a small amout of play in the lever. Make sure that the trans linkage is properly adjusted. And if your talking about trying to shift up at a stop, you cant so dont try. Start shifting into neutral while your coming to a stop. Hope this helps

Change oil before riding!!!!! The oil that is installed at time of delivery is just shipping oil, buy a magnetic oil plug (you can get one at your local honda dealer, it is the same plug that is used on the Ruckus). Get an NGK plug and make sure it is gapped properly, Check your valve clearance BEFORE you start it as mine were so tight I couldn't get any feeler gauges in between them. Check all of your nuts and bolts and apply blue lock tight to all bolts that may rattle loose. Hope this helps and enjoy your bobber! I had a guy chase me down last night on my way to the movie store and had a million questions while I was at the light. It doesn't matter where I park this thing there is always someone standing there looking at it when I get back to it. Think I am going to buy a BIG ASS bicycle lock so I can lock the back wheel to the frame, also going to buy one of these >> http://www.gizmag.com/spybike-gps-tracker/22999/

Hey thanks for the advise! I have heard a couple different opinions on what oil weight to use. Should I really use a different weight for the summer time? Also, no synthetic right?

Driving my Bobber home from work today I noticed that the top of the forks/shocks are not even on my bike. The shiny top of the fork that comes up thru the bracket is higher on the righthand side than the left. The top of the shock/fork looks like a nut and washer on top. On the lefthand side the top of the shock is nearly flush with the braket and on the righthand side it probably sticks up 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. It has probably been like this since I bought it but I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue? Thanks!

so then you fixed your sprocket and bolts and such. how did that go. what did you do to fix.

Thank YOU !!!
Where can i purchase the oil filter? What size is it? Waitr... I dont need to get new one just clean the old one out ???
Yeah I fixed my bike !!!
The problem was that 3out of 4 bolts that hold the sprocket where broken in half. I ordered new bolts from honda superstore took 4days to get them tho. also i took my 35t sprocket and drilled new holes in it for the bolts to be tighter. also i purchased new chain bc the other one was kashed. Installed everything and tthe problem was solved.
Also my carb was really dirty i cleaned that baby now is purring.
But the never the less i have another issue ... There is something that is rattling in my exhaust pipe.. First i thought it was the heat shield i took it off its a bit better but it still rattles bit only when there is a lot of vibration or when hit the pipe with my shoe. where the heat shield was on. Im not sure what the problem might be but its fucking annoying as shit.
