axa,
My idle is set at 1150 RPM or so. A little low when cold but fine when she warms up. I put the air cleaner back on and the cutting came back at 6.5 k RPM.

This makes me think my tach is off a bit on the low end.

Why? You can adjust your idle lower or higher. I could adjust my idle higher to match yours.

sure you could adjust up, but if I adjust down I'd probably have to babysit it while it warms up. I rather be getting ready to go I suppose.
I am a bit surprised you could get that low, perhaps my tach is a bit off.

well i just adjusted down to 1.5-1.75, now i know what to shoot for...

I made a rear rack today using some of the angle iron from the DF crate plus some Black Walnut and Cherry that I had in my shop. The old saddle bags are a little big but they were fine on my test ride. Maybe a top box like I have on my Ural? I relocated the rear turn signals to close to the seat.

I did a search using the DF250 parts number list and found the correct stick (oil ruler assy) at rocketa.com. Or at least it says it's the correct part. Guess Ill find out.

Good news. I got my replacement dipstick today.

And Im happy to report that it is an exact replacement. Roketa.com told me they didnt know what the heck a DF250RTB was but the part I got from them was an exact copy of the stock one. Cost me $10 plus $10 for shipping but I got it fast so Im not complaining. Their part number is: AGB-38-250-04-11 and they show it as a replacement for a Honda CB-125 1970's era bike.

Hope this will help some folks that need that part. I have no clue how much the drop shippers would charge for this part but at least I didnt have to wait for shipment from China for it so Im happy.
