There is a lot of headlight switches on Ebay motorcycle parts. Look for one that is similar to yours for 7/8" handlebars.

Thanks Bar... but still wondering if the Heist switch will work, I mean I guess it will the bikes are almost the same right? Price wise the switch is cheaper for the Heist ...

CCW also charges $10 shipping.
Look at this list from Ebay.

Don't be afraid to buy from China, shipping is usually pretty fast.

Yeah I see a couple of them that would most likely work, gonna look more into it this weekend when I can make sure it is the switch. That is what it leads me to think it is. maybe the contacts on the thumb switch may be a bit worn.. again, will know once I take it off. Thanks for the assist my fellow rider friend. hey by the way, I officillay hit the 10,000 mile mark yesterday. in fact when I landed in my driveway I was at 10,002 miles. Did a happy dance and popped a brewsky.

near 70°F in NY up from 18°F so i thought id go for a ride on the DF, But a mean winter so far though, leaving me good excuse to work on a new bike.

theres the DF sitting next to its replacement...

and now with a few strategic chops, the LS650 is a proper hardtail chopper

doing the head work too.
porting the head.
also took off the cylinder for a bore and to use a new domed higher compression piston...
turning the 94x94 652cc to 95x94 gives me a 666, how appropriate...

axa,
Wow! Those are some serious modifications to the Suzuki.

I've not tried to register a DF in TX, but I've registered 4 chinese scooters and an Ice Bear trike with absolutely no issues. When you get your MSO, take that and your proof of insurance to the inspection station. They will give you an inspection report that the state requires on an untitled vehicle. Then take that, the MSO, Proof of ins, and a pocket full of money to the tax office.

You can say that again... especially when what ultimately all i really wanted was some more power for the DF...

DF250RTB 2012.

I have a question and no one has been able to answer it.. I have checked the bike and unable to locate the source:
The Problem:
I get a slight oil leak when my DF250RTB on the kickstand, it's a very slow leak. I put a newspaper below the leak.. But if I don't ride for a while the all the slow leak
dripping shows..

Where could the leak come from " could it be the gear seal or chain drive gears... any ideas..

Thanks..

I hope this not in the wrong area..

How about a photo up close in the area where you think the leak is coming from?
