Thanks, it is a 1989 ex Uhaul box truck. I'm gonna leave it here in NC and leave the other truck in FL and just drive my little car back and forth. The DF and the monkey bikes are going to stay in NC and the W650 will stay in FL.

Anybody do a kick start conversion on their DF? I guess the muffler would have to be moved a little aft.
I'm asking because it is the only bike out of my five that doesn't have a kick start.
Maybe it is not worth the effort? If I ever had to replace the engine that would be the time to do it.

Here is how it is done on a Honda Rebel... Notice the years of the parts. 250 Kick Start with Bearing and Seal - Honda Rebel Forum

Rotten weather all week, have not been able to ride at all. Looking forward to Saturday, although they say it will be in the 40's But hey I need to ride, so i am just gonna get all bundled up and tool around for a while. Got 13,058 miles on her, she yearns for more.

I don't know what the throttle cable setup is on the DF125RTB. What carburetor does it have?

Maybe someone else here knows? Could you post a photo of the carburetor and the cable setup?

The DF250RTB has a PZ30 pumper carb which is like the PZ26 here

Yes sir, sure is. 13,058 miles.
Rode this morning into work, a brisk 50 on the mercury gauge, and they say you can subtract 10 degrees when you ride, so felt like 40. but heck, what a ride.

Barnone ,, yes it's the same as this and has another cable to the left of the carb that pulls the same as the main one on the top ,,, what is this for I have here it's just for safety if you throttle stays on or jams up this will close the carb off ???
