    On Thursday 12, 2012 I took delivery of my brand new Scooter, A Dongfang DF250STC (250cc).
    This is my question, it was made in September 2011, and I’m looking for a parts book.
    The engine was made by QINGQI 169mm #110400019. I have searched for 4 days now and
    have found no information about the engine or parts. If anyone has some insight please enlighten
    me.
    Thanks

    Dear BBrooks,

    Welcome to the forum, and, man, that's a nice looking scoot. Not sure I've ever seen a Dongfang like that here in China, ever.

    Thanks for posting pix, and don't hesitate to send more. We'll be looking forward to a performance review once you put down a couple hundred miles.

    I do think (and hope) someone here will be able to help find the user and/or shop manual. Why can't your dealer provide that for you?

    cheers!

    Well their you go, its is a YP250P Yamaha Majesty clone, even the gauges are copied.
    Yamaha never offered the Majesty 250 in the USA only the 400cc version.

    On my first 100 miles I was riding in wind gusts of up to 55/mph. Not a good time. But I did notice one of
    the rear tail light bulb was burned out. I didn’t think too much into this but after the battery was DOA
    a few times in the driveway I broke down and bought a battery charger. Upon closer inspection the bulb
    that came with the bike was a two element type. This made me think it was wired wrong. But much to my dismay, the socket was wired for a single element bulb. So the search is on for some solder less connectors to correct this. To better illustrate this, when the brake is applied all four rear lights should burn bright. But as it is now the two inner are only on when the brake is on. And the two outer do nothing. No big deal, after this I should be better acquainted with its little quirks. And one more note,
    the air-cleaner hose that connects the carb to the air-cleaner seems to be way too ridged and too long.
    The carb inlet compared to the air-cleaner is too far forward , so I trimmed it back and had to trim the inner diameter to fit snug. I may just end up replacing it later after I find some suitable hose.
