    you can get parts on eBay, often from CA sellers.
    just post what you need someone will help you find it.

    if the rear brake ceased up it's likely caused from rusted/corroded brake poison chamber.
    take it off, disassemble, clean with a solvent, dry, then grease it up and resemble..

    don't freak out about these things nor rush to fix and just end up breaking something worse.
    as cheap as this bike is, it's equally as simple.
    and except for push rods, there are plenty of replacement parts to be had.
    just not every single part like a rear brake piston for example. if you actually needed one, you won't likely find one, but rather need to get an entire caliper... but it's available

    It has the overhead cam Honda clone engine. CB250 clone?
    This parts PDF might help

    I'm pretty sure it has an oil drain bolt in the crankcase.

    Is there a label on the engine type and its manufacturer just above the serial number, LF-something-something for "Lifan" and LC-something-something for "Loncin"?

    Heh, you are not visiting other topics. This one, branded as "Romet Ogar Caffe" is made by "Dafier", but there is also "Hanway", with the same design, but with "Yamaha" OHC engine, both from Jiangsu.

    If you're looking for a service manual for this particular bike, chances are that you’ll never find one. You'll find out about the engine from one source, about brakes from another source, on the sprockets from the third and so on. But have a doubt - you'll collect all the necessary info about the maintenance and repair very soon. As Axa wrote - they are simple, so have a little patience and you’ll get all you need.

    Cannot for the life of me get this brake pad to close the pads.

    're bleeding will not make a difference, nothing I've tried works.

    Tried switching one of the two front calipers to the back, same issue.

    Now no front brakes either lol.

    Why won't these 're pressurize after 're bleeding using the blender screw?

    I didn't realize this was a CB engine clone, all my comments, while some still apply, were meant for the CG clone.

    but even if you can find a model number on a label, that doesn't mean the replacement parts you find may fit all that well. that is my experience.

    You did something wrong, you may have to reverse that by connecting a line to the bleeder valve and pumping in fluid that way? I think you have air trapped in the caliber. If you cannot bleed that out through the bleeder valve, then you would need to feed the fluid in through the valve itself there are tools you can buy to do that.
    I think the number one rule is to never allow that reservoir to go dry.

    I had a bitch of a time bleeding the rear caliper one time on my DF. I ended up unbolting the the caliper off the bike, ( hose still on) hanging it down or up, I forget which , and using a Mityvac to get the air out.

    But in this case, I find it a little strange that the CB engine vibrates so much (remember - Zero is compared it with a vibrator).
