Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

[Gardo]

Dear Gardo,

The bike she looks and sounds great! She's retro and minimalist at the same time. And, though it's hard to tell via video, the noise level sounds lower than you and barnone had led me to believe.

For Scene 2 do you have a helmet mount for your camera?

Good luck with registration, and thanks for posting!

cheers

thanks Mate, dont let my lil digicam Mic fool you the pipe she is loud. No helmet cam yet may have to check ebay for one.

Supposedly the MSO is due in tomorrow I paid for the UPS 2 day so we will see.
Here's to me half arsing a job at the CEO's house tomorrow so I can run home and reg the bike then take it for a legal spin... but dont tell the wife

Barnone - I feel like I hijacked your thread sorry mate

Barnone - I feel like I hijacked your thread sorry mate

Gardo,
I prefer to keep all the dialog on a model of a bike in one place so don't feel that you have hijacked my thread.

I'd change the name of this thread to something like "Dong Fang DF250RTB Bobber Information" if I could ,maybe a moderator has the power?

The Qlink XP/XF200 or whatever name it's called information is spread all over this forum and keeps getting repeated and repeated.
How many questions have been asked about the 125cc performance can?

euphonius,
Trust me, that bike is too loud. Even with a full face helmet on, the sound hurt my ears. My 10" of baffle has tone it down a bit. How it passed the EPA test is beyond me.

nice quick vid =)
Once mine gets to the door I'll shoot some video with my GoPro HD.

Just a quick question for you guys so I can put in my order for the sprockets.
What size is the chain thats on there? 520 or 530?
I was thinking of going with a 14 tooth up front and a 37-38 tooth rear, the only issue with a 37 tooth is it would take over 2 mins to get to top speed lol.

Aboshi,
If I was you I would wait until I get my 14 tooth sprocket because I am concerned about whether there is room for it. My sprocket should be here soon. Jets just came in and I'm going to change the mainin a few minutes. Will take a few photos.

[Aboshi]

Awesome =)

Thanx for the heads up.

As for the 14 tooth not fitting cant you just leave the cover off? Or is the stator wire in the way?

I think it's the neutral indicator wire but just guessing. I'll take photos when I get the sprocket..
EDIT: They finally shipped the sprocket today.

Turn off fuel at the tank and drain the gas out of the float bowl.


Remove air cleaner and two nuts honding carb on the bike. 10mm open end wrench.



Remove carb from manifold and three screws holding float bowl on carb. Main jet is the one in the center. Replace main jet.




Make sure the accelerator pump is under the tab when you put the bowl back on.
There is an adjustment for the pump which I haven't fooled with yet.
Also have not fooled with the neetle height or low speed jet. One thing at a time for me.

Reinstall carb and air cleaner.

Results: The bike pulls better and revs higher. Was stumbling at high RPM before change.

Stock main is a 88. I used a 100 for the first try. Also have a 105 and a 110 maybe to try.
Stock pilot (low speed) is a 40.

Jets from http://www.jetsrus.com/a_jets_by_car...4-36_main.html

Thats great Barnone. Thanks for the lesson. In other Gardo news I got my MSO today and its correct. I say that this is a definite plus 1 for scooterdepot. All things considered I'd buy from them again. Now i just have to wait till sat to get her registered and legit. Boooo

i didnt hear it that way. I actually like the sound of the bike. I'm in a bit of a densely populated area and the pipe being that loud wakes some of these fools up
I have a full face as well the Advanced Hawk Black Flat Full Face Motorcycle Helmet from leatherup.com.

May actually start a thread on what protective gear do you wear
