Springfield is pretty flat and if you are not too heavy you might want to try the 33 tooth. part numbers run JTR279.33, JTR279.35, or JTR279.38

Better check with the MO registration office to see if you can title/tag the DF250RTB before you order one.
No go in CA,NJ,and PA for sure.

I weigh a buck fifty but im 6 ft 1in. As far as i know we have no issue with reg in mo bc there are some local scooter shops with the df in stpck sat pn one earlier today and didt feel too small but drag bars are gpnna be must

if itll do 80 with an average size man on it I do believe its more hastle than its worth to up engine it , if you need a bike to do 100 you need a bigger bike

Main Headlamp low or high beam not working, can get passing high to impulse . Small 'parking' lamp works. With the TANK OFF how can I 'lamp test' lines thru the system if the low & high beams only operate with the motor running?
{Bulbs good}
By the way just got the Lithium battery in, when I picked up the box, I thought they shipped paper only. Unbelievably light! Need to figure out best position in battery box ( allot smaller too)

There is a wiring schematic in the owner's manual that is kinda right. Did you say the blue/white wires under the tank were connected? Was the headlight working before you changed the handle bars? If so then I would check the wiring and switch at the handle bars.

Important note to new bike owners. (Not just Chinese bikes but all bikes)

PUT THE BIKE TOGETHER AS DELIVERED, RIDE IT FOR A WHILE, AND CHECK IT OUT COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING MODIFICATIONS.

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS.

DON'T OVER TORQUE FASTENERS.

DO ONE MOD AT A TIME. CHECK YOUR WORK BEFORE CONTINUING.

Several people here have made a lot of mods without even riding the bike as stock and the mods had to be backed off in order to trouble shoot the problems. This happened big time to a guy with a Qlink XF200 and he started bad mouthing the bike immediately. All the problems were user caused.

You gonna order from your local dealer? IF so post their website and let us know the results of the transaction.
Take your time on the mods.

Using Diagram, checked that left switch first, yes Blue / White at junction checked-ok (but intend to check it's route next)

How do you test High/Low lines with the tank off, if they require engine on?

No mods made until break in completed, each mod test driven before next. Regretfully wasn't paying attention to headlamp. I will be checking CDI connections in container & ignition switch connections (moved to removed EPA air system bracket) as well.

Check out and ride the bike before you change the rear sprocket and the handlebars. Check all the lights, controls, engine response, brakes, shifting,etc.
