Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

I'm not an expert level mechanic, but I have picked up a lot over the years. If your engine is dimensionally similar to the 250 in my RTC (bore larger than stroke), the engine generally likes somewhat higher RPMs. Lugging it to much can be hard on the main bearings and cylinder walls. So, to say you are using the 5th gear as an overdrive at 50 mph, I think would be pretty accurate. I don't see any problem with cruising at 5000RPM with these motors personally. I am planning on putting a 35 tooth rear sprocket on my RTC soon. Did you get the one that fits the Honda Rebel?

Thanks, I figure that was a good thing to do.The low RPM is quite sluggish unless i am doing 50 or better.. so great . The sprocket I got from a link that Dan the man gave us on here a couple pages back.It is from old bike barn part number JT Rear Sprocket JTR279.35T 35 Tooth.
