Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

[bowtiewagon]

Got my chain I ordered in, hoping to get it on this weekend, since the weather may be good enough to ride in. I also hope that it is the cure for the problem I was having that I showed y'all in the video. Anyway, will let ya know soon.

Vince, that's just hilarious. Did the Dong Fang girls come out and offer to work your throttle?

I reckon you already know this but Dong Fang (东方) means "the orient" in Chinese.

cheers!

euphonius,
The Chinese lady did not understand or speak English except to say "You want massage" over and over. I tried to get across that the motorcycle was called Dong Fang but was not successful. I'll have to go back with your 东方 printed out when I have more time.

Just did the headlight fix on my 2010. The blue-white wire coming from the front of the bike was recessed a good 2 inches into the shrink tube. I'd have to say i would have NEVER found that wire without help from this forum.

Well I got her back together this weekend. New chain, sprocket, bushings etc. took her for a quick spin around the block.. all noises previous to changes have since disappeared. So I guess my old chain was the major issue all along. In riding I also heard an exhaust leak, so I checked around the flange, and about an inch below it was a small rust hole in the exhaust pipe. Gonna have that fixed soon. No difference in performance. I will have my bro-in-law weld it for me, cheaper that way. besides I want to wrap the pipe anyway. Going to go with a gray wrap or black wrap. Haven't decided yet. Hope everyone had a grand Thanksgiving.

Hey guys new to forum. I have a df250 rtb and have 100 miles on it. Love it, but I keep blowing a hose on the right side of the engine that comes off the cylinder head. Hose is for portion of exhaust going to what I believe is an egr valve for emissions. Any ideas why this keeps blowing? I am wondering if silicone tubing or braided steel line will work better to handle pressure and heat. I have replaced the junk hose with local stuff but hose ruptures after about 30 miles. Bike runs fine when hose is not attached just louder.

I think others have had this issue. You might be able to find the solution if you search the forum. I believe something within the egr valve itself is installed backwards. I think they had to take the valve apart and reverse a piece inside of it. It's like a check valve that is installed backwards and the pressure causes the hose to blow off.

It is pollution control. A lot of us have just removed the whole assembly and made a plate to cover the outlet in the head and buy a cap for the port in the carb. I think it makes the engine sound a lot better.
