Yes very hard. Or at least that is what it has been for me.Now granted I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of the motor only from what I have been given as far as information here. But yes I got real lucky some guy was selling parts from a crotch rocket bike,that happened to use the same ( almost the same) engine.I had to fabricate a bit of motor mounts as the footprint was NOT identical.But she runs great.Just have an aggravating vibration at 45 to 50 throughout the bike.
I would love to bump her up just a little in cc"s but not much.I do not feel the brakes would handle anything bigger. Maybe an actual 250cc instead of the claimed 250 this motor is supposed to be. It is actually just a 229cc I think.
But someone needs to wake up out there and do something. But I guess this bike is just a go between or something. I would not have any issues with a new replacement Black actual DongFang motor for this bike. exact footprint and everything.
