Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

[bowtiewagon]

Well Bike has been down for two weeks. Starter took a kill. I figure it is the celanoid in the starter,cause it whines o.k. but does not turn the bike over. Bought a brand new battery( needed one anyway).I called scooterdepot and ordered a new starter from them on friday 5/2/14 had to keep calling back all last week until I finally got someone to explain why I have yet to be charged on my card and why it hasn't shipped yet. Got a load of comments from him, but he assures me(not very assuring) that when it is ready to ship they will contact me. I told them I need this in a rush, does not seem to matter much. I had to call them as I had nowhere else to go to find this starter.Costing me around $90 shipped so far, not real sure exactly what the final total will be until the contact me telling me it shipped.
As much as I love this bike, some things just cause alot of unnessesary headaches when trying to locate parts for it. Maybe it is just that this is my daily driver, and I need it every day to and from work. Or maybe I am just impatient. Either way it sucks that i cannot ride when the weather has been awesome around here.
Will keep you posted on when the starter gets here.

Thanks Bar, but thats the problem I have ..I am not 100% that any of these are the correct application. There is not any reference numbers on the starter on the bike that I can find. I would not want to pick on of those up, and it be incorrect. This one that I am supposed to be getting is the actual starter for the bike. But I will keep record of these on hand, just in case I run into an issue with scooter depot. I still have not heard back from them about my order going on the secodn week now. Only good thing is it has been raining realativle hard for the past two days, and expected to rain tomorrow. But the rest of the week looks great for riding so my attitude will change real fast when the sun shines again.

Can you measure your starter and compare it to the ones I mentioned?

Looks like someone installed a Iron Head Hog in a stretched DF250RTB-B.

No comments from the peanut gallery?

Roadkill,
Just moved your post below. I'll order the CDI to try on my DF.

Id be pretty shocked if this works but do let us know.
maybe poor stock timing can improve with an adjustable one, what do i know

You have been wanting to put more motor in your DF250RTB-B.

I've tried to track the guy down but no luck so far.
I am less that ten miles away from the Dragon now that I am in NC for the next six months.

Axa It's not adjustable but I have been running it for a couple of weeks now and am happy. I saw a couple of adjustable units but I'm not smart enough to set one up.
