4:01 most motor parts have to be back-traced through their lineage. If I remember correctly, the motor is an up-jugged 200 Honda motor or something like that. Brake pads and shoes need to be hand-matched.
I got mine from venom… bad shipping has led to countless problems. Definitely get it from another distributor. I’m currently looking into the possibility of a kickstart conversion
I have this same bike, I like it but I’ve had electrical problems I bought it at 480 miles with a blown CDI chip and have also had to replace one of the turn signals, also the starter solenoid is going out but it’s a fun bike I daily it to work, I’m up to 1400 miles now need to do an oil change soon but not sure what kind of oil it needs or how much to put in
‼️ I DO NOT RECOMMEND‼️ You would think a brand new motorcycles would last more that 4 months My perchase was a sportster chopper 250cc I received the motorcycle on April 19, 2023 the motorcycle had 5 damaged/ broken parts to it and when I received it. I called/emailed in about it and it was all a hassle. They proceeded to tell me that the the "warranty" only covers shipping of any replacement items after the first month. I recently called about a clutch cable that snapped in 4 months of owning the motorcycle and they sent the wrong replacement (still charged $24 shipping) and when I inquire they say it was installed incorrectly. (I had a motorcycle mechanic instal it) they refuse to assist and ship correct item and say you need to wait 24-48 hours to speak to a manager. ‼️ I DO NOT RECOMMEND ‼️
I mean my dude, it’s made in china. It’s not going to last forever especially if it is made in a country that doesn’t give a shit about quality. Chinese motorcycles require much mor maintenance.
Try Honda C70 Passport, or CT90 brake shoes for the rear, I know this is probably a dead point by now. But if the info helps someone, then it's all good.
curious as to whether or not you'd be able to fit a passenger on this guy- I'm 6'2 and people are giving me a lot of grief for looking at small displacement bikes lol
i am 6.0, i unfortunately traded this bike for a TU250X. there is nothing wrong with 250cc bikes, i love them and they will keep out of trouble and alive longs if your dont be stupid on them. but they sure do keep you out of trouble.
Heck yea man! Your going to love it. Just be warned that the shifter is sensitive and you can cause a slip. Try not to have your foot on the shifter unless you need to shift.
Yea dude, one of my cons about the bike is how sensitive the shifter is, but it's an over all great bike. I dont think I'll get rid of it when I get my next bike which will be the CSC RX4. I'll have that and this bike.
Its not easy to shift to neutral, most of the time I went straight to 2nd gear, when trying to go to neutral. Maybe its my heavy boots, might try a lighter riding boots
No, sometimes you need to rock the bike back and forth. Eventually you will be so well tuned getting in neutral will be easy. Although some bike are hard to shift into neutral
It's not your fault. I have a new Ghost 250cc . Same thing. I also had a 125cc Pagsta . Same thing. The 125cc started shifting right after numerous oil changes and clutch adjustments. At 1,000 miles it started working right and then a lady ran it over in it's parking spot.
@@danl5632 I don't know . I've heard .0025,.003,.004 . I haven't gotten to take a look at mine yet. As for the shifting I tightened up the clutch cable a little bit at the lever up top and mine can find neutral now. I would go .0025 or .003 personally. That's what my 125cc liked.
Took exactly 5 days. Dosnt take long at all. I recommend buying from vennom motorsports. But unfortunately there sold out. I would try redox power sports, but they have a reputation for there delivery to damage the products because they chose a shitty trucking company.
And if you buy they bike, make sure you force the trucker to stay until you have unboxed it and record it. Because if there is damage, the trucker is responsible for it. And video evidence will save your ass.
Hey i know you trades the bike but how did you tighten your real suspsension, i have the rtb i think, its this bike but with a diffirent seat and tank, having alot of electrical problems but i loved it before that
If you look on the suspension, there is a prong. You may need to use something to grab he of it. Wist it to desired adjustment. Yea..... that is kinda why I sold it, I was as well having wiring issues. Well now the Suzuki is gone and I have a 2005 yamaha fz6. Once I get a new gp to replace the one stolen ill upload again
About 320 lb I believe. It honestly not that heavy unless you try to pick the entire bike up by yourself which you should never do. Two grown men can lift the bike easily.
Yea man its 320 lb. Trust me that's a feather for a bike. That isn't that much. It's a wonderful motorcycle, very flickable. So if you drop the bike, dont worry you can pick it up. My next bike is going to be the CSC RX4 which is about 420 lb. That is heavy, if you dropped the rx4 you will have a difficult time lifting it back up if your not strong enough.
just take your certificate of origin to the dmv. but you have to have insurance on it before you can register it. its not difficult, it was easy for me
@@coolhanddougy man your gonna love it. i highly recommend replacing the seat and the turn signals and rear brake light. the brake light and turn signals are dangerously not bright enough
RUclips gear ratio in engine size depending on the gear ratio on how long the gears are for the gearbox and how many gears you have depends on the speed

Nothing wrong with small cc bikes, economical and fun to ride. This scoot looks great.
Yes especially during the gas prices small cc is a must nowadays

Nice bike really good on gas I bet. That red color is very sweet
My motto: Run what you bring! Screw the negative.
Caliper measures are a China riders best friend for matching parts, friendly tip.
set of trail bars and a proper gear change lever and it is ok for what is it, maybe some semi-trail tyres, on/off road type,

A clutch cable, seriously? That’s hardly a serious repair issue.

What's the valve clearance on these motors? I have the 2022 model of this bike.
2:32 could that be because of the jetting?

Same. Just got mine a week ago, so glad it’s not just me haha 😅
What wrench sizes do you need to work on the bike ? Like installing the tire and changing the oil and stuff ?
I honestly do not remember, it's been 2 years since I have last owned the DF250RTG
It comes with wrenches, I swapped mine for better ones.
Dongfangs website is back up
Where did you get parts plz if you remember. For brakes
I honestly do not remember man. I apologize, it’s been almost 4 years
Guess I know what to buy
This or enfield classic 350?? The enfield looks nicer but performs about the same and is double the price. ~5500. Hmm. Thoughts?
How fast was the shipping?

Venom Motorsports is where I got it

Did you end up buying it?

I have no idea man, haven’t had this bike for three years
😂 Why?
Just bought one of these. Do you happen to know what type of rear sprocket will fit?
No
How the hell do you put this front tire on bro
You need tire tools, I can make a RUclips video how to do it if you would like?

I am 6.1 feet tall, I changed the seat to let me sit back farther. Its pretty confterble, I dont feel cramped at all.

RUclips gear ratio in engine size depending on the gear ratio on how long the gears are for the gearbox and how many gears you have depends on the speed
Top speed?
65mph
but if you where to change gear ratio you can go 75mph. the bike is kinda low gear
