Make sure your choke is off.

Yes sir, I know. It's on the carburetor

Looking good. What is the seat height after switching over to the new seat? Shopping for a bike for a shorter rider and hoping that lowered it a bit. Any videos up of it running yet?

KyzoSoupz · 05-14-2020, 05:42 PM

Well, I'm exactly 6'0" soo.... I dont feel cramped on it, in fact the new seat is very comfy. Riding all day is no problem. No bad vibrations to cause fatigue. Really good bike. And now I have the engine broken in, it should have a 6th gear honestly, for as a highway gear because man it does have some power for that little 223cc I'm suprized!

I have about the same seat on my DF and the seat height is between 28" to 29 " without me sitting on it. The stock seat is about the same.

I think you could drop the front a little by raising the fork tubes in the triple clamp and the rear with shorter springs.

Don't know of any rear rack but one could be made out of the rear grab bar.
Please post some photos of your DF.

The trailer is an Aosom Elite. When the bicycle wheels wore out I replaced them with pit bike wheels. I have one in Florida and one in North Carolina. Been pulling them for about 15 years without issues except the canvas wore off the one in NC since I use it a lot more there.

Just bolt the hitch to the lower rear shock mountain stud.
Here a hitch is on my CT70 clone. Have a hitch on all my motorcycles, bicycles, and scooter.
Never bothered tagging them or rigging up lights and never been stopped by LEOs.
Even tow it behind my mini Jeep for trash pickup and other hauling duties.

Got 1200 miles on the bike now..... so far so good but one issue..... constant rear wheel alignment.... I think I'm going to change the washers on the back because they are no good. But should all be good afterwards.
