Well I like to take very good care of the engine. I'm not dogging the bike I'm trying to be gental with the bike... for some reason left hand side washer just bends and causes weird rear movement and then it just doesn't feel right at all. Yes I am tightening the chain correctly. I had to replace the washers now I'm good. I had to readjust the rear wheel like ever 100 to 200 miles. But now is all good man. But I will always change oil after ever 300 miles..... well mainly because I care about the bike and I want to take good care of it. I mean he doesn't have to change the oil every 300 miles lol... his choice...

One day I got lazy and let the rear wheel do its thing, well it got so bad that you can see the rear wheel was turned to the left bad to the point you can see it to the naked eye.
Let my dad drive it and he has alot of moto xp than me by far and he did not like how it drove... he adjusted the wheel after that for me lol

I have had plenty of mini bikes... took very good care of them till I went up to the real deal motorcycle. I try to do the same for my df. Keep her healthy and clean. I can't find the oil filter on it and it's getting to me now... I'm a little worried

Remember..... I'm a dummy noob about motorcycles, I'm learning rn through time and experience

Could you take a photo of the left side "washer" that just bends that causes weird rear movement? Well you can change the oil as often as you want, doesn't make sense to change it that often but if it makes you happy go for it. How often do you change the oil in your car?

KyzoSoupz · 05-17-2020, 07:40 PM

Yea, even my dad was like...... dude you dont need to change your oil that much.

I’m going to try this rear swing arm on one of my CG’s.

Oil companies love you!

There is an oil screen on the DF. Use a 24mm socket to remove it to change your oil. No separate oil filter.

Yes, I thought that little screen was a filter but..... I wasn't sure, I thought there had to be a filter. Ehh well life just got easy. No replacement filter yay!

Now, if I may ask. How often do you change oil on your motorcycles?

I go according to the owner's manual as it varies by vehicle. Look in your owner's manual. You do have an owner's manual, right?
The manufacturer should know better than me.
BTW The odometer on my DF250RTG in in kilometers.

KS,
Still waiting on a photo of the left mechanism that you are having trouble with it causing the rear wheel to go out of alignment.

franque · 05-18-2020, 06:50 AM

There is a centrifugal oil 'slinger' and that functions to get fine metallic particles out of the oil, it is on the clutch side, and it would be a good idea to clean it out after the 1st 1000 miles or so.

Not saying there is not a oil slinger on the 165FMM engine but have not found any mention of it.
