Dong Fang DF250RTG

flatlandsouth82 · 03-27-2023, 09:26 AM

Well guys I would like to say that i have pics and stuff to show ya of my new df250rtg. But so far its been a night mare it came jacked up in shipping looks like forklift caught it . So 3 turn signals , a headlight, a combo switch, and probably another headlight later and ill be ready to get it to my house to get street legal. Whoever assembled it did a absolutely horrible job. They did not put any locknuts or washer on the hardware but yet my new lights came with locknuts and washers. Ill be going over the frame and bolts with with a fine tooth comb now. At this point im deep into time on the bike due to all the back an forth with Venom Motorsports. They are pretty good at helping . I was upset this time though the headlight bright wire had a dead short which cuased it to burn and smoke out. No more cheap crap ill get my own i had to modifyy the one they sent to fit anyways. Now waiting on a new combo switch it was stripped lol. So my advice spend the extra and get the Lifan or pray ya dont get a lemon lol the motor seems strong enough .

flatlandsouth82,
Sorry to hear about the shipping damage to your motorcycle.

I would have refused to accept the delivery.

I have had at least eight Chinese bikes and scooters delivered to me over the years without any damage. I must be lucky as all my Dong Fang motorcycles have been good.

I should have it was a messed up deal it was supposed to be doorstep delivery and the trucker called me and i had to drive my own vehicle to pick it up . Just so happened that i missed the two fork holes . Im mad at myself i reported the damage to the shipper and to Venom. There hasnt been one thing not messed up about the process so far.

What do you mean about missing the two fork holes?

I am thinking forklift holes. Must have hit the bike with the forklift.

If it isn't a forklift, then I am not sure what to make of the problem?

Was flatlandsouth82 operating the forklift and missed the forklift holes?
