With the winter off-road season upon us, I thought someone might be looking for a bargain ride.

To the guys credit, his write-up is actually better than a lot of toys I see advertised. He even takes the time to point out the engine makes a blistering 9.5 crank hp and 6 lb ft of torque...and that the spare tire is "just for decoration" :cool:



This is a 2012 DongFang DF150GKB which has been properly maintained for the past 2 years of it's current ownership. Everything works well, starts up with no hassle, runs good, drives in both forward and reverse, breaks fast, and steers fine. The tires were swapped out last year for new ones as the old ones were starting to show wear. The engine has been maintained as well with a carb-clean this year, oil change a few months ago, and a new spark-plug. The fuel line has been replaced along with the filter, and the fuel level meter stopped working so it was replaced. The breaking system was replaced and fully bled for maximum pressure for full breaking. Along with this, the break-pads were replaced. The headlight bulbs were replaced as the old ones began to die out. A makeshift cup-holder was added but can be removed with ease. Makeshift bike mirrors were also attached, but can also be removed with ease. The tire on the back is just for decoration, as it is one of the worn our tires.

The engine is a single cylinder 150cc 4 stroke air-cooled engine that produces roughly 9.5 crank hp @ 7,500RPM, with ~6 lbfeet of torque @ 6,000RPM. It has a top speed of ~30MPh. However, it feels quick and always ready to go.

The transmission is a single gear clutch-less transmission with a Neutral, Forward, and Reverse gear.

Complete list of maintenance performed in order from date of purchase -
New Headlight bulbs
New Battery
Wheel bearing lubrication (Extremely rare and generally unnecessary maintenance)
Steering calibration (Just to ensure the wheels were straight)
New Spark plug
Cleaned Carburetor
New tires
New main break cylinder
Breaks bled
New break pads
Oil change

Most of the work done to this machine will last the next few years, the only often needed maintenance is just to change the oil every year or so.

All information about operating the machine will be explained in person, however it mostly works like any other auto-mobile with an "automatic" transmission.

There is a point when eloquence and information become excessive. Like a drunk, or a guilty person explaining their alibi. My Mom used to call it "Diarrhea of the Mouth"

It's good to know about the make-shift cupholder that he added :)

See, you post the ad and then they start spamming the lounge. LOL
