Hi all, I’m excited to form a part of this forum. I purchased two fl250s about a month ago, 600$ a piece. The yellow one is real complete and well preserved. The red one has a custom built roll cage and a DG exhaust pipe and a copper head gasket. I was able to get both of them running and took them on a trip to the little Sahara in Oklahoma. Had a blast. Have a couple questions now as to the performance and lights. What top speed should I be seeing from them? What’s their normal operating temperature? What’s the most convenient way to run led lights on them? They both have the 6 v points system. Thanks in advanced for any help

You can go as fast as it takes to get you 6' underground, without a helmet!

Definitely, DO NOT ride without safety gear. Wrist straps and shoulder straps included.



Top speed of an FL250 should be close to 50mph, but again, as stated above...


Normal operating temperature has so many variables -- cylinder head temp? Exhaust temp? It's crucial to verify there are no air leaks in the system or your FL250's will not last.


The 6 volt points system is crap...sorry. There are conversions to stator 12 volt systems that will allow much more reliability and then your lighting options become endless.
