I think the company was called Rockford Manufacturing...... saw a few online they referred to as 'Rockford Bridgestone Chibi' but it seems they eventually dropped the Bridgestone from the name altogether.
Actually sold it already. Took a beating but that's the way it goes sometimes. Looked into a used motor as an option ($800) but decided against that too.Rebel 250 isn’t a terrible bike but probably not worth putting 1k into fixing. Either way you are gonna lose money.
sorry it blew up. Really sucks no matter what you do.
