I got mine from dennis kirk for about $45 a tire and they are a hell of a lot better than the kingstones that it came with.

Well I will keep it in mind to keep things G rated  :-\, anyway I personally have had many problems with my LF200 that I got from my local american lifan dealer and well in the first 6 months I had lots of problems with it and the only thing my dealer would tell me is that I should stop trying to do jumps with it. Even though I have lost exhaust studs, broken motor mounts, broken hubs, lost mirrors, and had the drum stablizer bar bolt snap in half and all I do with my bike is commute with no jumping, wheelies, or hard shifting yet they claim that im trying to motocross it. So I cut off ties with that dealership and tried to go to american lifan in dallas and well I have yet talk to anyone there that knows anything about the LF200 and for the most part they realy dont want to talk to you at all. So I deal solely with rabbit scooters, I have only had a couple shipping problems but they at least know their products and their parts.

LF200 / Rear Hubs
« on: March 04, 2008, 09:03:00 AM »
Apparently I am pretty much one of the only people that has this problem but I have broken 3 rear hubs in the two years that I have had my bike and well im looking at getting a spare hub and having it copied in either billet or standard aircraft quality aluminum. If I do this it will probably be made on a C&C mill and they will have a computer record of the design so I should be able to have as many copies as I want made, so would anyone else out there be interested in a stronger hub? Btw Ikyblk you will probably need one with that turbo bike because if im breakin hubs on 18 or 19 horsepower then your pretty much f***ed lol.

It would be nice to have a large parts suppier although it would be realy nice if they base a wharehouse in the midwest or the east coast becuase it sucks havin to get parts from california, especially when somthing breaks and your bike is grounded for a week because you need parts like I am currently  ::)

It will be comming down to crunch time for all these motorcycle importers and makers and pretty much only the strongest will survive. I just hope the prices wont go up soo much that they are just a step below the japanese like hyosung.

Chit Chat / Other Chinese Motorcycles
« on: March 03, 2008, 07:00:59 AM »
I have been doing some research on some of the other chinese motorcycles and I am pretty impressed with what I am seeing and the future is looking bright. So far Tank and Zongshen seem to be ones to look out for considering Tank is comming out with larger displacment street bikes which will be much better for American riders who use highways to get around more than small city streets. Also I think Zongshen could be a big player in the future considering that if they have a Moto GP team then they should have the engineres there to make some realy outstanding bikes in the future. Also its goods to see that Lifan is introducing a 400cc cruiser and maybe a 400cc LF model. But I think in 5 years time people wont be laughing at the idea of a chinese motorcycle and acually start accepting them as part of the motorcycling community.

LF200 / Problems
« on: February 27, 2008, 12:02:57 PM »
I figured that I would make this poll to see what problems others are having and if we can figure out a better solution that just replacing bad parts with bad parts. My personal biggest problem is rear hubs, my third one just broke on me the other day and the cause apears to just be the spacers breaking apart from the twisting force on the hub from the sprocket.

LF200 / Re: Getting Lf200 in spring. Plz help a Noob.
« on: February 24, 2008, 08:29:35 PM »
Well for starters repainting would not be too big of a deal but everything else would be tricky. The bike does not come with a sound system at all so you would have to custom mount some boat speakers probably in the fairing then make a waterproof cradle for your mp3 player to be safe without worrying about water damage if you run into rain. The only storage space you have is about a 6" by 8" compartment under the seat about 4 inches deep. And noise wise the bike is realy quite with the stock exhaust but you will probably never hit 100mph with it on because it is way too restrictive. Learning how to ride the bike is pretty easy as long as you know how to take off and shift which will take about a day or two of practice to get used to.

LF200 / Re: Chain Guard
« on: February 24, 2008, 04:20:31 PM »
Ya I'll try to get some pics of it if I have time, btw I also forgot to mention  if you look at those pics of the 15tooth install there are two wired plugs that go into the case and I would like to know what exactly that plug is on the bottom because I have a good sized oil leak comming from it.

LF200 / Chain Guard
« on: February 24, 2008, 08:54:10 AM »
I pulled off my cover to check out my front sprocket the other day and I noticed a lot of metal shavings in the cover, so I looked around and saw that apparently my chain has been grinding on the chain guard that the stator wiring goes behind. Has anyone else had this problem before?

I think this will be a good place to continue what you started almon and hopfully this will help make the LF200 into a good cult bike.
