Small problem.  If diurnal temp much exceeds 25degC, bike gets too hot and cuts out.  Seems like electrial fault.  Possibly cdi/tci transistor has thermal cutout included in package, and the heatsink isn't big enough.   I could create a new unit, or adapt another one.   Not sure which of the many modules is the ign unit, as this bike appears to be unique from almost all others.  there's no w/s manuals avail online and very little diagnostic help.   Not entirely happy, but still ok with it.

I've got a policy with a viva they've  allowed it so I was able to get insured. My insurance broker said that I could have had to go to a specialist chinese motorcycle insurer

Good to know. What is a viva? I did not realize there were specialist chinese motorcycle insurers but I guess that would make sense.

Hi I've just had a similar problem my skygo 200-18 is not listed on the insurance database only the skygo 200-10 and the 200-16 but as I've got a policy with a viva they've  allowed it so I was able to get insured.

Hi everyone I'm new to this group so apologies if I'm posting on the wrong page.I have just bought a second hand lifanskygo 200-18 200cc motorbike 2008 model had a bit of trouble in the beginning, someone had cross threaded the one spark plug so had to have it helicoiled, then the very stiff gear change became even stiffer no gears at all took it to a motorbike mechanics where it's been fixed and mot'd just needed some tlc having stood for a long time before I got it so hopefully the phoenix has risen from the flames ha ha is there anyone else out there got one of these bikes spares are going to be a real problem

Hi Sue, welcome to the forum! Congrats on the Skygo.

Did you have any luck finding a way to get a new key? I am not sure how to do that unless you bought a new keyed ignition. I'm not a mechanic thought so it may certainly be possible...
