About 37k miles, I believe the previous owner messed something up on a valve adjustment or changing the cct that caused the problem. These are good engines and should last well over 100k miles

Thanks Todd, glad to help 🤣🤣

Unfortunately things do happen, I have a Yamaha FJR 1300 that I just replaced the engine on with only 37k miles and they normally go well over 100k miles. Maintenance is the key to longevity of an engine, changing oil regularly, valve adjustments, coolant change and flush, cleaning and adjusting the cvt belt and things of that sort help tremendously. Of course there are still times when things just happen, if it’s mechanical it will fail eventually. Our hope is that it will last as long as possible. Thanks for sharing the information and I hate that you had to go through that.

Yeah, I think so too

Your right and it's super smooth while doing it too! This engine is very impressive, I'm sure I will be over 80mph GPS eventually. Thanks for the comment

Hi David, honestly, I don't even look at the rpm to shift, I go by the sound of the engine. I have been riding a long time and hear the engine rev up to a certain point I shift, same goes for downshifting. 70mph in 5th is running pretty high rpm probably close to 9000 rpm I would guess, 6th gear at 70mph would be close to 8000 rpm. I have run long distances with the throttle almost pegged without damaging effects, after its broken in of course.

This is the video I did on the slides ua-cam.com/video/AsY6mRGtPaM/v-deo.html I would buy a new diaphragm for the accelerator pump if it was me, a good made in Japan one, the nozzles would be tiny, I have cleaned ports in carbs with small diameter fishing string before, it's fairly stiff and doesn't damage or scratch the inside.

@@herbiesgarage681 Thanks for the reply, I found that video after I sent the comment. One other question; Can I remove the top plate where the nozzles are without removing the carburetor bundle to try to clean the nozzles and to see if gas is being moved through the accelerator pump? I spent 1,200.00 at a local shop to have them rebuilt after a long term improper storage. Now since the rebuild the bike won't idle without being half choked and the Accelerator pump not functioning.

@@jeffpayne2261 the accelerator pumps function is to come on at immediate throttle input to help the pilot jet get fuel in quickly so the bike won’t stumble. A poor idle probably won’t be found in the accelerator pump. I would first try turning the idle speed up until it’s idling 800-850 rpm and see if that resolves it. If it doesn’t unfortunately you might have to revisit the pilot circuit or even worse you may have a vacuum leak. There’s so many vacuum lines, trying to track that down could be a task, hopefully it’s not that. If the pump isn’t squirting at all on either nozzle I would find that strange. I’m not sure about taking the top off. Anything pump related I think I would take the carb out but that’s just me

venommotorsportsusa.com is where I bought mine, I don't know if they ship to Pakistan though, you will have to contact them and ask. The KPR is a wonderful bike

@@herbiesgarage681 i want spareparts it will possible to ship

Hello Ray, they do make vented jackets which mine in the video is, nothing you wear will feel cool on super hot days that’s for sure. This scooter is capable of doing 60 mph plus possibly up to 70mph. I am told that it is possible to get close to 100 mpg although I wouldn’t know yet. It is a very nice scooter for sure, Venom has a $100 off program going right now too. Tell them Herbie sent you 😊

Thanks my friend! I heard from a very smart man a long time ago that if you don’t fix things on your vehicle as they break pretty soon you’ll be looking to buy another vehicle spending a ton of money and then the cycle will repeat. To save money, keep up on the small repairs and your older vehicle may last many years. I have never forgotten that

That’s a good idea 👍🏻

That sounds like a great price, hopefully the original owner broke it in properly and didn’t trash it. My ghost has been a great bike

I believe that you can run it without a battery, although I haven't tried to. The battery should be mainly to run the lights and things.

I will eventually find out after it’s broken in, but I expect to hit at least 60 mph

Hey Tony, yeah it’s a blast, I need to get it out again for a rip 😁

Yeah, it usually takes a little time to break in and loosen up

Thank you very much and thank you for subbing, I really appreciate all my subscribers, I see it as support for me. Thanks

Thanks Jerry!

Thanks, okay, I won’t forget about the KPM content, I love that bike! 😁

Your welcome and I hope you get yourself one, I’m hearing good things about this scooter

Hi Dan, no I don’t believe that it has rear abs but I know what you are talking about because when I saw the ring and sensor, I thought the same thing. But I believe it is the speedometer ring and sensor for the speedometer. If you put the bike on the center stand and rev it up you can see the mph increase with the rear wheel movement even while the front wheel isn’t moving, that tells me it’s a for the speedometer. Thanks

That would make sense, since you already had the bike delivered 😂 But it’s an industry term referring to the inspection before giving the bike to the customer for him or her to take delivery of and enjoy riding it. In that sense it’s a pre delivery to the customer inspection. Thank you!

I really couldn’t believe how nice this scooter is, we need to ride it more before I make a final judgment on it but so far so good! Thanks

Thanks Jerry, it really is, scooter is registered now so we’ll have to see what it’ll do 😁

@@herbiesgarage681 don't go ragging out your wife's scooter now. 😂

@@JerryHawk250 you mean testing it 😂

@@herbiesgarage681 if that's what you want to call it. 😂

@@JerryHawk250 it’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😂

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw the broken wire, mine was an easy repair, hopefully yours will be too

Thank you and good luck with the Hawk! I know they are a popular bike, hopefully you can get the bugs worked out. God bless my friend

Hello, is it turning over on its own with the ignition off, or starting on its own with the ignition off? If it’s turning over with the ignition off then a bad starter relay is what I would be looking at. The primary side of the relay would have to be stuck closed and that would spin the starter until the battery went dead I would think. If it’s actually starting on its own, I don’t even know if that is possible. Too many things would have to go bad at once for that to happen. Do you have a remote start added onto the bike?

It did have some vibration at 55 or above and then I balanced the wheels and that took care of it. My bike feels like any other bike now. I also changed the tires to a more street tire, but I balanced both sets of tires and the bike runs great at all speeds now.

Yeah it does but it’s just a little loud for me

Thanks

Thank you Michael I really appreciate that, very much!! If you’re a Mississippian you are definitely a good guy 😁 Wow, impressive job and retired now I’m jealous 😂 God bless to you and yours as well

@@herbiesgarage681 Thanks, My dad and my brother are both retired Feds...I was the black sheep resisting the "family business" until I reached 30 YOA and then jumped in 😀I pulled the plug after 24 years and 9 months. It was a good move for us in the end. Now, I just like to take long trips on the FJR all summer long 😎

@@MichaelJones-ir3cc lucky dog 😁 but I’m happy for you

@@herbiesgarage681 I just sent you an introductory email to your email account. Just sayin' hello!

I haven’t had to replace the battery yet but when I do I’ll do a video on it. If you need one now just take measurements and get the same amp hour battery. This is what is in my bike MG7-A-C 12v 8ah

Hello Richard, the vent works great, it directs air at my neck and face which is what I wanted. It doesn’t cause helmet buffeting that I’ve noticed

If you used the rubber grommets on the windscreen then what did you use for the big holes in the plastic cover for the muffler? Just wondering

@@herbiesgarage681 The four screws with the giant heads and a washer on each one.

@@herbiesgarage681 I don't know that the way I did it was correct but would be nice if we could make sure.

@@rcgamer I’ll see what I can find out on it

Awesome Dan! 👍🏻 Did you order the trunk and rack from Venom or somewhere else?

@@herbiesgarage681 Amazon. But I got the KPV 150 from Venom.

Thank you

Awe, Thank you Billy we appreciate that! She says thank you, she appreciates the support!

Thank you, yeah being away from everything helps her not to worry about stuff and focus on learning her technique of riding

Yes, she will have lots of practice before hitting the road and mostly remote roads first. Thanks

@@herbiesgarage681 ,ok goo an most definitely

@@herbiesgarage681 ,she looked like she was having a blast an picking it up pretty well, always nice to watch when someone gets the hang of it an enjoying themselves an smiling,which I couldn't tell with her helmet riding a bit away, smiles an her picking up speed nothing too crazy an her taking turns around the lot says a lot you know,made me smile that someone else was enjoying learning to ride,I love it,I'm gonna have go my privet parking lot area to practice my drills an turns an learn more on counter steering without a crowd watching me practice before my road test,I get way she didn't want anyone but you watching her ride,it makes me nervous when I see someone watching me besides family,at least until you get in your comfort zone.

@@kennywheelus6857 Absolutely understand that, I hope you pass with flying colors, I know you will 👍

@@herbiesgarage681 , awesome, ty I appreciate it

Thanks Kenny, yeah watching for others is a big thing, people are more distracted than ever with the cell phone thing.

@@herbiesgarage681 ,your welcome,yes sir I agree,I almost got hit 4 times in Walmart parking lot when looking for a place to park,as I passed,I looked dead in lady's eyes on a up an down aisle,an she kept heading my way as I was going slowly watching for pedestrians an I swerved an ride down to the lawn an garden area an parked,so I could calm my nerves.

@@kennywheelus6857 wow, fortunately for me I’ve not had too many instances like that. Be safe my friend

@@herbiesgarage681 ,yes sir, that's good an will do,thank you,like wise,take care an be safe

Thanks, it’s been my experience with these Lifan bikes that the oil that gets shipped with the bike is good oil and I usually keep it in until about 35 miles until all the parts play together for a while. Then I drain it and refill with my favorite oil. In years past on my first bike I had shipped to me the oil in that bike was different and had an odd smell so I drained it immediately. That was about 8 bikes ago and 6 years ago. But honestly if you have any question about the oil then yes please do change the oil, it doesn’t take very much so it would be less than $10 in most cases. Thanks for the reply

Hi Mike, no particular reason, I like the RK made in Japan chains, I’ve always had good luck with them. It’s relatively inexpensive and if you’re going 70mph down the highway you want to make sure you have a good chain. The stock chain might be good but I didn’t have it on long. It’s pretty cheap insurance

She appreciates it, yeah that’s for sure 😂

I believe that it is and I will be doing all of my own maintenance on it.

She said Thank you very much!

Couldn’t do that 😁 she did good 👍🏻

@@herbiesgarage681 yes she did! She was taking control of that scooter! She’ll be riding with you in no time!

@@FirstNationsPisces I think so too, thanks

Thanks Jerry, yeah she’s a quick learner, must be the good teaching she has 😂

@@herbiesgarage681 sure! If you say so. 😂

@@JerryHawk250 😂

😂 she’s definitely liking it, she wants to practice again tomorrow 😁

Maybe someday I’ll learn 😂

You can always make your own video. This is exactly what I wanted to see.

@@sockymcblackface7698 I’ll see what I can do 😊

@herbiesgarage681 Thanks for the video. Helps the research.

@@sockymcblackface7698 your welcome, wished it could be better, I’m getting kinda old and don’t heal as quickly 😂
