Great, concise video! I'm very impressed with the attention to detail on the Lifan engines. MOST small 125cc to 229cc only have the oil screens and no paper filter. A quart of oil is the cheapest possible insurance that your engine will outlive you! PS. Watch for the build series on my new KPM200 Scrambler!
Thank you! I’m impressed with Lifan also. Is your build series on UA-cam? If so put the link on here and I’ll be sure and watch
i have the lifan KP 200 same motor, thanks for the very complete guide to an oil change
Your welcome
As always, a great, detail video. 👍
Thank you Jerry
First! Love your content…. Love my KPM and look forward to your videos! You’re one of the best motorcycle channels on YT!
Thank you so much, I'm glad that you feel that way about my channel, I try to keep content coming but with a full time job it gets tough sometimes. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad you are loving your KPM because I am
loving mine too!! : )
When I get my kpm I’m going to be a expert on it after watching you’re videos lol love the videos and all you’re help you’ve given me and others
Thank you John, I’m sure you’ll enjoy your KPM, it’s such a nice bike
Did you say that car oil can cause effects on the engine? I didn't understand what you said, but since I put new oil in my bike, sometimes when it's cold or I shift to 1st gear too quickly, or if I'm not gentle enough with the clutch, it turns off the engine. Thanks for the videos! Really useful!
Yes, some car oil has friction modifiers added that is bad for motorcycle wet clutches and will make them slip. It’s a good idea to stay away from car oil in your motorcycle. You might need to adjust your clutch cable sounds like. Your welcome
Could you kindly tell me the grade oil used and type? Seriously considering getting this bike and I've studied your excellent videos and you do a nice job explaining everything... I didn't catch the correct oil to be used here, would've helped a world if we saw the bottle
I’m sorry about not showing the bottle, many people have strong beliefs on which is the best oil, I try and stay out of that debate. What I use is Rotella T4 15w40, yes it is a diesel oil but it is high in zinc which is an anti wear additive along with other things and it’s also Jaso Ma/Ma2 certified for wet clutch operation (motorcycles). But the oil is your choice what to use. You should strongly consider this bike because it’s a great value for the money. Lifan builds quality bikes and the KPM is so fun to ride, I look forward to riding it every time I can. Good luck with your decision, let venom know that Herbie sent you 😁
The factory in iran suggest's 10-50 oil for summer . Do you agree with it ?
I’ve not seen 10w50 here in the US, but it certainly would be fine for summer. The OEM recommendation is 10w40 but if you have extreme heat then yes 50w would probably be a good idea
How do you compare the durability between Lifan engines and other Japanese bike engines like Honda? How much of a difference do you think there is?
Hello, It is really difficult to do a direct comparison between the Japanese bikes and the Lifan bikes because there just isn't too many similar models, so anything I say will be purely speculation and my opinion. One that you can use is the Honda Grom versus the Lifan KP mini. Both are great bikes and both have great reliability. Those little bikes are usually run pretty hard and people report that the KP mini holds up well. I have seen on posts that the KP mini has thousands of miles with nothing more than regular maintenance. I can report that with the 3 Lifan bikes that I have that the quality seems to be really good and I haven't had any real issues with any of them. I had a small oil leak on my KPR that was repaired easily but that's it as far as any issues arising so far. Hope this helps
Did you know that the "Japanese" manufacturers no longer build most small engines? Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha along with Triumph and KTM all outsource engine production to Thailand, China, Phillipines, or India. Of course, ALL the manufacturers rely on China for their microchips, wiring harnesses, and other small components. The fact is, Chineese manufacturers like Lifan can afford to provide BETTER quality control (including dyno testing EVERY engine) than the "big brands".
@@thegreatoutthere Thanks for that information, I knew some but not all of that. I know Lifan has impressed me with quality to cost factors. Thank you for the comment 👍🏻
Does KPR have the same engine as KPM?
Yes it does
How much oil do you pour into this bike I have that too.
The owners manual says 1.3 liters which is about 1.3 quarts also. But please use the sight glass too, it is your friend.
What oil ?
Owners manual states 10w40 motorcycle oil. The oil must say it’s JASO MA/MA2 certified oil. That is for wet clutch application which is what your motorcycle has. If it says it’s for motorcycle then most likely it’s good. I wouldn’t use synthetic until 500 miles minimum
Is it possible to take off the leather strap on the gas tank without damaging it?
I think that you can, although if a person was going to do that it would probably be best if it was done right away so that the sun fading won't show marks where the straps were. I actually thought about taking them off too but the more I own the bike the better that I like them, It sets the bike apart from others as this is something that you don't see very often. No cookie cutter here : )
You can, I did it but be aware that you'll have to change two or three screws or add a spacer because they are meant to get tight with the strap beneath them. If you tighten it too much you'll start to pop up the gas cover.
You have to remove both side covers and the side covers of the radiator. Is quick and easy.
@@TheChago14 thanks for your input 👍🏻
Hi bro . 1 litre oil or 1.3 litre ?
1.3L if you change the filter too, but always adjust by the sight glass. Over full is as bad as under full. And always check the sight glass with the bike level, not on the side stand
@@herbiesgarage681 near the full is the best place ?
@@Aoffmad yes, it should have oil filled in about 3/4 of the glass. That’s after you’ve run it and allowed it drain back down and with the bike level
@@herbiesgarage681 follow you from iran bro . Thx a lot .
@@Aoffmad awesome, it’s cool to see people from other countries watching, I appreciate your support very much, thank you my friend
