    Hello good sir
    Your videos have been a blessing for me. There isn't much useful information about lifan bikes out there on the internet and you are here doing all the informing that lifan must have done.
    I have done everything on my 2023 kpr 200 based on your videos.
    it is really fun working on bikes.

    I've had my KPV150 for 4 months (600 miles) and I love it. So glad to have some English vids to learn more about it! Thank you so much. I will soon have to change the lube in the rear wheel hub gear box - any chance you might consider a lesson on that?

As cons: no temp info on display even if LC, but you have OBD2 port and adaptor provided by vendor. Space under the seat is small - no place for helmet , but it comes with top case ADV style. Lack of space is because of the rear shock placement. Another con si paint. Mine is red and only painted on on side. Paint feels kind of tin.

And the also the tps is reading 0.68 on idle 4.5 on max throtte. Im suspecting the fuel pump because it has whinning sound since day 1 the sounds is like a whistle but in a lower pitch.

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  Місяць тому

      @ A lot of things can affect gas mileage. The weight of the rider, how fast you normally ride, tire pressure etc. The more resistance the bike has to push the more power it requires from the engine. 70mpg is a little low but I wouldn’t think you have a mechanical problem especially if it still starts good and runs good. Also, if the engine isn’t fully broken in then give it a little time, if it is fully broken in I would check anything that would affect rolling resistance including a dragging brake. Good luck my friend
