Thank you this video helped me tremendously, brought a KP 200(naked version) of KPR pretty much about a month ago and was wondering why it kept stalling on me and wouldn’t idle unless I’ve rode the bike for about 10-20 minutes adjusted the valves and the problem is fixed bike idles, I can stop at a light or stop sign without having to continuously rev the bike great video.
Hello Kenneth, that’s fantastic, I’m super glad to hear that!! Your welcome and I hope you have miles of smiles my friend.
Same issue..rode it for like 2 months. Till I finally found d someone ACROSS tx that would work on it
@@trizzled89 did you get it fixed then? Sometimes it could be something as simple as an idle adjustment. I did a video on that as well
@@herbiesgarage681 Would this valve adjustment video be applicable to the Lifan KPM 200?
@@Dabby724 yes it would, the KPM shares the same engine as the KPR
I am due for this service and cant find a shop that will do it for me. Thank you for this video i am going to tackle this my self soon.
You're welcome! It's an easy process just take your time, it's not a race, and you'll be proud of yourself when you're done. Doing your own maintenance is a good feeling as well as saving a few dollars for upgrades 😁
Great work on the video, very thorough.
Thank you Stone! I appreciate the support, thanks for watching
Very detailed instructions you are the best appreciate all your information
Hi Tanya, Thank You very much for the kind words!
I am using same model but 150cc can i keep same measurements of valve gap......you are a very good Teacher sir ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Rajib, it's best to follow your owner's manual for valve gap specs, if possible, with that said. I did a search on the Lifan KPR 150 and from what I read the best gap is 0.08mm on in and ex. Thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate that!!
about to do this procedure today already have over 3700 miles. Are there any other bolts that need torque specifications besides the front and rear axle nut? I'm going to make sure all the bolts are tightened
Hello Tac, it’s been a while. You’ve got more miles than I do 😁 I would check the exhaust nuts at the head. Front fork pinch bolts, usually torqued to 18 ft lbs. Check clip on pinch bolts for tight. Usually 18 ft lbs also.
for the intake valve I only have a 0.003 which is 0.0762mm will that be fine?
@@ThaCampinSniperz yes that’s good
This video was amazing thank you for your help
Thank you and your welcome!
@@herbiesgarage681 do you have any idea how to increase the idle on the bike?

Where are you located..im having problems with 2017 kpr200.. I wanna learn how to work on it a little.
Hello trizzled, close to St louis Mo.
Do you have your valves at the stock clearance still even after the exhaust change? .08 and.12?
Hello Eyboss, yes, the valve clearance is still at .08mm and .12mm after the exhaust change. And still running great! 👍
The intake valve is hard to get to, even with the gas tank off. I was thinking just removing the whole engine to Adjust valve. Is that excessive?
Yes, that would be excessive and unnecessary! 😁 The intake valve is hard to adjust, there just isn’t very much room but it can be done, just take your time and walk away if it gets frustrating and come back when you’re ready. It’ll get easier to do the more that you do it. But really I’ve noticed that the intake adjustment hasn’t changed much but the exhaust seems to tighten over time. Good luck, I know you will get it 👍🏻
@@herbiesgarage681 its been 9,000 miles I think im definitely way overdue. It doesn't like to Idle and doesn't start without roll starting it in first. Will adjustment fix this?
@@taylorbagnell22 Hard starting and idling issues is definitely a symptom of a valve adjustment problem. At 9k miles it is definitely time for a check and probably adjustment, good luck Taylor. It’s really not that hard to do, just a little time consuming but you’ll be proud of yourself when you’re done with it.
My kpr 200 will idle but as soon as I hit the throttle it stalls did this and still stalls did I do something wrong or am I looking at the wrong part?
Is there no torque spec for the valve locknut?
Hi Joshua, you could probably find a general torque range for the lock nut but I have been tightening by feel for many years on many different bikes and I have never had one come loose. If you are concerned about that then by all means tighten up with a torque value, if you can’t find one let me know and I’ll see what I can come up with
Can you Please Help me out to adjust the Throttle Position Sensor Adjustment
Honestly, I have never adjusted mine, never had any problems. If it is something that you feel that you really need then maybe I can play with mine and see what I can come up with. I'm always up for learning new things.
@herbiesgarage681 i heard that companies provide tps valu in mini volt like you put a multimeter in the tps connection and adjust according to the company provided voltage, but i cant find the voltage in any where.
@@4tbiker That’s interesting, I was thinking of just making adjustments until the throttle feels right, usually right off of idle is where you would feel the difference. I haven’t looked at the tps recently but I thought you could loosen the screws and just move it slightly until whatever issue you have clears up. Or do you suspect a bad tps and want to check the ohm readings for a bad one?
Hey Herbie, I have a 2017 kpr, do u think the valve clearance is the same?
Hello Steve, I would say your best bet is to look in your owner's manual as I'm not sure what year they changed the engine in the KPR. You can download a owner's manual if you don't have one.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hey I work at a shop where a customer disassembled his own top end on his kpr 200 and we are having trouble finding the correct timing. Are there any possibilities you could email a picture of your cam gear at top dead center. Any feedback would be appreciated
How soon would you need the pic?
@@herbiesgarage681 as soon as possible would be great UA-cam won't allow me to share my email for some reason but if you could share the timing somehow that would be amazing there is not very much information on these bikes
@@draytonader1735 I'll see what I can do
Hi Sir ! just need your little help i have lifan kpr 200 2017Model facing some issue after a ride of 5/6 mints my bikes automaticaly stops bcz engine turns offs by self .after a rest of 2/3 mints i am able to ride it again
Hello Saien, That sounds like an electrical issue, possibly an ignition switch failing, or kill switch intermittently failing. Those are the first two things I would look into if it were me but it's hard to diagnose a problem sight unseen. Good luck and keep me posted, I'll help more if I can.
@@herbiesgarage681 have you posted any video regarding this issue?
@@saiengaming7572 no I’m sorry that I haven’t. I have heard of another having a similar issue though. When it dies does all the lights go out on the dash like you turned the key off?
@@herbiesgarage681 No lights and meter remains on both didnt turned off.
@@saiengaming7572 What Rpm is your idle set at? Should be idling around 1500 rpm
Здравствуйте. Я с России и с удовольствием смотрю ваши ролики. У меня тоже kpr200.
Hello, and thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! I hope you like the KPR 200 as much as I do, it's a fun bike to ride and pretty cheap to operate. Take care 👍
