- How-to and quick test on these 3 cheap & simple mods for your new KP Mini EFI.
PLEASE NOTE that these are NOT engine performance mods, but what differences can they make?
Does it yield a higher Top Speed?
Our "All Stock" Top Speed was 64mph. What can we get from this?
**Please make sure to adjust chain/wheel alignment/brake caliper fitment properly when doing these modifications, or you may be seriously injured or can be fatal. If you are not sure what you are doing, have a professional do it for you!**

Love your content and excellent narration! Please keep the KP Mini EFI content coming as there isn’t much out there on UA-cam land…. Keep up the Great Work!!!!
Hey man I appreciate it. I'll be doing more videos on the little bike soon! Glad you enjoyed!!
@@anythinggarage Absolutely! There is a big unserved niche in riding moto vlogs talking about the bike and the ride…. We get to feel like we ride along!
Lol I felt myself tucking when you were going for that top speed
Just to clarify, ONLY increase the front sprocket to gain more speed. If you need more torque (offroad with knobby tires, hill climbing, heavy loads), then decrease the teeth on the front sprocket. The stock size is the happy medium.
Yes exactly! Everything you said.
And vice versa for the rear sprocket. The bigger you go on the rear the lower the top speed. If you go for a smaller rear gear, the higher the speed.
It's easier doing the front sprocket as well.
@anythinggarage and what does doing less teeth on rear sprocket or smaller? People say more low end speed or low end torque
You need more subs dude...thanks for your coverage of the best grom clone!
cant wait to see how much HP you pick up with some easy mods like maybe modding the intake restrictor plate, maybe a K&N air filter if they make one for this bike and an exhaust system. Looking forward to more videos homie
Intake and exhaust on such a small Cc would gain maybe 1-2hp and that's if you're lucky.
@@repnatlthat matters at 230lbs no?
Chain and plug are ok, however look how far your wheel went back on the swingarm. When I exchange external drive gears this way, I always keep the original chain length and specifications by using a -1 front and +1 rear or a +1 front and -1 in back. This way you just put the chain back on and it fits back to the original location, not shorter or longer...
The reason it is far back is because I'm using a 108 link chain instead of the stock 106 link number.
You can usually only use stock link number or only 2 more up. I still have good adjustability left. Only got the 108 because I went with a bigger front sprocket. 106 should be fine.
Either way, make sure everything sits good whatever way you do it
I'm looking to buy the same bike and know the rpm will be higher than what I like. I don't race around or carry passengers and live in Florida where there are no hills or mountains. I also like getting better mileage and a less jerky ride, so I go +1 front and -1 rear. I had the original formula on how to crudely calculate how the rpm would change, relatively simple, I forgot the formula! Does the bike feel ok? I'm always worried about Chinese motorcycles, however Lifan has been used in actual Honda bikes all over the world...
@umaxen0048 it's a really good bike. Feels of good quality. Nothing like the grom clone vaders or the likes.
It gets up and goes, even with a passenger I ride fine, for what it is.
With this front sprocket, I feel like it is at a good spot. I can't redline it in 5th but still managed a 68mph top speed with a KO Lightning exhaust at full squat 🤷🏻♂️
If you can , maybe do a top speed run with a windscreen ?
Do you have anymore riding videos of this bike,Id like to see more on how well it is after break in period
New top speed is 66 mph, and the rider's weight at the time of the test was what?
@JeffBassir-lo6zj on the first video I mention it. Around 187lbs or so
Just a heads up but you should have gotten the NGK CPR8EA-9 spark plug instead
The one you got will work but will run hotter and cause more deposit build up quicker. This one will run cooler, less deposit build up and is the one recommended in your manual.
I'll try that one out thanks a bunch!
@@anythinggarage No problem. I just got this bike too and can't wait to get some riding in. I appreciate your vids. I just found the iridium spark plug upgrade and will try it out too. It's the NGK CR8EIX 4218
Tire is all the way back. Should have pushed it forward and removed another link. When the chain screeches you will be out of adjustment.
Hey, thanks for that! Doesn't look like it, but it does have a ways to go! Gold chains usually dont stretch nearly as much as non gold, though, so hopefully, it's good for a some thousands of miles.
I got 108 because the bigger front sprocket.
If you're gonna cut the chain shorter, make sure to remove 2 links. You can not just cut one link off as you will have one "outer" and "inner" link, which won't work with the "outer" master link.
Thanks for watching!
A lot easier to just remove the shift lever than all the plastics and stuff to get to the rear sprocket. It's literally one bolt lol.
Also moving the chain tensioner forward and removing a link would have been the move, cause now you have no room to adjust when it stretches..
Been messing with my gearing recently and went back to a 15 in the front and up to a 39 in the rear. Tops out at the same speed just a lot faster and revs higher. 5th gear doesn't feel useless lol.
Good to know. And I thought I did it the easy way! 😅
@codyfoster635 I would have to remove 2 links. Chains can only run even numbers cause only one can link to the other. There is plenty of room for tightening, though!
@codyfoster635 Woah that's like going down to a 14 on the front isn't it? That's too low for my personal use and revs too high for my taste. To each their own ☺️
Jamie, should I get this bike or Husqvarna 401 svartpilen for both road and dirt travel? One is low, the other his high. The latter is 2x the price of the lifan.
Good info. Where did you order your sprocket and chain brother
Hey thank you very much! Links are on description!
How much torque did you loose in 1 and 2nd switching to the 16? Does the bike still power wheely?
I never wheelied on this bike. Im Sure you MIGHT be able to still do it. I did lose some torque, but the way I ride it I didn't notice much at all other than it being much more useful for city riding
Nice work and explanation. Wish you would've kept the 15 on there and give it a run, then switch to the 16. Also got a link to that lift you're using?
Sure thing take a look at description.
And thanks! I'm thinking of giving it a try and making a short. With this gearing, 5th gear is for sure an overdrive.
Should have taken another link out!
You can't run with odd number links. They have be even number amount of links. You can usually only go up 2 on most motorcycles. But not 2 down.
How's the MPG doing?
Good professional video right here.
How come you never shifted into 5th gear? 12:56
Will all this work for a kp mini 150 ss3?
@papateeks6405 Yes absolutely!
So the new spark plug brings rpm lower?
No, the new 16 tooth sprocket changes the gearing therefor making the rpms lower and gears longer.
0-60 in 5 miles. Not bad
Not too bad!!
niche is pronounced neesshh quickly!
@CuttinInIdaho I know I pronounced it wrong so many times haha
That’s not how you install a chain. You have no room to move the axle back……
I understand this. It's 2 links more than it should be. I can cut them off and I can still adjust
You need to tuck as low as possible
I definately was to the point I couldn't see the road. My camera had a grear angle though!
where did you buy it? Cant find any where online
What exactly were ypu looking for?
@@anythinggarage a reputable place to buy one of those, all the websites look sketchy
So much wrong with this video. Chain is too long. You lifted the bike improperly and the master link is installed backwards
Hey thanks for watching!
•First, the chain is perfect length.
•Second, skip to 4:30 concerning the bike being lifted improperly.
•Third, the link is on correctly!
Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!
Dude that poor bike and chain. Just drop a link and silde the master in jeezus fucking christ
@tyronesharp8115 tension is where it needs to be. You got to drop 2 links to even numbers. The only difference here is the wheel is slightly more back than normal. We are talking about an inch or so. This happens anyway when your current chain stretches so much you're constantly adjusting tension tightening more and more.
This bike is fine in it's current state but will need to be cut soon.
@anythinggarage lmfao tell everyone here you don't know shit without saying it. His tensioner is maxed out but then he proceeds to talk about the chain stretching. You drop 2 links slide tire all the way forward as chain stretches you use the tensioner. If I have to explain that you shouldn't own a bike
@tyronesharp8115 the tensioner is definitely not maxed out my man
@@anythinggarage that last little line on the hole for the axle bolt means it's maxed out smfh
@tyronesharp8115 why are you getting all hyped up about? It is not maxed out. I'm the one who installed it. It definitely has more space left for sure, it's nothing to write about my man.
