Lifan Xpect Review
I wrote this for people like me who prefer to read instead of watching a video. I also am quite new to youtube and feel as if a jumped around quite a bit so I figured this can cover somethings I missed and just overall compile everything I think of the xpect in an easy to read list. As always any questions feel free to ask I am happy to help! :)
The Good
-Price
Obviously if you are looking into this bike it is because the price attracted you. In my opinion it is well worth the price even with the recent increases due to inflation
-Reliability
If properly maintained this is a very reliable bike. Me and many other owners can attest to putting these bikes through a lot and handling pretty much anything we throw at it.
-Comfort
This can be somewhat subjective but I think this is a very comfortable bike. I can ride it for hours and not really feel rushed to get off of it. The seat can get a bit uncomfortable after a while but a cheap cushion can easily solve that. Ofcourse weight and height can be a factor on this.
-Easy To Work On
This bike is very easy to work on. I can have this entire thing torn down in about an hour. Most general maintenance can be done pretty quickly and the bolts seem to be good quality and do not strip easily.
-Light and Stable
It is very light and easy to maneuver. This makes it a perfect bike for a beginner or a good bike to run basic errands or to drive to work. However it is still pretty stable at higher speeds and it doesn't feel very light when cruising at 65
-Easy To Wheelie
If you want to learn wheelies then I think this is a good bike for it. It being lower power requires more skill to control but nonetheless a good bike to start learning on
-Easy To Ride
This is an amazing bike to learn how to ride on. If you are wanting to learn how to ride then I think this is a perfect bike. If you want something like a Grom or KP mini but don't want to ride a tiny bike then I think this is the perfect route. It is very light and cheap to fix so there isn't much risk if you drop it. It is overall just very easy to ride.
The Bad
-Chain
The stock chain is not great. It stretches pretty easily and in my situation rusted. This is an easy $30 fix
-Suspension
The suspension is completely sufficient on the street and doing some dirt road riding but if you want more comfort and to go on slightly more aggressive trails then the suspension will need upgraded. I have found that just replacing the stock rear shock and putting better fork oil in the front makes a big difference and is cheap (around $100 total)
-Braking
Stock braking isn't terrible but couple be better. When properly adjusted the rear brake is just fine but the front could use a better master cylinder. You could find something cheap or free like I did. I retro-fitted a master cylinder from a Buell blast and it made a massive difference.
-Valves
The valves need adjusted more often than other bikes. This can be challenging to people who have no mechanical experience but can also be a good opportunity to learn.
-Assembly from the box
Despite the typical assembly from the box everything listed above needs to also be checked when brand new. You also have to check every bolt to make sure it is tightened. Both of mine where all good but I have heard of people having quite a few loose bolts from the factory some of which being important.
Neutral
-Speed
This bike is not intended for the interstate so if that is what you are looking for then you need to look elsewhere. This is intended for riding like I have shown in this video and others. Cruising on country and city roads. With it being air cooled I would not recommend it for dense city riding.
-Cons
This could be considered good or neutral but all of the issues this bike has from the factory could be considered a good this because out of the box it is good enough but these mods could give you an opportunity how to work on motorcycles more. With it being easy to work on and cheap, it gives the owner an opportunity to learn how to work on a bike with pretty low risk and just how a bike functions in general.
-Limited Riding
This is not a dirt bike but not really a street bike. It is in the middle. It can't do jumps or insane trail riding but it can take you to a lot of places that you normally can't go to in a car.
-Mod ability
There is no direct mod support so you will have to rig up a lot of universal parts to work with this bike but it is not difficult and many owners such as myself share a lot of the mods that we got working on the bike.
