Great video as always! Only thing I would do different is flip the Stop/Run switch to the stop position and hit the starter a few times to get some oil to the top end before starting the engine. I was glad to see that oil screen was relatively clean as I completely forgot to check mine when I changed the oil on my KPM 200. Good choice of oil also; I run that in all my bikes from the SOHC CB750 to the CB900F and now the KPM. One note to other viewers, make sure your bike is upright when checking the oil level and not on the side stand, otherwise you will overfill it. Thanks for taking the time to make yet another informative video, Herbie!
Thank you Jason, I will add keeping your bike upright and level in the description when checking and adding oil, and thank you for the helpful comments 👍
I love this bike.i got a one in IRAN recently and your videos is sooo usefull for me. Thanks 🙏
Thank You Alireza! I'm super happy that the videos are helpful, thank you for watching and commenting!
Nice, great to know.
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and very fast jajaaj
Your welcome Zeta! Glad to help 😊
Love your Lifan Content! What is the diameter of the oil drain plug crush washer and perhaps an Amazon link on where to get it. Keep up the great work on KPR/KPM content…. Your videos are an invaluable resource!
Thank you very much!! I posted the link in the video description but here is the link, Thanks for bringing this to my attention Amazon amzn.to/3tqCuE0
oil filter cover bolts 7 ft. lbs
oil drain bolt 18 ft.lbs
Thanks for the info Jett, I appreciate it
Do you recommend changing the filter and cleaning the screen during every oil change or is this overkill?
If your screen has anything on it when you clean it, then I would clean it at every oil change until it stays clean otherwise just every so often would be sufficient. I will clean my screen once a year. Thanks for watching
Hi…JH would like to know a lot more about this make of bike, I’m guessing you’re using it more as a commuter bike and your Goldwing as your cruiser. I’m looking at the Suzuki Bergman or the Honda Forza as a smaller commuter than using my GW.
This bike is a KPR 200, made by Lifan, a Chinese power sports company that builds pretty good quality products. You can view the KPR as well as other bikes at venommotorsportsusa.com It comes in a crate delivered to your door ready for final assembly and prep. Yes I use it as a commuter bike as well as a lightweight fun bike just to enjoy riding around.
@@herbiesgarage681 nice … Chinese are starting to improve some of these smaller commuter machines. Don’t think I’d trust em on anything for a road trip yet.
@@Mr.Innovator961 yeah I was skeptical myself! But this is my second Chinese motorcycle and after riding several thousand miles, my opinion has changed and I believe the quality, at least of the KPR is pretty close to Japanese bikes. Chinese bikes have all different levels of quality, some are not so good and some are excellent. I would put the KPR in the excellent category, especially for the price
@@herbiesgarage681 excellent… I guess parts and service are the only concern, I’ve been hearing 2-3 months wait times on some of these E-bikes
@@Mr.Innovator961 Actually venom motorsports has or can get all the replacement parts you may need. There are even some aftermarket parts available for the bike as well. Venommotorsportsusa.com has some ebikes and I don't think they have a long wait time. If it shows it's available on their site then 8-10 days for delivery is normal time.
Hey , I want to replace my clutch , how do I take the darn casing off ??? I took alll the bolts out and it won’t budge !
Hello Radio Raj, I have not taken the clutch housing cover off before, but I just looked at mine and it looks like you have 11 bolts around the housing and 4 bolts for the water pump housing 2 of which look like they go all the through the clutch cover. If you have all those bolts out I would think it's just gasket sealer holding it on. A little bit of careful light prying around it should break it free I would think. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, fortunately my bike has been super reliable so far. Good luck with it, let me know if you come across something that might help others and I'll pass it on.
Hi, do you know where I can get a new oil cap for my KPR 200? Mine is stripped and I would rather replace it than continue using it.
Hello, I measured mine and it measures 19.5mm on the threads. I'll see if I can help you find one when I get time but if you want to search you can use that measurement or find a KPR specific one, good luck with it.
Hi, did you drain the shipping oil prior to the very first start up when you first got it, or did you let it warm up before draining, refilling, and breaking in?
Hello, it seems as though Lifan ships pretty decent oil in the engine. I leave the oil that was shipped in the bike to use for the first idling heat cycle then I drain it out. I run two idling heats cycles before riding the bike, and then I take it out to seat the rings.
@@herbiesgarage681 Thanks. One more question: I'm awaiting the delivery of my kpm200 and upgrade, aftermarket parts. Does it matter whether or not I break it in with everything stock?
@@msavage138 depending on what upgrades you’re talking about but if it was me I would break the engine in stock first then do the upgrades,
@@herbiesgarage681 I sorta figured that much. All I'm doing is a new exhaust, new 17t front sprocket, removing snorkel, and two K+N filters.
@@msavage138 I understood everything except the 2 k and n filters. What’s those for? Are you removing the air box?
is gear oil different than engine oil? It says in the manual change at 6,000 km.. And it says change the filter at 5000 km but I might just start changing it every oil change it makes sense
Yes gear oil has a higher viscosity meaning it’s a thicker oil and has different properties to it, don’t use gear oil in the engine that wouldn’t be good. As far as change intervals, these engines have small capacity on engine oil so the chances of the oil breaking down is greater. Changing it more often than the manual says will be beneficial because of the small capacity, besides that it doesn’t cost very much to do. Thanks for the question Tac
@@herbiesgarage681 If you can make a video in the future on gear oil change that would be great
@@ThaCampinSniperz Hello Tac, the KPR doesn’t use gear oil unless you like to lubricate your chain with it. Gear oil is used on shaft drive motorcycles like my goldwing but the KPR has a chain drive therefore it doesn’t have a reservoir of oil that needs changed. Gear oil change shouldn’t have been included on the maintenance schedule in the owners manual for the KPR. Thanks for the question
@@herbiesgarage681 Okay that makes sense I was confused. What gas octane do you use I've been using 87 with no issues for 1600 miles so far but I hear people saying to use 93. what do you think?
@@ThaCampinSniperz I actually use both octanes, if you live in an area that has pure gas, use that and 87 is fine. If you’re like me where there isn’t any pure gas around you then I would still run 87 most of the time and an occasional 92 or 93. I have noticed when I run sustainable highway speeds that the higher octane seems to do better, Jmho
any chance of doing a coolant change on the KPR200? (haven't seen any on UA-cam.) Thanks!
Yeah, I could do that, it may be a little while before I can get to it though, but I’ll do it when I can
@@herbiesgarage681 that would be great (as your videos are pretty thorough). Thank you.
@@rret6885 your welcome
I just posted the coolant change video.
@@herbiesgarage681 I watched it this morning and BTW that was quick getting that video made! Thank you very much. Loved the video - so thorough. Will comment on the video 'at the video' so peeps know how good it is. Thanks again.
what's the socket size to open the nut to the screen?
I use a 15/16 but you can use a metric equivalent if you only have metric.
@@herbiesgarage681 ty!! last question, is the 15w 40 that much m0re noticeable, in terms of smoothness, than your average 10w 40 motorcycle oil?
@@Dabby724 your welcome! The diesel oil has more zinc in it which gives it better anti wear capabilities than standard motorcycle oil. Regular motorcycle oil is absolutely fine to use if you wanted to, this is just my preference. As far as 15/40 goes, unless you’re in a cold climate and you ride in it the 15 won’t matter. The main thing in most cases is the 40 which keeps viscosity in extreme heat and protects your engine. So 10/40 is fine 15/40 is fine also. Hope this helps
What size tool for the screen?
Hello Shadow, it's a 15/16 or 24mm
@@herbiesgarage681 thank you so much
@@Itzshadow47 Your welcome
How much engine oil needed?
Hello Rajib, You should fill to the full line, start the engine and let it settle and recheck and add if necessary. Always check the oil level with the bike sitting upright and level. The capacity is around 1.3 quarts, but you need to follow the above directions because you may drain less or more than someone else, so always adjust by your oil in the window and try to make it as close to the full mark as possible without over filling. Thanks for the question my friend
