Hey dude.. love your blog. It was verified with a GPS I have set up for the bike.

@@donp1616 Thanks! For some reason the odometers on a lot of scooters are never accurate.

I'm a big fan of the Bet &Win. Fairly rare around my area though.

@@donp1616 I think it’s rarity extends everywhere, but that makes it more impressive when it’s spotted.

It was a little surreal in some spots but a cool change.

@@donp1616 as long as it’s not too dangerous, it adds more ‘amazing’ to the ride.

Did that one on a CSC SG250. Cam was in a shroud and just sounded bad.. gotta start overdubbing some music on new vids.

@@donp1616 Can’t imagine there isn’t a single motovlogger who hasn’t had sound problems. Fortunately, there are a lot of fixes like dubbing or sound mixes.

It was an adventure. The first time it took me several hours just deciding what panels to remove and how they came off. After that its a couple hours if I work methodically but I take my time on most things.

No idea.. I bought mine fully assembled.. Lifan is no help for me so far. I assume that front axle is 50 to 60 lbft but it's a guess based on viewing the service manual for a KPX250. Lifan lists front axle torque as (Front axle: M14×1.5, tightening torque: 80±3N·m). I'm nearing 8000 Lifan miles and I need to change tires. The rear torque is the number I'm really interested in.

Ive had no issues with mine. My biggest frustration is that the speedo and odo are fast by about 16%. I have about 7200 miles on mine (which is actually a little over 6200).

Speedo and Odo is always off in chinese scooters/bikes.

You are correct.. I just didn't expect it to be that far off.

No.. my gas gauge never flashes when full, only when i get down to the last bar of fuel. My top segment, however, stopped working so I just have the 4 bars. I've ridden two up, just back of 400lbs for short distance ( half a mile or so) but i not sure of the weight capacity.

Where did you find a rear rack? I'll be ordering one from aliexpress as i cant find one anywhere else.

@@donp1616 AliExpress. I got the black one, kind of wish I would have got the silver one that matches the factory grab bars. But is what it is. You have to drill the hole into the bike for the support which you have to do no matter which bracket you get.

Sure. www.amazon.com/Badass-Moto-Motorcycle-Seat-Cushion/dp/B09T9BT77G/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1WZWA3HN2GM5F&keywords=badass+moto+seat+cus

Hello, Still have the KPV and it's still running well. Currently at a little over 7k miles, which translates into just over 5800 actual miles. No mechanical issues yet.. tires are showing wear.

​Thank you Sir!

Have a kp mini 150 at 10k miles now never stopped on me and I wrecked 2 times lol 😂 she’s still going plan to get 20k plus on her

@@genesismotorcyclegod Sweet!

American Lifan is no help with owners manual / shop manual.. they've repeatedly told me to refer to the dealer for service.. my dealer, however, is 200 miles away. I've done a couple of valve adjustments and there were no big surprises. Next hurdle is removing wheels to replace tires and replacing the drive belt. I used conventional Rotella (recommended to facilitate break in) 15/40 at the first oil change and have used Rotella full synthetic since 15/40 at all other changes.. I usually go about 1500 miles. I usually use mid grade gas, with premium on occasion.. compression ratio in this engine is 10.7/1 so I don't worry with premium at every fuel up.

Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated!

@greenleaf2233.. the w/s is connected to a substantial metal frame but likely not to the scooter frame itself. I have a larger aftermarket w/s and it holds that pretty steady.. I would think it possible to craft a front carrier of some sort.

@greenleaf2233.. all of the US spec KPVs (as far as I know) arrived with no auto start/stop or ABS. I can't see that the auto start/stop would save much fuel on a 150cc scooter but i would like to have ABS.

Yeah, it must not be us. I found a video where it does have a switch to turn it off/on though. But thanks for the answer@@donp1616

We only get one version of the KPV in the US.. I'm not familiar with any racing edition. Southeast Asia gets a few different versions and the one that is blue and yellow on a white base is the Queens version I think. This scoot has a 150 cc engine with exactly the same bore/stroke as the Honda ADV150 though it produces less horsepower.. the Lifan has 12.1 and the Honda has over 14. So far, handles well, gets about 85 mpg, does about 61 mph and starts every time I want to go riding.

On this outing, there are several Honda ADV 150s and a 160 in varying states of broken innedness (lol). I have not yet had and issue keeping pace with the Hondas up to about 60 regardless of terrain. It seems like the Honda is has a little longer legs (most people report mid 60s).

Chris, I currently have 6400 miles on the odometer which translates into just over 5500 actual miles. Reliability has been no issue.. I have done two valve adjustments (which is normal maintenence) and run through a lot of tanks of gas. Only negative issue (other that Lifan America providing no factory support, only dealer) is a dismally inaccurate speedometer/odometer and what looks like a fuel level sender going bad (will no longer register full fuel on the gauge).

As you know, most shops do not want to work on Chinese bikes so a lot of work is done by owner. American Lifan will not provide information or shop manual link for the KPV, telling me that information is 'dealer only'. I'll figure out the wheel removal for tire replacement but I DO NOT / CANNOT recommend Lifan products at this point.

Thanks! Yeah, it was really a enjoyable ride even though the speed was much slower that we had been riding. The fog really made it seem cold.

Thanks! I have about 25 minutes of video from the day but this snip pretty accurately depicts turns and traffic.

Cool, thanks!

No idea.. I don't have one that fits.. I'd be surprised it a skull cap would fit. The monoshock severely limits space for hard items. The area is about 9.5" wide, about 7" long but only about 7" deep and that space is broken by the shock.

@@noplaylists3318 can you fit your gloves inside of your helmet?

@@donp1616 does the bike have a helmet peg to hook the d-ring chin strap on it and lock it to the scooter?

@@ScooterwolfsMotovlog ..no helmet hook. That other glove though, will fit in the left dash cubby!

@@donp1616 as long as nothing is left behind, it’s all good.

There are some long uphills on that route.. with the cam angle it's not obvious. There are thousands of great roads in East TN and Western NC with amazing curves and very little traffic.

Thanks!

My apologies, I just saw this post! I have since sold this bike. That SG speedo reads fast.. actual on this run was about 62 mph. I changed the crankshaft sprocket after this and the bike was good for an honest 65 mph.

Not even close.. speedometer is 7 to 8 mph fast in the 45 to 60 mph range. Odometer is off a fair amount as well but I haven't measured it yet.

@@donp1616 Thanks for the info. I have not checked the speedometer yet, but I am ok with 7-8 MPH (+) its the odometer I am more concern with. I have ask AGB Sumo (RUclips blogger) that also have a KPV 150, and his odometer reading is good per his reply to me.

Did some calculations and my odometer is off by about 17%.

No.. there's actually no parking brake at all. The red switch is for emergency flashers.

Can this bike survive on the highway like can it move good enough to be on the highway with?

Not absolutely sure but I feel like 80 to 85% of top speed is pretty safe.. so 50 to 52 or so 55 if probablyisnt out of the question.

Thanks! Eastern Tennessee/western Carolinas have some amazing motorcycle riding roads.

Busted.. im actually on a small displacement China bike. My cam is in a housing that i think messes with the acoustics because it never sounds like that when im riding it.

@@donp1616 Yep, ya have to move a mic to a different location for good sound. I'm learning to video and have had the same problem. But you can always edit and replace with some music from RUclipss archived tunes.
