      @@Monomoybikes1335 Hello, it would be a good starter bike but it is kind of tall and at 5’2” you would probably be on your tip toes or balls of your feet. It is smaller than a Japanese 125cc bike and probably easier to ride because it only has 8.5 hp and is pretty forgiving. I think if you’re comfortable on the balls of your feet then it would make a good starter bike. I did lower mine for my grandson to ride simply by lower the front forks in the triple tree clamps and buying a shorter rear shock.

    I’d check to see if my older brother put sugar or flour in the tank or bb’s into the carburetor. Next I’d check to see if my older brother cut the fuel line. Then I’d check to see if my older brother drained the oil out of the crank case and threw away the oil drain plug. Then I’d check to see if my older brother slashed the tires or cut the brake cables. Can’t be too paranoid with an older brother like mine.

      Hello, you’re welcome! Yes it should be an easy fix. A couple of questions, did you happen to hit anything or drop the bike? Are you sure the handlebars are straight? If everything is good but your off on your alignment, then you can support the front end so it doesn’t drop then loosen your fork clamps on your triple tree then turn your handlebars while holding the front wheel steady until they align then retighten the clamps on the fork tubes. Just make sure that you support the front end when you make the adjustment because it will drop if you don’t.

    When I lived in South Korea back in 2005-2006 Lifan was a popular brand there. Always wanted to try one so imagine how excited I was when I saw this bike pop up on my radar in Canada no less. I see several similarities to the Kawasaki KLX 300. That being said, none of those bikes are worth the $9500 OTD I have been quoted imho. Thus, I’ll definitely be picking one of these up this summer. Great value for money and it just goes to show you that we are paying for the name on the tank more so than the bike itself. Happy Trails! 😊

      @@chrishall8203 Thank you Chris, I hope you’re enjoying your new bike! The analyzer has both in car and out of car features. I’m not sure if it has that for motorcycles or not but honestly I don’t think it’s going to make that much difference either way. The KPX doesn’t have anti theft or other parasitic draws while at rest, modern cars and trucks have more parasitic draws at rest especially soon after shutting off the vehicle that’s why they give you the option of testing in or out on cars. On the KPX it shouldn’t matter either way.

      @herbiesgarage681 it's actually common knowledge, there's a couple of reasons why you mount from the right hand side. Number one if you lose balance and fall into the bike, the side stand supports the bike and you from falling over. Number two, if you lose your balance and fall getting on or getting off from the left side you run the risk of falling out into traffic. That's why all police departments train motor officers to mount and dismount from the right hand side. It's for safety, and it's mandatory. If you have a hard time clearing your leg over a tall bike, you can step up onto the side peg and swing your leg over.
