I did the GG mod way back
The Gorilla Glue mod was my hairbrained idea a while back. I did it to my bike and it worked great. You DO NOT need to use/mix with water. Granted I have an 07 Lifan with the counterbalanced motor so...

Chain slack
I can also back up the 3inch of slack. My Lifan is the same way. Over 6k miles it's never come off. As soon as you sit on it it takes up most of the slack so it's not really a problem. I've adjusted...

gas leak
