Really digging the color looks like they did a good job on the paint. Really like we're they put the tack at.

This bike seems to have gathered the best of old school and new school at a very affordable price.

love the look, but please replace that exhaust!

i agree, but will have to be later on. capped out in the pocket book.
i dont know squat about fuel injection, so i am a bit cautious about changing exhaust and not mess up the computer efi. if engineered properly it should self adjust but no one has actually done it yet on this generation 2 motor. wish they have so i would know 100% no issues

**JerryHawk250** · 02-20-2020, 12:44 PM

The ECU will adjust to the changes in the exhaust.

automatically or is there a boot sequence restart ecu thingy?
i am extremely cautious here on changing any intake or exhaust on fi, but i will ride it stock for a while.
and this second gen motor have some sort of turbocharging on it?

The ECU will maintain the proper Air/Fuel ratio. So if the engine can flow more air the ECU will supply more fuel. The only time you would need to program the ECU is if you want to richen up the fuel mixture above what the ECU is programed for or if you wanted to adjust and increase the timing. Now if you add something like a turbo then you would definitely would have to reprogram the ECU. FI doesn't like a lot of timing and would also have to increase the fuel injector size which would need to be reprogramed for. There are performance chips that can increase fuel mixture.

that's pretty sweet lookin!

in case you are missing the bolts to allow you to clamp the mirrors on, here you go:
you will need x2 8mm-1.25 x 50 mm bolts.

i will mount them tonight, did you even miss them in the pics so far?

imapdog · 02-21-2020, 09:09 PM

the holes werent matching up so i drilled new ones at 2 1/4" apart to fit on existing bolts from removing the fender. the bolts are attached to metal and is sturdy enough to support a plate hanger.
$8 plate mount:

$6 lights and bolts for holding the plate on the mount all in one. i love these and have used them many times:

and rubber inserts to fill the holes where the other location for mirrors would be used. nice touch lifan, those holes were hideous. again took me a while to find out where they went....
btw when i hooked up the battery i noticed the headlights dont come on automatically nor with the high beam switch the passing flasher button did make them turn on. i assume the headlights only turn on when it is started and wont know until tomorrow.
