Yet another no call, no show delivery appointment. I called TFF Friday to schedule yet another appointment and was assured a delivery date of 12/25 from 10 tom12. I even called early this morning to verify and was told "rest assured your shipment will be delivered today between 10 and 12." NOT!


Rant over for now.

Vitacchi Clash 200 Scooter

I'm enjoying my scooter so far. It is smooth and quiet and fires right up on a cold start.


I have replaced the Variator weights with 14 gram Dr pulley sliders and replaced the chino gates belt with a Bando brand. What a difference no more slipping on acceleration.



Does anyone have the speedo calibration procedure? Also I get a check engine light after riding over 55mph for over a few minutes anyone else? Still runs fine and light goes off after a while. Sometimes I get a misfire at certain throttle positions around mid and full. I did replace the plug with a NGK but no difference.



Where do Clash 200 owners get service and technical information for these bikes?

Any info would help greatly!

Don't know yet where to get tech info but I expect it will be available as more scooters are equipped with EFI.



Mine has never misfired and the check engine light hasn't come on.



Haven't yet taken the time to see if the speedo can be calibrated but did hold in one of the buttons while turning on the ignition and found another screen that may have been for adjustments. Will fiddle with it when I have time.

I'm in California and I have a 2021 model GT1. Probably has different EFI ecm software. I may have figured out the check engine light and misfire issue. Still doing run check and so far no issues.

I've gotten over 3,000 miles on mine but, this scooter is hard to work on because of how it's designed.

Got one of these for my wife.. 90 miles on it so far, changed the gear and engine oil on day one.. one minor issue was when she was riding (she is learning btw) i told her to stay under 40.. traffic got to her and hit 50.. she heard a burst of air and then the check engine light came on.. she pulled over, i also did to look the bike over for leaks or loose hose.. everything looked fine.. peeked at the gauges again and the check engine light was off...

shrugged it off as " She popped the scooters cherry".. thoughts ?

Sounds almost like something emissions wise may have popped off. Sometimes, the crank case vent will be covered during shipping to prevent oil leaks. That could be the culprit.

This is very possible. I forgot which bike it was but on that bike the vent line was folded over and zip tied from the factory.

The line with the plug is there to collect any oil or moisture from the air box into the tube where you can see it. When you see liquid in the tube, pull the plug and drain it.

All the Lifan engines I've purchased were shipped that way, and according to the engine numbers listed on the web page that is a Lifan engine.

Then I guess that’s what happened. Lol. Rode it today another 5 miles and she did fine.

May I ask the differences between a Lifan gy6 and a reg gy6 ?

Also since these are gfi, does that mean adding a better flowing air filter or exhaust requires no other adjustments

Lifan is just one of many manufacturers making the GY6 engines and their probably isn't much difference between them. I've had great service out of Lifan motorcycle engines so I expect these to be good quality.

The scooter arrived today in an unbelievably mangled crate. Fortunately nothing was broken, just some paint scrapes and a bent center stand. We got it set up and oil changed, filled it with gas and it fired right up. Took a short test drive and all is well, seems pretty peppy. Will do a review after getting it plated.
