Grandpa needs help

Just got a Lifan 250 cc from a friend but we don't know what model it is.
It's a 1995. First 3 vin numbers are: LF3. I think is a Delta model but not sure. Thanks in advance.

You are right, makenzie71. I will post a picture tomorrow (it's night now). Thanks, SpudRider for the welcome. I have a street bike, just trying to find out what it is. Picture tomorrow.

Hi Rudcar

Where are you located?

LF3 = Lifan.

This will tell the year for sure. What is the 10th digit in the VIN?

Ejcycles, I am in Homestead, FL. The 10 vin numbers are:
LF3PCN0G66
Originally in this forum I posted it was a 1995 Lifan. My mistake, it's a 2005.
I am trying to post a picture of the bike but I am a newbe and do not know how?

Actually, according to the VIN it's a 2006... (10th digit is the year code, 6=2006)

Hi Rudcar

That is a 2006 Lifan LF250. What manual do you need? If you want a service/repair manual you can get one at any Yamaha Dealer for a Route66, Virago 250, V-Star250. The Yamaha bikes are all the same. The Lifan uses over 90% the same parts... Hmmm... who makes the Yamaha??? LOL
