Getting close to time to do a valve adjustment and oil screen cleaning on the mini. For some odd reason the oil screen on this bike is behind the clutch cover, cover has to be removed. I heard the valve cover is going to be a bear as well. Oh well, I like a challenge. :lmao:
|
I wonder if this is a better buy than the Papio from CFMoto

First Ride after upgrades

Herbie, I noticed on your website that you have about 8 or 9 vids on the KP Mini. How about a playlist for them?

Venom SS3 KP mini playlist
Good Idea Tom, Thank You
Here it is for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...bQcTIc83p2KBlQ |
The most recent edition of the EPA/DOT certification list for street-legal motorcycles in the US was released in May, and it (still--I think I posted this information on a separate thread) shows a 2024 Lifan KPMini S as being 50 state legal and the bike will have SFI rather than a carb. It lists the engine size as being 149.0 rather than the upgraded SS3's (upgraded from the original KPMini) 149.2cc engine. The transmission will still be a 5-speed.

Fuel injection would be a definite plus and I prefer efi anymore. But sometimes there is just something nostalgic about carburetors. Once you get them tuned right they run pretty flawlessly unless of course you live in an area that has nothing but ethanol gas and you leave your bike sit too long :hmm:

The KP150 claims 12.2hp/8000 RPM. Do you need EFI? That 6th gear? |

As far as a 6th...why not, but I doubt it would be a deal-breaker for most without it (it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me by any means). |
My 2024 SS3 wish list:
6th gear 175 or 200cc EFI If they did only two of the above, I totally could not help myself, I would have to have one. |

EFI, 200cc, and 5 speed with some great gearing… that would be fantastic. And not difficult to do… even 250cc.
A US importer could probably order up something like this - American motorcycle licenses are for all-size bikes, when other countries can have classes (eg 50cc and under, 50-125cc, 400c and under, unlimited, etc) A 125 or 150cc version, and a 250cc version? That’s be awesome… especially if they can figure out not just parts but aftermarket. |

That was just a picture taken by the marina at the lake. I’ve taken it down some dirt roads and rock roads, it does pretty good on those, dirt more so than rocks. I do plan on taking it trail riding when I can. Unfortunately the trails here are just for walking, no bikes or vehicles. My daughter and her husband have a membership at an exclusive off road park so I’ll be able to take it there soon I hope.

Herbie, what's that little pack you have on the rear seat?
