I have a post here that shows the swing arm travel. I have a feeling it sits a little higher the some other brands.

Interesting...... Maybe it's a Lifan thing. My Roketa doesn't require nearly that much slack, but I totally agree with the methodology suggested. I guess everyone should follow the above directions to get a baseline measurement for their own bike. For sure it sounds like the Lifans need a lot.
