New to me 2006 Lifan GY2

I have determined that a majority of the "vibration" was caused by the rear disc brake locking up. Now it makes sense why the vibrations got progressively worse as I kept riding.

Although I have my KLR650, this little piece of crap is providing me with some real enjoyment!

Also, took all of the plastic crap off that surrounds the gas tank. That stuff serves absolutely no purpose and rattles like crazy. Added some new rubber bushings in places and some new bolts. The more I work on this thing the more I like it. The great thing is that it is completely old school except for the inverted front forks and the ridiculous "anti lock brakes". My goal is to get this thing in shape for a 500 mile day. I feel confident that it would be fine, I would need 12 hours for the ride though as I think the cruising speed is about 55 mph with the small sprocket on back.

Good times!
