Went for a longer ride today with a friend (he was on a 600 suzuki), to compare speedometer readings. Mine matched his +/- 1mph.
Total trip was 20 miles. Bike did great and RPMs seemed to be around 7500 at 60mph. (update katoranger) However At about mile 18 I noticed my TACH was not working, at mile 19 I noticed it was working again but was reading high. Upon turning the bike off the TACH needle stayed at 3000 rpm :( So I gently tapped the side of the TACH - needle fell off. Upon closer inspection the part of the needle that slides over the square "piece" that rotates was broken (half missing). :( |

It sounds to me like you have a gray market seat. That is a shame because those seats are nowhere near as comfortable as the ones bearing the Lifan name.
The sooner these gray market seats are off our bikes, the better!!! psst ~ I'm just kidding! |

On the way home yesterday I inadvertently got the bike over 60MPH on a downhill stretch and the front wheel started (i don't want to say wobble so) to get a little "squirrely".
I have checked and tightened the spokes. Any thought? |

It may just be the tires. Also make sure you have the correct tire pressure.

I had a difficult time getting the stock front tire to seat in the propper location on the rim. Had a spot on the tire thad rode a little lower in the rim. But my problem was more of a hop than a wobble.

Exhaust Prob
Going over the bike tonight and noticed 1 minor problem and 1 major one.
Minor: upper left side of air box has a hole with metal insert for mounting but there is no place to mount it, as in no hole for a bolt to be used in ?? Major: I had noticed some black stuff on the right side of the starter before but had attributed it to chain lube "spraying" off. However, tonight I noticed the clamp around the muffler where the 2 sections meet was a little loose so I tightened it up, started the bike and poof, there is exhaust shooting out. It is shooting out right at the motor and starter. How can one fix this??

I am using it to commute. 10 miles, 2 lane road, 55 most of the time with 2 stop lights.
Any thoughts would be great. |
