Hi,
I have a 200 dirt bike that is a copy of the Honda CRF100 for my son and a 150 ATV Manual trans. for my daughter and both of these Zongshen engines start and run flawlessly. This is my first year running these units so I can't speak for longevity. The 200 engine in my Lifan enduro is identical to the dirt bike aside from the Lifan is a 163-FML and the Zong is a 167-FML engine. Its possible this particular Lifan engine is also make by Zongshen.

sounds good... keep them coming!

Zongshen engine / tranny in my Roketa. Bulletproof and smoother then the Lifans. No tranny trouble like the Lifans have either.

Whats this tranny trouble you keep mentioning? What should we be looking out for?

Several Lifan owners, our Moderator Frostbite included, have had Lifan trannies crap the bed. Not sure how widespread a problem it is, but it seems to effect the Lifans primarily.

so if you had to reccomend a dual sport bike based on your expierence what would you say? What have you've ridden?

allmotor · 06-24-2008, 02:10 PM

so are the Qlink and Sierra 200 the same bike?

yurkia · 06-24-2008, 02:27 PM

I have a zongshen 200cc dirtbike (sorry no dual-sport, hehe ). I absolutely love it. plenty of power and top end for a dirtbike. Kind of a heavy bike. but great for the trails.

nice nice so how many people that owned Zongshen's had major issues... I'm reading thumpertalk and cycle cruisers and they bash Zshen to hell.

I think if you look forward to a great Chinese- with Japanese class- Enduro to hit the American market it will be a Zongshen......thats all I know!

allmotor · 06-24-2008, 02:49 PM

maf119l · 06-24-2008, 03:03 PM

I have a 200cc zongshen in a 4 wheeler.Does not have near as much power as my lifan.Even after doing the c-clip mod still under powered.Only ran it a couple of hours.May get better the more i run it.Thats the way my Lifan and Johnny Pag both did.

fatboy250 · 06-24-2008, 03:03 PM

Red2003 and I have the exact same bike and I have right at 15k miles on mine. Dad has over 10k on his. I would recommend them to anyone. You will however still have to deal with the little china bike issues that we all have.

allmotor · 06-24-2008, 03:33 PM
