Hey all

What is the standard (if there is one) factory sprocket setup on the Viva
I have one in transit and would like to know that and also the factory warranty term

Thanks in advance

The standard sprockets are 17 front 56 rear, I would change to a 45 that is what we did and are very happy. They say their warranty is 6 month on most things some exclusions are in there and 1 year on the motor. If you find anything broken when it comes get a hold of the immediately so they can send you the parts. Sometimes they seem hard to get a hold of. One time we left them a message and didn't hear back for about 3 weeks. I hope this helps, We are happy with our two vivas and have 2000km on them without any major problems but a few minor repairs. Just remember loctite everything and grease grease grease all moving parts. There is no grease on anything.

Thanks Akona

I will loctite everything threaded, and grease everything that moves(especially the swingarm bolt!)

Also where did you buy your replacement sprockets?

thanks again,still waiting for my bike(they are closed 4/3 and 4/4 For Passover) so it's not even processed yet

Joe,
As best I can recall the OLD Viva's, Roketa's and Lifan's were shipped with a 56 rear sprocket, pretty sure the newer models come with a 45 but that all depends on who you get the bike from and what year you get... 45 is still tall if you do straight on-road but for off-road it will work too, 45 is an all around size and works well for an enduro, you just need to make changes according to your riding style... You'll have fun with your bike and just think you could have bought 2 or 3 for the same price as a big flat screen tv!!!

We got our sprockets from bike bandit and used the compatability chart in the tech info section.

I guess I should wait till I get the bike to see what sprocket is on there.

I'm guess'in I will do 80% street 20%trail so low RPM's will be my priority

:roll: waiting patiently for my china bike

The rear sprocket is a 56. The front is either a 17 or a 15. Not sure. I just ordered new sprockets and a 520 chain from Bruce at EJCycles.

Be patient! It will get there.
