I don't mind toying with a carb, but I already have a carb'd ATV and pit bike. For this round, I want something with less maintenance. Looking like it will be the Lifan. I'll be sure to post once...

Most Reliable China Dual Sport?
Hello,
I picked up an Apollo X18 125 a little over a year ago to see what the China bikes are like first hand. I'm impressed with the bang for your buck and the durability.

Vapor lock? Worth a try. It has an odd gas cap that has no hose. I'm not quite sure how it breathes. There is a small piece that sort of slides to the side - odd design. Hard to tell in the pic,...

No idea what the compression ratio is. If the valves check out, I can drain the tank and try running regular. I'm pretty close to sea level. The website says it's rated at 6.0KW (7500r/min) - the...
