For what it's worth, this is my 2nd summer with a new X-pect and while it does not have a judder at takeoff, it often has a kind of rusty sounding squeak if I take off a bit aggressively, especially...

Looking for old Honda Trail 90 parts

I just bought a 1969 Honda CT90. It runs and is in decent shape, but it's 54 years old and needs some love! Basic stuff like a broken brake handle, air filter, possibly some electrics, inner tubes....

Will this charcoal canister dry out on its own as the fuel level dips or do I need to pull it and purge or replace it?

I guess mine's a 2021. I got it from Venom in December.


Today's ride to and from work was fine, but it did chug a couple times as I got closer to home. It's a 5 mile ride, so it would be about...

I changed it a couple weeks ago to Rotella 15w40 with some break-in ZDDP additive.



There's a filler neck? It's just a hole in the top of the tank, isn't it? I filled it to about an inch...

Ok so I didn't take any gas out, I just let it cool over dinner and went out and tried starting it again. Ran fine! Didn't drip. I took it up and down the block a few times, no trouble.

I bought it brand new from Venom. It has 300 miles on it.

X-pect chugs after fueling

So this is only the 2nd time I've filled the tank, and I tried to top it off pretty high. Can it go too high?



Immediately after pulling away from the pump, it started to stall. It seems to...

Ha! Same story, I have about 240 miles on my X-pect and have been low key going nuts wondering what's up with this sound but haven't taken the time to track it down. Yay for clues!

Let's argue about oil! Lifan X-pect, specifically.

j/k, not looking to get too far in the weeds here, but I have a question.


The manual recommends 15w-40 for the X-pect, but I can't find a motorcycle oil in my area of that weight. Really, can't...

X-pect fuel petcock

I didn't expect a fuel-injected X-pect to have or need a fuel petcock, but there it is. So, question:


What does it do?


The markings on it don't make a lot of sense. The "on" and "off"...

I think what you're talking about on the sides of the tank are the air guides. Many bikes have these to scoop air and guide it toward the engine for cooling. I don't like the look of them so I took...

Lifan X-pect seat

Has anyone had any luck finding an aftermarket seat for it, or modifying it?

Same question! I want new mirrors and a magnetic oil plug, which shouldn't be too hard to find, but I'm sure the time will come I'll want more than that.
