Thanks, friend! Think I'll stay away from the counterbalanced engines. In 1984 I bought a new Harley-Davidson XLX1000 Sportster. They had rigid motor mounts. All steel, and no rubber. In 2004 they redesigned the frames using rubber mounts. Many riders don't like the "rigid frame" Sportsters. Mine didn't bother me due to vibrations. It just was not that bad. Later, I owned an '06 XL883. It was fine too, but, when they went to the rubber mounted frame, the Sportsters gained a bunch of weight.
How many miles on your Lifan engine before the chain became a problem? Or did you tear it down for another reason?
