While doing routine maintenance on my Lifan 200 this morning I noticed the plastic throttle tube is partially cracked. It cracked on the top in the space between the grip and the aluminum housing. I suspect UV as the cause from all those years parked in the sunshine. Wouldn't want to have it crack all the way through while powering up a steep trail, or with a tailgating Tesla on your butt as you accelerate away from a stop light.
