The answer is yes the Lifan 140 uses the same size roller as all the other Lifan horizontal engines, which is the same size as the Honda roller. The Lifan roller is made of hard plastic where the Honda roller is made of rubber.
The roller can be installed through the cam sprocket cover without pulling the head. It's an easy enough job but a bit fiddly getting the roller lined up so the center pin bolt can inserted.
The reason I replaced it is when I had the engine apart last year I noticed the center rib of the stock roller was rough. Probably doesn't matter but I rely on this bike to get me in and out of very remote areas so reliability is very important.
