COOL buy a rain coat.

AHH you think you'll save money on gas but LOCTITE cost a lot and these bikes need it more than fuel.
My bike gets about 65-70MPG(estimated) but I only get about 15-20 miles on LOCTITE(actual) before I need to reLOCTITE.

Our bikes say American lifan right on one of the stickers but they are from China lifan thru a different dealer altogether.
But I guess a large amount of China bikes coming over here were going thru American lifan and they made a huge mess of it all.

Funny? :roll: OhhhhhYa!

If I could get my hands on a 5 gal. pail of loctite, I'd buy it. With my bike it's faster if I use a mop.

When I worked for a concrete company as one of the states highest paid lubemen

I got to work on the automatic lubers that were on the trucks and thinking about it we could use a self LOCTITER system that just keeps pumping out loctite to all the bolts.

Glad you got it figured out.Not always easy to tell from just a pic.A lot of these bikes look the same.I see from your second set of pics that it was made by Tomoto Industries but could have been sold by a couple of different companies under thier own brand.Thats the way some of these Chinese companies do it.Good luck with it and enjoy.

Looks like the same bike I have.

It does look very similar to the Huansong/Viva, and Tomoto is the US importer using the Viva brand name as well.

To some less knowledgeable, or even less honest dealers every Chinese Enduro is considered a "Lifan".

Funny, the sticker says "Supermoto" but it looks like a regular Dual Sport to me. :?

Should be a good bike, though. :wink:

It's holds the housing up and allows you to adjust your light up and down.... trust me, you'll need every lumen that thing puts out!

I know this was sort of sarcasm, but for the record, I haven't put a drop of loctite on my GY6 and no loose screws

Back on topic, did you buy the bike new, who was the dealer? You should let A.L. know that they are claiming to be a dealer of theirs.
