Congratulations! Nice bike! So much of it reminds me of the X-pect and follows much the same design. Even sounds like it. Seat looks great. Love those aluminum rims. Gotta have some more suspension travel with that height and it may settle some with use. The X-Pect was pretty tight initially. As mentioned, those sprockets might be a direct X-Pect bolt on for upgrade. Big question is that rear shock adjustable for preload and what would be the upgrade. Time will will answer all. Gotta love that Lifan quality when you see it!

I like that they went to the trouble of including a folding shift lever. Those little details show that they are trying; they didn't have to do that. It is nice to have an oil sight glass, but I could live without it, all else considered. Maybe that was a design consideration they had to sacrifice to get the oil filter in there. I think the white and green color scheme is nicely done too.

wheel widths are probably the same as the standard Hawk and TT250 18x2.15 rear and 21x1.6 front. Tires are listed in the material on the venom site. 90/90-21 front and 120/90-18 rear.

What do you think of those tires in general? These are the ones that I bought again. The stock tires. They did great on road and they did fine off-road for me. I went through some deep mud and sand with them and did not get stuck once.
The front end seems to wash out a bit, but that’s just rider error. That’s not the tire’s fault.

Great video Jerry. I am jealous. If my Hawk wasn’t such a good and dependable ride for me, I’d definitely be looking to upgrade to the Lifan. Very impressive for the money. I’m anxious to hear some more about the suspension and highway manners when you get it tagged and insured.

Not till Monday. But it won't matter. The weather man predicts rain for the whole week. I'm so ready to get it out on the road.

I just dumped those into the dumpster a week ago. Mostly worn out and squared off after somewhere around 6000 miles on them. My old sprockets and chain are in there too if you want to really find some sweet deals. (You’re mixing me up with whoever you really got the new stock tires from). Lol

Sorry I didn't post pictures earlier. Life got in the way and had other obligations to take care of. Good news is they were money making obligations, so that means more mod money. So lets start the photo bombs.
