Hello

[guttafixit]

Hi from Maine. Just picked up a 2006 Lifan LF200 GY-5. Paid $140.00 I didn't think that was bad. Changed the oil and put the carb back together and I started it up. Ran good. The kid I bought it from said it sat for 3 years or so. I have some work to do on it. But I like doing this kind of stuff. Winter project.
Here are couple of pics.

I have the same bike, and the speedo cluster looked just like yours. With a little help from Taobao, it turned out well. I love riding it.

I have most of the plastic some are broke. I will try that site Taobao. What is this bike equal to? Like a Honda or Yamaha? I am going to do some upgrades to it. And would like to know what brand I should buy.
Thank you

Hi, I went to Taobao site and I see Chinese writing? I did the translate with Google and I'm still lost. lol How do you find bike parts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dan

The frame is nearly identical to an early '80's Honda XR200 (not the R version) that had twin shocks. Lifan installed a monoshock in your bike, but the original twin shock mounting points are probably still there, and they're often used for mounting a rear rack.

The engine is based on the Honda CG125 motor, but bored and stroked to 200cc by Lifan. It's a pushrod motor, and it's very reliable.

Use Google Chrome as a browser, and allow it to translate automatically. Keep your search terms short (like GY5), and then filter "Motorcycle/electric car" at the top of the page. Every time you click on an item, it will open in a new tab. If you like it, bookmark it for ordering purposes down the road. It's best to order everything you wish at once to save on shipping.

Open a new tab, go to Google and type something like "28cny to usd", and you'll see that 28 Yuan is equal to $4.50 US.

Once you have assembled a list of things you wish to purchase, check back here and we'll guide you on the next steps.

Once you have exhausted searching for GY5, try CG200.

Thank you Weldangrind that helped me out a lot. Least I have an idea of what the bike is.

Thanks, Dan

You're welcome, Dan. I have tons of bookmarks, so let me know if you're having trouble finding anything.

If I can't find it, Humanbeing is our secret weapon; he can find almost anything on TB.
