New Lifan Owner

[esblow]

Hello From Florida,

I've been riding motorcycles for years (you know, those mainstream Japanese brands) and I just bought my first Lifan, picked it up last night. I've always wanted a dual sport and got a deal on it so I couldn't turn it down. The problem is that the guy I got it from told me there was a clear title, but it is actually an unsigned certificate from the manufacturer (Chongqing).

So my first question on the forum is how do I make the title/registration process as painless as possible?

Second, what are some common fixes/modifications to make this a better bike? Like getting the turn indicators to stop flashing when I use the brakes, and making the turn indicators noise stop. I've been known to turn a wrench or two and just want to make this a decent bike.
