Found some new trails!

SuperTimmy · 06-21-2011, 09:15 PM

I have been exploring lately on my Lifan LF200GY-5. I found a small area about 20 minutes from here that had a couple of small hills and a really fun sandy berm! The berm was a blast flying around-it's a good sized berm.

The past few days, I have been exploring near the inter-coastal waterway and found some fun trails that wind through the woods with berms and little hills-nothing with too much elevation change like some of the photos from guys like Spud! It has been a blast though. Took a couple photos today-sorry they were taken from my phone so not the best quality. The last photo is where this particular trail ended at the inter-coastal waterway. I still have not met anyone around here to ride with-it would be nice. I have a question: Since my bike is air cooled, do I need to watch out for overheating with riding trails and such?

Beautiful scenery! Nothing more fun than exploring uncharted territory!

Looks like a nice riding spot. As long as your moving overheating should not be too much an issue.

Make sure that you are jetted properly.

Super unleaded helps the cause.

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for posting the nice photos, Tim! That looks like a fun ride.

In regards to cooling, just try to keep the engine rpms down, and the bike moving.

The bike overheats when you are running high rpms at very low speeds. If the bike gets hot, try to shift to a higher gear, and ride a little faster. If the bike gets very hot, stop riding, and enjoy the scenery until the engine cools down a little.
