Hello From Tenessee - 2008 Wildfire 200cc
Thx for the add
Just bought a 2008 "Hondoid" WFG-200LDB "Street Legal" bike w title here in TN and finding that it's a challenge getting the right parts for it. Any advice is appreciated thx. My bike was basically leftover stock from a dealer and never really ridden - had 3 miles on it and title had never been signed over from dealer so it is blank. Mine needs new ignition and tank lid (keys lost) - found the ignition but the plastic tank is weird and does not have a typical screw cap. Will try to post some parts questions in the appropriate forums. |

I started a Google photo album of the parts "journey" in case it helps anyone else.

Nice deal! And welcome to C-riders
This looks like a 163-FM style pushrod engine. It is a good dependable Honda CG clone. Cleveland Cycle werks used this and derivatives on their creations. Verify the model (behind the gearshift. Presumably the engine/stator are OK, but knowing the engine model would be good. Ignition? You mean the keyed switch, right? Does the CDI unit have a part number on it? It may have a DC or AC type CDI unit. AC units get no power when you turn on the key. DC units get 12V at the CDI when you turn on the key. Interesting battery placement back there! Can you get the battery to hold enough charge to see if the CDI unit is getting power when you turn on the ignition? If the battery can hold some charge, see which lead at the ignition switch is getting power when the battery is connected, then jump it to the lead that goes to the CDI unit if it does (DC type CDI).

@Thumper thx very much - I have the keyed switch off and a new one on but noticed the 4 pin replacement is also male so I am having to crimp on a new female connector and realign those pins. I am pretty slow at electrics so just takes me longer to figure out.
This has just been sitting in a barn for a lot of yrs so some of the plastics and rubber grommets are just breaking down now. Some of the wiring looks sketchy too. I will look for some of those parts numbers next. Also saw reference to these being same or similar to Kinroad XT200GY so if that is a hint on what to search for will add that to my sourcing notes. |

The only other bike I have seen w that same rear battery box is the Kinroad XT200Gy
https://www.china-parts.co.uk/acatal..._Explorer.html (out of stock) Problem is the battery I got is slightly too big, so I am thinking I may just fabricate something from metal that will be stronger and all metal |

I have 2007ish Loncin and Jialing dual sports. They look similar. The Jialings gas tank looks just like yours. The Jialing also has a battery box where yours is located.
Were there 2 letters before the 164 FML? Also, both of my bikes have a tag on the swing arms stating their brand etc.

From my other thread it is starting to sound like there were a handful of maker names putting this same/similar bike out and so far I see the Kinroad XT200GY looks exactly like it, and sounds like maybe your Loncin and Jialing models might also be a hit.

If I am not mistaken, Wildfire was a brand out of Ohio that re-labeled mostly Lifan bikes. There was a very popular model that Lifan had called the GY-5 (pretty much what Chinariders was originally based on--long story about founder Frostbite's foray into China bikes with a pair of Lifan GY-5's). They had a less popular model called the GY-2. It was easier to plate and register Chinese bikes, but the GY-5 was one of the first Chinese branded dual-sports to be EPA/DOT certified at the time. The GY-2's were not. At any rate, do a dive into the Lifan GY-2 model which is the bike I am quite sure was re-labeled by Wildfire. Also, many dual-sports from China were identical/near-identical to the GY-2--and besides the engines (some were Loncin or Zongshen or Shineray or maybe manufactured by Zongshen and re-labeled as Loncin or Shineray or etc) most of the parts were interchangeable.
The GY-2 bikes were quite plentiful, but over time, with the new crop of 'better' dual-sports, it is somewhat difficult to find parts. But not impossible.
