Lifan xPect No Mods, No Major Maintenance Experiment Thread

Speaking as a dude with a brand new X-pect with literally .1 on the odometer, I have essentially 2 questions here.

First, I'm not so much concerned with how long you can go without major maintenance as I am with how fast is it wearing out generally. Like, I don't care how long you can go before you do anything, but I want to know what you're seeing that's failing at this point. What you think needs to be done? Your general assessment of the condition at 4000 miles. I mean, don't destroy the bike, just evaluate how it's been so far without major attention.

Second, very simple: Why do you think it needs a bigger gas tank? A full tank gives you easily well over 100 miles right? My god man, what the hell are you doing that needs more than 100 miles of range at a go? In Florida of all places? Is there a place in that state that's more than 20 miles from a gas station? I live in Montana and I can't even imagine riding 100 miles without stopping for fuel and a coke.
