increase power on Lifan LF200gy-6
I was wondering if there was a way to make some adjustments to increase the power. I find there is not enough power to bring the front tire up. There seems to be plenty of power while riding but if I am in first gear and crack the throttle to try to pop it up it just revs up and I have to shift to quickly. The wheel does not leave the ground. Maybe I am expecting too much after owning an RM125 in my younger days. I also have a 1982 cb650sc Nighthawk in great shape if anyone is interested. Asking $2500

Sure, you can unleash some power with a better pipe and air filter. You can also play with the sprocket ratios; what gearing is on the bike now?

Thanks I was thinking better sprockets. I am not sure what the gearing is now. I am going to get a new Air filter and Oil filter as soon as possible. I just got the bike last week. I have not had a chance to tinker much yet. What Sprockets and pipe do you recommend?

Spud has had good luck with a universal FMF muffler that he paid around $105 for, and it is approved for forestry use. Take a look at his modification list in the dual sport section, and you'll easily find the muffler part number.
I can't make a sprocket recommendation until I know what sizes you currently have.

The pipe/filter/jet and then sprockets are about the best mods to make in the power/delivery department.
As for oil filter I believe the GY6 uses the cleanable screen. No filter to buy. Allen

Sprocket and chain
Wow its been a while but I was wondering what compatible Honda or Yamaha sprocket will work on my 2007 Lifan 200 gy-6. The current rear sprocket has 46 teeth and the chain has 65 links + master link so 66. There are no dealers here that sell lifan parts. Need a sugestion please

You will want to review this thread. It should relate to your lifan.

That is actually 132 links in the chain. You would need a smaller front sprocket or a 50 tooth or larger rear sprocket to accomplish what your looking to do...
I happen to carry a 50t rear sprocket and smaller front sprockets in stock... I would have to check on a price for shipping to Canada.

So you also carry Chain adjusters. The right side chain adjuster bolt was rusted badly and I ended up breaking it off trying to losen it. or could anybody tell me if there is an equivelent Honda or yamaha part I could use. I think I need to replace the whole thing as I have not had any luck getting the busted bolt out of the adjuster.
