Top speed depends largely on sprocket selection. Sprocket selection depends largely on the kind of riding you want to do.

Top speed is anything from 45->74. I only have a 150cc bike and my top speed is 60-> 65. But with a 2.47 final gear ratio I ain't going to break records going up hill. N2r.

And your ratio is?

katoranger · 08-30-2007, 04:05 PM

I have done 71mph according to my GPS. 17/45. This was done following a semi on I-85 in SC.

I think pumpkin may have the stock 17/46 on his.

Can anyone point me to a supplier where I can get a new tach cable? Dealer I bought from is giving me the hoo-rah. Need a oem signal too until I can buy a aftermarket set.Buck

Buck, I just ordered 4 LED turn signals the other day so as soon as they get here I may have 4 OEM Lifans for sale, I'll PM you when they get here...

Buck,
You said you picked the bike up in Ft Worth I am curious who you got it from. I may know a dealer here in Dallas that could help you with parts. I am just hoping it is not the same guys.

ATV Discounter Ft Worth. Off west I-20

Buck, are you talking about the tachometer wire or the speedo cable? As far as I know the tach should just run off a wire (or 3) which is easily replaced or repaired. The speedo is another matter.

AZ200cc · 08-31-2007, 11:36 PM

My tach runs off a cable also.

Buck · 09-01-2007, 07:14 AM

Its the tachometer cable[the cable inside the sleeve]
,broke about 2 inches from the end that goes into the tach.

For those who asked me to put up a pic,I have one posted in the gallery now of my 150gy. Now for a couple of questions, are the grease zerks on the swing arm all 6mm? I am trying to find one thats threaded right so I can grease the bolt,dont have a chinese grease gun! Also,what size wrench is everyone using on the oil screen plug under the shifter? Someone said 23mm but thats not it,I bought one and its too small,must be 24 or 25.
Still waiting on the dealer but guess I will order a new tach cable from Brian when he gets back to me.
So far,so good,haven't had any other problems yet,fixing to start internet shopping for spare bulbs,spoke wrench,etc. Have a good one everyone,Buck

You may need to change that grease fitting. It doesn't fit our grease guns too well. I managed to squeeze some through it, but I need to replace it.
