9300 miles now.

When something goes I will part it out so it can live on with many happy china bike owners.

I'm at about 8k miles now. Nothing wrong at all (knock on wood). Replaced tires and new chain at 5k and one turn signal at 8k.

Chain ate up rubber chain guide. Replaced that with strips of nylon cutting board.

Loose spokes, odometer sticks.

Low beam wire connection loose.

Stock bolts secured with Gorilla glue at 5k but never lost any or broke any. Just did it because. Only loose bolt was 1 that holds the steering lock on.

Change oil ever 500mi and check valves aver 2k.

I have ridden my little Lifan 100 dirt bike about 450 km so far and I haven't had any major issues. The only things I've had trouble with are the carb (my fault though) and that the tubes in my tires are junk. Of course I've had some loose bolts but Loctite red and blue have solved those woes very easily.
