Welcome!
Congrats on the good score. I believe this is the first bike over 150cc on this forum from the UK. I was beginning to think that nobody imported 200cc bikes.

There are quite a few GY200 clones in the UK - branded Lifan, Zongshen, Kinroad, BTS, Sukida.... I could go on and on!
Well impressed with my GY so far, its branded 'Xplorer' but in the VIN no begins LF indicating Lifan I think? Its not a 2010 model - guess c2006 ish but brand new for that money was too good a deal to miss! After I've run it in (1000kms) 612kms to date on the clock, will do another oil change and fit the larger jet to the carb & power filter I have already. Anything else I would need to do - either general maintenance wise or to boost the power - don't do off roading so top end speed is more use to me - any advice greatfully received. Oh, forgot to say its the 163FML engine - is this OHC or OHV? How do I tell? |

http://204.68.195.151/cars/rules/manufacture/ OHV  OHC  I am sure that the engine has some things to check at 1000km, but there is no service manual on that engine, that I have seen. |

That's £425, not $425. That's $965 Canadian or $820 US. Still a good deal.

A long story but briefly....
It belonged to a shop who went bankrupt & was taken by the official receiver who duly auctioned off all the stock. A guy bought it but couldn't get it registered for road use in the UK as there was documentation missing. Subsequently, I took it off his hands & wrangled with HM Customs & DVLA (thats the licencing dept) for about month before finally succeeding in obtaining a registration. Got there eventually....... |
