Yet another no call, no show delivery appointment. I called TFF Friday to schedule yet another appointment and was assured a delivery date of 12/25 from 10 tom12. I even called early this morning to verify and was told "rest assured your shipment will be delivered today between 10 and 12." NOT!
Rant over for now. |

Got one of these for my wife.. 90 miles on it so far, changed the gear and engine oil on day one.. one minor issue was when she was riding (she is learning btw) i told her to stay under 40.. traffic got to her and hit 50.. she heard a burst of air and then the check engine light came on.. she pulled over, i also did to look the bike over for leaks or loose hose.. everything looked fine.. peeked at the gauges again and the check engine light was off...
shrugged it off as " She popped the scooters cherry".. thoughts ? Last edited by BiGMERF; 04-26-2022 at 02:24 PM. |

Sounds almost like something emissions wise may have popped off. Sometimes, the crank case vent will be covered during shipping to prevent oil leaks. That could be the culprit.

This is very possible. I forgot which bike it was but on that bike the vent line was folded over and zip tied from the factory.

All the Lifan engines I've purchased were shipped that way, and according to the engine numbers listed on the web page that is a Lifan engine. |

Then I guess that’s what happened. Lol. Rode it today another 5 miles and she did fine.
May I ask the differences between a Lifan gy6 and a reg gy6 ? Also since these are gfi, does that mean adding a better flowing air filter or exhaust requires no other adjustments |

Lifan is just one of many manufacturers making the GY6 engines and their probably isn't much difference between them. I've had great service out of Lifan motorcycle engines so I expect these to be good quality.

The scooter arrived today in an unbelievably mangled crate. Fortunately nothing was broken, just some paint scrapes and a bent center stand. We got it set up and oil changed, filled it with gas and it fired right up. Took a short test drive and all is well, seems pretty peppy. Will do a review after getting it plated.

TForce Freight formerly known as UPS Freight sucks. Not only was the crate smashed on the way from LA to Bend Or but it took 3 weeks to get here and they had to hand it off to another company to deliver. They told me that in addition to the three weeks transit it would be another 2 weeks until they could schedule delivery to my house. Their web page says 3 days transit time

Looks like they ignored the handle with care label.
