I'm looking to get a bike again, I used to ride mopeds and I've ridden a bunch of other bikes and it's time for me to get my own, I'm in love with the kpm200 from lifan . Wanted to ask what does anyone thing about making it into enduro style bike? I live in area with a lot of trails and I want both lifan xpect or kpx250, and the kpm200, can't get both at the time so I'm thinking about maybe changing exhaust to something that doesn't run under the frame, maybe adding a skid plate and changing shocks and tires. What other advice does anyone have on this subject/project? And any parts or just suggestions are welcome. And of course If this is a horrible idea tell me hahaH.
Been looking up the scrambler type conversions, Looking like: Tires Brush guard or skid plate Adjustable rear shocks Maybe fork adjustments or upgrades Sprockets for little lower gearing maybe Rear rack? Anything I'm forgetting? -thevines2 Last edited by Thevines2; 03-07-2023 at 04:49 AM. Reason: Added more |

The exhaust could be simple other than figuring out the mid pipe routing and mounting. I am quite literally in the process of mounting an aftermarket kpm200 exhaust to my Hawk 250. Ironically doing the exact opposite of what you are doing. Any CRF230 style exhaust should bolt to the head, with the same flange modification needed most likely. That would give you the ground clearance.
You may want to look into a high mount front fender like a dirt bike as well. Low fenders can clog and even jam up with mud easily.

Try searching YouTube. I remember watching a video of a guy doing what you are talking about. He did a fantastic job.
