GY-5 Assembly Question

Phil_R · 10-26-2007, 05:55 PM

Hey Mick,

Side-stand spring...

mrhyak · 10-26-2007, 06:26 PM

No, it must be the piston spring. Pull the head off and attach the spring to the bottom of the piston to the crank, then re-assemble! Do it QUICK!

BTW the bike is a 2007 200GY-5 Lifan

Thanks for the help.....

Go search around the gallery here. Lots of pics and several of the rear wheel assembly I am sure. BTW, what did you have to assemble on the rear wheel? These bikes should come through with everything back there assembled, except adjusting the chain tension???

How true. This is a great site full of helpful people. Hard to find on the internet........

The flat piece just connects to one of the headlight fairing bolts.

If you have no power check the mainfuse and then connections.

I got a replacement battery on ebay for my hard to find battery on my Shineray...if i remember correctly it was a 12n7a or 12n73a (3b will work too)...anyway...not only did i get one sent for free from powersportsmax...but i also bought one on ebay from this vendor:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmotobatteries

Yes...it was very hard to find one...nobody local or anywhere else i tried online had one...but this guy had it...

worth a try...

It is an odd size, But You should be able to find one by measurment.
If not try a 9 series battery. That should be close enough in size. An ETX9 seemed to be almost right for these.

AZ200cc · 10-31-2007, 01:54 PM

Dang, A 9 fit mine...Might be a gtx5L-bs or something like that..Should be easy to find.

Penguini66 · 10-31-2007, 01:56 PM

It should start and run without the battery in it at all. That's the way I've been running mine all this summer. I just put some electrical tape over the battery leads. Headlight is a little dim at night but otherwise it runs just fine.

In this cooler weather, I have better luck starting it with a push start on a hill.

Where in Central PA are you? I'm in Mechanicsburg right accross the river from Harrisburg.

Yea, i have been kick starting the Rat since I have been too lazy to go get a battery for it...lol

You might just need to turn the idle up.

Hey Mick,

I just got one of these things too. Mine came with rear swing arms bolted to the packing crate and no instructions for the rear disc brake and the spacers go together on the axle bolt. Did you get yours together? Could you tell me the order and the position of the brake? A pic would be great!! Haven't tried to start it yet. I'm hoping I don't share your battery problem.

Thanks.
Bruce
