Any help would be great.
Ok i will try this again. I have the 2004 Yamoto and 2007 Lifan. I went offroading this weekend. And the Lifan was by far about 15mph faster. But i need a place and sudgestions to get a few things.
A decent dual sport tire and how wide can i go. It is a 18"-410. I think the knobbys cause a little shaking the faster you go. What is a decent inner tube. The Yamoto didnt last to long. A exhaust but not really loud. I use the Lifan for work also. Were and what kind of sprockets (cant really find anywere). And any other performance tricks you can teach me on these new toys. I am not used to these yet. And really trying to get onto them. With out the big 4 cost. So any help would be great. |

Jet your carbs.
There are sprockets out there but you might need to order them for another bike. You can drill out the baffles in your exhaust. It doesn't really make it that loud.

I think most guys just run a drill bit (with extension) through the exhaust tip and put a whole in the baffles, not cut them out entirely.

Bruce at Ejcycles in Ohio also. Call him at 330-274-0098 and he can get you all the parts you need.
I like the duro median tire, but currently it is out of stock in most places. 4.10x18 is the size, but a metric equivalent is the 110/90-18 and that is the widest that fits without mods. Allen
