Anti-lock brakes?
I was looking at Fashby's front brake setup compared to mine
Mine: Fashby's: Is the doodad hanging off of his brake the anti-lock thing like the Lifan's have? And aren't the rims purty!

Very purty, but you need to wash them...
I saw someone talking about it in another thread, and they said thats what that was... The dealer I got my bike from removed that before I got it, but he said it was just some sort of reserve... I don't know... things work without it. |

Yes, the doodad is the "ABS" capsule. It provides an area for the brake fluid to go under extreme pressure rather than locking the front wheel.

Don't worry about your dirty rims Pauli, it shows you ride the bike. Mine are covered in grease so I never have to clean them. Jonathan. |

I'm sure Tapeworks.com would love to print up some tiny NOS stickers for you.
I'm thinking of getting a handfull of go fast stickers form them for my Hyosung. |

rear brake hang/lock up is common on these bikes there is a thread on it somewhere with a couple of good fixes .

Darn prudy doodad. If you ride street more than dirt, or if you are new2riding I think it's a good idea. I want to be as safe as I can be. My life couldn't get much better without winning the lottery. My bike didn't come with one. If it's cheap, and it works, and I can find them, I'll get two. Once I change the rear tire of course, it's not disk yet.
I think it looks like a sparkplug for the brake engines. LOL |
