KP Mini 150 First Ride After Nibbi and muffler install

[@BobNiebuhr-c4n]

Just bought this bike which hasn't come yet. I will be purchasing the same carb and rejetting in the Spring. I appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks!!

Sounds like she's running good! 👍

[@herbiesgarage681]

It sure is, has quite a bit more pep with these upgrades too.

[@nigozeroichi2501]

Cool 😎 I'm slowly losing the battle of "I don't need another bike" 😁 don't want a Grom and the Lifan from what I've seen on KZbin is of decent enough quality, and since I'm from the land of flat also I should be able to use your jetting right off the bat when the time comes to get the bigger carb 😊

[@herbiesgarage681]

The Lifan KP mini is a great bike, you’ll like it! I lose those battles all the time. 😂

[@kennywheelus6857]

Sounds good,I just found out that they came out with a 2024 efi model kp mini rs,man that thing is sharp,new colors too,has a tad bit more horse power stock even

[@herbiesgarage681]

Yes sir, the efi bikes are really nice, you ought to get you one! 😁

@@kennywheelus6857 I don’t think you can go wrong on any of the colors, I’ve seen pictures of them all and they all look good 😂. If you buy one use my code and save yourself $50 and something cool for it 👍🏻

There’s a channel called small engine velocity that has some good videos on the kp mini he did a sprocket change as well.

[@o0Macgruber0o]

He might have some info on what sprocket sizes he ran with.

[@herbiesgarage681]

Hello Victor, Yeah I'm familiar with Caesar's videos, I've watched a few in the past. I like to experiment with the different sprockets myself because so many variables play into the power and speed thing. Besides sprockets are dirt cheap. Thank You for the heads up though.

[@MJ-ff6oo]

Did you have to do anything with your throttle cable? I used my stock one, and upon startup, it idles at 6k-8k rpm. I suspect the throttle is being held slightly open.

[@herbiesgarage681]

@@MJ-ff6oo No, I have the stock throttle cable. 2 things to look for, is the cable seated all the way into the top of the carburetor? Do you have the slide in correctly? Incorrect slide alignment will cause it to idle super fast

[@Gogetter0118]

How did you know what jets to use? I know how to tune a two-stroke scooter but not a motorcycle

[@herbiesgarage681]

Jetting can be difficult but with experience it makes things a little easier. If you understand what circuit does what then you have half the battle and then it’s just a matter of trial and error. With me I am familiar with the different engine sizes and jets needed

[@PatagoniaArg]

Cant decide, get kp mini rs 150cc efi or kawasawki z125? Same price..

[@herbiesgarage681]

Only you would know what is best for you but please allow me just a little comment on it. The z125 is of course only a 125cc and less hp, only has 4 speeds(I think), and even if it’s on sale the dealer adds fees on the price and will probably be $1000 higher when all said and done. On the positive side, the Kawasaki z will be assembled, have dealer support and better resale value. Hope I didn’t muddy the water too much, but for me I chose the KP 150, good luck with whatever you get 👍🏻

[@PatagoniaArg]

@herbiesgarage681 why you chose kp 150? I am reluctant due to dependability. Unsure on that.

[@herbiesgarage681]

@@PatagoniaArg my experience with Lifan has been really good. My KPR 200 and KP mini 150 have been super reliable. I haven’t had to repair anything yet on either bike. The 150 is a pretty amazing engine, once I changed carb and exhaust it really came to life. I’m not trying to sway you, it’s entirely up to what you want. Myself, I love having my bike in a crate with me assembling it without anyone else touching it.

[@PatagoniaArg]

@herbiesgarage681 there is a place near me that sells the new 150cc with electronic fuel injection. I am considering it over kawasaki.

[@herbiesgarage681]

@@PatagoniaArg it is a good bike for sure, I can’t speak to the Z125 I’ve never even sat on one

[@pastorczo13]

What are the stock sprockets on this? And i agree..60-65 wpuld be plenty for me for my commutes.

[@herbiesgarage681]

Hello Christopher, stock gearing is 15f and 36r, I plan on installing a 16f on it and see how it does.
