Lifan Xpect | Mod Overview

[@DB6904.]

Question about your exhaust. If you have an installation video that would be awesome. Also, do you need a heat shield with that, especially for a passenger? U might not care for a dirt bike, but still want to ask you. Thanks again.

[@LifinWeights]

I do not have a vid of the install but the link for the muffler and coupler is the description is all you need! cut the stock muffler right before the welds and you can either have the muffler welded on or you can rig it up like I did with exhaust clamps. For a passenger I see it kind of being a problem. They do make universal head shields so that could work. Or you may be able to have the exhaust shoot straight back instead of slanted up

I heard that switching to an o ring chain on a low cc bike like the xpect can lead to a slight loss of power to the rear wheel, do you think that's true?

[@LifinWeights]

@@domenik8339 it may be true but I’ve never noticed a difference, with a stock 15t sprocket it it will wheelie pretty effortlessly in 1st and 2nd so if it does I wouldn’t imagine it negates power by much

[@krazed0451]

Oring/xring chains have resistance because they're packed with grease, which becomes free moving when hot. Chains heat up fast in use and the sealed chains rob next to no power in practice... They do last a lot longer with a lot less maintenance though 😉

On left side towards rear is that an auxiliary fuel cannister?

[@LifinWeights]

@@davidmorgan2815 just a military canteen I keep in case I need to scoop up some water but I imagine I could put fuel in it if I ever need to

[@domenik8339]

Do you have a link to that rear shock?

[@LifinWeights]

also if you do the rear shock you will need to drill out the holes for the bolt on the shock to fit the stock bolts.(Or get smaller bolts) For the bottom mount you can do washers like I did or get 2 6800 bearings. Stock shock is 305mm so you can always get bigger if you want to raise the bike up. I did 320mm which stopped me from bottoming out so much but any higher and your kickstand might not hold up the bike anymore. That shock also has adjustable damper so you can making stiff or soft I've found right in the middle is perfect

Have you measured the size and upgraded your battery yet? I need a new one cuz what came with it is dying already. If so, could you please attach a link? I'd appreciate Thank you!!!

[@LifinWeights]

This will work amzn.to/3Bl5KQb , it is slightly smaller but you could use something like piece of plastic or rubber under the mount so it stays in place. I would first confirm your battery terminals aren't loose before buying anything because that may be the case the stock battery is pretty solid. If they are tight then put it on a trickle charge and see if that helps any. Its lithium ion so even putting some heat to the battery might help just don't get it too hot. Ive revived plenty of battery but just getting them warm to the touch and keeping them on a charge

[@DB6904.]

​@@LifinWeightsokay I'll check. I had to use the Kickstart once because it was just dead It turns on now with the electric start and it idles but it wants to stall, I'm afraid it's going to die at a stoplight or something. Didn't know it was a lithium battery. That's pretty cool. Thanks.

[@LifinWeights]

@@DB6904. it stalling has nothing to do with the battery it could be needing a valve adjustment, or if it’s hot outside it’ll shut itself off to avoid over heating

[@DB6904.]

@@LifinWeights my fault sorry, I didn't mean stalling, more like just dieing, I'm having to give it more gas to keep it running. It happened after I went out one morning and the bike would not start so I had to use the Kickstart , I thought it was because nights are getting really cold and the battery died. I'm in Pennsylvania. I can try and check other things if needed though.

[@LifinWeights]

@@DB6904. the nights being cold can definitely effect it, lithium ion hates the cold so that could be the case. For it dying that is still can be the valves or your idle. Once it’s running the battery has little to no effect on the bike

Oh you just had to fuckin wear socks in the video intro 😡😡😡
