Got it running. image That new lifan 125 sure does pull strong. From all the info and reviews out there regarding these clone motors in our CT's I knew I was in for a power increase. However, I didn't expect such a linear torque curve on this motor. Seriously there is a nice, fat, torque curve on these motors and it really pulls strong through then entire rev range. It'll even pull a wheely now. image

May take it out tomorrow and go ride some mountain trails on it.

I still need to get the tail/brake light working (need to check the wiring. Get a new headlight bucket and headlight ordered from the doctor. Get that wired up. Wire up a horn. Replace the fork seals, springs, and boots.

The extra power is nice isn't it thumbs up. My 140 powered CT wheelies all too easily.

Last Saturday we took a 65 mile ride from home up along FR 370 which runs along the east side of the Cascade divide. My daughter rode the CT, me the Lifan 200, and Jerry his Honda 250. It was a prefect day for riding, 70s, all sunshine, great scenery, dirt and rocks. The spot where this pic was taken is one of my favorite camp spots.
