I had one before, brand new, elec start 125. I didnt like it that much but I never did really break it in. It jsut seems cheap, the metal-everything.
But I see they now have a huge 138cc horizontal Lifan motor out there. Im thinking of throwing it in my TRX90.

a friend of mine has a 200x with a lifan, he hasnt had any problems with it, it feels just like a stock 200x should

Well I would like to see a lot of replies from those who have them. I'm looking for an atc70 motor, or may lean towards a Lifan but I just don't understand how a Chinese made motor is as good as a Honda.
I mean it seems everyone agrees that the Chinese quads are junk, so why are these motors getting good reviews?

I heard the SDG minis use lifan built engines. If that is true, then they are very durable. A bunch of drunk 200 pounders beating on a 107 for a year straight is a true test of durability...

i have lifans,,, NOTHING on the motor looks cheap,,, its a exact honda copy,, as lifan and honda agreed to the deal,, lifan is one of the biggest engine biulders in the world,, i would buy more anytime,,, besides,, you can't build a bigbore honda,, with all the goodies for less than triple the cost,,,

Lifans have some quality control issues but it's just associated with the trans. I have a Lifan 120 - the one they call the monster motor in all the ads , 27/23 valves in the head, starts in any gear- and it miss shifts on occasion when going from 3rd to 2nd and goes to neutral. The shift stars and detent springs vary in quality and there is no easy fix. The Zongshen 125 that I had shifted great all the time . The SDG uses a Jaling motor in the 107 3 valve head and they have been known to break starter gears.

Kasey , did you beef up your clutch springs? I know you can use h/d TRX90 clutch springs in your Lifan clutch. I'm running a Kitaco inner rotor in my 120 with Crower G2 cam and 26mm Kitaco carb and Yosh pipe.
