    Based on a Suzuki GN250 engine. The twin ports, 2 v, single cylinder is a dead givaway, as is the distinctive 'vented' front sprocket cover. The frame is obviously a Suzuki GZ250 based.

    About a million (maybe a few less) companies in China make GN125/250 type engines, and about a thousand make GZ type frames.

    Sorry, exactly what were you asking?

    yes, thanks

    Sorry for my English



    this engine is used by Kinroad



    on this link http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=521 forchetto said this:

    The top end appears to be the same as the LIFAN 156FMI-2M/162FMJ-M/163FML-2M
    which is based on the OHV Honda CG125 design. They've added electric starting and balancer shaft to reduce vibration. That's what the bulge in front of the crankcase is for.

    LIFAN 156FMI-2M/162FMJ-M/163FML-2M
    Single-cylinder,four-stroke,air-cooled,hand-clutched,electric starter/Kick starter balance shaft 125cc/150cc/200cc
    my question is:
    Kinroad uses a Lifan engine (based on honda cg125) or a suzuki engine.

    Thanks

    The engine in this picture is Honda based, but I don't think this is the same engine as in the first two motorcycle pictures. Come to think of it, I don't even think the first two motorcycle pictures have the same engine.

    They are all different engines?

    Both engines are similar, and both are based on Suzuki designs.

    If you knew the displacement, that would help.

    The first bike has a GN250 style engine. Note the starter is behind the engine and that there are no chrome engine covers. It has dual exhaust (although only one exhaust valve) ports, so the top is a GN250, although the bottom might be based on a GN125.

    The other engine is based on a GZ250. Note the chrome engine covers, and that the top of the cylinder is 'flat.' The engine is identical inside to a GN250, although it reportedly has more torque, less hp.

    No part of either engine is remotely based on a Honda, esp not the OHV type you show.

    As for not working properly, I don't know. The Chinese copies of Mikuni carbs often have the enrichment lever non functional, which will prevent starting when cold. Otherwise I will need more symptoms.
    Both frames are largely identical to a Suzuki GZ series, either 125 or 250. Both are identical. The GZ250 has exhaust mounts on both sides, so more likely a GZ125 type.

    The top bike has a kickstarter, which is absent on GN250's. The bottom bike probably doesn't have a kickstarter.

    Yeah. Take a look at these two photos.





    Time to lay off the grass man! GN250 CLEARLY has starter in front of engine. GN250 has an oil filter cap which is high on the case while the "first bike" completely lacks an oil filter cap...and probably lacks an oil filter all together. Also, take note of the distinctive engine speed sending unit and cable on the GN250's head...also totally absent on the first bike.

    You sure we're looking at the same pics?

    You are right. I was trying to remember based on the GZ150 I had, but I should have brought up a pic to remind of the stuff.

    Sorry, the last pic in the pic is a GN125. It lacks the prominent sender wire at the top.
