Kot, can we get an update? Hows the bike?

Pls look all updated in this web.

Now, after 18K on the clock, engine is smooth and easier to get into N or any gear.
At normal temp operation, I can get engine running at 1000 rmp idle.

I use 100% Syn engine oil 5w-40 API SN (not recom by manufacturer as may make the slip in clutch system but I dont care)
Irridium plug
Run on E20

Cheers

Thanks for the update Kot. BTW your English is very good.

I went and sat on one today. Soooo much more comfortable that the Lifan. I may have to get one soon. I forgot to check...can you clarify if the gearing is one down and 5 up like a proper bike? That is one thing I didn't like about the Lifan 200 Cross.

Are you still getting 75mpg?

EDIT: That link is in Thai and I'm afraid I am still illiterate. Can you just tell us overall are you happy with the bike? Any major issues? Has your experience with the service by the dealer been a positive one?

Thanks again!

9 months with >18k km, tz bike is very value.
Gear shift is as other 1 down 5 up, i hate 5 down of lifan
I do my own PM, oil change right away, 15 front sprocket for top end
Cosmatic and so on. Never count for consumpt as long as less than my CB750
I guess >28 km p ltr as mainly use in city

Dual purpose tyres are bad for on road, plan for street tyres since got it
Due to light useage so it is not in priority list , wait and wait......

Good nighgt

If you can get this bike for 49K THB it will be the most valuable bike inland.
All bolts I replaced with Stainless steel cost me >1,500 THB
Took out the top engine bolt to frame, to reduce deep vibrate when race the engine
Got handle bar lifter, to reduce vibrate to handle bar

I had a set of tubeless rim from CB250 17" both F+R since I got this bike and lazy to do the mod
Currently my hobby is a photograph instead of bike.
Here is some of my old lenses from Germany, and Jap, I buy in and sell out.

Hi Kennon,
I will keep the bike as this condition due to plan change into new hobby.
I focus into vintage german lenses i.e.

Carl Zeiss Jena, Schneider Kreutznach, Enna Munchen,
ISCO Gottingen, Steinheil, Voigtlander, Paxatte Staeble, Elmar & Elmarit, Meyer Gorlitz, Roeschlein Kreuznach,
Rollei, Edixa, Pentacon, Schacht Ulm, Exakta,

and some jap lenses, now I focus into buy most of famous prime f1.4 lenses to do some test photo.
now in hand
- Carl Zeiss Prakticar PB 50/1.4
- Calr Zeiss Pancolar M42 50/1.8
- Olympus S 50/1.4
- Rokkor PF 58/1.4
- Canon FD 50/1.4
- Chinon Tomioka M42 55/1.4
- Voigtlander SL II by Cosinon 58/1.4
- Nikkor S 50/1.4
- Nikkor 85/2
- Porst X-Fujinon 50/1.2
- Fujinon EBC 50/1.6
- Auto Revuenon MCF for Mamiya ZE 50/1.4

And seeking for Topcon RE 58/1.4, too bad many other german brand name never make fix prime f1.4
such as Meyer, schneider, ISCO, Enna, Schacht, Steinheil etc...
Leica of Wetzlar did make but cant effort to get one.
