LIFAN lf 250 B Help

**Slain181** · 04-29-2016, 04:23 PM

I recently bought a LIFAN LF 250 B and I'm really enjoying the ride but it runs out of steam at around 90kpm/55mph. I've checked all the mechanical so my only option is gearing.

Standard the bike comes with 16/45 sprocket set up and what I'm trying to do is perhaps go 17 or 18 on the front sprocket but I'm not sure about back sprocket or where to find the sprockets for front and rear that fit.

Help is much appreciated and if there is an earlier thread on this please direct me to it.

Thanks for the help

It's a Yamaha Virago clone ... Compares the stock to http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue will find something that works. Once u had those correct JT #, u can find it in 'net, bike shop...

I've been trying to find out what parts of the Virago if any work for the lifan. I've had bike mechanics (who I can tell you right now hate the chinese bike) tell me that the pitch angles could be wrong and therefore cause more damage than help. It's starting to seem like the lifan in Australia is basically, if it breaks then bad luck.

Any help at this point would be awesome

1. Measure w/ caliper http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262411043124
2. Compares "it" to XV250 in JT [Swap "3 items to 520" seems works http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?2207 ]
3. If don't matches [not likely...] , contact JT http://www.jtsprockets.com/contact for the correct # of 530 sprockets w/ ur measerments...
