andydew Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I got my lifan bolted in, and the stock motor is out and up for sale. It is missing the pull starter, but I was able to get it running by bumpin it. It is all stock to the best of my knowledge. Located in Riverside Taking offers Quote

Sanddemon4884 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 been thinking about getting a lifan for my 70 how hard is the swap? pretty much just bolt up or anything new fabbed or special parts needed ? Quote

It bolts right up as far as motor mounts and chain alignment. Amount of fab and mods depends on which one you go with. Quote

The 125 bolts right in, as Pete said. I bought a "pit bike" exhaust, so I have a little fab to do on that front. Also, there's no way I'm cutting my brand new fenders, so I'm gonna fab up a "jockey stick" kickstarter. That's going to be about it, as far as the swap goes I believe. Quote

Did you keep the pullstarter from the stock 70? You should be able to mount that up. It wont look as cool as a jockey stick kick tho... Quote

Unfortunetly, the 70 I picked up didn't have one; it was missing, or else heck ya, I would mount that up. That's kinda the whole reason I did the swap. It was 75 bucks to get a used one, or 275 for a whole new, much larger, motor In fact, I ended up selling my old motor for $100, so 275-100 = 175 vs. 75... no brainer, for a c- note, I got a lifan Quote
