Can't wait for more videos on the KPM I've learned so much from you from the KPR200 videos you made a while back. I got mine and absolutely love it. There's a Facebook group dedicated to these and give great tips and tricks. Even a fan made a website with help. Got 3.5k miles on mine and it is durable. Take take herb!
We have about the same mileage on our bikes, the KPR has been super reliable for me as well. I’m looking forward to doing lots of videos on this bike, I can tell already that the build quality is very good and of course it has the same engine as the KPR so no problems there. Thanks for the encouragement and comment 👍🏻
Love that you finally got the KPM 200, can't wait for future videos on maintenance with this particular bike. Specifically the chain for some reason there is slack every 2 weeks of riding and it's quite annoying and hoping you find a fix for it. but all in all it's a great little bike.
Thank you, just make sure you preload the adjustment after you tighten the axle nut. I show this in my next video, The PDI on the KPM. I appreciate the support, thank you 👍🏻
Herbie, you are like me with drum sets sick I don’t need more drum sets lol I follow you for the Honda Goldwing and you have taught me so much I pulled my carb for a fine tune like you did! Without your easy to flow video I don’t think I would have done it myself so I want to thank you for that . But my guess is your wife doesn’t like more nbikes like mine doesn’t like more drum eets
😂 I know it’s a sickness, but a good one! My wife is tolerating it which I’m thankful for 😁. You probably have more money in the drum sets than I do motorcycles 😂. Thank you for the feedback on the Goldwing videos, I’m glad that they were useful and this gives me motivation to continue. I have my Goldwing running perfectly and ready for my long trip in June. Thanks so much for the comment 👍🏻
For some reason All i mean ALL chinese bikes say mph but they really mean kph . It might be off by 3-10 mph .. also the revs are off too by 1k 0r 2k ... I noticed this on every single chinese bikes ive experienced. It good to know how to read kmph too. The lifan kpm sexy just wish was a 300cc . Which side is the antifreeze and radiator coolant . To put stuff inside it ?? Wheresthe air filter so we can change that plus oil filter?? And where do we apply the brake fluids?? I love your vids very detailing
@@MotoRevs1 The gauges can toggle between kph and mph. My Kpm is on off 4 mph at top speed. The coolant reservoir bottle is on the right side by the gas tank. The air filter is under the seat. Thank you I appreciate that!
Mostly I always want a Lifan Lycan 250cc motorcycle because looks cool and my friend he had one and he said his brother loves drive it a lot on cruising down the roads! Herbies
I am jealous. I have wanted one of these for the last 2 years. I have a RPS Hawk EFI and if I can ever sell it, I will move into this KPM. It is such a nice bike. The Hawk has very few miles on it as I am not as fond of it as I though I would be, but it is OK. The KPM is just a better product. Thanks for sharing these KPM videos Herbie!
You’re welcome, I agree the Lifan bikes seem to be a step up and the KPM has been awesome. I was up on the interstate yesterday and traffic was moving pretty good and I hit 80mph on my speedometer. 😁 This little 200cc is really impressive, I’m glad I got this bike for sure. If you decide to get one I hope you really enjoy it too! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Thank you for making these videos! I have about 300 miles on my KPM and just did my first oil change after watching several videos. This is my first bike so any videos you do on maintenence would be a huge help!! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Awesome, Thank you for subscribing! I do plan on doing some maintenance videos, my first will be on an oil change but it sounds as though you've got that covered. : )
@@MrStevenWalker We talked about going for a ride together but honestly she has a little ways to go before she feels good enough to get her license and hit the road. I would love to do that though 😁
@@herbiesgarage681 well when it happens it'll be that much more fun. I'll be getting myself a KPM shortly to customize and road trip. Definitely like what I've been seeing from your channel ✌️
Herbie you need to re-torque that front axel! The manual calls for 69Nm to 81Nm. That converts to 50.9 ft lb to 59.7 ft lb. 35 ft lb is way too low and I wouldn't want you to have an issue with it.
Your videos are fantastic! This is my first comment ever on youtube for a video. I wish you made videos for other things too like baking a cake or train dogs because your videos are very very very good 😆
@ This is an older video of my KPR 200 and it has the exact same motor as the Kpm. I have a good angle on it here. Start watching about 17:00 - 18:00 minutes. th-cam.com/video/vuQB7W823gw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kM6itrSltsYIoaHq
Hey just curious what color was the coolant in your bike ? I just got one and put it together radiator full but overflow bottle was empty they didn’t include the bottle of fluid from venom on the bike I got called them and kind of getting the run around on getting one sent to me although it is Christmas week so I kind of get they probably short handed. Anyway my fluid in the radiator was pink in color when I talked to someone in there parts department he told me use the HP type 2 coolant and that is blue in color so was thinking probably not the best idea to mix the red and blue
@@morecowbell169 All of my Lifan bikes came with green color coolant I believe, looks like Prestone to be honest. The Honda coolant is perfect for the bike. I’m not sure I would mix it either though. I have a video of changing out the coolant on the KPR which would be the same on the Kpm. Let me know if I can be of more help
@@Haven_wayRBLX I guess you’re doing the assembly now? The best way I found is to try to put the wires on top inside the headlight. It’s a tight fit but you’ll get it
@ It’s tight inside the headlight bucket, the LED module takes up quite a bit of space. You just have to move the wires until it fits inside. The screws in the back help to pull it in a little bit
@@Haven_wayRBLX Yes it comes prefilled with oil and coolant but you need to check both levels before starting it to make sure everything is at the proper levels. The Kpm also comes with an extra quart of coolant just in case you need to top it off. It’s in a gray container and it doesn’t have any markings on it but that’s the coolant bottle
@ If it was me I would have some Rotella T4 15w40 on hand just in case you need to top the oil off and besides your oil changes will come pretty quickly 😊
As I am one person and have no help getting this bike out of the crate and the fact that it does not come with the front wheel on like the venom ghost chopper. Is my only option to pay the $299 for them to assemble it and send it to me ready to go with the front wheel all ready on the bike? Thank you
It can done with one person but it’s best to have someone there to help steady it so you don’t drop your brand new bike. It sounds like the already assembled bike might be in your best interest. Entirely up to you, I wish you well whichever way you go. Let me know if I can be of help to you
@@herbiesgarage681 Thank you. I do like the ghost chopper and it has the wheel on it all ready and it seemed pretty simple to get it out of the crate the way you did it. It is also a more basic design. Like Scotty said in Star Trek. " The more complicated they make the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the sink"
@ The hardest parts are lifting the bike up to put the front wheel on and putting the turn signal/ headlights bucket together. Install handlebars before attempting to put the front wheel on, makes control a lot easier. It’s not really hard just allow yourself plenty of time so as not to rush
@@ktmracer3587 he hasn’t sold it yet but it is for sale, he just bought a Honda ST1300 to replace the KVS. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the KVS, I’ve owned a Kawasaki Versys 650 before and it shares the same engine. It is a strong runner for sure.
Beautiful bike. It's well packaged just like the Lycan is just got. Top quality bikes Lifan have.
I agree, I’m really impressed with Lifan products, I hit the dmv tomorrow to make it all legal

You are so through I’m surprised you didn’t put a battery tender connector on when installing the battery

Question…does the bike use oil during break in process? And full part is to the top line or where it make an indent?
@@Haven_wayRBLX It might use a tiny bit but not a lot. Full is up to the H indent
@ does it look like an H lol because I just see the indent and the top line unless that’s what you mean.
@ yeah mine has an H on it but it is the top line. You should have about 3/4 of the glass in oil

How does the headlight work putting the wires back in…..?
@@Haven_wayRBLX I guess you’re doing the assembly now? The best way I found is to try to put the wires on top inside the headlight. It’s a tight fit but you’ll get it
@ yeah it’s the pain in the ass with no instructions on it etc. we have it half way but the top has a gap.
@ It’s tight inside the headlight bucket, the LED module takes up quite a bit of space. You just have to move the wires until it fits inside. The screws in the back help to pull it in a little bit
@ do you know what screws fit in the very back of the headlight?
@ I don’t, but if I remember correctly they are just sheet metal screws. Didn’t yours come with them?
Does the bike already come with oil in the bike along with anti freeze and coolant?
@@Haven_wayRBLX Yes it comes prefilled with oil and coolant but you need to check both levels before starting it to make sure everything is at the proper levels. The Kpm also comes with an extra quart of coolant just in case you need to top it off. It’s in a gray container and it doesn’t have any markings on it but that’s the coolant bottle

Kinda ironic that you post this video the day I sell my white kpm200.
