    72mph is pretty impressive for a 150cc engine. Awesome!

      Congratulations on your new bike! The SS3 is such a cool little bike and for a 150cc does really good riding on the highway at 55-60. I hope you have years of enjoyment out of it 👍🏻

    I had a similar problem with my Chinese clone of a Grom. The idle screw would back out from the vibration. I ended up putting a few wraps of Teflon tape and it hasn't moved since. I was going to use some blue locktite but figured I might need to adjust it. Good idea about the washers though. Thanks for posting your videos. I am thinking about getting one like yours but the fuel injected one.

      Good idea with the Teflon tape! The efi mini would be great. I really like my carb bike, especially since I installed the Nibbi carb. The little 150cc engine really surprised me, it runs great and has enough power to go anywhere I want to take it. It’s a good reliable bike. If I can be of any help just let me know, I always respond to every comment.

    Did you test the top speed before the sprocket change? Just wondering the differences.

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes I did test it both ways and actually the 17 tooth sprocket only gives it a couple of mph higher and if it is really windy it may not gain anything. The main reason for me to run a 17 tooth is to lower the rpm’s while riding on the highway. It really depends on what you want but for me I like the 17t sprocket because it gives me enough speed and it runs at a lower rpm. Win, win I think

      @herbiesgarage681 interesting I'm not interested in that just want to make sure these little bikes have enough torque down low to get off a red-light on main roads quick enough. I mean I wouldn't be mad at increasing torque a bit I'm not worried about hitting 65 or 70 mph . So if 15 is the stock 1 on this lifan 150 bike what's there a 14 or 13 tooth?

    Knowing how capable the kp mini is have you found yourself not having a need for the kpr200 as much.

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello ktmracer, no not really, the KPR can travel interstate highways as well as maintain higher highway speeds more easily. The Mini is a great little bike and very useful in what it does best. If it’s really windy or hilly roads the mini struggles a lot more than the KPR for keeping highway speeds. I love both bikes and each one has its place. 😁

    You can't be putting that gas in it. They have ethanol

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Maybe you can explain this to me, because I'm not understanding what you mean. Are you saying that this machine can't use ethanol gas? It absolutely can use ethanol gas, some places don't even carry non ethanol gas, in my area I have to drive an hour to find it. Ethanol will gum up carburetors if it is sitting over long periods of time but even then there is things you can do to prevent this. I burn ethanol in every motorcycle that I own which is several and don't have any problems.
