    Nice bike. The EFI version comes out next week. I'm going to check it out. Wondering if the EFI bumps up the HP any or possible better fuel range. Thanks for the video.

      I don’t think the hp will increase very much but I would bet the fuel economy will increase dramatically. I don’t know for sure but my efi KPR gets fantastic gas mileage. The bike itself is a great fun bike and efi would be a definite improvement, I wish mine had it. Good luck on your purchase and be safe!

    Good excellent review I wonder if I put my vm22 off my 212cc what it would do if u were to jet the stock carb what jet u think I will need mabey a 98 main

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! Jetting is a fine tuning of fuel delivery and has many variables. The stock vm22 which is a 26mm just like the stock SS3 carb will probably come jetted pretty close to what you will need. A general rule of thumb is idle to 1/4 throttle is pilot jet. 1/4-3/4 is the needle position and 3/4 to full throttle is the main jet. So I would put the vm22 on if you like that carb better and try it. The stock carb isn’t a bad carb either though. If you start having issues in any part of the throttle then you need to focus on the 3 different changes and apply where needed. Hope this helps, thanks for the comment 👍🏻

    Which do u think is better the efi version or the carb one trying to decide between the kp mini or the kpx 250

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello Sam, the carb vs efi is really a personal one. Carbs are good for tuning and modifying and once you get the jetting right are usually pretty trouble free. The efi is more constant exact dispersion of fuel resulting in better fuel economy. It is also better suited for today’s ethanol fuel if your bike sits for any period of time, because it’s a sealed system and the fuel gel problem with ethanol is going to be less on efi. With efi your kind of limited to engine modifications, probably just exhaust change and maybe a filter mod. But if you want to just buy it and ride it out of the box I would suggest the efi model. Both the mini and the KPX are great bikes, but completely different in size and riding capabilities. It really depends on what you want in a bike. Hope this helps 😊

      I don’t know anything about backflip stunts, other than what I’ve seen on motocross bikes. These bikes are fun to ride and can wheelie pretty easily but that’s about as much as I know about stunting, sorry

    Very interested in the bike so you think it would be good for around town up to 50mph? Also that is a nice bag where did you get it?

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello Spencer, yes it would be a great around town bike. If you ride it as is without modification it will run 55mph pretty decent. And with a little modification (Carb and Muffler) it will maintain 65mph pretty decent. I've had mine up to 72mph. Lifan builds good products and they have been into powersports for a long time. I have 2 Lifan bikes and I plan on getting a third someday. Here's the tail bag I bought off of Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K3VLHRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    What gave you that top speed? Was it the new carb or the sprocket upgrade?

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello, the carb and exhaust is what gives it the little extra boost that it needs in power and the 17 tooth sprocket helps propel it faster. It’s really a combination of everything.

      Yeah, I tried messing with it. If it was consistent wrong instead of sporadic I could probably fix it. I think the float is too big and rubbing inside the tank.
