Thank you again for the videos. Looking forward to the update you mentioned to ZTE Burner. Kind of staggered regarding the frequency of valve adjustments that you mentioned. At least once per month/every thousand miles?! Wondering if there's a way to keep them from going out of adjustment so often. I thought these engines were designed to be low maintenance. Also, how is the sprocket situation with the rear wheel working out? Has the Locktite solved the problem? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with the motorcycling community! It's people like you that will give us a fighting chance if it ever comes to fighting! Hope to see you and "Jr" on the "row ad" some day!
It fixed the problem perfectly. Thanks for noticing the idle issue, good ear! We actually had to do the valves again to smooth it out, probably something that will be an ongoing maintenance issue. Thanks for watching!!!
@@captainprairie5790 this is good info and I appreciate it. I own several Japanese bikes and have always done my own wrenching a friend just purchased the like you were working on and of course I'll be working on it so I'm trying to get a handle on any issues these bikes have once again thank you for posting your video
@@captainprairie5790 oh yeah that’s right that’s a huge variable to consider in age. I’m 35 I gotta call around before I purchase one I wouldn’t want to get insurance or the bike if it’s more than $50 a month liability only
That valve cover should go straight up after getting the bolts out, not even sure why I didn't show it. Thank you for the question, sorry that I have no intelligent answer.
@@captainprairie5790 no worries. I used to watch that show every day and I instantly hear Reds slang. I did my valve adjustments today on my xpect using your video. everything went smooth. thanks for the video
I've never seen such unsteady camera work in my life. I could give that camera to a heroin addict in severe withdrawal and it wouldn't be that shaky. You've just sent hundreds of epileptics to the hospital. Btw, there's plenty of room there without taking the tank off.
HAHAHA! I don't care who you are, that's funny! Although I hope you weren't too serious, there were no heroin addicts hurt in the making of this video! You are exactly right, there was plenty of room without removing the tank and thank goodness. When I was editing this video I was thinking that I wished I had used my tripod and should have left the camera rolling more to see the work actually being done. Thanks for watching, Thanks for the comment!
Great 3 videos so far. Please upload an updated video with a summary of the good, bad, and the ugly.
I do need to get another video out on it! Thanks for watching. I will hopefully get one out soon

Sprocket fix has worked great! We have had to tighten those nuts once but they didn't get that loose, more of a precaution. Thanks for watching!!
Were you able to fix the problem certainly sounds like fuel starvation maybe dirty filter clogged injector

Great job fellas. How much insurance on a bike like this
I don't know the exact figure on the insurance, Flo and my step-wife got our insurance bundled. It is higher because Jr is a teenager!!!

so are you going to have to do a valve adjustment every 1000 miles on these things?
We have had to do them more often than that. We just do it when the engine idles hard and it clears right up. Thanks for the comment!!
@@captainprairie5790 When you say engine idles hard, do you mean high rpms?
@@Jebusite100 sorry about that, no I mean it tends to quit at a stop sign so you have to feather the throttle. Hope that makes sense.
@@captainprairie5790 Yeah, you mean it stalls out when idle?
@@Jebusite100 you are correct!
Why didn't you show the valve cover removal?
That valve cover should go straight up after getting the bolts out, not even sure why I didn't show it. Thank you for the question, sorry that I have no intelligent answer.
@@captainprairie5790 I wish The Lifan KP Mini valve cover is as easy to remove like the xpect.
nice helpful video.......but stop mimicking Red from "the Red Green Show".
That is unintentional, but I am a huge Red Green fan, he must have rubbed off on me. Sage advice, thanks for watching!

@@joeme8899 good to hear it went well. We had to do that every now and again, whenever the idle would get funky
Blow those debrahs away
