I thought id post my misfortune for giggles... At this point all i can do is laugh and buy parts... Bought the bike on the cheap and i know why! Story is. I went to buy this used pitbike for my son and i to ride around on. I went threw my normal checks and asked the guy to fire the bike up. Purred like a kitten due to the mikuni carb on. Was impressed and took it out for a lite spin. All went well and talked him down fairly easy due to some cosmitic choices.. Should have taken as a warning. Anyway got it home and decided to see what the bike was made of. Put in it 2nd gear and give it a handful.... Slippin false neutral BEAST! yay i said. Came here ask for ideas, got them, ordered parts and began teardown. Finally get motor out and pull off left side flywheel cover and what do i find..... Jb-weld special! All behind the case and spur gear. Sweet.... Lesson learned i guess. Will be ordering a new case.. Really suprised there was no air leak effect but i now know why it left an oil spot on my garage floor. Lesson is stay frosty when on a craigslist mission. Hahaha... Enjoy the pic

Peace
Aaron

Been there and done that, as many of us have. I bought a motorcycle sight unseen 200 miles north of me trusting the seller. Never again will I do that! The bike needed massive work and now I am stuck with a great bike at a terrible price and got burned by my own doing. Lucky for you members sell motors here pretty cheap about $275.00 should be a plug and play replacment. Maybe you paid that for the whole bike I don't know? But, don't feel alone. It happens until you trust nobody and never drop your fists...

Tried to order a LF side case for the lifan 125 and what was pictured would have been correct... what i received was close except where the kick starter shaft rest in the new case... No place to mount the stop plate( i think that is what it is) and where the bearing rest is too long and wont allow the case to close? FML!!! just give me the pictured part! ( email was sent and hoping the response isn't a joke) i may have one pist off wife when i break the news....


update*** response was a joke. go figure
