The airfilter disintergated washing in partscleaner,a welding repair on the exhaust....all the lamps are crap and falling apart.But overall for the price I think it's a good bike.
    for your info we don't do the oil they already have oil in them from factory....

    and as for the filter element if you read the owners manual (jesus they actually do tell you stuff it specifiacally states not to clean it in solvents..

    but shit what would i know i'm only lifan nz's manager....and mechanic...

    yet again all that shit is done at factory...

    stop bitching and do your job.

    funny about the air filter, most bikes i've had end up with gas (solvent) on them after riding.

    And as you are the manager and mechanic i think we've found out why the quality is so crap. And if you are the manager of a company (AND the mechanic) shouldnt you be 'rolling in it'.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
