Laurence,
A. All I can say is that the apperance of my emission was indeed like "dusty water" except that it was dried on the lower pipe. I took it to the dealer, who put a stop to it. I doubt water was in it in my case; rather exhaust smoke. If the substance was different, I know nothing regarding your situation, sorry! B. Given the length of time that this thread has been around and the small number of contributors, I doubt that your work creating a site for us owners at this time would be worthwhile. If you check the number of contributions of virtually every other bike, you'll see hundreds and thousands. But I believe that such an undertaking is entirely up to you. Frankly, I don't even check this thread unless I happen online when it's toward the top. Best of luck with your bike, and I hope you have the luck that I have had with mine. #78

I think that hole in the exhaust is just a condensation drain hole. my friends just got a lifan and his is the same.
question what are the standard tires on the lifan 250. front/back #79

Thing is that it makes the lower pipe look, from a distance, as if oil has leaked onto it. Of course, one can just clean the surface below the hole regularly; as it is, I may get rust sometime down the road. I'll check the tires and report shortly about manufacturer as well as size. #80

Rubber on Lifan 250 Cruiser is by CnengShen, which is a Taiwanese outfit, with manufacturing facilities here. Tire on front is nylon 2 ply, 3x18.
Rear is marked 130x90x15 nylon 3 plies, and it also has the raised DOT label on it. I have put these to no stress test, rain or tough cornering. Braking seems suitable on the dry, most of my practices from 110 (true), since it takes a while to wind up to 120 (GPS), the top. #81

hello Boys
I read some stuff about the Lifan 250 in a different area on this forum. I bought the Lifan V Twin 250 engine and mounted it on my old Platinum frame. Lost the old engine to the flood in Bangkok. Its been a Hen's tooth getting the info but Im almost finished. Dont go to the Assembly Plant in Amata Rayong. They get a little nervous. Go to or call the Bangkok office. I have the contact Name and number of the Thai guy that handles the parts and etc. He is easy to work with but doesnt speak English. So, get your questions translated into Thai by the wife or Khun Noi at the pub first. any farang questions let me know. #82

1 more thing on Lifan V twin 250
Unless your in the cold / mountains , Disconnect the Crankcase vent line...plug the line...buy a another piece of hose...route that new hose down to the street...unless you wanna be cleaning the carburetor 3-4 times a year maybe more. The crank case vent line is routed to a pre heat metal box made onto the frame under the gas tank and has no filter so you are getting unfiltered crankcase vapors straight into the carburetor. I know its part of the emission controls and doubles as a preheat for the air intake buts its a crappy design and it will give you a ton headaches in the future. The old style crankcase lines like this, in the early years, were first ran to the inlet air filter side. Id rather wash/replace an air filter than deal with a carburetor. If you are good with Glue and a drill, you can reroute the crankcase line so its in front of the intake air filter and still maintain emission standards. #83
