That is awesome.

Riding the ceeber [great little road bike] down to Ko Chang, Monday. [yes not North but South] Have booked a 700/night resort @ Lonely Beach. Looks nice: pool, bar, restaurant, wifi, air con. 5 5 ????

Boost boost boost. Can never have enough of those spike proteins in our tissues. Especially pregnant women. Trust Phyzer & government. Always.

Ordered a new chain. Same. Will ∂ w/ new sprocket.

Recently, changed the heavy tires on the Lifan-X-200 to much smaller, lighter models. Noticing better acceleration and braking & livelier handling. ???? The KTM Duke 200 has Perelli Diablo Rossi Sport [now 5100baht mounted ] F 110/70-17 tires on 3” rim R 140/70-17 on 4” rim. Good tread but cracking side-wall. ~3 y/o.; 10Kkm. Will be changing to fresh-from-the-VeeRubber-press, in 3-weeks: F 100/80 on the 3” rims R 130/70 & on the 4” rims VRM-251 [B2150 delivered,] Rain-tires. Cool looking.

So after riding around N MHS prov for a couple of days, returned to CM Tues eve. Wed. [Sept 7] decided to try to ride the Lifan over Doi Sutep mountain, [E —> W] Wanted to ride down one of the dirt roads to hit Saemong loop. That didn’t work out so well. The road deteriorated real bad and papa eventually ended on a single track. Became exhausted, over-heated. Had to lie down for a half hour. But ants. Persevered & finally came out at CM. Was pretty worried for a while. Enduro. 5 5

papa can't, but Elon Musk [x-moto man] and humble others could & have. Not a big deal. papa saw that discussion. have actually seen a beat-up early -200 running with all the smart-stuff gone. Just basics: lights, pumps, fan, Ignition, starter, ecu, ... papa was shocked.! Guy said you just needed to remember to put gas in it, as no odo nor gauge. Kinda cool.

unplug it, it will.

5 5 & [373.2cc] & You can remove the whole instrument/ control cluster thing and it will run. Seen it.

Agree. Reasons a Z-400 sucks: 1. is a Kawasaki. 2. is a twin. 3. is lightweight vs a 650 4. outperforms KTM 390. Yucky .!! ????

357 mag would render it scrap.

Depends on the bullet.

Had a Duke 200 for a few years now. Likey. Filters & such available, but good luck on KTM parts.

Z-400.? https://www.kaidee.com/product-365694186

They will be re-incarnated in 7-10 days so ... .

Mellow.

Spambrain believe any thing. smh

Stop dropping.? Great advice. Why nobody tell me before. Would have saved plenty.!

KMK Did 15km loop. First time in 2 weeks. Getting muddy &c.

Rode my dirt bike in the mud,' honoring HRM Chuck. 15mph.

Farange think too mut.

This thread answers that question, silly goose.
