Firstly as this is my first post i would like to say hello to everyone.
I live in Dubai and have just been given a Lifan Quad bike in very good condition, but no information on it. No idea which model Quad as I have not found an ID plate anywhere yet.
The engine serial number is Lifan 163ML 72084096.

Looking on the internet the 163 ML could be either 200cc or 250 cc.
manual gearbox with internal reverse, water cooled, electronic ignition,electric start.

Can anyone advise which size engine this is and best spec oil to put in it.
Also can anyone point me in the direction of a workshop manual for the quad and/or engine that is available for download.

many thanks and hope to talk to you all again soon.
Darryl

yeah straight 30 will be fine heck even 10w30 works in a pinch and there usually is NO filter

 

Thanks for the answers guys.
I used the engine identifier sticky at the top of the forum page and the engine is identified as a 250 cc, but I did notice on the cylinder head, 197cm, which means it is a 200cc engine, though it does have 250 cc parts like the starter fitted.
Once I replace all the water hoses I can start it up and see what it runs like.
