yes bothe reads 171 the honda shop in town sales lifan bike the guy told us
that the vbike motors are lifan motors and cylons of honda in that true

 

i know it is the same as honda the parts iner change but is the lifan part of honda?

 

Thanks for checking you numbers SSGT Tanner. I don't think Lifan is part of Honda, but possibly Lifan uses old Honda designs that have expired patents.

Well it appears that your Vbikes that have the newer badges on the swingarm and say 229cc have the same model engine, 171FMM, as the ones that say 197cc. That is good to know. That confirms we all have at least a 229cc to 238cc engines in our Vbike V4S'. I guess that verifies that the older badges are mislabeled.

Do you know what parts are interchagable with the Honda engine? If so we could start compiling a list of parts that fit the Vbike 250 engine.

 

I was reading the specs on the jetmoto 250 and they state theres are 229cc.I would guess that the vbikes are probly the same?

 

Careful, careful, those those Jet guys are sensitive when it comes to there ATVs being compared to others.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Just kidding Kman, I think you correct about the Jet 250 engine and the Vbike engine being the same engine with the exception of the oil cooler and both being rebadged on the side covers. I can't imagine the Jet engine not being a Lifan, Jetmoto does have quality China products.

 

my engine number is the 171FMM.just checked it after not washing bike for last 3 days

 

Thats good split, after the info SSGT Tanner provided I am 100% confident that we all have an engine that is larger than 197cc.

Here is a photo of a Jetmoto 250 engine. Sure looks the same. I am almost positive it's the same engine. I just checked Jetmoto's web site parts department and they list the clutch assembly for it as a Lifan 250 clutch kit.

 

I just talked to a lifan rep he told me that lifan copys honda engines honda parts
will enter change the part numbers on the parts will cross over to honda parts

 

Very interesting. I just wonder which Honda engine I need to tell the Honda shop I need parts for. Hmmm, I looked up the Honda CG250 but didn't come up with anything.

I wonder if the Lifan rep you talked to could tell you which Honda engine.

 

I will call and ask he tomarrow i do know that we put a lifan 200cc motor on a 85 honda 200x atc it fit right in bolted rite up noproblems he even put sum of the honda parts in the engine he put the intake and carb on it and it run nice
