Needing a good quality engine!!

[1980z50j]

Im looking to upgrade my Genuine Thumpstar with a new engine and I was wondering if Lifans are good quality engines? i know there is alot of crap chinese engines and parts out there so im just trying to steer clear of them. I was looking at this:

LIFAN 140CC OIL COOL ENGINE 1P55FMJ DIRT PITBIKE OUTLAW - eBay, Bike Parts, Motorcycle Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 10-Aug-10 17:12:35 AEST)

Will this bolt straight into my bike

Any other Good quality engines i should be looking at?

Thanks heaps!

Home Page - DHZ Mini Moto

Im looking to spend at the most probs $600. Im looking for something of Genuine Thumpstar (they are called terra-moto now arent they) or MotoVert quailty. Are Lifans that good quality? Thanks for the replies.

hah thats wayyyyy out of my price range but im sure it hoots!

REAL genuine thumpsta parts can be expensive (or atleast more expensive then stuff from say DHZ or RevMX)...

lifans are pretty crappy like there ok but that wouldnt be my first choice... for around 600$ you can get a z160, i just bought one and so far im very happy with it overall

New 2010 PitsterPro z160 HO Engine, 6 Plate HD Clutch, Rotor Kit Support Lighting & Battery Charging, Mikuni 30mm Carby - DHZ Mini Moto

ok yer I wasnt sure about the lifans, that 160cc looks good is there a model simmilar i can get in a 140? just thinking i can save a bit of cash that way and a 140 is all I need. Thanks

 

[dub_88n]

keep in mind these bolt onto a crf50 style engine mounts...

heres a list of what they have Engines - DHZ Mini Moto

 

[1980z50j]

Ok great thanks for that, by the looks of it the pitsterpro engines look alot better quality than the zonshen and lifan engines. is that right?

 

[dub_88n]

some pitserpro use zongshen except they just put there own transformer symbol on it instead of the "zonshen" or what ever lable... but zongshen in my opinion are much better then lifan

 

[1980z50j]

ahh ok i have found this on eBay:

NEW OUTLAW 140CC ZONGSHEN OIL COOLED ENGINE, 1P56YMJ - eBay, Bike Parts, Motorcycle Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Jul-10 14:59:56 AEST)

Its alot more in my budget. How does a Zongshen compare to a Jialing engine? I Know Motovert use Jialing engines so they must be good. Im pretty much after a 140cc engine that is up to Thumpstar/Motovert stanards.

One more thing are Pitster pros a good pit bike like Thumpstar and Motovert? Because I know they are alot of chinese imposters out there and its hard to figure out which are good and which aren't.

Thanks heaps for your help by the way

not bad, i've got one, and dub had one until he replaced it, he had no problems i had problems but only with carby issues not the actual engine.. no one seems to have blown one up or anything so yeah, if they were **** you would have heard about it already lol

Awk great, thanks heaps guys

 

[dub_88n]

no worries mate.. any more questions ask away

 

[DHZ_XR8cing]

In my opinion pitster pro's are by far up there with the best if not the best.

 

[1980z50j]

Does the motovert expert (140cc) run a Zongshen engine? as its called a 140cc MOTOVERT OUTLAW ENGINE and the zongshen 140 engine I was looking at on ebay is also called an "outlaw"??

 

[Peter1230]

the pitster pro engine is a zongshen.

all are good lifan, zongshen Gpx etc.. just dont get something without a branded engine case to keep it safe lol.
what about a GPX 125?

Lifan 140s are madd little engines for the money
