There is a Yahoo group on this subject at: It has lots of info in the files and photos section. The end result though is great and much less expensive than a new bike. Putting a Lifan engine into a CT is easy enough if you have some mechanical experience but would be a major undertaking for a non mechanic. What do you think? Any advice and real world experience would be great to hear. The information I have found has been more of the "How to turn your CRF70 into a wheelie monster that will get you a bunch of dates for you Middle School dance." I have been reading all over the internet for info but have not found a ton of information on the CT in particular or any other bike that people are riding on the street. ATV and seem to be in between a 125 and 140 motor. kick start (definetly) and electric start (a bonus but not required) able to run headlight, turn signals, tail/brake light 55-60 mph comfortable for 20-30 minutes at a time (I am 5' 10" 185 lbs.) So here is my criteria with all of that in mind on what I would like out of my CT motor: The most offroad I would be getting into with it would be fire trails and gravel roads as I have other bikes for dirt work. This bike for me would be 75% on road so not having the high low tranny is not a problem as from what I read you don't miss it with how good these other motors are anyways. I know guys have been throwing Lifan and other "off brand" motors on these babies with really great results and they have seemingly been very reliable. The bike is very basic and low tech which I am all about. ![]() So my gears start turning and I start thinking about how much I love my stock CT90 and how versatile it is. I was dead set on getting a Grom when they are available but before I do I am exploring other options that may be less expensive, I may enjoy even more, and are more practical for me.
