CT110 conversion - Lifan 125...

[Postie]

Hi all,

Awesome site congrats to all involved!!

First up I don't have a mini, but i do have a postie bike!! Does anyone know if the lifan 125 motors will just "drop in".

And if so I'll will need to change all the electics as well?

Postie bike runs a 12v system. What about the lifans?

Cheers all.

Postie bikes.... Step thru or step aside!

Hey mate, i'm pretty sure Honda CT110 motor is the same mounts, although i would wait for someone to confirm this, if i am right then it should drop straight in.

I would recommend changing the electronics over. I would love to see whether this can be done, might have to get myself a Lifan fully worked and get a CT110 with rego and gear it up for highway riding lol.

Oh and yeh lifan is 12volt

Tired motor.....

hey thanks for the info!

The CT was a real postmans and when i got hold of it, it had 30k on the clock! Now she's starting to struggle at 33k and due for a new set of rings.

But boys being boys I want the fastest, wheel standing tyre smoking laughable postie bike around!!

To oversize the cylinder and associated parts It will be cheaper to buy and fit a Lifan or some such. Even with new electrics...

Thanks for your help I'll let you know when it's finshed!!

thanks, but I'll stick with the lifan mod! It's still my daily commuter and the 200 is a vertical mounted engine? so be a bit harder to pass off as a 110.

thanks anyway.

You'll have to get a lifan with a lighting coil or electric start if you want to keep the 12V... They are the same mounts just that you wont have the overdrive some of the postie bikes have.. but the 4speed box with the right gearing will problly out perform the 110 ct motor IMO.

I'm working on a CT70 at the moment and plan on getting rid of the 6v motor and putting in a Jailing 125, or Lifan.
