Z160 HO vs Lifan 150

[Mckenna22]

Anyone know the difference besides the obvious displacement differences.
Looking to buy a new motor soon don't know which one to get.
Any info?

well the 155z is a little bit better in my personal apinion, little more power, better clutch, tho strengh about same, but if your thinking of buying the 155z to fit to a postiebike dont!, the breaver pipe block at the top of the engine dont clear the frame and its a BIG muck around trying to get it to seat rite, will cost you a heap time money an hassal oposed to puting a lifan/xy in, brackets can be purched from coffsmotorsports for $85 but wont work with the 155z as found out, just a heads up to any1 thinking of doing this as i wish i got the xy now.

The 160HO(155z) has a closer ratio box than the lifan 150, and the 155 has heaps more aftermarket bits and pieces(cam and head upgrades) i had a lifan 150 and it just lost 2nd gear altogether, so i stripped the engine and there was no prob, the gear selector tumbler had a notch in it and i was told there was quite a few people around with the same prob(and plenty of people that would never have had a problem), not wanting anymore dramas i purchased a 155z and 3yrs later and one top end rebuild it has been awesome and never looked back.

So it's a bit more durable?
How much torque/power difference?

I'd defs got the GPX over lifan man, speaking from experience of having both, the GPX has a ton more power, de to the klx style head mainly. Also as far as reliability a stock GPX will last yonks man if you give it the proper treatment
