Lifan 110cc replacement engine w/71 ct70

Will this Lifan engine drop right in to the Ct70?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lifan...spagenameZWDVW
Will all the electrical stuff hook right up?

Also, where's the best place to get motard tires?

Thanks

you can get street tires at
www.scooterpartsdirect.com

also dr.atv sells some tires for 19 bucks each, he doesn't list the brand but they're cheap.

You'll also have to upgrade the wiring and lights to 12V, as the electrical system on the CT70 is only a 6V system.

For a little more $ you can have this nice little motor. I have this in 1TrikZB. Top speed so far is 72.3 and with no mods other than a TB CDI.

Can't you just swap the stator & flywheel off of the stock motor?

Why would you want to? 12v vs 6v??? Go 12v, change a couple of bulbs, rectifier, install CDI, no more points and condenser. Pick a 35 watt halogen bulb from DrATV and have real headlight.

I'm liking that Zongshen 125cc better than the 110cc lifan. How hard is it to swap it over to 12V? I'm mechanically challenged, but I would like to be able to do it myself.

I really like this motor. The black chrome is nice and the 12-way adapter is a cool bonus. It does have the crank mounted clutch, so it has to be in neutral to start.

It has a 23/27 valves, 54x54 bore/stroke, bigger 20mm counter shaft so you need the appropriate counter sprockets, and a ring-style stator, like the ZB, not a half lighting coil and half ignition setup. Very robust so far. I am running a dual headlights (65watts total) and it keep them lit up. And the Flywheel is actually 4oz lighter than the one in my 110 zongshen.

I haven't had any tranny issues either. I did dino based oil for the break-in and now running full synthetic. I ride street, so I do not know what would happen after grabbing 10-20 feet of air like the motard/pitbike races. But high rev shifting up and down, no problems. Matt (the seller) is a great guy to deal with too.

he talking about the seller on ebay, he provided a link in one of his post on this thread. I can't wait to get mine, it hopefully should be here in a few days. To convert over to 12v you need a 12volt motor, and just change over your bulbs, battery, and pick up a 12v rectifier. Dr atv has pics and diagrams for the conversion for putting a chinese motor in these older bikes.
