Anyone know if you can run Lifan GPX140s a few degrees angled? No so much that carb issues would arise but oil flow or splash lubrication a factor here? I only see them mounted w/ the crank case horizontal... Just wondering. I got alot of clearance below the bike, not so much between the head and the tire. Wouldn't mind a lower center of gravity either.

You shouldn't have any problems. Mine is angled up. I had serious carb issues but I blame that on the carb.

How sever of an angle before your carb stopped working? And how sever are did you mount it? think 25 degrees is too server if i built a space plate to re-angle the carb? Pics?

i get my bike high in a wheelie with the carb basically horizontal and it never stumbes and as for oil starvation, i dont think you have to worry about that either
