The exhaust system of the Lifan LF250-B is compatible with the Yamaha Virago 250 (XV250) or the Yamaha V-Star 250 (XVS250) and you can therefore also look for aftermarket exhaust systems for this two motorcycles.

You maybe in luck, as Yamaha Thailand has parts for the 1997 Yamaha Virago 250 (XV250S) on stock. So it's possible with the right information to order parts for the Yamaha Virago 250 in Thailand.

But the first problem starts when you try to order an exhaust system for the Virago 250, as not much people will know that Yamaha Thailand has stock for this motorcycle, so it's best that you order your pats with the parts numbers used by the Yamaha Thailand. Therefore we have attached with this post the Thai and English page of the Yamaha Virago 250 parts catalog for the exhaust system.

Another advice I can give, you should be looking for a Japanese or Australian exhaust manufacturer. Made in another ASEAN country, China or even India is also something should should consider. It has everything to do with import duty.

Regular import duty on motorcycle parts is 30% over the invoice plus additional 7% Thai VAT. Importing motorcycle parts from the above countries will be 0% import duty. Of course you best ask the company to write “Product under Free-Trade Agreement, certified made in Japan”, of course when the product is made in another country say China it should be “China”

Another advice is to prepay the shipping cost and let them send the product without shipping cost on the invoice.

Thanks, that is something to consider, especially as a FI version would be much preferred!!
