Hi , thanks for the great videos. Just wondered what handguards you're running. Thanks

[@carls2354]

Thanks for your review of the Kayo dirt bikes.

China has stepped their game up on a lot of their bikes from when they first came into the country and the price is well worth it

My 21 K4 has been excellent, fires right up and has gotten me everywhere I want to go. The only downside is aftermarket parts. My front wheel is approaching needing replacement. Do you happen to have any insight on what would work? Whygostock has the whole assembly but if I can find a wheel and lace myself… can save money and potentially get a better wheel. OEM seems really soft to me…

[@OhioEnduro]

@DBRONCOSfan For some reason the OEM parts are built stronger now than the 2021's. I had to replace my rear wheel for the same reason. The new rim I ordered was OEM but definitely built stronger than what was OEM on my bike. It has a different bearing/spacer setup that's better designed now. Honestly if you can save money and do it yourself. I would recommend it just because the aftermarket parts are slime to none right now for the K4. I struggle to find anything aftermarket for it. I usually just order parts for the bike that the K4 is designed after and retrofit it to the k4. Same for bearings. You're better off to cross reference what they come with and find a reliable source for the parts. Iron Pony takes forever to get parts from kayo (2-6 weeks for wait time) And half the time they never get all the parts in, I don't know if it's Kayo not filling orders or iron pony not understanding what's on the order. I'd say string the rim yourself and save the headache. I love my k4 and the other kayo I've ridden are excellent. The parts market leaves much to be desired!

[@DBRONCOSfan]

@@OhioEnduro May I ask what bike is it designed after? I’ve seen on whygostock’s website that Kayo updated the rear wheel. It is actually listed as updated, nothing for the front though. Not sure what is going on with orders but it seems it is Kayo… whygostock says Kayo is taking 3 weeks to deliver parts to them. I might roll the dice on a 21x1.60 wheel and spokes from rocky mountain atv. Their return policy is quite good.

i have 1 k2 2023 it runs better than my 2017 yamaha xt 250, seems a lot more power, i switch out the 30 mm nibby carborator

[@HunterbHunts]

I have a dealership near me selling a used 230 with 20 hours for 1800. They also have a 250 for 2500 because its on sale. What would you recommend i get from the two?

[@OhioEnduro]

@HunterbHunts Honestly it just depends on how tall you are, I've ridden both hard. And there's little power differences just the height and weight of the k4 is higher. The k4 has adjustable suspension the k2 does not. if you're a little on the tall side like me I'd go with the k4.

[@MrFuzziiWuzzii]

Was it at Pine Grove Yamaha?

[@MrFuzziiWuzzii]

What exhaust did you buy for the K2? And what keys did you use? My K2 needs the choke for like the first two minutes and needs the idle up higher than I think it should be to remain at idle. Very lightly used 2022.

[@OhioEnduro]

@MrFuzziiWuzzii Just a slip on exhaust, and rejet the carburetor for a better idle and some more power. They come pretty tame from factory. Just depends on where you live too, you could need a different idle jet for it to idle properly

[@MrFuzziiWuzzii]

@OhioEnduro Word just like a generic slip on from eBay or something? Also where did you get the graphics kit?

[@zchilli0808]

I’m in Ohio, which trail is this? Thanks

I looked close at a k2 230 at a dealer and the build quality sucks. The k6 looks ok, but I am choosing to stay away. I looked at Yamaha and Kawasaki bikes and the ones made in Indonesia or Thailand do not compare to the ones made in Japan, not even close. Old school Japan bikes or new Japan bikes are the way to go. Not saying you can't have fun on these China bikes, but for how long is the question. I would break a k2 in half pretty quick, that's for sure. The damaged wheel thing I see a lot on these China bikes. I have been riding for 30 years, and I've never damaged a DID or Excel wheel. Just saying. To each his own I suppose.

[@offroadaddict2822]

I hate to be the bearer of reality bud but if you’ve spent 30 years ripping and haven’t bent or cracked a did or excel rim than you don’t ride nearly hard enough to break one of these Kayo frames. I’m only 21 myself and I’ve bent 3 sets of did rims just doing hard enduro up untouched valleys an the excel on my 125 currently needs replaced in the front due to me beating it off rocks I suppose can’t really say what put all the dings in this rim I’ve been fairly gentle on this bike
