Is there a Chinese motocross bike?

How did you figure out which FMF pipe would fit it? I’m getting the K6-R and want an aftermarket pipe.

I'm a GenX'er whose riden for decades. I've owned several dirtbikes/ATVs/street bikes over the years and have worked on dirtbikes professionally for a couple decades. All that said, I just picked up a Kayo last month. I'm a 2 stroke guy, so I got the KT250. It has many of the same parts, suspension as your K6R. I think the bike is incredible. It's a fantastic woods bike. The quality is on par with any make.

I agree with you that's why I went and got one. Just looking to upgrade the springs for my 230lb rider weight. Have any idea on what what size the fastace shock and fork springs are?

Thank you for this video. I brought a 2021 k4 kayo dirt bike and I love it too. It's my first bike and I plan on taking very good care of it!

[@richardpiotrowski1043]

I have 2 of the Kayos... A K2 230 that I'm abusing horrendously in our desert heat... 800÷ miles in a couple of months and no mechanicals yet... (Think 6 bikes in rotation before you say "that's not much.") The other is a KT 250. It is a sweet riding bike...typical 2-stroke complaint...low mpg. The (smart. if true) rumors I've heard is that they are going to remain '21 models so they can keep selling into CA as red sticker. (Non CARB compliant bikes sold into CA are private land only starting with '22 models.) One complaint, in general, would be a bash plates, stock, on bikes they are pushing as enduros.

[@tieoneon1614]

I was wondering bout the 2 stroke, I bet its a sweet bike a bit different look than the GPX and less $. I like the black frame. I got the 250 EFI, and it took a bit of tinkering but its the Unicorn Bike iv been looking for after coming from a klx250, yz250fx and crf450x. This motor has crazy torque, and the dohc upgrade really pulls hard in the upper rpms but super linear power from idle to redline. Actually feels like +30hp like claimed. Great mpg, goes over 100 miles on 1.9g and never flames out, tractors thru everything. Suspension prefers faster riding, but Im 210lbs and the clickers comfy for slow enduro. I got a Acerbis skidplate on today, but took heavily modifications LOL. My biggest issue was just like GPX efi bikes, mine came with injector clogged. Tried cleaning it, but asked dealer to just get me a new one and he did, for free on the warranty. I can tell the forks are heavy, but I can run a lot more sag and front still steers. I went to buy a '21wr250f, but glad i didnt. This bike is better for trails/light dual sport and half the price too.

How do you rebuild the engine on a bike like this? Or get spare parts? Dealer?? I hope they don’t quit making them in 5 years and then don’t have a way to replace parts. The price point has me intrigued. How much slower is it than the 250 competitors?

[@jessemccollum937]

Is that just an FMF slip on? What model was it meant for?

[@tieoneon1614]

Hey Joe, didnt want to get too involved on the GPX page about the K6's LOL. But curious bout how your carb'd motor delivers power. Is it a high revving? So far the EFI has been impressive low/mid rpm power that signs off at higher rpm. Im unsure if i cleaned the injector/filters properly, after so the throttle was definitely smoother and it revved out a little farther and smoother but Im still wondering if its thats how this motor was meant or if i still have a fuel line clog?

[@joehenner9769]

I’ll have to look at the page haven’t looked since the first day it was posted. When it was stock it liked to rev and stay around 8900 I have a 4 map cdi on it now and she will sing 10,000 all day long

@@joehenner9769 I was the guy posted bout thanking u and a few others for all the info past few years, and cleaning the injector.

[@tieoneon1614]

Thanks Joe, You are the only videos out with the new '21 Kayo K6's. I went and looked at the K6 EFI enduro model last weekend. I spent an hour going over it, blown away by the quality and looks fantastic + needs NOTHING to get out and ride. And it feels lighter than a '21 WR250F Iv been looking at. Side by side with the air cooled model its lighter than that also. Im probably goin back to get it soon, dealer is actually letting me ride it first. Wonder why the K6-R went with a carb?? And how much more power do these new DOHC motors make over the single NC250? Been hearing rumors its well over 30hp. My only concern is the EFI itself, there was no writing on it. Assuming its Delphi like GPX is using and not the Rojo units from the past that had issues. Only thing Im adding for personal preference is a Trail Tech vapor and spark arrestor if its loud. Im excited, feel like I found a Unicorn Bike exactly what I want and only $4999 for that model vs over $10k out the door for the WR that has snatchy throttle and clutch still drags like the '15 models i had.

[@joehenner9769]

It is rojo efi but not the same as what GPX was using Kayo has been using the efi on there bikes since 2011 in other countries so they have it figured out and the old nc250:is 25hp this new motor is over 30

[@tieoneon1614]

@@joehenner9769 Picked it up tonight after test riding it. The EFI is spot on, starts easy and doesnt stall, backfire, or even chug when stuffed in a higher gear. Super responsive but not snatchy like my Yamaha's. Havent got to open it up yet, gonna do an easy hour of break in first. My title says 29.5hp which is perfect for a woods/trail bike and only 256lbs
