that bike rips . it honestly has me wanting another dirt bike. . kayo has my vote for sure . hey Matt .......till next time get up ,get out their and get after it

[@RattleCanCustoms]

Its awesome for sure!

[@ronjefferson212]

Kayo dirtbikes are great for there money I absolutely love mine

[@Jboost412]

Bike looks sounds great! The silencer on the back reminds me of the akro’s coming from China all over eBay/amazon which really worked great...I left the clone akro on and sold my yoshi

[@matt787]

nice review. been looking for a descent review of this model, or any of the Kayo bikes for months and they're all from russia or india it seems lol.

[@parrottmatt23]

Yea thats my bike, it rides pretty damn good. Just rode it in the snow Saturday and was really stable for snow

[@mitsu_lancer]

This is 2021 , dealers bring 2020 bikes, i have one for my son T2 230, great bike for begginers, i just paid 2500 and save money, same model KTM...

[@GratefulOverlander]

Matt. Your stupid is shining through. This company has been around over 20 years, owned by the main engine engineer that left Honda to start the company! KTM frames, Honda engines, and a solid reputation for many many years. So, what the fuck exactly have you been trying to research for months?? Stop being scared and go buy one. Who cares what country the BOL comes from. (That's stand for Bill of Lading btw), that way you dont have to go research it, lmao

[@andyroo3022]

Great review. I reckon the Bike is great for the money. If your not going to race it, just to ride for fun and keep the cost down, why not.

[@RattleCanCustoms]

There’s actually a video just out of racing it lol

[@ronjefferson212]

Love my Kayo best bike for the money

[@parrottmatt23]

Anytime!

Has anybody got a chance to check out the k-6 EFI I'm purchasing one next week I'm 6 ft and 185 lb should it be a good fit

[@claudemarchand1196]

you have to ask if you fit? have you see the bike. just sit on it and figure it out. are you mentally challenged. if so then I understand.

I’m gonna get a kayo 2016 t250r

“I might be riding a Chinese bike but I’m using a GoPro Dammit”. Lol also made in China.

Yeah, and the Apple computer I'm watching this on, is also made in china. Oh well. Lol

[@renegadecampervan5017]

$2600 Australian bucks It's soooo cheap. I think I'll get one . Little bit of a downgrade from my duacti diavel.

What is the reliability of this? Would you be comfortable taking this in the mountains?

[@RattleCanCustoms]

We have and it did great!

[@trevorjameson3213]

These Kayo bikes are turning out to be very reliable and well-built, as time goes on and more people buy them, and aren't having any major problems. So yeah should be good to go, for taking in the mountains.

[@claudemarchand1196]

if the engine last riding to the base , the mountain can not be higher than 200 feet. ha ha ha.

wth was rattling on that thing?

[@danschroeder6228]

I have been researching these and came across your video. Great video, but the displacement is 223cc not the 250 that you said.

By the time we caught the mistake it was too late! Lol

[@danschroeder6228]

@@RattleCanCustoms any idea what the difference is between the k2 and the t2? I see different measurements between the two, but wonder if they are built for different purposes and hold up different.

@@danschroeder6228 I have absolutely no idea lol

[@danschroeder6228]

@@RattleCanCustoms I was able to get some info. The t2 you have had a linked rear suspension, the newer k2 does not. Unless they did some extensive R and D, the t2 is going to handle and ride much better.

[@michaeleverett7666]

Just bought 2 of these for my son and I. About 20 hours in and we are loving them. Looking to change the oil...what type of oil do you recommend? Where can I find a filter?

[@Jboost412]

10w 40/20w40 ish sf rated motorcycle oil works fine for these preferably synthetic

[@shiftyy529]

I use 10 40 mineral but I’m still running piston in so you could most likely go with 10 40 semi synthetic or full synthetic, if you want just go to local motorbike shop and ask them what they recommend.

[@SerratedMobius]

"Pretty sure that was a cow. ANYWAY!" LOLOLOL

[@parrottmatt23]

Yea those people had I baby cow in there back yard. I had to go back and see it for my self to make sure. Must have been a rescue

[@franknapolitano9144]

How is the Kayo running now in 2022 ? Any issues ?

[@RattleCanCustoms]

Still runs like a top!

[@MotoCityTV]

These Kayo bikes are pretty impressive! We just rode 4 of them back to back! K2, K4, K6-EFI and the KT250 Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qonRkmSEpqt6jKM

[@RattleCanCustoms]

We've only had the pleasure of riding the T2 so far. Bet the K6 and EFI were a handful!

[@groberts920]

shot in the dark here, just got a TT140 and want to do some upgrades have you came across a site that has Kayo aftermarket parts?

[@RattleCanCustoms]

It all depends on what you’re looking for. Most thing we just measure and compare, specifically on sites like Amazon and eBay. Calipers are your friend! Lol

[@chrisdavis3952]

Would you say that the Kayo 140 would be just as reliable?

[@RattleCanCustoms]

As long as you keep up with regular maintenance, no reason it shouldn’t be.

[@ronjefferson212]

You will love the bike

[@gioflores96]

What’s the top speed on this thing and are you able to make it street legal?

[@parrottmatt23]

About 56mph with stock gearing and tire size. But if you want to make it street legal the t4 is street legal, 6spd And able to do just about 70 mph

[@RattleCanCustoms]

Current top speed is 56 on GPS with stock gearing. As far as street legal, havent really looked into it. Pretty sure it would need turn signals, brake light, etc.

[@takingcorners6676]

What you think about Kayo K2 250 4t 2021?

[@RattleCanCustoms]

Still trying to find one in stock locally! Working hard to have a new review up soon!

[@trevorjameson3213]

@@RattleCanCustoms They have three dealerships here in DFW area now, availability here at least is very good!

[@Cryzk_]

Hoping you'll have some idea on this... I'm planning on getting a T2 and wanna get a Speedometer for it, would you have any idea what models would work for the T2. Trail Tech Vapor Gauge says it works for the Honda CRF250 so Im assuming it should work on the T2 but idk specifics. Thanks if you see this

[@RattleCanCustoms]

It all depends on if your wheel is set up for a speedo hub or not. You could get a universal one that uses magnets, but it’s a gamble on it working properly. Then you would need to make a bracket for the pickup. Hope this helps!

[@Cryzk_]

@@RattleCanCustoms Thanks for the reply... This helps a lot, I'm very new to this side of motorcycles so Ill definitely do some research.

Did you have to tear it down and grease bearings and tighten all bolts, spokes etc before you could ride it? I've been hearing thats an issue with most of the bargain China bikes.

No. Just one oil change and a re jet the carb and it was all good

Scouting around sites and countries besides Alibaba and Made-in-China.com (where you can get 560 bucks per bike but there's always a catch... have to buy 5 or more units). I found it once, surely I'll find it again. Seems like every country receive certain type of Chinese bikes. Philippines get Skygo, Nepal gets Asian Beast (25 hp 250) and some others and Kayo, Central and South America has Sineray and several others. Better build & design than what US allows in states or what supplier let's in.

From all the reviews I've read, and videos from reputable places, these bikes aren't the usual chinese junk. They're actually quite good. Xhongshen engines which are known to be very reliable, copies of old Honda engines, sort of like Lifan engines which are also good.
