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
Thanks for the honest review. Been looking at cheaper options for a starter bike.
Anytime!
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
Its awesome for sure!
Kayo dirtbikes are great for there money I absolutely love mine
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.
There’s actually a video just out of racing it lol
Love the video 👍🏿
Love my Kayo best bike for the money
Right
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.
Yea thats my bike, it rides pretty damn good. Just rode it in the snow Saturday and was really stable for snow
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...
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
lolled at the nope sasquatch got a k1 on the way looks like a good bike cheers from aus
What’s the big differences between the t2 and k2
Hey I just smashed my Barrel off the bike and need a new one. Have found some but not sure if this bike needs a 4 wire or 5 wire ignition?
Looks like a cool bike.
It is! The review doesn't do it justice, honestly. I was blown away.
wth was rattling on that thing?
You will love the bike
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?
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
Is it t2 250 good for daily use ?
In my country it it street legal
I’m gonna get a kayo 2016 t250r
If you flip up the foot peg you get a full kick start stroke
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?
10w 40/20w40 ish sf rated motorcycle oil works fine for these preferably synthetic
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.
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
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.
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
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!
@@RattleCanCustoms Thanks for the reply... This helps a lot, I'm very new to this side of motorcycles so Ill definitely do some research.
@@Cryzk_ hey no problem!
get a digital meter
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
@@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
@@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.
@@danschroeder6228 that’s some good info! Much appreciated!
How is the Kayo running now in 2022 ? Any issues ?
Still runs like a top!
Would you say that the Kayo 140 would be just as reliable?
As long as you keep up with regular maintenance, no reason it shouldn’t be.
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
What you think about Kayo K2 250 4t 2021?
Still trying to find one in stock locally!
Working hard to have a new review up soon!
@@RattleCanCustoms They have three dealerships here in DFW area now, availability here at least is very good!
What’s the top speed on this thing and are you able to make it street legal?
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
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.
What is the reliability of this? Would you be comfortable taking this in the mountains?
We have and it did great!
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.
if the engine last riding to the base , the mountain can not be higher than 200 feet. ha ha ha.
"Pretty sure that was a cow. ANYWAY!" LOLOLOL
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
$2600 Australian bucks
It's soooo cheap.
I think I'll get one .
Little bit of a downgrade from my duacti diavel.
Maybe a little lol but solid bike still!
People who shamelessly try to brag about what they have, typically don't own what they claim to
@@suprajet righto sunshine
Question is who is selling? Ran across add with T2, T4, K6R. T4 selling 1688 us dollars but in Australia. Glad to see more models coming in with more ponies. Bikes here are 18 hp or less (Bashan, TT250, Orion, RTE250, Hawks. Would like to see bigger bikes. Like the sound.
I think the plants were shut down for a time due to COVID
Hey mate, can you share the link to the add that you found? I'm in Australia and haven't come across any that cheap. Cheers
@@fernyfensom didn't save link. 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.
@@fernyfensom Assassin has Kayo for 1799... just got online so I'm looking.
Well right now they are gearing up for the 2021 lineup with a few 2stroke models and a some efi models. Even a 300cc efi race quad
I have a question, who is the guy who works for 12 year for honda and create kayo brand? i cant understand the name something like dear bise 0:43
you wont find it. its all lies.
i met him in china in October 2023, so it wasnt a lie after all@@claudemarchand1196
Where i can find , same track rpm...any help
Sorry, what is your question?
@@RattleCanCustomshi, i want buy same device to see hours...where can i find
@@mitsu_lancer amazon tachometer and hour meter
@@RattleCanCustoms ok thank you...what kind a brand is
where in Ohio?
Near lancaster
Can you change the graphics kit on it?
Not yet, I'm actually just going to vinyl wrap the plastics. But kayo is actively working on it
@@parrottmatt23 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? How do I know which filter?
@@michaeleverett7666 well the filter is a screen built into the drain plug so your good there. Just out in a good 10w40 with wet clutch additives. I think I did almost 2qts but just check your dipstick
@@parrottmatt23 hey my back brake pedal came off do you know anywhere I can get a new one or any that will fit by any chance?
@@imnotsure5267 I'm not sure yet what parts interchange for the rear brake, but if you find a dealer for kayo they have all parts in stock right at the store
“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
You still happy with your purchase?
Have one. It’s very great would recommend for beginners
Oh yea, so happy I took it out in the snow. Living in ohio kinda sucks for winter riding
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: th-cam.com/video/tXna1NqFGVA/w-d-xo.html
We've only had the pleasure of riding the T2 so far. Bet the K6 and EFI were a handful!
At what hours do they fall apart? 😄
you never know
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.
What’s the top speed ?
The way its geared now barely 60ish
0-60 never
@@danes.1931 it's geared higher now, around 66ish but thats about as much as I'm pushing it
where did you find a kickstand for this bike
Pretty sure they can be found on Amazon! Just measure the hole size for the bolt and the length you need!
kayo t2 or kawasaki 140rf? it has almost the same price
Gonna get more motor with the Kayo t2 but the 140rf is a sick bike too
Nice. Love how you said China bike but Gopro. They're made in China too.
Lol you're absolutely right
Pratically everything is made in china but yk how ppl are always putting a discriminating titles on shi
@@Dfgxtee You're right about that. I really don't care about the made in china anymore. China makes some really good things and make some crappy things just like everyone else. I wish more people would understand that. And this bike looks really nice. Especially for the price
How much horsepower does this one have
Probably somewhere between 10 and 12 hp.
22hp
are you nut. 22hp ha ha ha please stop making a fool of yourself@@norbertkurzak4505
Carb or fi
Carb
@@RattleCanCustoms how caN i make power up hp. Cheapest way
@@MrRGM10 a carb swap will do wonders! But on a budget, re jetting helps a lot! These bikes are notoriously lean from the factory
@@RattleCanCustoms 28mm or 30mm?
@@MrRGM10 we’ve made upgrades with both. You really want to look at what’s stock on your bike (stock carb, intake, etc) and go from there. Measure the intake boot and find a carb that will fit. Some carbs won’t fit some bikes.
How's the bike holding up
Pretty good, currently adding different tires, bars, seat, carb. Just trying to find out all the mods ahead of time for yall
@@parrottmatt23 post another video on your kayo
Top speed on that Kayo is like 64mph
We beleive it! Its quick for sure!
Nice #Chinabike my Honda clone has 48 hp EGL RS 450 check it out
I've heard about them, but never seen one in the wild lol
Bet it's a beast for sure!
This 250 is more than enough to get me hurt lol
Firsties?
if you aint firsties, youre lasties
