  • This bike is NUTS for just $6k. While taking a first RIDE of the 2021 Kayo KT 250 2-Stroke 250cc Dirt Bike we found it to be unmistakably well built. With an MSRP price of $5,299 this bike comes in at about half of what the competition is selling for... Check the bike out here for more information:

    Thumbs up once again for the content creation! What fuel to oil ratio do you run? What does Kayo recommend? What brand oil do you run in that KT 250 with the pre-mix? How about in the transmission? Thanks again Kyle.

    • @MotoCityTV
      @MotoCityTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Kayo recommends Torco oil mixed at a 30:1 ratio. I have not gotten my hands on a manual for the KT as of yet but the sticker on the rear fender says to use Torco and 30:1 or engine damage may occur.

    Why you shifting like that? Hit that powerband n let her breath. It's not a 4stroke lunker

      Please stop shifting so soon. 2 strokes are designed to be ridden at the top of the rev limiter, not the bottom like a 4 stroke. It sounds like you've never rode a 2 smoke before.

    Seems I've heard you talk about how you
    just lift the front end up and go, several times
    between this and a previous video on this bike,
    but don't recall seeing that happen, I wonder
    if this bike actually has any low end torque, and
    can readily do just that.
    I hear that is does, here, but haven't actually
    seen it demonstrated. Do they offer a torque,
    dyno chart on this bike? Yeah, I know; good
    low torque, great mid torque, less on the top end,
    but I think most of use would like to see that
    actually demonstrated, or at least the hp/torque
    specs, charts etc. We know it's not going to be
    50hp etc, but I for one, would like to know that
    its peak hp for example is better than say 16hp.

    • @MotoCityTV
      @MotoCityTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For sure less top end. I did lift the wheel many times in POV but it's not too noticeable... like straight up hills in POV look flat. Anyhow... its a neat bike.

    • @bikersoncall
      @bikersoncall 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MotoCityTV The bike is very cool, I agree.
      I re watched the video, I know a wheelie or wheel coming
      off the ground when I see it POV, horizon, shadows, etc,
      plus you showed the front wheel quite often, I would say
      you didn't have the camera on at any time that you
      'simply pulled the front wheel up' . I'm not looking for
      a wheelie monster, that isn't my point, not that you said
      it was, just saying, I'm looking for a bike that can do that
      for technical riding over tall obstacles, tractor tires, logs,
      etc, from what I've seen so far, this is far from that machine.
      I'd like to be shown different though, as I really like
      just about everything else about this bike.

    The KT250 needs to be put through a better test ride. People need to see when the suspension bottoms out, how it pulls through a good muck hole etc. Going through knee high puddles would not be a bad test either for water proofing. You need to find a better place to test it and maybe ride next to and on an enduro course etc. with similar sized 2Ts. I think a current and average dirt bike rider could raise the product bar a few notches. No offence intended, I just think the bike might be short changed in the video, but then again maybe it's shown within its usable environment. As it stands I will pass for now.

      If this is the same platform as the GPX TSE 250r then it runs a Yamaha 230 DT engine which was produced by Linhai in China anyway so, actually it is not a clone at all it is a Yamaha DT 230 engine in a KTM copied frame. Here is another interesting tidbit, KTM non competition 4 stroke engines are produced in the CFMoto plant in China. That means when you ride a Duke you are riding a Chinese powered super motard.
      My buddy has a GPX TSE 250r and so far every engine part was completely compatible with Yamaha DT 230 components. That engine was never supposed to have explosive MX style power it has a more mild tune and wider ratio transmission for dual sport riding. My CR 125 with an Eric Gorr 134 kit in it would enialate that thing in a straight line but would not handle cruising around town due to the revs that doing so would require. For what it is intended for and the cost of ownership it is a fantastic bargain. If you want a race bike you buy a used Husaburg, Husky, KTM, or KDX 220R. For an adventure bike on a budget it is an excellent offering.

Man, CF Moto and KTM looks the same coz they're both designed by Kiska, the CF Moto hyper naked bikes are just basically downpowered versions of the much expensive KTM dukes. Also, KTM dukes are originally designed by Bajaj, and Indian motorcycle company. The duke 390 and the Bajaj Kawasaki Dominar 400 are identical when it comes to engine specs. KTM non-compettion bikes aren't made in China.
