You can't deny one thing about almost all Kayos (and a couple other Chinese makes)...the darn factory exhaust systems do sound fantastic.

So I’m new to the game and after hours of research and not wanting to buy a 01-08 used bike for 5k. Decide to go with the K2 230 for starters…. I’ve owned it for 3 months and the bike just goes…. It’s real fun for the price …. Perfect for learning. Carful tho she’s got some torque, she took off from under me.. lol Bike took a punch n still goin.. 👍 good video

I’ve had one for 9 months and have only had 1 issue that wasn’t caused by me an it was after 8 months of no problems an only needing to replace spark plug time to time and it’s the stock carb. Take that off things brand new great bike

Great video man. People need to start to look at these bikes as more than garbage. But you mentioned the kick starter doesn't have great reach. I noticed the same issue with mine. Well, the reason that the footpeg on that side of the bike the spring doesn't work is so you can fold it up and get the full reach of the kick start. Hope this helps.

1:56 Shift lever; I treat mine as if were a precious diamond, I will do any mod necessary on a bike to get my shifter out of harms way, yours looks to be hanging out there a bit. I'm told that to replace the splined main shift shaft means taking the motor apart. I used an aftermarket lever that suited my requirements in length and ability to be bent to be in the prefect position and spot. If looking straight down from the seat, you can only barely see the peg and when shifting up it almost hits the clutch cover with about 2mm space is all. I got used to pointing my tow inward, when finding the shifter and changing gears, having toe or toes pointing inward does not put the foot in harms way, in fact many experienced instructors tell us to keep toes pointed in, in general, for a couple of very good safety and skill-set reasons. Nice bike!

Hey, I had a question if these take gearbox oil. I do see there are two unscrewable tabs about the shifter. I got this used on a killer deal and the other guy didn’t know what he was doing with this. I looked through the the owners manual on Kayos website but it didn’t mention anything?

New rider here. Got a 2021 k2 230 and just finished breaking it in when I dropped it and it hit a rock. Put a hole right through the left stator cover enough to leak oil everywhere. Finding a replacement part is impossible. Dealership said they don’t have a breakdown for the motor and I might need to get the entire thing replaced lol. If anyone finds some secret parts catalog please share.

2:22 What is your ball park elevation to have gone up 4 and 3 jet sizes? Did you move from the factory notch setting too, or leave it 'pat' ? RIght after this you wrapped your pipe, lol, I thought I was the only one on dirt bikes that constantly fights getting boots scrapping and getting a bit caught up on the heat plate ... lol good solution, I'd like to find a heat shield/plate that wraps around more than the typical to hopefully eliminate the 'catching boots' issue. -- Any idea what the wattage is of your stator? Did you get a decent owners manual, parts list. Do you have a link to the parts source for your bike?

Lasts pretty long if u take care of it properly, only problems that should be looked out for when u get it is the stock chain and the carb. The carb works great for about 5-6 months then starting gets harder bc the fuel level is in even an it’s clogged but once u put a bigger aftermarket carb it’s brand new again

Our bikes were purchased from local dealers, or were previously owned. So we didn't need importers. However, I would look into who you are ordering from and who they use, and research the companies themselves. Not sure if they allow an option to choose importers or not. Hope this helps!

From what I’ve seen, the K2 is more of the next phase of the T2. Updated frame for ground clearance, giving it a more motocross look versus the dual sport style of the T2. But I’ve also seen that they’ve removed the link from the rear suspension? Other than those, the bikes have the same engine and whatnot.
