I forgot to include last year for 2020 for the T4 model was $4400 out the door to compare that to a KLX 230 or CRF 230 they go for around $6500-$7000 out the door with almost all the same specifications.
Wow not sure where you are from but I just bought a brand new 2021 klx230 and out the door was around $4800 the klx300 I was looking at was $6800 out the door even the 2022 klx230 will be about $5200 to $5500
@@dapperyapper4746 I live in northern Michigan and bikes around here get pretty pricey. I’m honestly think it’s because dealerships around here know there isn’t many dealerships so they can over charge because that’s your only option
Another thing, what RPM do you let yours idle at, and you ever have any issue with the speedometer or odometer? The speedometer on mine has been broke since I got it, but the tachometer is workin fine.
I let mine idle around 1500rpm 230cc motorcycles are known for stalls if you try to low idle around 1000rpm. I recommend 1500rpm. As far as the tac and Speedo I have not had any issues luckily could just be faulty wiring
Sorry not sure if I got to you in time I would absolutely say anything around $2500 and under for these newer ones are well worth it just got done attempting some of the bigger hill climbs in my area dropped 3 times due to soft sand on the hills and they hold up good
my thing is I just don't feel like the rims and suspension and frame would hold up like the 230s from honda and yahmaha with the way I ride pretty sure id destroy it in like a week like I did my apollo pitbike wish I had enough money to do a video where I put them head to head
I’m gonan be honest, I’ve had the k2 230 for about 6 months and I’ve put it through hell and back, and it holds its end, it runs great, starts up immediately every time with no problems, never had a mechanical problem either. The bike and brand have throughly surprised me. I’ve jumped it countless times(even tho it’s not supposed to be jumped hard😂) they are reliable, and I was supposed to change the oil 2 times during the break in period and the filter once. I only changed the oil once. The bikes a unit
They definitely are more for the beginner riders and be been riding a long time and can tell the suspension is what would be the first the give out compared to Honda’s and etc.
You may want to move up to a higher performance, heavier bike. Most motocross bikes (and I’m sure it applies to these bikes too) are built for a 5’8-10 160 lb. Basically teens.
Not the best fit for you, I would recommend something like a 250 2 stroke or a 450 4stroke. No offense you’re just a big man and will need a little more power to enjoy riding
@@motojanza5686 the difference is the k6 is not a low maint. engine, the 230 is based off old low maint. honda xr 200. with the k6 you need to change oil way more often. guess performance models have much higher operating costs, and more frequent need to rebuild engine/engine failure. if you look on their website it says low maint four stroke for the 230,and 250 k4 also says low maint, but the k6 and water cooled 2 stroke do NOT say low maint. 230 is a great farm vehicle, and all around knock about type bike. the lower power engine runs longer without maint. , and is designed to last a long time, at least old honda engines did... hopefully kayo has the same reliability, with a much lower out the door price tag. new name brand dirt bike prices are thru the roof, and their quality does not seem to be improving, with knock off bikes having features that name brand dont have, like disc brakes , key start, and wider pegs to name a few...

$6 to 6,500 in Upstate NY.
Could you please do an oil change video for the motor and transmission?
Absolutely! Will get that posted ASAP! Pretty easy deal.
Oil change video is up! I mention wet clutch in the video at the end. Referring to the engine and transmission share lubricant.

Is kayo k6 worth like honda and have no break down
I would say in my experience so far yes I have brought it out for family events and let people get on it all day never breaks down
Also the T6 is fuel injected giving you even more reliability
@@motojanza5686 the difference is the k6 is not a low maint. engine, the 230 is based off old low maint. honda xr 200.
with the k6 you need to change oil way more often.
guess performance models have much higher operating costs, and more frequent need to rebuild engine/engine failure.
if you look on their website it says low maint four stroke for the 230,and
250 k4 also says low maint, but the k6 and water cooled 2 stroke do NOT say low maint.
230 is a great farm vehicle, and all around knock about type bike.
the lower power engine runs longer without maint. , and is designed to last a long time, at least old honda engines did... hopefully kayo has the same reliability, with a much lower out the door price tag.

Can the K2 and T2 be plated?
Not sure about the T2 since there is no head or taillight. But the T4 T6 absolutely can be
Is this street legal?
Yes it is comes with front and back headlight and blinkers and also has mirrors
Nice well iv seen them on the website for 3400$ is that the right price?
Mine was $4400 out the door all depends on where you are getting it. If you order online it will be cheaper versus going to a dealership
What’s the top speed on the bike?
Same as any other 230cc about 70-75 cruises great at 55mph
