- The KAYO T2 is a 230cc 4 stroke dirt bike. Here are 5 things we don't like about ours. Kayo is a Chinese brand bike but is seems to be better quality than what you would think of when thinking China bike. It is not a motocross bike but I guess you could ride it at your favorite MX track if you wanted. It seems to be a solid option for younger or small adults or women who to to ride dirt bikes. It has a headlight and electric start.
The Kayo brand of bikes are made in China and seem to be very well made, some of the best Chinese bikes I've seen. This isn't a motocross bike but does very well at trail riding. It is a four stroke with a headlight and electric start. It has a very soft suspension that is well suited for lighter riders. Kayo has other models that are two strokes that may be better at MX riding and racing. The K6-R 250 , K6EFI 250 , the K4250 and the KT250 are the 250 models while the 230 lineup consist of the T2, T4 and K2. Kayo also makes ATVs. They seem to be as well made as GPX and a better fit and finish than Apollo, Tao Tao and other bikes from China

These bikes are great for the price, I've owned both the k2 and the T2 they both are great, my k2 I owned it for 2 years it never broke down or needed a rebuild, just change the oil and go.
our T2 sounded so good
I have one of these also and agree 100% with your list especially the choke position..but overall I absolutely love the bike especially for the price..
Yes, I'll be glad when parts become more easily available but overall it has been a good bike.
Any chance you’d be willin to share some of your findings on interchangeable parts. Or where you found that info? I have googled and talked to friends all I can and am just not coming up with anything. I’ve got documents that show 2 different nibbi carbs on our bike so I can’t even really trust the manuals. Any help would be appreciated. Btw we bought the k2 not t2 and so far I’ve had trouble even really breaking down the difference in the two.
The best info I have found has been on the Kayo owners groups on Facebook. There are a couple different ones.
It's off a Honda
The parts availability is a bit of a deal breaker for
me, I've read and seen videos where they say,
parts are so easy to get. I believe that to be complete
bs. I know that when I bought my Thumpstar 140
(great first dirt bike for almost anyone) It was
constantly said that all parts are the same as a
Honda (110 ? I think it was) and that turned
out to be total bs, I mean total... you could get a
part here and there that worked. The parts catalogue
in the manual was pretty well detailed but none
of those cat numbers matched the parts sources,
and 'in stock' was really hit and miss. Getting parts
for my bike meant asking vendors on amazon / ebay,
if they part would fit, for the most part, or having to
waste so much time emailing US parts support for
every part I needed, delays, often out of stock, quite
frustrating. My guess is that with this series of KAYO
Bikes being newer to the market, accckkk (!!!) I
do not want to deal with that. I love the look and
general specs of the Kayo K2 230, would buy it
in a heartbeat regardless of the parts nightmare,
it the engine put out 26 to 30hp, which sadly,
is doesn't. Key 'likes' for my needs are; nat/bare rims,
not blacked out , air cooled, good ground clearance,
not too heavy.
Yes, parts are the main drawback of these bikes. They seem to have parts of different bikes fit them. KTM plastics, Honda sprockets etc. Stuff like that. But as they become more available it should be easier to get parts.
Its actually Taiwanese, typically they have better quality. They build most of the major brands in Taiwan!
Thanks for the info.
Have you done a oil change to it? If so what oil and how many quarts did you use?
I used Valvoline 10w30 4t motorcycle oil from Walmart. If I remember right it takes a quart.
What are the key differences between this
T2 and the K2 , if you know..
Don't know the spec differences but I think the K line is more in like a mx bike and the T was the Trail bikes.
@@BrettKelley25 oK, Thanks!
Can you plate it?
Not sure. It doesn't have blinkers or tail lights but if you add those I guess you could.
Would be as better video if we could see her roll

This Kayo 230 is probably similar to the older Yamaha & Honda 230s.
I would think it is closer to a Honda. from what I read the founder of Kayo was a Honda engineer for years.
That explains why the engine looks like a Honda 230 engine.
