Good afternoon bikepost! At the moment, the odometer shows almost a thousand kilometers off-road, country roads and a little on asphalt, which means it’s time to tell you what happened to the Chinese enduro motorcycle during this time. Details under the cut)
In general, the motorcycle continues to give pleasant emotions. Over almost a thousand kilometers, the following happened:
1. In the last post I mentioned a broken clutch lever 2. A broken electric starter start lever was also mentioned there 3. When I fell, I bent the support pad of the brake pad, it was not possible to bend it to the “factory” geometry, but since it was later replaced with screws. 4. During the same fall, I bent both rear-view mirrors, ordered folding ones, let’s see how long they will last (since I have a license and a title, and I’m driving to the place on my own without them) 5. After incorrect installation of the lever protection, the wiring burned out
Here's more about this:
After the motorcycle fell out of the blue due to the side support not being fully positioned, I bought universal lever protection from SM Parts. Spoiler - I categorically do not recommend it for this motorcycle). The problem is the following - the mount practically rests on a bundle of two wires coming out of the brake machine. During installation twisting this way and that, a position was found in which they were not touching, but the gap was symbolic. We took it for a ride, everything was fine. In a couple of days I’m getting ready to go, I turn the ignition key - zero reaction. As it turns out, the fuse is blown, which surprised me: I drove into the garage with my moving, the motorcycle stood motionless for two days and this is the situation. I changed it and drove off. Somewhere after a couple of hours of riding, the motorcycle suddenly stalls on the move, the dashboard starts flashing wildly. I start to slow down while turning off the ignition and notice that smoke is starting to come from under the tidy. I jump up. from the motorcycle - a flame is already blazing cheerfully on the central harness. It’s good that we managed to extinguish it immediately with a banal clap of our palm. As a result, we go on a cable to the garage to figure out what’s wrong, the day off is ruined). As it turned out, the hand protection fasteners began to fray the “frog” flagellum from the brake machine and because of this the fuse burned out for the first time. During the above-mentioned ride, he completely frayed it - the result is natural.
Since I have a fresh 20-year-old motorcycle, wiring specifically for my motorcycle is not on sale. In the store (the rules seem to prohibit mentioning names and addresses) they offered wiring from T2G to order, since from T2\T4 it is sold in the sports equipment version and is definitely not It fits, too, from the older T2 Super. I waited about 2 weeks, unfortunately, the T2G didn’t fit either. I wrote to the officials and didn’t get a response. I contacted several stores, but it didn’t add any clarity to when it would appear. Another week later I got back to you We contacted the first store and said that the item appeared in the suppliers’ price lists, but delivery would be in a month at best. A month and a half passed, but it still wasn’t there and it’s still not clear when it will be available. Here you have the Chinese, for which they sell spare parts on every corner It is worth mentioning that I live in a rural regional center and we have two and a half (figuratively) self-taught auto electricians in the entire region who flatly refused to restore the burnt harness. I started calling people in two cities nearby to take on the restoration without a diagram (there is one Few people want to buy an old T2 with a different engine and with errors. Those who are ready to take it (and there are not many of them) are simply asking for an outrageous price tag, citing the fact that for the time spent (until you figure out what goes where where, there is no diagram, the sheath of some wires has melted, It’s not clear what colors were there) they will earn a lot more from their specialized work as an auto electrician than I’m ready to offer. Then, as it turned out, one of my friends with whom I haven’t talked for a long time works with VAGs and just on wiring. In two days and an unfortunate thousand rubles, he assembled a scythe again from VAG wiring. Now we can say that I have German wiring in my Chinese motorcycle). Thank you Lekha! Well, at least this significant part of the motorcycle season did not pass me by, I rode a pit bike that a friend from another city keeps in my garage. I was afraid that there might be problems with the ignition coil, the ignition itself, the switch, the charging relay... But everything worked out, after installing the harness on the motorcycle started up in its rightful place, as they say, with half a turn. The only thing that was missing was the turn relay, but since it’s cheap and universal, it doesn’t matter. That’s the story.
6. Chain for 1000 km. stretched almost to critical values, but with it, in general, everything was clear from the beginning) 7. The explosive wire on the spark plug melted (I routed the wire incorrectly when I changed the wiring) 8. The right rear turn signal was broken, how and when it is not clear)
In general, all problems are caused by falls and incorrect installation of lever protection. It’s a shame, of course, but as they say, it’s your own fault. The motorcycle starts with half a turn, rides properly and continues to delight me with bright emotions.
Briefly about the plans:
1. Folding mirrors (they've been on their way from China for a month and a half now) 2. Pro Taper grips (installed) 3. Replacing the chain with a sealless DID 4. Replacing the gearbox foot with a slightly longer one (with mine it's not very convenient in motorcycle boots, the foot is already on the way) 5 Replacement of the brake pad support pad with a slightly wider one (on the road with the pad) 6. Replacement of rear turn signals (with running stripe) 7. Folding arms and steering wheel weights 8. Stud the tires for the winter and buy a second set for the summer 9. Finally put the motorcycle on accounting)

Operating experience
Owners of Kayo equipment note its reliability and durability. If handled properly, the company's ATV will last 3-5 years, after which the engine life will be exhausted.
Before purchasing, you should immediately decide for what purpose the ATV is needed. If the device will be used only for recreation and driving on flat roads, it is recommended to purchase an all-terrain vehicle with a 110 cm³ engine. But for more serious tasks, it is better to choose models with a more powerful engine.
Almost all ATV models of the Chinese brand are utilitarian. This is a universal technique that can be used for walking, fishing or hunting trips, transporting and towing cargo. Also, ATVs with a powerful engine are capable of performing various household tasks in the garden or field.
Owner reviews
When driving, four-wheelers reach a speed of about 60-65 km/h (depending on the model). This is quite enough to feel the thrill of driving.
The engines of all all-terrain vehicle models are economical. They can work for a long time, maintaining their characteristics even under conditions of increased load. Gasoline consumption for vehicles with a 100 cc engine, depending on driving conditions, ranges from 3.5 to 5 liters per 100 km.
ATVs are lightweight, maneuverable, but at the same time stable. Children's and adult models differ not only in size and engine power, but also in the size of the fuel tank. For children's equipment, the gas tank capacity ranges from 2 to 5. ATVs for adults are equipped with a fuel tank with a capacity of 5 liters or more. Considering the cost-effectiveness of the technology, this is quite enough for long-distance travel.
Blitz review of the Kayo Big Bull ATV
Recently we were offered to purchase new quads from Kayo. Among them was a rather curious specimen, which we will tell you about today. And so, meet the Kayo Big Bull 2020 ATV
The Kayo Big Bull ATV can be bought in Moscow and is a full-size ATV designed primarily for light enduro and recreational riding in the countryside. This ATV does not have all-wheel drive, downshifts, overdrive gears, or differential locks, but its cost more than compensates for these shortcomings. Spare parts for the ATV are also affordable and in stock.
Kayo Big Bull weighs 180 kilograms and is perfect for both adults and teenagers over 13 years old. The wheelbase is 1120 mm. Seat height 760 mm. The wheels on the ATV are of different widths, 23 inches in the front and 22 in the rear. By the way, the wheels on an ATV are low pressure and are designed for pressure from 0.5 to 1.0 atmospheres. Fuel tank capacity is 9 liters. We have a wide variety of ATV tires in stock.
At the heart of the ATV is the LX162FMK engine with electric starter and oil cooling, with a volume of 180 cubic centimeters. Together with the JK-PZ30A-41 ATV carburetor, they produce 12 hp. The transmission is an ordinary variator with reverse, which significantly facilitates the operation of the equipment. The three-position Ride Node (RNF) selector is located to the right of the fuel tank. The braking system is hydraulic, with disc brakes at the front and rear. The front suspension on the ATV is lever, with a shock absorber travel of 280 mm. At the rear there is a monoshock absorber with a working stroke of 310 mm.
Attachments include rear-view mirrors, a lighting kit consisting of low and high beam headlights, turn signals, brake lights and side lights. From the factory, the ATV comes with a tow bar, as well as racks in the front and rear. A nice addition will be the dashboard, which shows speed, revolutions, remaining fuel, as well as all lighting indicators.
An ATV is perfect for those who are looking for a simple, utilitarian piece of equipment for their dacha, not to conquer swamps, two-meter snowdrifts and other difficult obstacles, but to arrange casual recreational trips, transport light loads and simply enjoy non-extreme riding. The maximum speed of Kayo Big Bull is 45 km/h. Due to the fact that the ATV does not have all-wheel drive, a differential and the ability to lock it, as well as low and high gears, the cost of the new Kayo Big Bull is much lower than its adult brothers. If full-fledged copies from Chinese manufacturers start at 450 thousand rubles, then Kayo Big Bull 200 costs 209,990 rubles as of September 2020.
Repair and tuning
Users note the high build quality of Kayo ATVs. Therefore, after purchasing the car, the owner will not need to change parts. The buyer only needs to break in the all-terrain vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Next, the user will need to change the oil and undergo periodic maintenance.
Some ATV owners increase engine power, which allows them to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. You can also additionally install protection, rear view optics, side lights, GPS navigator and other systems. They will increase the functionality of the vehicle and improve ride comfort.
Which ATV is better to buy for riding?
To make the right choice, you need to decide on the location of your future trips:
- For rides on asphalt, choose an engine volume of up to 500 cc. cm and a power of no more than 70 hp. The transmission does not play a role in this case.
- For fishermen, hunters, and rides through fields and forests, we recommend considering models with an engine capacity of up to 150 cc. cm, not exceeding 45 hp. Acceleration to 70 km/h will be enough. An automatic transmission or CVT is required so as not to be distracted by changing gears.
- For racing and extreme sports - everything is simple. You can safely consider engine capacity up to 1100 cc. cm., power up to 85 hp. and speed up to 120 km/h. An automatic transmission would be an advantage.
Happy shopping!
