Watch the video; it is easier than it sounds. Can you post the link to the video here? I have heard of the K-Pipe, and from what I understand it is an okay bike, but in a 4 way comparison between a SSR Razkull 125 (Chinese Grom clone-ish bike), a Honda Grom, and a Kawasaki z125, it lost. Not because it is bad, but because the reviewers felt the others were better. However, one of our members just recently took ownership of the new Kymco Spade, a bike that kind of came out of left field following the Spade (seemingly no notice prior to launch--it just kind of arrived and stole the K-Pipe thunder).

Here's the link to the video. And you're right, it's a lot easier than it sounds. I just have to buy a feel gauge at AutoZone after work. Shame that that k-pipe didn't do so well but I've heard of the Spade. A dealer by my house sells them along with the k-pipe. I'd love one of those myself. |
Don't let me talk you out of the K-Pipe; the magazine is the online magazine--crap, forget the name, but they tested the 4 bikes in San Gabriel, or some small city in the San Gabriel Valley, and into the mountains, and then back down, so were doing some fun to cost scale of economics which is why the SSR Razkull won and K-Pipe lost. It wasn't the cheapest nor performed the best.

If you want something with 17 inch wheels like the K-pipe, and a little bit bigger than a Grom sized bike, the Lifan KP-200 would be the next step up. This would be a bike similar to your GS250, but it is water cooled and has a 6spd transmission. |

If I move back to California, besides my TGB Express scooter, I am thinking of the Lifan KP200 (non-fairing) as cheap transpo. |
Here is the video--it was motorcycle.com I don't think there is anything wrong with the K-Pipe, unless it is overpriced, all things being equal. Use the advantages of the others to make a good deal. :tup:

Did you read the thread from SamM regarding his Spade? He seems to like it a lot. That will give you first person experience of the Spade.

Yea I read through it, that's what's convincing me to go and check it out. I was considering the Sym wolf classic since it has a tad bit more power but the Spade has a hell of a lot more aftermarket support.

Quick update. Turns out the valves were definitely too tight. They didn't even move until I adjusted them. I used the PDF service manual that I was given. And I also discovered where my oil leaks were coming from the valve caps! So now I'm going to go ahead and buy new o rings for it.
