KPX rear sprocket studs ???

Bill Hilly · 12-22-2023, 10:22 PM

I was out on the KPX today, which I now have a hair over 1,200 miles showing on, and I got to thinking, and wondering if the stock rear sprocket studs are any better than the stock studs on other Chinese bikes. I have replaced the chain a good while ago, and realize it does have the beefier 520 sprockets, but now I have it in my mind that the bike may be using the exact same studs that are known to sometimes fail. Do any of you know if these have better studs? Thanks

I gave mine a closer look, and they use bolts, rather than studs on the KPX. I assume they are probably better, but at least they could be pulled out individualy and looked at from time to time, without removing the wheel.

Man, you worrying too much. Lol. The KPX is much better quality than my Hawk that's for sure. Others have literally put thousands of miles on these bikes with no issues. Just check them to make sure they are tight.
