2022 kpr200
I received my bike about 5 days ago and put it together that night,
![]() sometimes other things just have to wait! I ran the engine through a couple of heat cycles and dropped the oil and cleaned the screen, and refilled with T4. Also I checked the coolant level in the radiator per owners manual after blipping the throttle a few times then letting it cool down. Then I took it out and seated the rings for about 25 miles and dropped the oil again. What I found out is the bike is geared a little too low so I took the rear wheel off and removed both rear and front sprockets and ordered new ones. I am going with a 16 or 17 front and a 42 rear. GEARING STOCK 15t front 46t rear Front sprocket is a JTF259 Rear sprocket is a JTR269 The sprockets that Megadan posted in his resource thread for the hawk also work on the KPR. ![]()

Yeah, I love tinkering on the bikes too it’s a lot of fun! The only thing I want to do after the sprocket change is gutting the cat and wrap the pipe up the muffler. I really like the stock sound and will probably keep the exhaust.

I decided to change my sprockets again, 17f 42r was too tall of gearing. I went with the stock 46 tooth rear sprocket and the 16 tooth front sprocket and this seems to be the sweet spot for my style of riding. At 65mph I am running 7k rpms as that is acceptable to me. The bike has little to no vibrations which is great, no tingling hands
![]() I absolutely love the instrument cluster on this bike, it has all the stuff I like, analog tach, digital speedo, fuel gauge, gear indicator, clock and even a shift light ![]() The bike is getting broke in and I am running at some higher rpms, for a 200cc this thing is a lot of fun. Not super fast but fun none the less. Its light and cruises 65mph just fine. It's fun riding a bike that will rev in the upper regions. ![]() ![]() The seating position is comfortable and the seat itself is pretty good. The front suspension absorbs the bumps pretty good but the back is super stiff, I'm going to have to address this in the future. All in all the KPR200 is a great bike and to me after wrenching on it a little seems pretty on par with the Japanese, maybe not quite but close. I feel it's well worth the money.

The glass fell out of one of my mirrors a couple weeks ago. Lol. But, for $25, I'm not mad.

What bike did you have them mounted on? The KPR200 has very little vibration on the handlebars and the rubber around the bolt should help isolate it even more. Time will tell

My kpm 200. But, I also swapped handlebars also. Vibrating wise, it's my second roughest bike, behind my RC390

I have a clean 3/4 hole all the way through. The exhaust has a little deeper tone but is still pretty quiet, win/win in my book. A better flowing exhaust and still quiet.
If you end up doing this job, be sure and run a magnet down the hole to get out as much bits as possible, then start it and blow out the fine metal dust particles.
