Look on eBay for hoses. I found rubber hoses with a wire coil around them to keep them from kinking, with a 10mm banjo (engine side), for about $16 each. The other end is open, and you use the barbed adapter that comes with the cooler. Might be possible to find the braided stainless lines like Jerry used.

I guess we are the early adopters (leaving to get mine in about 1/2 hour). Lifan is getting a couple of minor issues fixed on a great bike.

I have not changed the oil yet, it has whatever oil Venom added. I'm going to change it soon however. I think I'm going to use 10w-40 conventional

The lines Tom linked will work.

Thanks, good to know.

Hey Jerry, did your bike come with any hex wrenches in the toolkit? Mine didn't. The X-pect had one for the plastics. The KPX needs the same one for the plastics, and a larger one for the rack.

Gonna do my own thread on my KPX tomorrow.

I also noticed went going very slow it jerks when you throttle and I noticed that on my Benelli as well they are both EFI and new. like when practicing figure 8s for my test. I bought a used TBR7 with 1,150 miles on it and it is very smooth at very slow speeds. any thoughts ?

If the chain is a bit loose it will give you driveline snatch when you hit the throttle.

I’m on the hunt for an exhaust gents! So far found a tuner but exhaust is alittle bit more difficult!

I haven't looked into the exhaust system yet. I just received my cable so time to stat looking into the tuning portion.

What cable did you end up getting?

This one but haven't tested it yet. Plan on playing around with it over the weekend. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X2YWJ46...roduct_details

Here's another setup that appears to be even closer of a match. This item and others like it are 2 piece, but without O2 sensor bung, like our stock exhaust. At $135 it's hard to justify it just for the muffler part. It does look better than stock, I'll give it that, but it isn't the most attractive aftermarket option.

We would need to see this actually mounted on a bike. The header pipe on the KPX is almost level coming out the engine whereas on my Hawk it angles down as it comes out the head.

I need a sponsorship

Good side by side comparison.

Both bikes are nice looking machines but the KPX just kind of stands out in a crowd, good pics!

I think these are made for hawk like bikes but I'm interested in the tail piece not the header. Somebody who's savvy with Alibaba should try and secure one for cheap
