Was chatting with Vince at Venom and they are doing $200 off B F sale early it seems..

Now get a KPX 250 for $2699.. free shipping to you. what a deal if you are looking for a new "stallion" for the stable.. or just adding to the herd.. :)

not how sure how long it last i have that question in to Vince to see.

Wow thats a good price for that bike,if I had the money right now I would be buying this bike.Seems like this is the best china bike out there.

[carlN]

and dont forget to get the additional $50 off by using the discount code,, JERRYHAWK250

I put one in cart and went through to step to buy and the extra $50 does show up as discount for a total OTD:

Total
USD
$2,649.99
TOTAL SAVINGS
$50.00

merry christmas.. if you want one and have a credit card NOW or before dec 2nd is the time to buy.. If you live in area of lite traffic and can ride to work vs take car or truck it will pay for itself over time.. I would not ride in a heavy traffic area too many crazies out on phone or brain dead..

according to text I got thebother day today is oe may be last day to order so I did. Told them to hold till dec 5th then ship so we can head to the area to receive next week.

Looking forward to getting it put together and some easy riding.

Should I drain the oil and put in T4 and paper filter first?

thanks to jerry or herbies garage for the discounts..

I would recommend filling it with cheap Rotella T4, and running it with the stock filter, because it will get covered by metal partials, and flakes of paint. Change the oil after about 100 miles, and clean and replace the stock filter, and then change to a paper filter the next time.

[carlN]

would not a better paper filter be better in capturing that stuff.. the screen on the oem filter has a some what open mesh.. I can get a 5 pack of paper filter on amamzon for like 15 bucks..

I have T4 on hand..

KPX250 highly recommended.. Love mine.. modded the heck out of it jerry style plus.
BUT
can't resist the XPRO Palladin 300. Arriving in a few days. Should be able to specifically compare the two soon. For me going SuperMoto Street tires, around here those beautiful Power Line Right of ways that go the length of Maryland are "PRIVATE PROPERTY".. US Code under penalty... The Bastards..

[carlN]

well here we are on TUE day after Cyber monday and still on sale.. good news for the rest of you wanting to order.. I going be ticked if this runs till christmas as i could have sent to sons house in orlando and been in nicer weather to assembly and ride.. :(

this tell me the folks at Venom have not clue what is going on with the pricing..

[mark hall]

good choice carIN, Try using a few tanks of 93 octane, I think the ECU figures out when the good stuff is there, and increases ignition advance. Give a comment on the beginning power and after 500 miles power. I sensed a substantial increase. Enjoy!

[carlN]

thank mark.. will give that a run..

I got this from Mark G at Venom


"I wanted to let you know that the MCO (Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin) and the Bill of Sale are notarized in-house. These documents are shipped together with the bike, securely strapped to the seat in an envelope for safekeeping. I hope this information helps clarify the process!

Regarding the Black Friday sale, we are excited to share that we’ll be extending the sale through the remainder of the week for the holidays. Feel free to let your friend know they still have time to take advantage of the deals!

If there’s anything else I can assist with, don’t hesitate to ask.

Wishing you a great day!"

Black Friday sale was compelling me to pick the KPX250 as the most value with lots of extras , great specifications with 20 hp. Injection and 84 mpg. A top speed of 74 in Canada OTD assembled ready to go was $4633 + $150. To my door add the mirrors get registration and plates insurance . Just a switch from my XR150L insurance it should be the same rate here about $500. per year or less . I put 2600 miles on the XR150L this year . It is a very nice riding dual sport. But need the 70+ speed for several hwys exits . Although the XR150L does 62 mph .with the wind down hill But constant speeders makes the hwys travel dangerous and need to pass the big trucks at a minimum.
Does anyone know the thread size of the oil drain plug or a link for a magnetic plug and barend hand protectors .
I have thought about the sidestand and if lower the bike 1.5 inches the stand then becomes to long , So I will simple take a cutoff wheel to sidestand arms stop bracket at both ends , making it tip over more and upper stop trimmed also to let the up right position move higher and closer than the goofy
sticking way out as it rests in the stock position. I will also use bar risers to re position the fork tubes higher in the triple clamp just a minimum amount possible to help lower the seat hight.
Any an all suggestion I appreciate in advance.
Thankyou all KPX250 owners.

Flip, Here is one possible way to shorten the kickstand on your KPX. After lowering my TempX and also my son's, XLsior noted that the kickstand was thick-walled. This gave me some confidence, and it worked out great...

Wasn't me, But I guess if you know 1 Aussie you know them all more or less

It was AussieinMO. He actually has a Templar and I should have remembered! Sorry. My brother is a long time resident of a 'burb of Canberra with a son (psychiatrist) in Newcastle, and a daughter in Laverton (East of Melbourne). She is a tattoo artist and window cleaner (skyscrapers). He just sold his holdings in the USA after the election. Taxes just too complicated, I guess.
