Wow, reading all this, it looks like they rushed this thing out of the factory. Not just a simple assembly job. I wonder how the X-Pro assemblers would have handled all this if a customer paid for...

I had an Xpect and sold it to get the KPX. At 65 mph the Xpect feels unstable; too light. I would not recommend it for highway use. That was about its max speed, and I had geared it up two teeth in...

Valve clearances should always be checked on these Chinese bikes, if only to eliminate that as an issue, so you do not have multiple issues to chase down.

My immediate guess is that your main jet...

Does the motor have a sight glass for oil level? If so, fill it to about 2/3 up. Or use the dipstick, adding a little at a time after 1/2 liter.

14 & 41 gives a 1:2.92 ratio.
18 & 38 gives a 1:2.11 ratio.
That is so tall that first gear starts might be an issue; and probably top gear would be only useful for level cruising.
16 & 41 might...

I'm referring specifically to the plastic chain guard. As for the guide, if you put a larger front sprocket on, that may help keep the chain off the guide. Max number of teeth for a KPX front...

A competitor against the Xpect, with a 200cc air cooled motor? Laughable.
In fact it outclasses the KPX and Templar with its larger L/C motor. This is a whole new class of street-legal Chinese...

When he is saying a 233 gear ration for the 14/33 sprockets, he means 1:2.33. (Actually it is 2.35 though.) Rather than dividing 14 x 33 as you are doing, he is dividing 33 x 14. Same difference,...

Yeah, that's a good video. Thanks.

The reason the chain gets tighter or looser depending on swingarm angle is that the front sprocket is in front of the swingarm pivot bolt. This is what causes...

Actually it can't "get tighter" while riding. It was just set wrong, and since he didn't test it with a rider sitting on the bike after the adjustment, it seemed to get tighter while riding. He just...

Most likely is that your procedure for tightening the chain is incorrect.

When the swingarm is horizontal, parallel to the ground, the chain is at its tightest--i.e. the rear sprocket is at its...

If it ran fine at first, then later on started bogging, I'm thinking you need to do a valve adjustment. Exhaust valve stem heats up and lengthens, valve doesn't close completely, loss of power. It...
