I've added handguards, USB charging port, H4 led headlight bulb, mini LED lightbar and I've also opened up the airbox a bit and rejetted to 130/42. I also have a 4degree flywheel key, 14t front sprocket, and Tusk Dsport rear tire that I've yet to install.

Took it trail riding last weekend and had a blast! loved launching out of corners and rode most of the day in 2nd gear with the occasional quick switch into 3rd. The bike pulls in all gears including 6th....and uphill. Road riding is probably what you would expect from a dirt bike....not all that smooth but i don't mind it. The rear tire(softer compound) concerns me a bit and I could feel the knobbies shifting/flexing so I order the stiffer and harder compound Tusk Dsport tire to hopefully help.(should see longer treadlife too). Looking forward to also getting my 14t front sprocket put on to help make 1st gear a little more usable and to also lower my RPM's on the road.

I've got some pics in my profile album if interested.

Thank you for the update. My guess is if you used more dual-sport type tires, the bike might be enjoyable on the road? What is the stock gearing of the bike (front and rear sprockets)? It is interesting that this bike comes stock with 6 gears vs. the 5 found on every other Chinese dual-sport. How is the seat? I do know that the few reports we have gotten from Pitster Pro owners who have purchased the PP T4, they complain about the very uncomfortable seats the bike comes stock with. Just wondering if Kayo improved their bike's seat...

Got the Tusk tire put on and already I do feel more confident on the road. Stock gearing was 13/45.

The seat is ok...it's fairly squishy. I think the biggest factor with seat comfort is shape/rider position and for me there seems to be a bit of a sweet spot on this seat.

In other news, my front forks are not smooth and are sticking some.....I'm emailing Kayo to hopefully get fixed.
