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.

I changed the oil again because I wanted to change the oil filter as well this time. I chose the hiflo filter, I've had good luck with them and they are cheap enough for us frugal riders

Man this little 200cc engine is really impressive, in 4th gear I hit 68mph and the rpms were still rising, I believe it would do 70mph in 4th! Of course that's speedo not gps but still impressive none the less!

Time to gut the cat! First step is to make my reference mark
