My brief review of the kxd 608

My Experience with the 124 cc Pit Bike

I acquired this steed in early July.

Pit Bike

  • Engine Capacity: 124 cc
  • Fuel Tank: 5 liters
  • Load Capacity: Up to 90 kg (though assured by the store it could handle 120 kg)
  • Speed: Up to 90 km/h (promised 110-120 km/h)
  • Wheels: 14/17 inches
  • Weight: Approximately 70 kg

Fresh out of the box

Having ridden it for two months now, I can say it has generally pleased me. Not overwhelmingly impressive, as some parts broke or got lost, but it justifies its cost.

Chain tensioner issue

Let's Start with the Drawbacks:

  • The chain lock was the first to fail, popping out on sand (it kept happening, especially when the bike was laid on its side).
  • After 5 hours of riding, the threads on the chain tensioners stripped (solved by installing long nuts).
  • Approximately after 10 hours of riding, the rear wheel bearings failed.
  • The plastic chain guard was worn down to almost nothing by the footpeg.
  • The seat was mounted on a flimsy bracket, causing the plastic to quickly deform.
  • Tighten the bolts a bit too much, and the threads are gone.
  • The chain tensioner quickly stretches and starts to make noise.
  • The fuel tank vent hose is constantly getting lost.

Observations

On a Positive Note:

I mostly rode on sand, mud, peat, and water—no issues, just had to clean the air filter regularly.

Riding conditions

It tears through the ground in both first and fourth gear.

Uphill capability

It climbs any hill.

Gearbox performance

The gearbox operates flawlessly, without jerks, jolts, or gear slips.

Running smoothly

I ran the first three tanks in break-in mode.

Fuel & oil usage

I use 92-95 octane gasoline and 5w-40 oil.

Excited for more

And I've ordered some goodies for the fall.

Looking forward
