2008 Kinlon KBR200 review from Australia
"Absolute rubbish!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Paintwork scratched from new.
Ignition cut-out for side stand never worked.
Nuts for both exhaust guards broke and guards fell off.
Rocker arm broke at 2000km.
Dipstick disintegrated into sump.
Tank plastic disintegrated - no fall, just rubbish plastic.
Battery faulty from purchase. New one a bit better, but only holds charge for 2 days.
Horn does not work - never has.
Neutral light only works intermittently.
Headlight as good as useless, can't see past my nose.
General comments?
Only a toy for kids - not an adult's motorbike.
The operators manual gives conflicting and sometimes wrong information.
Be prepared to spend a lot of time on the phone trying to resolve warranty issues.
