Hi guys I wonder if any one can shed any light on the above kart please
Is there anyone on here who owns one just after a basic review on performance etc . Are theses karts big enough to seat a adult as there's are just two modles 6.5&9.0 one has roll cage other hasn't . As just bought a 2015 model and collecting Wednesday it's only had 10 hours usage . When would you change the oil in the engine etc it runs a Honda clone lifan engine

Nice little kart, that thing looks Kewl. Kinda like a stripped down Honda odyssey.
As for "oil changes" and going back over and re-tightening bolts, checking for stress cracks, crunched bearings or cracked bushings, All this is up to your gut and how hard you are thrashing it when you ride. New motor? 10hr's....Oil change is over due. I changed my oil after 1 hr of breaking. after that I will be a little more....normal, Maybe....

I can tell you that after just a few hours of drive time, I found loose bolts in places I would not have figured.....So one extreme to the other...
Buy a kart, put gas in it, run it till it breaks.
Buy a kart, do a post ride after every day of running and look for problems.
And tell me what kart is going to last ?

Thanks I've got some spare kart oil in the garage decent stuff not cheap motul I change it straight away . Il give it the once over when I collect it plus roll cage is coming off

Yea, to cage or not to cage....I pulled mine off for testing, Just don't wear a seat belt if you going "open". Last thing you want is your neck to be the roll cage. Mine, I plan on adding a newer,better, stronger cage. But not until I get near the end of the build.

Example: decided to yank apart the front end of a race kart I have. Front end "seemed fine" but I was board....Found 1 of 4 spindle bearings was smashed into 100's of pieces. Had I not disassembled it "just to look" I am sure it would have cost a bunch more then a $3 bearing to get it going again.
