Konker KSM 200 Street Tires

Here is the Konker KSM 200 with the 17 inch street tires that it comes fitted with from the factory. These are great for onroad, but not much for in the mud and on slippery rocks or tree roots.



Konker the distributor for Canada seems to be defunct, so not sure if you can still get the offroad kits that were made for these bikes with a 21 inch/18 inch offroad setup anymore from them. I found mine used.




I have heard that a new distributor may have picked up the bikes though for Canada, I'll try and get more details about that but it would be great news as sourcing the parts from the states for the sister qinqqi bike is a pain as you need a US address. Many suzuki parts will fit engine wise, but even then it can be a pain because of subtle differences.




It's too bad you can't get this bike from the factory with off road tires, like it's sister qinqi xp or xf 200 in the states.














Konker with half a fork

Swapped out the street tires for this offroad konker wheel set on my Konker KSM 200 dual sport. Process was pretty straight forward except I managed to bust the axle holder overtightening a pinch bolt to keep the axle from turning. Here is a pic of the bike with one side of the front fork removed.

Been pretty happy with the bike so far other than it seems to want to keep blowing tail light bulbs and the stuff I've broken myself. Got it out the door for $2100 and the wheel kit used for $500.

Will do about 120 KM/hr on the highway, and I ride it to nearby McLean Creeek and can ride for most of the day on a tank of gas and make it back. Probably put about 200 KM on it I imagine. Had 17 inch street tires on it previously, so anxious to try it out with the new off road 21 and 18 inch setup I have for it.

Konker Repair


Here are some pics of a front fork repair weld I had done on my Konker KSM200 dual sport bike. Managed to crack the axle holder when I tightened the pinch bolt that keeps the axle from turning. Easy to do, didn't have much torque on the part, should probably have stood up to more pressure but if you are ever tightening this be careful.
