This is on the type a tower. The future eyes are the ones included with the package on uncle wang’s shop that has the specific brackets. Great quality and putting the setup on our race bike!

I don’t see why not! It could hold enough to do two changes, I believe.

Yes sir! Camel ADV for the win!

It’s just the Tusk universal street legal kit.

@@DirtByk Whats that? Where can i nix this? Imfrom germany 😅 the Turn lights are very nice 🧐 Thanks

There isn’t one. This is a knock off fmf for a ktm 450 off Aliexpress with a custom welded midpipe.

I’ve installed the reflective tape as well. My tanks still push fuel. I’m going to remove the timing advance and get a new exhaust to see if that helps the heat. Also, I think i need to remove the one way from the rear tank to the front tanks so it stops pressurizing the tanks.

@@DirtByk I have Euro 5 model converted to pro model, I never had problems about tanks spilling out fuel.

@@GranXian669 that’s amazing. It happens almost every ride for me.

Thanks Jose! It’s a beautiful area! I’m up in the Tucson area.

Riding is in my blood, the Kove is keeping the fire lit!

Let’s go homie!! 🤘

Those are all done or on the list to be done soon! We’ve sourced a Showa rear shock and forks were freshened up but internals all looked like new. We’ve increased the fork oil quantity a little as well. With my personal bike I’m 💯 going to a different exhaust and tune in an attempt to cool it off, plus remove the timing key mod.

Thank you brother! I really appreciate your support!

Thank you for commenting. That’s our whole purpose for racing Baja; prove the bike’s reliability. The Baja 500 was a brand new bike with no modification. Be bike performed well and our video shows the bike had minimal wear from the race. I ride very remote Arizona on my personal bike and have never been left stranded. The pro is setup does Rally racing. The pro standard has the race exhaust and ecu tune but the street legal equipment. They are so closely spec’d you’ll never know the difference.

Thanks for the reply, and please don't take this reply in the wrong way. English is not my first/native language, so i'm not that fluent, but is it because my youtube had crashed or you use some "accent" that makes me don't understand the second half of your reply. "Thank you for commenting. That’s our whole purpose for racing Baja; prove the bike’s reliability. The Baja 500 was a brand new bike with no modification. Be bike performed well and our video shows the bike had minimal wear from the race." This sentences are loud and clear. But this sentence " I ride very remote Arizona on my personal bike and have never been left stranded." are confusing. What's your personal bike? and what is "I ride very remote Arizona" ? And this "The pro is setup does Rally racing. The pro standard has the race exhaust and ecu tune but the street legal equipment." What? Sorry if this reply sounds rude but please don't take it in the wrong way.

I believe it’s 5k valves, 2500 miles for oil.

It was really easy to take a muffler and have a shop weld a mid pipe in. I was also initially annoyed by the stock pipe and my heel resting on it. It honestly took 30 minutes telling myself to put my foot one inch further out on the footpeg and it wasn’t an issue again. However when i had the midpipe welded I took that into consideration and moved the bend back just a tad.

@@DirtByk ahh sweet that's really good to know

Oh how I wish! Dakar is unattainable unless Willem Avenant can decode Dakar for us. Hey! I never thought Baja would be possible, but here we are ! Who knows?! Maybe one day🤘

I went with the suede comfort seat. It’s the bees knees!

We sure do! Southern AZ!

@@DirtByk nice

Totally agree, properly setup suspension makes all the difference.

Thanks Carlos!!

You and me both, Cody!! I never thought it’d come to fruition! Now I’m stuck in a Baja daydream wanting to go back. 😂

Thank you!!🤙

Thanks, Jon.

You got it! This part was updated in subsequent shipments to the states.

Glad you enjoyed it! Posting failures isn’t the easiest thing to do.

It’s a rally bike so it’s made to go fast. Slow speed stuff makes the engine run really hot. The engine is a jerky when trying to navigate technical terrain but some say that’s just a tuning issue.

@@DirtByk can jerky engine be fixed by having a different map

@@TheShrini23 yeah, so they say. My personal bike has a rekluse and that takes away a lot of the off idle jerkiness and smooths out throttle inputs.

Hey, what’s up Kyle? You of allll people opening that can of worms!😝 Are you trolling me? 🤙 I’m stoked you’re riding a Kove. For the past 15 years I’ve been running the conventional 10/40 Rotella T in literally everything from liter sport bikes to 450 mx bikes, and the proof has been in the pudding; I’ve yet to have a motor failure in 30 + bikes. The motors that I have had to crack open have looked pristine. The wire screens you’ll just clean with brake cleaner and here is the paper filter: a.co/d/eGdj8r2

@@DirtByk I greatly appreciate the suggestions! I may not be the fella you’re thinking so no trolling here. I’m Connor and actually based out of Florence so the next time you get out, let me know and I’ll try to keep up with ya!

@@BackcountryAdv ohhhh whoops! Sorry about that. I thought you were Backcountry ADV Moto. Very similar name! Oh nice! I’d love to get out with some more Kove riders. Hit me up on IG or fb!

@@DirtByk no worries! Just added ya and ordered the filters! If you have any other suggestions for me, I will gladly take them!!! Looking to learn from others before I find out the hard way!

Those marks are on my personal Kove. And yes, the forks did get twisted in the first 500 miles I owned the bike. Thanks for pointing out the potential cause on mine!

Opposite side of town! It all looks very similar. I initially live down by Rita when we moved to Tucson. Definitely a nice area with lots of riding out the back door.

@@DirtByk cool. i'd like to get back there to do some more riding... great content obtw.

I think they’ll come around eventually. For now, the Kove is a legit offering, despite the political hate.

@@DirtByk would be cool to see if you guys can do something about the weight of this bike. The abs seems to be a heck of a start in this department!

@@jjjjrrr678 we’re also not filling the rear tank.

Yeah, the other bike charges at 14.2 while riding. At 14.7 at an idle, it’s cooking the battery. We have a replacement enroute from the manufacture.

@@DirtByk easy fix just annoying 😒

Great info!!! You saved us a ton of research. Thanks for taking the time to type that out.

Oh wow, that is gold right there!

You wouldn’t be disappointed in that purchase. It’s not the best option, however, for tight single track or slow riding. It can do both, but runs hot and may push/boil fuel if pushed hard going slow.

100% normal for break in oil.

You’re welcome!!

There’s one guy who has sourced aftermarket wheels. The front end suspension and wheel setup is tbd. Stay tuned for the build video/info.

💯

The stock stuff performs really well. Suspension is a science and there isn’t anyone local with Kove suspension knowledge. Depending on how the internals look, our guy may see what he can do with with it or look at sourcing like Showa stuff that he knows how to setup. Our team has riders spanning from 150 lbs up to 260, so finding a happy medium is a challenge.

There’s a reason all the race teams use the TT exclusively. I did not see a single Garmin navigation device on a race bike in Baja. If you’re looking for turn by turn directions the Garmin would be the way to go. If you want back country tracks, loading gpx tracks, and the ability to see the screen in any light, the Voyager Pro is the go to.

The PR7 would be a great choice. The Kove is still a single cylinder dirt bike but handles the road much better than the 500 exc. The ktm’s vibrations killed it for me as a dual sport. Some big guys love the 690 as a dirt bike but I’m not a fan of the how the bike carries the weight and handles off-road. The kove spans the gap between dirt bike and dual Sport better than anything in the market. If you’re going to do some road work on it, I’d keep the 49t rear sprocket. Cruising at 75 with that gearing is tolerable.

You could also take a look at the SWM Superdual

Thank you! He’s the best, and often in the prayers.

Yeah, just need to know your range. I’ve had black tanks on lots of the bikes.

It’s just a universal box. a.co/d/efaogOp

Thanks for taking a moment! I think the Kove is the best all around off-road bike. It’s not going to be great for stop and go traffic as it runs hot. The CF Moto might be a better street bike. I’m running the Uncle Wang tower and Trail tech Voyager Pro gps on top. The voyager pro is the best off-road gps on the market imo. Again, it’s not a turn but turn gps unit. It’s a backcountry exploration unit. The Rekluse is the auto clutch. I really like the rekluse and have been using them for years. Lots of info out there on all these products.

Much better! It takes away a lot of that lag between throttle and power. There’s some drag on the motor with my current setup, which i like because it still engine brakes. But you can’t idle at a standstill without the clutch chattering trying to engage. I’d you want that, you’ll be to go to the high engagement springs.
