Kove 450 Rally 1500 mile review. No news is good news! The Kove is a quality bike and is proving to be reliable thus far. I only have a few minor gripes but most can be addressed. Watch the video go further info amongst a lot of “ums” and “ah’s”

Thanks for this 1500mi review. Just the kind of info I want to know. Decided I'm getting the Kove. Hopefully picking it up next month. Gonna keep my KLX 300 too, for the time being. Planning to do the AZ BDR on the Kove in the spring.
Same thing happened on my stock clamps - threads got buggered.
Bought two sets of extra clamps for the exhaust during oil changes.
The clamps are different sizes and a consumable item.
Check and replace as needed.
Good reviews, keep it up!
I've done 5 oil changes, no issue with the exhaust clamps. Mine seem very durable.
Thanks for posting this video and your honesty. I’m very happy with my Honda and it’s Givi luggage system and won’t be changing either any time soon 🙂✌🏻
What Honda are you riding? Thanks for watching!
Honda CB500x. I used it for a three month wild camping trip this summer, mostly around Scandinavia. I know it’s not great for off-roading but it was good enough for forest roads.
I did 13,000 miles and the only maintenance was an oil change and tyres.
When I got home I spent a day cleaning it up and it looks like new again, ready for next summers adventures 🙂🇬🇧✌🏻
@@warrenr4 wow! That sounds like an awesome trip! I honestly don’t think the bike matters as much as the experience and memories created.
FYI, next time you’ll run out of fuel tip the bike over to the left side for five minutes fuel will find his way to the pick up point and you should have at least another 10 miles
Oh man! Great tip! 🤘
Thanks so much for the great video, Im picking up my Kove in January and cannot wait. Just wandering where you bought the SXS skid plate as I am concerned about the carbon fibre.
Thank you so much for the kind words! You’re going to love your Kove. Kove Moto USA has all the parts available. You just email what you want and they send an invoice over.
awesome -- so much useful stuff in this video. I've had mine for just 8 days now, and totally love it so far. But my fuel is showed "low" after just 80 miles, which was basically my first ride home from the UK importer. i went the long way because NEW BIKE DAY. Didn't get a chance to ride it again until today, and when i started up the gauge showed about 1/8th of a tank. So not bleating for fuel. But the low fuel warning came back on pretty quick. Logically it sounds consistent with venting issues, so how do i fix that? Sorry if this is answered elsewhere in your back catalog. i just subbed and will check there now. please keep the content coming!
Thank you for your kind words. I think you’ll really fall in love with the bike like I have. That’s the same symptoms I had initially. Start by removing the charcoal canister. There’s a video on the Kove North American Facebook page on how to do it. Next, instead of the T-hose on the caps, individually vent the tanks. There is also a suggestion to cut the rubber gasket on the backside of the fuel caps to allow them to vent better. These have eliminated the false fuel reading and the gauge appears to be accurate now. Thank you for the sub!! 🤙
Cool bike!
Found my unicorn for the type of riding I like!
Cool. I didnt know tusk made a fatty front. I am running the goldeentyre fatty and love it, but probably twice the cost.
I’ve had good experience with the Tusk tires. The front is holding up really well with the big pig it’s mounted to.
Nice riding! What part of AZ is that? I don’t recognize it…
Outside Tucson!
Where did you get your Kove Graphics? Best I’ve seen!
SKDA did them. I threw out some ideas and they tweak them based on my input. And then you approve before sending to print.
@@DirtByk awesome! Thanks for the reply man! Keep up the Kove content, really appreciate your vids
You said you have a leak at your head gasket correct? Do you think this is a bolt tightness issue? I know Chuck Harder and those guys had a Kove that was leaking at the oil cooler and I think they just had to tighten a bolt
I tried just tightening the bolts on top of the valve cover and was able to put some more torque into them but it’s still gathering oil and dirt on the left side of the motor. I wasn’t able to get to one of the bolts easily so wasn’t able to tighten the one. I need to look at it again when I have it apart.
@@DirtByk I know some motors have a tendency to breath more at the head gasket than others but certainly doesn’t seem like an issue you should be having so soon
@@matlock77 I agree. I like keeping my stuff clean so this bugs me.
Q: What trail tech gadget is that? What interface kit is used to connect to the bike. thx
It’s the Voyager Pro! They come with all the pieces up hook it up to your bike. It’s pretty universal using a fin sensor in the radiator for water temp, a lead that wraps around the ignition wire for rpm. You can run it off the battery, or wire it to keyed power. It can register speed via a front wheel sensor or gps speed. With most my bikes I’ll just run the speed via gps speed.
@@DirtByk Thank you DirtByk
How easy is it to get the parts for this bike ?
The online OEM parts catalog just went live this week! Easy peasy! Plus, I specifically know nearly a dozen moto companies working on aftermarket products for the Kove. So far my bike has been rock solid after nearly 2k miles.
@@DirtByk thanks for getting back to me 👊
Ok sound good I’m going to wait it out until the end of the year to see if people are still saying good things about it and hopefully parts at that point are mega easy to get
@@Brealriding sounds like a solid plan 👊
Wow, a guy is talking in this engine noise video! awesome!
Thus; “motovlog”
