Thanks for the reply on the bag setup...Just took delivery of my 450 rally standard.. still doing initial easy going break in procedures . Quite a dfferent animal from my 790adv r but once I get the suspenion smoothed out ( to harsh) im sure it will be more enjoyable to be on...seat concept seat on the way as the stocker is like sitting on a fence post... new SKDA graphics coming as I recieved the design with the big teal stripes and im not a teal guy...Very impressed with the fit n finish of the bike... as good as anything out there IMO... Have the full titanium exhaust ... nice but WAY TO LOUD for local riding here in the east coast . Will have to figure out some type of DB killer for my own personal pleasure and the land owners that I pass by...Today will be my first full day of of riding the beast as I want to get a couple of hundres miles on her so I can dump what ever oil they put in from the factory..Keep the vids coming , your doing a great job.... Thanks Russ ...N.H.
Thankfully the suspension breaks in and softens up. Also, the clickers are very responsive on this bike. Soften it up with the clickers some, that helps too. Once you get the bike dialed, let me know what you think! Ride safe buddy!
Nice vid. Bike sounds great these days. Brave to keep going on that no trail section solo, good thing you found then road. Uncle Wangs now has a sight glass right side cover replacement btw. Kove seems to be listening still. Keep the vids coming the length is fine.
Thanks my man! I’m thinking about the clutch cover but waiting to hear some reviews on it. I’m really loving the bike and it’s opening all kinds of doors and exposing me to people/rides I otherwise wouldn’t have. Baja 500 here we come!!! Stay tuned!
I also use this rhinowalk bag, it's really waterproof, it's worth it, I use a 20 liter bag, I've done about 9 thousand miles with it and still nothing wrong
In the beginning you didn't like the bike. Then you loved it . Then a week or 2 ago you weren't happy with the bike. Do you like it again? I'm lovin mine, and still stock. Good vid! Do you have a link for the bags at the price you mentioned? Thanks!
After the first ride, I’ve loved the bike ever since. Sure, I’ve had complaints, but that’s with any new bike working through the kinks. A couple weeks ago my complaints had to do with metal being suspect in certain parts. a.aliexpress.com/_mPVCh4W
Please get rid of the spider web bungee. My son in law lost a finger to one. Those things will break where web straps don't remove digits when they fail. Great video thanks.!
Cool ride and nice video, big thumb up 👍 from me. I ordered Kove 450 standard low, and I am waiting for delivery. Are you happy with yours 450? Are there any issues? I hurt about fuel boiling out of the tank and I hope that they sorted out this. Keep going with your nice videos and have safe rides.
Thanks so much! Very very few issues! I love the bike and see keeping it for a long time. The tanks building pressure is just a matter of venting them properly. The little vent caps are one way and causing pressure to build. Let me know your thoughts when you get one!
@DirtByk I did one test ride with Kove 450 and then decided to buy it, so I have good filings about it and hope for the best. It looks great and very good made. These are my thoughts for now. When I get one, I will let you know for more. Cheers
How do you like the bike at slow speed riding? Does the engine lug or does the engine create more heat when you riding slow? Is this suitable for more single track whoops riding or is it more made for open desert/ gravel riding
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.
There are a lot fewer Kove videos out these days for me to shit on...lol. But it does look like you're enjoying it well, and I'm sure China enjoys spending your money so they can enjoy sending military age males through your own border. Your videos have gotten better but are way too long. Anything over 15 mins is a waist of your effort. I'm surprised the bike is still running. Keep up the good videos, and we will see more long-term reliability.

great vid man. I've been meaning to make a trip to Kofa myself!
Thank you so much.

Great to hear! They held up perfect and power washed clean without letting any water in. I even dropped the bike on them a few times.

@@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.
what FmF pipe fits on there?
There isn’t one. This is a knock off fmf for a ktm 450 off Aliexpress with a custom welded midpipe.

Will do! You’re totally right about the length. Thanks for the comment.
