    I would have been tempted by the Kove, but it wasn't yet widely available when I dropped my bike budget on a PR7. I didn't have much time before winter set in, only a few hundred miles. You had an entire AZ riding season to thrash the 450 while snow and ice shut me down. In October, I will let you know if the PR7 faired any better. So far, so good. But the engine isn't even broken in yet.

      A guy I’ve conversed with was in your same boat and went with the pr7. He’s loved it, other than some minor issues as well. His bike is very hard to start is the most recent dilemma. Hopefully yours doesn’t have any issues. I think the motor alone makes that bike a good choice.

    I'm getting an aftermarket oil cap ASAP man, that sucks.

      I found the 65cc bike’s caps work!

    Thanks for share. Let's hope with the rear vent solves the problem, you'll tell us.
    Regarding the screw, we can see the grain of the material…poor quality.
    By the way, do you still have the key advance? Do you notice any valve noise? or everything correct? Thanks!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      I had no issues this last weekend with full tanks. It appears the rubber cap gasket was suffocating the vent when it built pressure. I initially put a pin hole in the center of the gasket but that obviously wasn’t enough. I have now cut a bigger hole.
      I’m still running the timing advanced. Initially i thought i noticed some valve tick but no longer. Maybe it wore in?! 😧 but i changed the oil and no excessive flakes in the oil.

    Can you give some explanations on the problems you are having with your KOVE ?
    Has your friend had the same problems with his motorcycle ?
    Hello from France.

      He’s had zero fuel venting issues and STILL has the charcoal canister in his. I have it removed, tanks individually vented and fuel cap rubber gaskets cut to prevent them from choking the vents. However, the rear cap I had not cut the rubber gasket and I think that was the culprit from this event. If you watch my other videos, I talk through all the different issues that have come up. Nothing that is a deal breaker! Thanks for asking! Hello France! Go Dylan Fernandes and Tom Vialle!!

      Yes, I've had zero fuel issues so far. I did have the coolant cap come off after a crash.

    Damn that sucks about the bolt that broke off.

      Yeah! Bogus! I’ve seen another one do that. Horrible design to have it so small. No funnel tip even fits to fill! Wth!?
