reviewers say the engine lacks power :(

Great video! I'm doing similar stuff to my Kove 450 Rally. Have you put your bike on a dyno to check the fuelling on the HP Corse exhaust with the US Decat map? If not, I'll add that to my list of combinations to check on mine, as I'm endeavouring to do all the combinations I can get my hands on. 👍 Lovely riding down there. I've done a few of those lanes with Nathan Millward. Yet to take the Kove down that way but keen to!

Hi bud all good stuff, i'm based nr wellington if you ever need someone to accompany you to get that footage you mentioned just drop me a message. I have various bikes from enduro to race bikes and everything in-between so would pretty much have the terrain covered. Also be interested to see a Kove in the flesh.👍😃

18:34 hope he got away unscathed

if you could have only one bike what would you chose among the 890 ADV R, the 1290 ADV R and the Africa Twin?

Great to see you back!! Lighter is def better when it comes to offroad - 890 as much as I love them is always going to be a big ask in technical stuff unless you're the size of Tarres or the have the skills of Birchy. I've ridden the pro version up at Sweetlamb and will hopefully be buying one this year (2025) for a desert rally later in the year. The Guys up at sweet lamb now have a couple and do one to one training - can certainly recommend them for improving skills and helping with your road book journey as they also do RB nav training too. What's the rack on the back BTW?

Whats the MPG and tank range?

Sold my 790 and replaced it with a 701 for the same weight reasons Lighter is certainly better.

How does the Kove 450 Rally ( Standard ) compare to a KTM 690 Enduro R / Husky 701? On paper still seems like a heavy bike. Is ther anyway to not use all 8 gallon gas tank by closing off rear fuel tank? Are the gas tanks clear enough to see the fuel level? Thanks for video. Look forward to more Kove reviews, real life service, etc.

12T off 51T or 52T on the rear, you said fitting the 12T lowers the gearing more than going larger on the rear, gearing is gearing it’s just maths and as already said your chain will love you longer. Oh, and get some training. Finally, take off the bash plate and clean the oil cooler gently.

oh yeah, sick stickers and a wicked bike

you are on the right path , singles ftw🙂 a 12 tooth though? oooft that chain is gonna hate you and quick fast

Decals look great...👍

Nice looking Bike didn't take long to pick it up 😉

No water on air filter 😮

Speech only from left channel, annoying. 😵

good honest viewpoints thank you as a short ass 57 year old shopping for some new metal interesting points, I have short legs less than 29"" and a wonky ankle courtesy of a 450exc how does the seat height compare to the 890 (r) I presume which I have written off as too tall for myself?

You appear to want to improve your riding by buying a better bike instead of improving your skills. It never works out well, you spend a lot of money, get frustrated and then give up on riding. Get your skills sorted first and then video the progress your making, would be far more interesting than the bike you are riding.

It’s great to see you back, always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the road book rally’s.

Great video mate 👍

Reckon a Voge 300 Rally would have been just the job for you without all the faffing around trying to sort the Kove👍

Thanks for sharing. Regarding the "noise": how much of the noise is due to the open air filter (intakte)? Regards yaK450n (yet another Kove 450 noob)

Any update on the e10 rear performance? Cheers

What about ear indents for speakers?

After the KTM 1090S and the 1290S I’m now enjoying my R 😊 I have bought it this summer and your talk about it being nimble is spot on! The flickability is amazing for such a heavy ( on paper that is😉)bike The QS is a dream and the V2 - power is as addictive on this R as it was on the S The suspension on this R is the most surprising part of this bike Speed bumps and potholes have become insignificant nuisances 😇 Next year I’ll visit the UK 🇬🇧 and the Isle of Man Looking forward riding the twisties in your lovely country 💪 Keep up the good work and I wish you safe miles on the road 👋

That was painful to watch. CF MOTO 450.

Hi! Thanks for the great review video 😊 Quick question: can you confirm that you can wear goggles WITH the visor installed? You could with an older version but it would rely on (or create) a gap where the strap exits to the rear. I’m assuming the visor would not fully close… maybe!

Same here, 2022 adv 890 r wont start, mtc failure... At least it has a warranty

I’m surprised there aren’t more videos about KTM 890 ADVENTUREtank damage. I ride mine in the woods and have hit my tank several times. The mounting points on the frame are bent. The crash bars connect to the same weak mounts as the tank. I thing the tank is way too wide at the bottom. Someone should make an aftermarket tank that has a narrower shape

Alex are you still about

The power of these lights is great. But what good is it to have powerful light when the housings made of aluminum turn onto white powder reminiscent of talc ? These lamps are expensive, but I followed advise when told “cheap ends up being expensive”. In this case these expensive lamps are not only expensive but so far Denali refused to acknowledge this issue and told me off, so I was basically ripped off. I have plenty evidence , photographic evidence to show these lights are not worth the expense. Not only because the lamps were not made of quality materials but most offensive is fact Denali cares less ! Do not buy this product unless you like to throw money out the window !

A little concerned about the number of times he says "I'm really getting used to this bike". Seems its not a bike that requires some "getting used to".

Hello, I liked your video and I was interested in the screen, what brand and model is it? I tried to install a Givi model S screen on my sar, but it was too high, thank you

I'm thinking of buying the same stand, but have the WP XPLOR PRO suspension (same as the one on the 890 Rally) with 270mm of travel. Do you think the motorcycle will be raised enough for the wheels to not touch the ground with the extra 30 mm?

it's a great helmet but i honestly think it's overpriced.

Great Review - is the transitions visor now Road legal in the UK?

i just have this Klim..actually ,i had airoh commander size XXL,but this Klim size L and it's comfort for me..the foam is so comfort for me

Thanks for sharing a great video. Some very useful information, and practical information. It’s a great channel, hopefully you’ll be uploading more videos soon?

Super job! Thanks so much for making this video; I have to change the tire on a friend's 890 tomorrow, so this was super-helpful.

The Klim Krios Pro is a $800 helmet after taxes. You would expect perfection in all aspects and it's almost there BUT the visor will NOT stay where you place it. Open it up a few notches for extra air, first little dip or bump in the road and SLAM down it comes! I love everything about this helmet except the hinge plates. They are very cheaply made. It makes me wonder if anyone that actually rides tests them?? It is a $800 helmet WT Actual F?!

Block and tackle doesn't take up much room and makes lifting/recovery solo so much easier. You can balance the bike and pull on the rope at the same time (using the compound mechanical advantage).

You probably should’ve put the kickstand up before you start lifting it. It might stop the bike from falling over the other side. Not exactly sure in your situation. Just a thought.

Man I sure wish motea shipped to US!

Excellent helmet review of the Klim Krios Pro. Choosing a Helmet can be somewhat of a minefield. I appreciate your in depth review and this has help me to narrow things down somewhat.

I just roll the rear wheel into a socket tool used to tighten the lug and it does the same thing without having to strap the bike.

Just one problem with UK bike reviews. The road speeds are a joke and no one's game enough to give a bike some stick. Just putting around.

you explained it best. super

Thanks for the video What grease do you use?

How noisy is it? Motolegends advertises it as a great urban and off road helmet but a poor one for touring because of the noise. Would you agree?
