Dakar 2021 Motorcycle Service: Refreshing Toby Price's KTM 450 Rally

► Watch Dakar Daily on Red Bull TV to follow the 2021 Dakar Rally: win.gs/Dakar2021
Every day on the Dakar Rally roughs you up, and the vehicles take a beating! Whether it's dusty desert roads or steep sand dunes, the bikes that start the day fresh and clean return at the end of the stage a little dirty. No matter whether the special section was short or long, the moment the bikes get into the bivouac the service begins. Watch as Toby Price's mechanic takes care of things for Toby following Stage 2.

I think they are only allowed 6 tires for the whole race so they have to get more than one day out of the tire. I did think that it was interesting that they did change the mousse.

The Norden is due out this year.......fabulous looking bike, but for adventure travel will it be suitable.....fickle electrical components, valve shims and too frequent services.....I’m in the market for one but will wait for the full specification from Husqvarna to be published.

[@pollepost]

Twin Air.. :) nice

[@hansli07]

How often are the valves checked?

[@mohba01]

they dont check valves in the bivovac. the engine change penalty is only 15-20 mins vs checking valves which require a bucket of shims.

[@willschofield1210]

Alinel Woundhorn what ?! KTM engines are good for a whole rally without even a new piston . They would be checking clearances everyday I’m sure . This video skipped alot . Mechanics would be putting some long hours checking and double checking as much as they can .

[@mohba01]

@@willschofield1210 Horseshit. till the year 2016, there has not been any example of KTM factory RR 450's finishing the race on the same engine. infact ktm pussy footed so much that till 2015, the bikes were all carburated. now, please prove me wrong..

[@willschofield1210]

@Alinel Woundhorn that’s because they didn’t get a penalty for swapping out an engine. They could use one spare back then . They were swapping them out because they could. Now they get a penalty so they run the same engine the whole rally no issues at all. Carbys even in modern rally’s have many benifits no doubts about that. Lyndon wrote an interesting article on just this . He’s done dakar on EFI and a carby bike now .

[@mohba01]

@@willschofield1210 ever since Dakar ASO restricted cc to 450 engine swap is always 15 mins penalty. Since you are not aware of history, in 2012 in spite of an engine change , the transmission gave up on Marc coma's bike (2nd engine) , btw the idea of a performance-tuned 450 lasting the whole rally at a competitive pace is absurd. Lyndon can write anything he wants, but the bike he rode "rex bike" was an FI bike , FYI.. 2016 was the first year any ktm finished with the same engine.

[@furyxvanity2946]

Ik guessing those brake pads are pre bedded otherwise the riders have to bed them in in like a quick stop or even if they have quick stops or stuff like that after their changed

[@joshsampiero]

I will ask and get back to you!

[@willschofield1210]

You can’t really pre bed in pads . The bedding in process is just conforming pads to the shape of a worn disc . I would say they just change the discs out at the slightest sign of wear than it’s an non issue .

[@oktayoktem]

Please tell us suspension adjust , tires psi , spesial rally pegs 👍

[@banffdigger]

The suspension you can't buy, the tires have bib mousse and the pegs are probably whatever the rider likes.

[@MarxOutThere]

Zip ties on the spokes?

[@willschofield1210]

If one snaps it’s held in place and doesn’t do damage to other spokes or parts . It’s a trick enduro guys have used forever.

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Is silcone spray good for all axles or is this for desert / sand use only?

[@andycapp8843]

If you’re stripping down every day, grease is just messy and I guess collects sand particles. I have a friend who uses silicone spray on his chains and they are always clean (ish) and last just as long, rides in all weathers but sprays after every ride. It is worth consideration.

[@jamesal0]

is there a tire restriction. The rear tire looked worn out

[@willschofield1210]

Yep they can only use 6 rears for the whole rally . Toby is crazy easy on the gear tho . For example his clutch is good for a whole rally other riders need a new one every other day !

[@user-tt7cb6zg7y]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lizen888]

My dream 💭

[@RevengeAvenger]

The tire restrictions are great for privateers who dont have the money to change tires every day. This is an interesting Dakar for sure. Prodrive and X-Raid are limited to 180kph so Toyotas big $€£,000,000 Tier vehicles can keep up.

[@benlondon8467]

If ya can afford to do a Dakar, you are not worried about cost of tyres everyday.

[@TimothyKelley007]

No tire change? I’d figure they’d put a fresh tire on but they didn’t ? Or maybe they leave that on and change tire right before the special. 🤷‍♂️

This year, riders have only 6 tyres to last the whole event, so they are being conservative and only changing tyres when necessary.

[@ianjones2731]

I can see why the technical manager for KTM isn't their PR guy 😁

[@TechnikMeister2]

THis is why Dakar is artificial compared to the ISDT. In that six day event the bike has to be showoon stock and the rider has to do his own maintenence within the timed stages and only chains and brake pad are allowed to be changed. Punctures had to be repaired...no spare tyres. All tools and parts had to be carried on the bike. You have no access to any external assistance or parts, no pit crew...just you. Dakar should adopt these rules and make it a true test of skill and endurance.
