First Service for the Kove 450 Rally at the Dealership + Front Wheel Balancing

[@קוביריש]

This kind of videos should be produced by all manufactors!

Itzik: GREAT video! I'm in USA, 2024 Standard Offroad Pro model. Regarding the steel screens, he did it right, your oil was very clean when it came out. Those screens are for large particles. If the magnet on the drain plug/primary screen is OK, you can skip that one side like he did. Good tips on greasing o-rings. I add 1.8 ltr oil when changing the paper filter and both screens. Please thank your technician from me for allowing us to see the right way to do this oil change, I am forwarding this to other owners! There is so much different info on this procedure- this one is correct. Front wheel- yup, those need balancing. I used the same weights you did- I removed the caliper so the wheel spun freely to balance it. Not as good as his technique with the balancing stand but I got it close enough. Those bead locks are heavy! Now do the rear wheel! Stops all the weaving on the pavement. Again- great video, great dealer- very, very nice of them to let us in their shop to see your Tech work on your bike, so don't forget to buy him a beer! And for more pep and smoother running, I highly recommend the Coober exhaust and ECU. You will love it! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'm so happy you liked the video. Yes, this dealership is fantastic-they’re incredibly helpful and kind to owners. It’s not always easy being an early adopter, but they’re doing their best to provide us with the best service possible. I’ll share your comment with Omer; he’ll love to see it!

Thanks for the video!! I'd love to see a valve check/replacement when it comes time!

[@OverlandTheSlowWay]

Great video! To remove the oil filter you can also use the sump plug magnet 🧲! For the valve check, you have to remove the fan on the left side radiator to allow space to remove the rocker cover. The buckets are marked underneath with the size, so it's easy to order the correct new bucket!

Excellent video.👍

[@Itzik_Arazi]

thanks ! , I am happy you liked the video

[@marcobellomo9034]

Video molto interessante. Questa moto ha problemi per lo sfiato della benzina o tale problema e' stato risolto? La moto risulta affidabile? Grazie anticipatamente.

[@Itzik_Arazi]

Thanks, I am glad you liked the video :-) There are no fuel consumption issues with this bike. I filled both the front and rear tanks and consistently got good range (although I haven’t done an official range test yet). As for reliability, so far, I haven’t heard of anyone mentioning engine issues, so I’m hopeful for the best.

[@verenchook]

I have to do first time service too

[@Itzik_Arazi]

As you can see from the video, the process is pretty easy. Good luck! Please note in the video description that the mechanic didn’t check the right-side screen filter during this service, but you can check it

[@verenchook]

@ all done. Screen cleaned

[@collinslagat3458]

Omer needs to create content.

[@Itzik_Arazi]

I'll let him know you said that :-)

[@tcrossau]

Best to change that rimlock. Stock is ultra heavy.

[@Itzik_Arazi]

@@tcrossau That's a good idea , I will put it on the to do list for the future 👍

[@kennypoulsen9003]

He missed the right screen filter…

[@Itzik_Arazi]

Thanks for the message ! I am checking this with the dealership now

[@Itzik_Arazi]

So the official respond from the dealership is : If the oil comes out clean without any metal shavings, there’s really no need to take apart the additional filter, but it will be checked at the next 1000 km service.

[@corsaire1773]

You missed a small filter on the right like the one on the left 😕😕😕

[@katangilis]

Hi, How many KM between services for this bike?

[@Itzik_Arazi]

@@katangilis The service intervals at the beginning are: 500 km then 1000 Km, followed by 2000 km and after that every 2000 km.

[@kennypoulsen9003]

And you should also balance the rear wheel.

[@Itzik_Arazi]

Yes ,I will probably do it at the next service when I also replace the rear sprocket to 51T

[@Jonathan-ez8tq]

In my honest opinion the first service at 500kms is useless… makes absolutely no sense, kove should only ask for the 1000´s one.

[@Itzik_Arazi]

@@Jonathan-ez8tq You are absolutely right, BUT I think they want to play it safe by including the extra 500 km service to ensure everything is ok. For the first year,while the bike is under warranty, I recommend following the service schedule outlined in the manual . That way you will be covered in case anything goes wrong .
