Kove 450 Rally Mods & Add-ons Overview & Ride w/ Dirt Byk!

[@ShadowVonChadwick]

I will be interested in the KLX300 compare. Have owned a highly modded 2010 250s/300r for the last 2 years as a re-entry point after 30yrs not riding, so back too my first love. Cheers from downunder 🙃

[@BraapTales]

Sounds good! The KLX300 was also my first bike after a 6 year break living overseas. Was great for a few months but outgrew it too quickly!

Good video, I am doubting, even though they are not of the same category, whether to buy a Tenere 700, Kove 450 Rally or when the 800X comes out, what I like about this bike is that it is very light and does not exceed 200Kg like the others. . Keep it up.

[@BraapTales]

Yes, light is right my friend! The Kove 800X Rally is also lighter than the T7.

[@PaulVincent-i8o]

Lightness not only thing about the KOVE, it's also how it carries its weight - lower CG than a standard dual sport with the tanks an integral and critical part of the design from the start. Simply all around better handling and quicker responding with a full ~8gallons than a lighter KLX300R is with its max ~2gallons.

[@BraapTales]

@@PaulVincent-i8o Yes, the handling is pretty incredible given the size, fuel capacity, and power of the bike. And I know from slapping a Safari tank on a DR650 what it feels like to have horribly balanced fuel tanks. The Kove has none of that problem.

[@advmotoskillz]

That is one well kitted out Kove 👍🏻

[@BraapTales]

Thanks my friend!

[@DirtByk]

Great video! Good job!

[@BraapTales]

Thanks bro!

Very cool bike. If they had been available where i live i would have boight one over the klx300. I do still greatly enjoy my klx so nbd. The kove is the unicorn bike we have all been waiting for. I still hope a japanese manufacturer will come out with something similar

[@BraapTales]

Yes, currently your best option would be a Honda crf450l, which I have ridden and it’s a nice bike, especially off-road, but not quite as versatile as the Kove IMO, and also requires a lot more aftermarket parts. The KTM 500 is also a good option if you have the money. For me the Kove is the all-around best option currently unless you have a sizable budget.

[@joshdoddadbod]

@@BraapTales agreed!

Honestly don't understand poeples issue with the stock windshield. Im like 6"1' and have done days with 1000km highway and not had any issues. Sure a higher one might be better but the stock one really is good for highway as it is. Compared to other fairings I have had on various bikes (old ADV bikes, race bikes etc...) so far Kove stock is the best working stock windshield I have had.

Hi. Great video! Can you advise how to plug a tablet by not connecting it directly to the battery? Have you found a + wire after ignition ON? Thanks!

[@BraapTales]

Yes! The power and ground wires going to the aux USB port are wired ignition on/off. That's where I will be wiring in my DMD Tab and DMD Remote.

[@adv_rider]

Would you please put a link to the moded parts in the description? Thanks

[@BraapTales]

Sure. 90% of the mods can be found on KoveUSA, Uncle Wangs, and Aliexpress. DMDtab is from Thork racing. I will link them when I get a chance.

Hello from France, and thank you for your very well presented video. My future Kove is arriving in a few weeks. You purchased the titanium exhaust line from "Unclewang", they also offer the ECU. Do you think it is the exact copy of your reprogramming made at "Kove USA" ? Do you know anyone who would have purchased an ECU from "Unclewang" ? Thank you and have a good ride.

[@BraapTales]

I don't know if it's exactly the same. Back when I placed my order with Uncle Wang's I tried to order one of their ECUs, but they did not have any in stock. Thank you for watching all the way from France and enjoy your new Kove!

[@allenguimond4634]

Great looking graphics. Where are they from ?🏍

[@BraapTales]

SKDA. They have many nice kits for the Kove
