Race to Dakar 2020, Africa Eco rally Race, Team Races to Places Ep. 2 with Lyndon Poskitt Racing LPR

[@friendofdeer261]

Could easily sit in the corner in his garage, drinking yorkshire tea, and watching the bike get built. Such a fulfilling journey

[@ianreid3864]

All the best in the race. This should be on Netflix one day.

[@gabrielegoria1443]

Your bike rebuilds are always oddly satisfying to watch. Good job Lyndon!

[@greatfallskam]

Nice to see KLIM and few other vendors step up to the plate. As a KLIM gear guy....from my Krios Pro helmet to my Badlands, and Kodiak roller....two thumbs up KLIM. Thanks for another episode Lyndon. Rocks !

[@pascalnungasser1178]

I love these technical episodes with the explanations and also why you’re doing it this way! Really coool! Thanks for sharing this!

[@NK-dl2nc]

Cable tie massacre...I used to build military vehicles for Alvis and most of the builders would leave the ties cut badly. I was often sent out to do service work on the vehicles and would get ripped to bits by the Sharp ends.. nightmare! Good video Lyndon and good luck mate👍

[@davidneale5821]

I'm really enjoying the prep and build up. Can't wait for the race to start 😀

[@simonhantler8062]

Absolute perfection build. I’m surprised KTM haven’t offered you a job in engineering development. People like you are rare as a vegan at a BBQ.

[@osimnod]

Always a treat to see the behind the scenes work of prepping your steed. Excellent detail and rationale for each step. In honor of your bikes name, perhaps a clip of "The Four Yorkshiremen" skit is in order?

[@owenturnbull6424]

Those bikes are looking fantastic, nothing nicer than seeing a new bike being put together. Will be following the team's fortunes closely in the race. Well done Lyndon for putting this together.

[@Stue007]

Because of Races to Places I bought the Klim Carlsbad Suit recently for traveling with my trusty BMW R 1200 GS Rallye - wish you and your team all the best!!

[@Belindaxtz660]

Wow! Quickest 19:33 great vlog! Love your bike prep videos Lyndon 🤙💯🏍😉Such attention to detail! "Fail to prepare...prepare to fail" Wishing you and all the team the very best of luck..😘

[@aryaadimanggala]

Waiting for you and your team on the podium. Good luck lyn

[@robertfreel1427]

Excellent video yet again this is going to best series yet😃. Once the race is done you should raffle one of the bikes £100 a ticket if a won it would be in the living room and be the steed for trying to get to do my own rallye. Thanks again Lyndon best series on you tube

[@Vince_vanca]

As a total mechanical idiot..I am really impressed on the amount of preparation and attention to details you put on this bike...

[@markjohnson8352]

Love the attention to detail. Thank you for showing us the process.

Father and son what a great thing to do.

[@darrylbelcher1691]

Me and my dad rebuild motors and shit. The most fun part is when i want something and he doesn't like it its on like donkey Kong hahaha

[@deanhenthorn8674]

There is so much to do on a bike! Even as a rider / racer myself the amount of work that goes into a rally bike for this kind of race is insane. Well done on the prep and logistics alone is impressive. The riding, well thats the reward. Good luck

[@kevinwhite2380]

Great video's . But, please, please - keep an eye on your van this time!...

[@DanielMores]

I get so much inspiration from watching your build vids ... how you use zip ties, noticed the side stand rubber thingie, wiring the R clips ... too bad it's cold as frik or I'd go zip-tie-crazy right now :-D

[@ianpicken3442]

These for me are the best vids you do, I love to see what goes into such a project on the bike building side of it. Love the piece about flush cutting zip ties! Nowt like being stung by one while trying to work quickly on a bike! Lyndon I'd love to know how many zip ties are on each bike?

[@marcelhustleassel8776]

something really nice about watching that grease go down to those holes :D

[@boulx]

can t wait for the next ones / amazing job showing us how u doing it*****

[@marknewman6037]

Lyndon..........superb video.

[@jankeesvanwijngaarden]

O yeah another episode, I love it!

[@zemquoi]

I would sweep your shop floors for a month, if you would let me watch and hand you tools while you build bikes! I love seeing your builds in detail.

[@alexkovalevski1238]

Good luck Lyndon!!!

[@adventureofcourse]

I can tell you work really hard! 👏

[@douglasmorrow8004]

Flush cut zip ties, always. No one needs a sliced hand in the middle of an adventure or even in the shop.I actually found some that work like a belt. Nearly a perfect circle.

[@janwalor736]

Great looking ride. Really looking forward to the race. 🤙

That was cool to watch, good luck boys.

[@smacdougall100]

Thx for another fantastic episode Lyndon; really loving these! Do you end up doing anything differently on successive bikes, or have you been doing this long enough that there are no surprises, or changes required on the builds? Thx again :-).

[@outty77]

I am having KTM wiring woes myself, just a little 350 EXC-F but still an alarming number of wires. I cannot imagine how time consuming it is to wire up your Dakar bikes FIVE TIMES!

[@outty77]

@@lyndonposkitt I have dielectric grease and lots of zipties on my shopping list. Cheers!

[@terrellirma]

Have you ever had issues with Dielectric grease causing connection issues? I know that you maintain and change harness/electric products regularly. As a polaris tech I have seen a LOT of issues with polaris RZRS where the customers read on a online forum to pack their fuse boxes and relays/connectors with dielectric grease and having connection issues with relays/fuses later on. Most of these are on mudbuggies. But I have seen this issue with units used for trail/rock crawling as well. Love the vids!

[@seanfrench1029]

Exciting build up. Question: When are the motors of these newly built bikes run-in and, for how long before let loose for high performance at the start of the first stage?

[@greatfallskam]

Lyndon question about the dielectric grease. Does the grease attract dust and usual debris? If so how do you clean the dielectric grease from the Molex connectors. Do you also dip and cover the outside of the spark plug with dielectric grease?

[@petermuller7687]

I think we'd all really appreciate a bit more details as to why you choose which parts on the bikes, especially small things like the fork sleeves for example. Obviously that's a bit late seeing how the bikes are now all built, but maybe when you rebuild a different bike?

[@petermuller7687]

@@lyndonposkitt That makes sense, still, thank you very much for trying and providing this amazing content!

superbe, j'ai adoré!

[@thedogchannel4122]

That's some bike mate, And your Great on it!!!! Cool as F☆☆k!!!!

[@joshbrook6849]

Love these clips! Interested to know what the oil capacity is?

[@msrx08]

Just some questions: 1) How many liters in the fuel tanks? They seems small in front of the old Dakar bikes. 2 No water tanks in the motor guard? Five liters of water were mandatory in the old Dakar and they were stocked in the motor guard.

[@magicferra877]

The tanks may seem small, but they have different shapes and positions than 20 years ago and they can carry 30+ liters (referring about the last models). You can easily find it on Google, the 2020 Rally KTMs have 31 liters fuel capacity. Talking about the water tank, if you stop the video at 17:20 you can see the plastic tank attached on the bashplate, right where it should be.

[@supraman160]

The fuel is spread out . the reat frame is actually a 15 or 16 l tank , and up front theres something close to 10l each side... just isnt as bulky up top to allow greater mobility on the bike similar to a narrow dirt bike.

[@msrx08]

Ok, thank you, I did see the white part but didn't know it was the water tank.

[@msrx08]

Thanks Lyndon, 32 liters is a huge amount of fuel (my motorbike tank is 9 liters only) but the old Paris-Dakar bikes brought more than 50 liters, if I remember well. Maybe the stages are shorter in the Africa Eco Race?

[@bradleyalexander5821]

🙏 All the Best 🙏

[@gsmad9738]

Ace vid. I’d like to know how much you strip the bike down after every ride? If you completed a half day shake down ride after the build - how much do you strip back down to check?

[@Rangerglx]

Who makes those zip strip cutters. I’ve drawn much blood from sharp zip tie ends?

[@cruzin221]

great content. can i recommend you get a decent mic for when you're in the shop far from the camera.

[@EngineerK]

Cool. Not sure I'm down with dielectric grease though. Seems counter intuitive. What is the tire plan and mousse or tubes? Cheers from Canada 🍁 🍁 🍁

[@CraigOverend]

So long as the pressure at the mating surfaces of the connector is adequate to push the low viscosity dielectric grease out there shouldn't be any problems unless using high frequency and the dielectric acts like a capacitor, else high current where there's potential for arcing and carburization of the grease.

[@keithkeeble7483]

Great videos I am hooked if I would like to buy a bike yours what’s the cost? Also are doing racers to places t shirts we can buy if so were can I get one

can i ask you what kind of teeth (chain - sprocket) ratio do you have on the bike?

[@imochasingh6875]

Dielectric grease!! Could someone tell me how does dielectric works? Where can I find it online?

Try google, it will tell you how it works and where you can buy it

[@Captndarty]

How can you even ask that question? You’re obviously already online so type it in do a search and you’ll get more information than you ever want to know about it.

What are the total costs for racing the rally for one bike/ one rider?

[@damobj74]

Brilliant

[@moslimislam5714]

18:10 I noticed that he is releasing the start button twice before it starts on purpose. Why does he do that?

[@Pilusajaib]

My guess is, since it's a fully rebuild bike and engine, he wanted to make sure all the fluid like the oil, coolant, and fuel to flow through the bike first then start it.

[@bruce_muzik]

Probably to prime the fuel injectors with fuel.

[@connorp1513]

To prime oil system

[@moslimislam5714]

Lyndon Poskitt Sounds like a smart thing to do. Thanks!
