Special YAMAHA WR450F Rally Kit Bike Build

[@PetreRodan]

I like the bikes that you prepare. if only you could record the build itself :)

[@earl6969]

You guys build some very impressive bikes. Loving the wr's. I'm building a 2003 wr450f with 106 miles on it for it's 20th anniversary. My budget is 20,000. U.S. so it should be a monster when I finish. I'll definitely give you credit as one of my favorite builders as well as the WOB. Cheers

[@robertrishel3685]

Beautiful build! The livery is fantastic, just perfect! The bumblebee livery is the ultimate Yamaha colours! The bike is pure the perfect art/engineering blend...gorgeous! What a great dual purpose/adventure bike this would be!

[@jcxxmotoxx]

Manuel, coming from a guy that started on a black & yellow 1978 YZ80.....your graphics are a beautiful modern take. Fantastic build, I'll be calling when my lotto win comes through, cheers!

[@tafflloyd6020]

I'm amazed every time I see one of your builds. Keep up the great work 👍

[@brianmorse8811]

I love the yellow! I had a yellow Yamaha back in the late 70's. it was my first bike and I jest have so much joy in seeing bikes that remind me of her. ;p

[@bitiberg]

Really loved the Andreani - Ohlins touch!!! What a beautiful video & build to watch. 🇬🇷

[@efraimadventure]

Incredible toy! Very adaptable and of great functionality. congratulations on the work. A big hug from Brazil.

[@philpietersen8700]

Hug!? PMS Moment?

[@SuperOle2011]

Being such a big Yamaha fan, could we perhaps see a road legal, rally/adv build of the NEW 2024 WR450f, which is said to be quite a big improvement over previous generation?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Absolutely, I am trying to save up in order to be able to buy a 2024 WR450F to make it into adv/rally build

[@lhurst9550]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Looking for a rear fuel tank that will work on the '24 WR450F. Can you let us know what you find?

[@Shanedudeify]

Beautifully done. Puts my 16 to shame

Manuel - great build, love the classic Yamaha USA colours - more videos please....

[@naegelip]

Mamma mia.... just too beautiful!

Top build and a great looking bike. Mick

[@ludikonj8927]

Nice, but I’m waiting for husky long range.. it could be a t7 killer for me 😁

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Coming out in some weeks, still need to design a cool graphic kit for it

[@wirarocket8518]

I wish this kind of kit available for small bike, like WR 155 :)

[@SureMoAdventures]

Great job,congrats mate,defo curious in cost .

[@adventureallanglesaus6826]

Beautiful

[@dariohazewinkel8213]

Very nice build, what were the costs to make it how it is now? Nice vid too!

[@davidhardstaff8110]

Wish you were UK based..

[@zzxx33mh]

beauty Yes, & when you have unlimited budget then.. 😁💙

Great job on the build!!

[@cescpalatsi6659]

Sei un genio, compa!

[@greatfallskam]

Happy Holidays Manuel. Since you build all these custom 450 Rally Raid ready bikes, I had couple questions about steering damper. What types of steering dampers do you see on Rally type bikes? Always over handlebar type like Scotts or do you also see under steering damper like the HyperPro? Thanks.

[@stephenrogers9664]

Wow Beautiful Want one 👍

[@TigertrailCh]

Very nice bike, love it....

[@SPENJERE]

" not a fucking airplane " Love it.

[@rickasdnorth]

hi Manuel how heavy is the tower incl the plastics? and why a wrap-around exhaust, id expect its more labourintensive if you need to work on the engine?? looks good, might show my WR450 off.. when its finished.. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Sinserg]

Amazing build! Just one question the electric fuel pump located on the extra tank will only deliver half of it's capacity to the main fuel thank, does that means that it is not possible to use more than half of the capacity of the extra fuel tank?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Hi Sergio, the fuel pump can be programmed as we made a little ecu where we can set a timer that we want for it to shut off automatically because if you leave and forget electric fuel pumps on this will result in the fuel pump breaking

[@Sinserg]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Oh it work in time frame basis I understand, what would be the maximum fuel capacity that you could use off of the external fuel tank without having to risk braking the fuel pump?

[@lucamarinone314]

Cool Bus a 2 ruote :D

[@mischi7920]

Ist this Rally Kit also for the WR450F 2022? Or can i take the Rally Kit from the Fantic XEF450 Rally?

[@PedroPereira-qc1sv]

Hey MANUEL top bike! Love it! how much can cost this bike?

[@gustavoromerolp]

Why you choose the 2015 model? And not the new models?

[@felipearaujo8917]

Maravilha

[@frakkio99]

Ciao pensavo di prendere un WR400 da utilizzare come base per una adv bike, cosa mi dai dire riguardo l'affidabilità? Utilizzo sia strada che sterrato leggero

[@heinoschiller4500]

Do you consider racing a similar bike on the 2021 Dakar?

[@family4x4pl]

Where I can buy fuse box like this that you are using? I checked your website, no items

[@olefart398]

I’m interested in the rear aux fuel tank. Where can I get one?

[@simmo123]

I have a wr450f 2018, would like one of those rear fuel tanks. Had a look at the Rally Kit site and cant see the fuel tank ?? Where do you buy from ?? THANKS

[@bikeboysbs]

good question do you know it by now

[@hassanabdelrahman5228]

I got yamaha wr 450 2007 how can i modification to rally bike ?

[@edwardquihuis4928]

Do you keep the battery, stator, starter stock?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Battery I put a lithium battery whereas stator I keep stock

[@erwanaprianta7922]

how about kawasaki?

[@markpaulo269]

Non solo Yamaha sara gelosa di questa WR450f rally, ma anch'io da trialista che non ha senso.

[@thomasschattat13]

So you worry about the coolant hoses but keep the original radiators? Why not using bigger radiators? Why a RNS remote control but no RNS tripmaster? Where do you mount the IRI track? I don't see an option to mount the rally compulsary rear mirror. 7 liters fuel added, is that all? Enough for 250kms in the desert? No rear wheel shock dampers? The gear box will not like that. But at least you took care of beauty..

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thomas Schattat there is on the left side of the tower the Iritrack bracket placement we just didn’t install it as for Tuareg it’s not needed. The owner of the bike already had an Ico trip and a MigTec Roadbook so installed what he gave me. Fuel capacity for Tuareg rally 15 liter is enough for Morocco desert challenge we will place a front 15 liter and keep the rear 7 liters. The bike is built to race first Tuareg which is a much easier rally, for MDC Iritrack, Ertf GPS, antennas and extra fuel and rear Cush drive wheel will be mounted but it would be senseless to install them for Tuareg and maybe end up damaging the Ertf, Iritrack etc that is not used

[@alejandroav3959]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Hi Manuel, just to add, check the latest version of the FIM regulations, the 3-liter water tank is no longer mandatory (nº80.28 in page 73), take care mate.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Alejandro Aros hi Alejandro! Thanks a lot!!! Unfortunately for Tuareg rally it was still compulsory at the moment of the build. Instead in the FIM rallies I didn’t know about it as a few things are changing like also the obligation of air bag on the rider for Dakar so I will definitely go check the rule you sent me :) . Will I see you at Dakar 2021??

[@alejandroav3959]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Unfortunately not, this year I was out in the fifth stage, so my plan was to compete again in 2021, but the coronavirus situation makes it impossible for now to get the economic resources

[@torevenheim9607]

This bike can never compete with a factory Dakar rally bike

[@harryohanson]

Can I have one lol

[@jessemacneil2723]

a 11 grand bike just became a 22 grand bike . NOT WORTH IT

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Depends, if you need to race it in a Rally the nav equipment, tanks etc is necessary or they won't let you take the start

[@tafflloyd6020]

Its still $20 000 les than a KTM 450 Rally
