Absolutely LOVE Jarvis, best guy we have for the sport, by far and there are some great guys. Even if he had a kick starter you would have kicked until your leg fell off.

[@i_knucklebump7212]

Such a shame. Jarvis is the goat and by far my favorite to watch. I guess the idea behind the D.Q. Would be that any racer could have a decent mechanic enter the race as a competitor and keep an eye out for “their guy” on the trail, help him iron out any mechanical issues if they see him down, and it’s not cheating because it’s another racer. Comes down to shit luck I suppose. Hope Jarvis has another year in him!!!

[@marazo]

Though the 'mechanic' would have to be a kick ass rider himself to be able to participate. In Erzberg it's 1500 drivers narrowed down to 500 starting for the main event.

[@wynandsijben338]

Even of they all did that, what is the issue? You aren't going to be on the podium if you have a mechanical issue and have to wait for your mechanic to catch up and fix it. If your mechanic is close enough to do that he'd finish on the podium himself

So was it really the fuel line not being fully clicked in or was it the spark plug?

[@Lewis_8]

It was the fuel line connection not being fully clicked in. You can hear that it's fuel starvation. It sort of starts but then bogs down with any throttle. Straight away I though fuel. The plug wouldn't give those sort of symptoms

[@P4ddyC4ke]

On the surface, that does not look like a DQ, as the help he received was from another rider. I did see the guy in the blue shirt, touch the front light a couple times... maybe that was considered outside help? I'd like to see the actual rules used for grounds of DQ. He certainly gained no advantage, starting at the very beginning and hour after everyone else. This was a career defining ride to come from an hour late start to 10th. This solidifies him as the GOAT from here to eternity.

[@PNW_Trials_Adventures]

Yeah, according to Jarvis, a team manager touched the bike and that's what did it. Seems pretty chickenshit to me.

[@MC0386]

Not fair for Jarvis to be disqualified

[@garthlundquist3623]

The spark plug on a TPI 300 can be changed without completely removing the fuel tank but it needs to be loosened from the shrouds and center securing bolt enough to lift it up a bit for clearance. It helps to put dielectric grease on the spark plug rubber insulator cap to speed removal and installation. In thousands of operating hours I have never seen a spark plug insulator crack because of running through water. TPI spark plugs can last 200 hours. Those that fail early are usually in conjunction with degraded MAP sensors, degraded coolant temp sensors, or because of too much injected oil during cold start cycles because of improper warm up. The factory plastic dry break fuel fitting is problematic. It can shear on impact, and the fuel can fail to flow through even if it clicks together upon reassembly. The tiny O ring is a unique size and can leak when nicked. Fuel flow through the fitting is almost impossible to check trailside. The best way is to disconnect a fuel line past the dry break fitting and hit the starter. This is impossible with the factory fuel clamps. I replace mine with field serviceable fuel injection clamps for this reason. In the shop a fuel pressure gauge can quickly determine if the fuel pump is working and providing 50 PSI. One can also remove the fuel cap and look into the tank and see if any fuel is being returned into the tank from the pump. I carry a 2’ length of fuel hose fitted with the injector side half of the dry break fitting. With this I can quickly test the fuel system trailside. Takes 60 seconds. In any no run scenario take the dry break fitting apart and reassemble it. Sometimes that is all it takes to restore fuel flow. Just leaning on the starter button and running down the battery is a bad idea. Once the voltage drops below 10.5 volts the ECU won’t work and the fuel pump won’t pump, regardless of whether you have a kick starter installed or not. Always save enough battery to run these two critical components, or you won’t be able to tow start it either. I carry a spare battery or jumpers in my van for such contingencies. An emergency starting capacitor will only provide enough energy for a brief starting attempt. Also remember that poor electrical grounds can mimic the same failures. KTM models in particular frequently fail at the bonding point of the battery ground cable and the rear aluminum subframe. The dissimilar metals ( steel and aluminum) react when electricity passes through them, gradually breaking down the conductivity of the connection. I have seen bikes fail because of this in as little as 2 years. Take all your battery and starter connections apart every year, clean them, and reassemble with dielectric grease, especially in damp or humid operating conditions. In extreme cases an extra ground cable was run directly from the battery to the engine. Always carry an extra new spark plug and a thin spark plug wrench. Good luck. I have learned all this the hard way.

Mr. Jarvis restarted. Another way of putting it would be he went back to start but an hour late and that does not give him any advantage. In terms of his other two disqualifications, just look at how poorly trained the check crews are while using outdated technology. I have great respect for Mr. Jarvis’ calm and class through all of this. The race promoters are suspect of bias.

That guy is a legend, should have never been DQd, especially having that big of a set back

[@Dom-nt4gn]

Totally unfair for them to DQ Jarvis. To go from 500 to 10th with an injured bike is something that people will be talking about for years, it brings attention to the sport. To DQ such a feat is a mistake. I know there is a diagnostic criteria cascade, I am surprised (at least as it appeared) at how much time the mechanic spent trying to force the bike to run. Fuel, air, spark, compression and timing. I feel like this diagnostic session shouldn't have taken an hour. However, easier said from my computer chair rather than with a full blown adrenaline dump at the start of the race. First verify spark which he did by zapping himself (apparently these bikes wont spark if there is no pressure wave from the CCPS so you need 2 spark plugs to confirm spark via grounding). Once spark is confirmed, address fueling as it is unlikely that timing, compression, or air are the problem. If unable to address or investigate fueling I would have swapped an ECU next. Could have had Graham swapping ECUs while he worked with the sparkplug. Really surprised they did not have a spark wrench in their gear bag. Really interested to see that they appear to use a lot more aftermarket stuff than I thought. For instance I was under the impression the factory guys ran the stock map and head. Further sold on the TSP kit after seeing this video.

[@TrailBoundco]

To be fair the mechanic was not a mechanic he was just a racer on jarvis team that saw he needed help so he stopped to help him. Also keep in mind jarvis is no longer on the factory husky team. He has his own team so he is choosing his own sponsors. However I’m sure the factory guys have modded heads and cdi but they just look stock

[@mas4133]

I had the same experience with my '20 300 XCW TPI after doing some routine winter work on bike wherein I had removed, drained fuel tank to check compression @ then 115 hrs. As spring time came, with fresh fuel added in tank, I rode bike ~ 1 mile w/o opening power valve, then bike simply died when opening to 3/4 throttle as if running out of fuel! Let it sit, started & died couple times, then nothing. After tow back to my shop, found the culprit to be that the KTM design alum insert/cone filter wasn't fully latched into the plastic quick disconnect!!!!!. No fuel leaks seen. Obviously fuel flow was restricted by plunger of QD. My lesson learned is to assure proper connection and full latch of fuel components. BTW, I redesigned the 90 degree fuel tank fitting using 6061 alum to connect directly to a chrome plated brass QD, eliminating the 90 degree formed hose creating a more robust unit for hard enduros---applications 2S TPIs and FI 4Ss. If interested, email me, [e-mail] Limited availability.

[@SkinnySkinch]

You don't need 2 spark plugs to verify spark with these bikes. Take plug out and leave cap on, put plug next to cylinder and hold starter button... it'll show spark if it's got spark just like any other dirt bike TPI or not.

I’ve had that fuel hose issue get me on my 21’ Beta 350 Race model. Once was after adjusting the valves. You talk about a sinking feeling! Clicked the line completely together and it fired right up.

In-line fuel filter not clipped in all the way? I sold my 2016.5 KTM 450sxf and was showing the purchaser where the filter was when he bought it. Rang me up next day irate that I’d sold him a piece of shit, took a while for me to click to the problem, I obviously didn’t push it right in after showing him. I thought he might’ve cooked the ECU coz he was jump starting it off of his van’s battery. Needless to say he wasn’t a happy camper 😂

ANY dirt bike should have a kick....ALWAYS, have a kick when off road riding, an electric start will never be enough. You can be bogged in the mud where water kills all electric, then what do you do ??? STUPID !!

[@chadanderson2486]

New bikes are junk!!! Too many electrical components. Sensors, injectors, high pressure hoses and fittings, fans, auto clutches etc..... Real enduro bikes have always been dead nuts reliable. Not fancy, easy to ride, comfy, technology showcases.

[@wesguitarguy9536]

Can we just point out that Darush(sorry if that's not how you spell it) is an ultra chad stealing parts off his own bike to help him.

[@nicolajthybring8706]

The kickstart won’t work with no battery because the fuel pump and everything is powered by the battery

Check out his GoPro footage of passing 500 riders in one of the hardest hard enduros in the world.

[@matthewtoes6433]

After Good years you have bad ones and 2022 was bad for Graham, watching the onboard footage of manni Letinbichler he was in no rush if Graham was in the Mix he would of caught the leader and past him in Carls dinner gone on to win 6th erzberg.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

Looks like not many here know what actually happened and this video is misleading because it doesn't have footage of Grant coming over. The rules this year were no outside help and even Graham didn't argue this which is why is did not protest the result to pick up the 6 points he would have received for his 10th place finish: “It’s fair enough,” says Graham straight up. “Grant helped and touched my bike and that’s a rule.”

[@losantonio9049]

Very unfair. I'm shocked! Are you serious about his mechanic? That's what shocks me. Why else would he have his mechanic then? Why would another racer want to help instead of continuing to win his/her competition ??

[@509FUN]

Killing lithium batteries left and right. Surprised they didn’t cause a combustion of one

[@randerson7761]

First thing I learned about bikes: If it ain't spark or gas, it's something bad.

[@chrishall848]

Absolutely dumbfounded as to why it's ok to DQ Jarvis when the leaders took a wrong turn/short cut early on in the race and didn't get a time penalty or DQ'd for leaving the course? It clearly isn't his mechanic working on the bike either. none of it makes sense. That overnight change to the course at motorex highway was BS too, i mean its meant to be hard, i get it but not impossible!

[@totiwars8333]

What the hell are they doing ?! This is a simple 2 Stroke Jarvis should be able to change a spark plug himself it is not hard and it is very common that they break on 2 strokes. If this would have happened to me i would have changed the spark plug first before i am trying anything else, because that is the only thing i would be able to repair there. If the fuelpump breaks its already game over, but a spark plug ? I have allways one in my backpag.

[@enduro-parts-aus]

Think the dq was abit of a crok!

[@joshuaman1126]

Sometimes the officials are just so ignorant. You watch the guys during the race getting helped up some of these obstacles and that to me should be a DQ versus this guy giving him a hand?? Whatever

[@heavysnow-ee4gg]

Let's ruin enduro and make it like 21/22 formula one. Race directors just doing wtf they want

[@robsonenduro3316]

that sucks, why they could not switch bikes...and BTW why they didn't have spark plug proper wrench.

[@markward6076]

If they disqualified me I wouldn't waste my energy on something I couldn't gain anything from, although it probably cost him money to enter the race. He's losing all the way around.

[@d_ruggs]

him getting DQed just makes the organizers look terrible. obviously he wasn't cheating and it was just riders working on the bike. if that's against the rules than maybe it should be IN the rules.

[@safarikepo2113]

Semangat terus maju jervis ...very cool nice vidio...from indonesia

[@littlesilver2205]

What if he would of gotten the bike started and actually come back and finished and placed in the top 3 and they come up and say your disqualified, I would definitely be looking for the guy that said i was disqualified .It was not his mechanic it was another racer who gave up his race to help him, i dont know what the rules say specifically, are you the only one who can work on the bike , or does any outside help automatically disqualify you.

[@jamespolucha6911]

Why is he a privateer now ? Did husky drop him ? He is the best that will ever be

[@TrailBoundco]

he started his own team! husky backed just not 'factory' sot hey get free bikes essentially

[@jamespolucha6911]

Well I guess that’s a good thing

[@jamespolucha8790]

I would have done the same thing nice to have a running bike the same as yours, just start swapping parts, but wouldn’t have this problem with a carburetor bike

[@pwnnr13]

Any local(s) riders fighting for win or? Seen many comments about the officials being scums~. Seems pretty bs.

[@patrickbrogan3323]

why couldnt the guy just give him his bike trading plugs and batteries just trade bikes if that's what your going to do, there must be a rule against getting mechanical help and if so why did jarvis let him and why did he offer?
