Me and my friend ride these bikes, me a 2017 230f and him a 2024 250f and they are very similar to each other. We are the same weight so here is the results. The 230 has a power up kit making it keep up very well with the 250, especially right off the bat because the 230 has more get up and go. The 230 would win a short race while the 250 would win a longer race having more time to catch up.

It’s been a few years since I sold mine but don’t you press down to activate the switch and then turn it all the way to the right to pull it out? My memory is a bit hazy these days so I could be wrong. I had my GTR 1400 for ten years and never had any trouble with the main key.
@jswaggart01
@jswaggart01 Месяц назад
Just had a memory reboot lol. When you have the ignition on, turn black knob to the right which switches off the ignition and you can then pull the key out. I did this every time I went to refuel.

Laughing my mutha f@ck'n ass off Kove can't outrun a WR250. I thought they were "race ready." What an f'ing clown bike. One of my bikes is an '03 DR650, no steering damper, no wobbles. Can't wait for my Kove buddies on YT make excuses. I got one, race ready bikes aren't drag race bikes! Neither is a WR250. I will give you Kove coolaid drinkers one thing, the guy riding it, suuuuuuuccckkkks! But, it still should have flown past the 250 once going.

how do you think this would handle mountain trails with the occasional packing out some wild game in a pack at a slower speed.
@SWTrailsAndWheels
@SWTrailsAndWheels 6 месяцев назад
The stock suspension is quite soft and comfortable on mountain trails and jetting may need to be tweaked for high elevations. If loading with extra weight, some suspension upgrades would be recommended...which reminds me, I have to put my upgraded Racing Bros rear shock up for sale now that I don't own this bike :) This shock and on the front upgrading to an XR250 fork transformed the bike.
@BraapTales
@BraapTales 6 месяцев назад
960 miles on my Kove and not a single fuel problem, so far. Only thing I have done is cut quarter-sized holes in the fuel cap gaskets front and rear. The suspension on the Kove is excellent. Even small changes can really give you better performance and I believe it can be adjusted to fit almost any kind of rider. Balancing the wheels is also really important. If Beau or anyone wants to know more about pros/cons of running the flywheel timing advance key, check my Kove 450 mods video where we compared my bike without the key and Dirt Byk's bike with the key.

I Really agree with you about the Xr650 Comments too. The Wr250r, drz400, dr650, xr650,crf450l once fitted with a huge 20L safari tank feel way heavier then the kove. The magic is the mass centralization and the low slung rally fuel tanks.
@SWTrailsAndWheels
@SWTrailsAndWheels 8 месяцев назад
Yup, those fundamental design elements are difficult to duplicate in the aftermarket.
@AceCarleton

@jonwoodworker
@jonwoodworker 8 месяцев назад
A full fairing desert bike that is as slow as a DRZ but weights as much as a DR650, is no Unicorn. Woods and trail riding requires low end power, making peak power a 9000rpms is nightmare on tight trails. Not to mention your Unicorn is made with Communist slave labor from a country that wants to destroy yours. Dakar hasn't been kind to the Kove this year either.
@Matthew-zw9su
@Matthew-zw9su 8 месяцев назад
It would smoke a dr650 and the drz in the desert. The suspension, chassis, ground clearance, fuel capacity, and intended terrain and off road speed are on a different level from those bikes.
@jonwoodworker
@jonwoodworker 8 месяцев назад
@@Matthew-zw9su In stock form I might agree, until the Kove breaks or bucks the rider...then the antique Suzuki's will just cruise past you. I have a DR650 all moded with Cogent suspension and only have $6k in it. I can do 100mph on flat desert for hrs. with 6.6 gallons. You can even buy rally towers for it to look like you "cool" people. DR'S and DRZ's have been globetrotting for decades with legendary reliability. BTW, how many of the Kove finished Dakar this yr? Looked to me like a clown show. Maybe they should spend their time and money on research and development instead of paying RU-vidrs to push their bikes.

And the new unicorn starts to show its warts. The Chinese are sooooo close but just can't seem to get there. The skid plate is just a cheap peace of plastic that won't protect anything. All the Rallys imported to date can't be plated for the street in most states because they are imported as "closed course competition bikes" as stated on Kove's US website. So that means they are not EPA certified and can never be legaly ridden in California on public lands. No way to ever get it plated in Indiana where I live. This is a dirt bike and that's how it's imported.

I own a Kove Rally. The canister delete did fix the wonky fuel readings. It also seemed to help lower the engine temps some too. The Kove already has the lithium battery, so you'll have to get a lithium battery charger as a normal one is said to be dangerous? to use on it.
