Yeah, exactly like on the Ktm 450 Rally bike. Kove are learning from the top teams.. Sendt fra min Armor_6 med Tapatalk
i wonder if you could put a windshield washer pump and a longer line and use the rear tank as a 3 gallon camelbak with a pushbutton.
If you are drinking three gallons from non-EPA plastics through a windshield washer pump, you will also need good diapers.
A friend made a misting system for his Honda monkey with a small pump a push button and standard misting nozzles. Actually worked pretty well in the hot eastern oregon sun. the mister nozzles are mounted to the top of the double take mirrors. (we called him Farkle Pony)

Yes the Rally 450 has a pill cooler and 1.8 liters of oil capacity which definitely help extent service intervals, one of the fine details that make this bike so special.
Here are the Final Classifications for the Dakar 2023 'Rally 2' Class (The class Kove was entered in) as well as Overall. They were 27th (Sunier), 44th (Liansong) and 54th (Mingji).
Not to be that guy but going to be that guy: I am absolutely stoked on this bike… but does the frame look a tad spindly?
Not at all. It looks like an appropriately sized steel frame. If it were aluminum, then yes it would look spindly, because aluminum must be dimensionally larger to achieve similar stiffness and strength, without getting into the weeds. Soapbox warning: fat frame tubes suck for maintenance; they get in the way. That’s one of the reasons I think steel is a better motorcycle frame material.
