The F5 Bivouac (rallye raid news) and W2RC - World cross country rally championship

Nothing to see in there.....


Gotta say they haven't pulled off the clear fairing look as well as Honda.

What's the purpose of the two vent lines coming out of the RHS fuel cap?

Hi michael

Did you send them any of your drawings?

The top plate looks different... May be it is the enhanced photo?
The front looks like BajaDad's berg (I mean the way the light protrudes).... boy they are onto ADV

One is the normal line and the other one is connected to a high pressure pump which pumps air inside the tanks to pressurize the gas so that the normal injection pumps do not take 100% of the load. One way valves make sure that the pressure stays withing the tank. Riders can disconnect the system at any time or they can increase the pressure to make a boost like system. All in all it is controlled by electronics, accelerometers and thermal sensors. It is also used to cool the petrol in case the temperature increases above a certain point.



Was I convincing or what?

No... it is clearly obvious where the KTM design brief came from... how transparent of them?

You mean like this?

If you had of stopped at the second sentence, you'd have got 90% of the readers... and it would have become (web) fact...

No... that's what HRC refer to as; "electrical probrem".


a.k.a: "Helder have to give give honorable protype a brow job"

Damn ! I almost had it
Truth to be told, Last year we were able to see the fuel pumps and see the problem before it arose. This time I cant seem able to find anything around the photos... Regarding the two breathers, the rear tank seems that it does not have a breather.

It also looks like the HRC bike does not have a pro-link suspension no ?

And KTM would have copied and put it on next years 450 rally...

Boy, that is a good day at work

whats the cable for on the right hand side near the throttle?under the ICO controls

Decompressor?

Since the backup ICO is there...maybe a backup trigger for the roadbook? Just a guess...could be a turbo or a remote control for the dampner for all I know

Helder's reserve ?

thought it might be an ejection cable for the rear tank when it catches on fire !!

That is a definite no no. They have the extra breather so that fire moves to the front of the bike and destroys the evidence


I don't think that would be the roadbook,, and since F2r has a right hand switch they could have just that...
Was there a kickstarter and I missed it? :huh

no kick starter

Then why should it have a decompressor? If it is, it could be only if you have a river fall and the engine is full of water...
Then again there are lots of buttons on the left. I am sure there should be a couple of maps for them to play...


As far as Helder is concerned, I think he will never see the end of it ...
Now I see the photo, I think too that a fuel gauge is there... :huh
