You recently read on Nova Moto the first lines of Maxime’s project in early 2020: the Intercontinental Rally, and the partnership born between Maxime and Nova Moto around this project.
Maxime shares here with you the assembly of the oiler on his bike, the Africa Twin meant for the rallye.
Nova Moto tries to offer you the maximum support in the fitting of accessories on your motorcycle. When an informed and well-known rider -Maxime is multi-titled in the French Road Rally Championship- shares his set-up with you, it’s even better!
Maxime Mettra’s opinion about the CLS Evo automatic lubricator :
Nothing is better than a short comment:
« No particular difficulty, it’s great!
Before adding: « In addition, I put the puncture prevention system on the Africa and on my 400XR in 4mm thick Michelin inner tubes.
I’ll let you know if I ever get a flat tire, but I don’t think so!!!! »
This is Air-Stop puncture preventative, which you put in the tires, and do their job in case of a puncture. As indicated on the Air-Stop product sheet, this product is compatible with an inner tube, which is necessarily less efficient than a tubeless tyre. I often get calls about this: the manufacturer confirms a 65% efficiency in repairs, in any case, Air-Stop will normally avoid an on/off effect of punctures specific to the inner tube, bringing in any case a bit of extra safety that is always good to take.
Installation of the CLS Evo automatic lubricator
Little advice for the route: in order to make the most of the lubricator’s advantage, and to have a nice chain, do not hesitate to completely degrease the chain, using disaromatized petrol and a small brush.
Preparation and financing of the Intercontinental Rally Adventure
Here we are! A stage of preparation to be completed between now and January 16, the date of the start of the Intercontinental Rally, which will be held in Paris as the iconic Paris-Dakar Rally.
T-Shirt 20 €
If you wish to support Maxime in his project, T-shirts and sweatshirts to finance it are available on Nova Moto Le Shop. No margin will be taken on these products which are simply there as a support. The money will be paid in full to Maxime, who will handle the shipping directly.
The appointment is taken to follow the preparation, physical and mechanical, of Maxime and his Africa Twin on Nova Moto Le Mag. The objective is to have fun and, no doubt, to reach Dakar in the best possible place for a first one!
