@@Lensnthrottle hello 👋 Thank you very much! Hopefully it goes well 😊 Have you seen Episode 2?

@@TyresNTorque yes saw today..very well done..👏🏼

Thank you 😊 Episode 3 will be going live next week. What do you ride?

Anytime. Thank you very much for the feedback! I’m glad it was useful 😊

No need to apologise 😊 I presume you have a Transalp? Have you upgraded your headlights?

It’s a great price of kit. Certainly a step up from a standard disc lock 🔒 What EBike did you build up? 😊

Hello MontrealRides 😊 How are you? Thank you very much for the feedback! It was actually a much more simple job than I thought it was going to be. Episode 3 is in the making 😊

Hello, Thank you very much! 😊 Maybe one to restore? Or is it in full working order and it has just been stood?

Hello, thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it 😊 Take care 🏍️

Thank you! That sounds like a good sensible idea to me, thank you 😊 I’ll get some bought. I really enjoyed this repair and it was much easier than expected. Although I replaced the clutch plates, I’m certain the issue was the springs being the wrong way around. It would be good to know how much this would have cost at a garage 🤔

@@TyresNTorqueI did a similar repair on a 1979 Honda xl 500s a few years ago, bought a whole clutch set, turns out the plates and spacers were all put in wrong. The mechanical ineptitude of others can sometimes be breathtaking, but I've made mistakes too, so live and learn!

@@TyresNTorqueps gloves/no gloves, it's all good, don't wanna sound preachy. I especially like how they keep your hands clean, but also save you from bashing your hands around in tight quarters, I bought a box of 500 pairs of vinyl nitrate gloves of eBay for only a few dollars.

Not at all 😊 A simple thing which looking back, was a silly thing to miss. Especially considering how long it took me to clean my hands 😂 Do you own a VX?

@@TyresNTorque no, my current bike is the transalp and I also have a scooter for errands

Thank you! Hopefully it is a helpful video 😊 What year of VX do you have?

There may be a factor of speed in how they work but I’m not too sure 🤔 For me they work great but there does seem to be a bit of a divide in what people think of them. I am going to have a deeper look into the settings and see if there are any other factors that can be changed in relation to the indicators. But I think there is just the option of on or off.

Hello 👋 I agree, but it would be nice to be able to save a setting with TC off instead of having to do it each time, but as you say it isn’t too difficult 😊 Wow that’s a huge change! I presume you prefer the Transalp?

Thank you very much 😊 I absolutely love it up there! Have you got any ideas on which adventure bike to go for? 🏍️ Thanks again 😊

​@TyresNTorque would love a GS 1250 Adventure, but doing up the house and land comes first.. maybe in a couple of years.

The GS is a brilliant bike! I haven’t ridden the 1250 but I have spend a lot of time on the 1200 which I loved. I’m not a huge fan on the looks of the 1300 though 🤔 However I’m sure it is a fantastic bike to ride 😊

@@terrasiho5606 hello 👋 unfortunately I don’t have a DCT so I am not sure. I didn’t know they did a DCT Transalp to be honest? What do you ride? 😊

Nothing is perfect - but this is certainly going to slow someone down 😊

Couldn’t agree more! Thank you 😊 That’s class, I guess she may of even served us? A brilliant place to stop with an amazing view! 😊🏍️ I presume that means you are local?

Hello, thank you very much! 😊 Where are you based? Do you ride in Scotland much? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hello 😊 Thank you for your comment. I do like the look of all 3 colours… but it is definitely white for me. My brother is wearing a “polite” jacket and my Dad has a Harley Davidson high vis on over his jacket. Have you ridden in Scotland?

Ah, couldn't make it out on the vid. In dutch "police" is written "politie", hence my confusion. Never been to Scotland, but it's on my bucket list. Currently riding an NX500 but test riding the Transalp next week. Pretty sure it'll be my next bike. In stylish gray 😂

I didn’t know that 🤔 thank you. It is such an amazing place to ride! I absolutely love it up there 😊 Please let me know how you get on! I’m keen to know what it is like compared to the NX - I haven’t ridden one of those before.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! 😊

Honda XL750P Transalp - Very nice ! ❤

@twintech100 Thank you, it’s a fantastic bike! What do you ride?

Hello 👋 Since making this video - Yes I have had a centre stand fitted, along with a few other optional extras. I will be making “part 2” video soon 😊 What optional extras do you have on your bike?

Hello 👋 thank you for your comment. I guess they are not for everyone, all down to personal preference I guess. Do you wear any high viz? Also what do you ride? 😊

It will go live next week 😊 I think I was very lucky to pay so little and get a complete bike which seems to be in relatively good conditions (mostly) 🙏 How far along are you with it now? All complete?

Hello 👋 He certainly looks after us 😊 it was an amazing few days with my brother and my dad 😊 Where are you based?

Hello 😊 Thank you so much for your feedback! I hope I am easy to follow and understand. Out of interest, where are you based?

That sounds great! 😊 I have heard nothing but good things about the CB500X. I did look at one before the Transalp, but the Transalp suited me a little more as it is a bigger bike. Which Royal Enfield would you go for? They do some great looking bikes. The black does look brilliant, but I do like them all. 😊

@TyresNTorque It's a 2018 cb500x but is getting hammered by the gale force winds and sea spray parked where I live. Need a completely blacked bike with zero chrome. Shotgun 650 or Scram 411 are current favourites. The guerilla looks nice, but the fuel tank is too small to be useful. I've yet to go south to do any test rides. Also need used as cheaper! Need a bike that thinks it's a land-rover

Ohh no, where are you based? I do love the look of the Scram 👌 But I do like the look of most of their bikes to be honest. I have never ridden a Royal Enfield though but I have sat on a super meteor. It was like sitting in an arm chair 👌 Very comfortable! Maybe not a bike for being next to the coast though 😞

@@TyresNTorque Shetland, always windy. Perhaps not the best place to be a biker!

Ohh wow. That’s very remote 😳 I presume it’s not a long trip round the island? Do you have any trips planned?

Thank you for this Dylan 😊 After a bit of reading there is also a push rod adjustment I believe, so I will certainly check both before pulling the clutch cover off.

Thank you for this 😊 I knew I would pronounce something wrong at some point 😂 I presume you are based in Scotland?

@@TyresNTorque a little bit north of Inverness

That’s amazing! So many nice places and roads not far from you 😊 Do you have a favourite location / road to ride?

@@TyresNTorque Never had a bike, but since retiring it's crossed my mind. Something like a Honda super cub 125 for fine days, and my level of expertise.

I haven’t ridden a super cub before, they look cool though 😊 As long as it puts a smile on your face (which I am sure it will) then that’s all that matters 😊

Best to be seen 😊 Have you ridden up in Scotland?

Thank you

Haha, hopefully they will be an easy fix. Looking forward to getting started 😊

I’m pleased with what it is like after a good clean 🧽 😊 I have found a few websites which sell everything for the VX but as you say, some bits are not cheap. I’m not sure how much I will have to rebuild / swap out yet as I’m not doing a full strip and rebuild. But most likely I will need more parts. So far I have ordered an oil filter and oil, just to get things kicked off. But I want to get the bike actually moving first 😂

A lot… 46000 😳 but from what I hear this isn’t too much for this motor? Tyres seem ok which I am a little surprised by. But if it’s a keeper I will probably change them out for new ones 😊

It'll be fun and hopefully not cost too much

Hopefully not but we will have to see. I think I will start with the clutch (if that’s the issue) to hopefully get the bike moving on its own 😂😳

@@TyresNTorque I agree that sort of problem can cost peanuts to solve, or it can be a big problem, best to find out first.

It will be the next video 😊 I hope it’s a cheap and easy fix, but I also hope it is something a little more technical which I can learn from 😊 I just hope it isn’t something I can’t fix 😂

I don’t think I will have to rebuild the engine but we will see as the project goes on 😊 What year of VX do you have? How many miles have you covered?

Hello 😊 Thank you very much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I agree, the more layers you can use the better! I haven’t used the litelok before but I have just purchased another bike so I do need another lock. I will have a look at that 😊 Sorry to hear the KTM was stolen, did you ever hear back about its location? Nice choice on the replacement! 😊

Hello 😊 It seems to be a healthy motor but I guess I will find out for sure when the clutch is sorted (if that is the issue). I presume the fork is too soft?

Hello 👋 Yes decreasing preload does make the suspension slightly softer and I will let the bike sit slightly lower, but it also makes the bike easier to bottom out. It is worth noting that making your rear suspension too soft without adjusting the fork to match, can change the fork angle and can change the bikes handling characteristics. However softer suspension makes the bike less stable and it will squat more under acceleration and lean forwards more under braking. If you are wanting to lower the bike I would start with a lower seat 😊

@@TyresNTorque thank you very much for the answer...yesterday i tried a brand new transalp..i m ridi g chopper for a couple of years..seat heights are completely different and my feet hardly touch the ground and i did nt feel safe as i do with my chopper..i thought maybe it may lower the seat height if i soften the rear suspension..yes there is an original lower seat from honda but they just make the sponge or whatsoever inside the seat a bit thinner which will in return cause a bit discomfort..

My only concern is about riding in heavy traffic ,start ,stop ones...

I’m not sure how comfortable the lower seats are in comparison to the standard ones but I too would say they are probably not as comfortable due to having less padding. It may be worth asking at Honda if there are other options to lower the bike, such as a different suspension linkage? It might also be worth booking in a test ride at Honda and asking them to reduce the preload to the minimum and you can try it out?

@@TyresNTorque unfortunately even the bikes are not easily available even if u pay the whole money,it is so hard to find a test bike...in fact i was waiting for a brand new cruiser bike from honda but i was informed that they r not planning to bring them here in turkey...i m in search for a good bike ,reliable ones so i m looking for the brand new japanese bikes..i was in between vulcan s and transalp though they belong to completely different types..but i never felt vulcan s a true cruiser...but the seat height issue about transalp makes me think a bit more...

Hello 😊 Thank you very much for your comment. I presume you ride aggressively? 2000 miles doesn’t seem like much to be half worn 🤔 I do think they are a very good set of tyres. I would have certainly had another set. However I have just fitted a set of Continental TKC70s and they are absolutely brilliant so far. I am hoping to do a review on them when I have covered a couple of thousand miles 😊 Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later 😊 Have you got any tyres in mind for when you need new ones?

@TyresNTorque I don't ride real aggressively, but I weigh about 240 pounds, so rear tires aren't my friend for longevity. That also might be why they seem to do well for me, even in looser materials in the roads. My brother complained about traction one day, and he probably only weighs about 160. I was looking at the battleax tires and some other more aggressive tires, but they're very expensive, and I know they're not going to last long. So I can't decide, really. I am considering selling the TA and maybe moving into a T7 or ATAS, so I might not even have to worry about it 😆

⁠@@Sventy11I guess that won’t help with tyre wear. Ohh no! Why are you thinking about switching? Are you wanting something more off road focused?

@TyresNTorque I didn't fit the TA well. I'm just shy of 6' tall and I got pretty cramped up on it after a while of riding. I ended up getting a base africa twin last week. Loving it so far. Honestly, it's like a more grown up version of the TA.

@@Sventy11 the AT is a fantastic bike! I just wish they didn’t have the space ship dashboard of buttons on the handle bars. If it was just the Transalp but bigger I would certainly have one. What are the bikes you are most keen on at the moment?

Wow! Have you had it from new? 😃 They are a brilliant bike!

@@TyresNTorque Yes, sure have. Only done 80,000 km on this one, but I have owned two others as well, that I would have clocked up another 100,000 km on. Now have a new 750 Transalp too. Also a great bike!

That’s amazing! They are such fantastic bikes. I love my 750, maybe the best bike I have ridden 😊 The only down side to it is because I love it so much, I won’t risk damaging it. So I don’t ride it off road even though it is more than capable 😂

Do you see many people wearing these @JockBiker?

@@TyresNTorque on occasion. Generally older riders. Many with an IAM sticker on there screen…

I don’t see many people riding with them at all. It certainly does seem to be a sensitive topic with riders. Do you wear any kind of high viz when riding?
