==Fuel Filter==

The OEM fuel filter is expensive and will probably be out of stock at a dealer. Alternatives are:
* Purolator F44661
* AC/Delco GF708
* Fram G6495
According to Bob Taylor, any fuel filter that fits a Mitsubishi Starion (87-89) (Australian) should work.

Honda Transalp XL600V

2008-05-24T00:28:41Z

Admin: /* NGK */

This page applies most directly to the 1989-1990 US-spec Honda Transalp. See http://www.ta-deti.de/ta/ for thorough technical information on all Transalp models.

=Consumables=

==Spark Plugs==

===NGK===

These part numbers come from the [http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/apps/motorcycles/make3.asp NGK parts finder] for the 1989-1990 XL600V:

=Modifications=

==Africa Twin Parts==
Many parts from the XRV750 (RD04) and XRV650 (RD03) Africa Twins are interchangeable with the Transalp. [http://www.bbb-bike.com/history/honda/africatwin/ This page] (Japanese) has a full history of the Africa Twin.

===Fuel Tank===
RD03 and RD04 fuel tanks (identical other than color scheme) fit the Transalp frame. According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=136 this page], "the left AT petcock is the same as the petcock for a 1990 NT650 Honda Hawk" ([http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/honda-motorcycle-nt650-hawk-gt-1990/o/m2452 $55 at BikeBandit.com]).

====Interference====
The RD03/RD04 tank's petcocks may interfere with the Transalp engine.

[http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5853492&postcount=3016 Blackbert says] that the right-hand petcock hits the clutch cable mount, and the left-hand petcock hits the coolant line. The right petcock is larger due to a drain plug, so swapping it fixes the clearance problem on the right-hand side, but leaves the left side unfixed.

[http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5854010&postcount=3018 Ladder106 replies] that the Africa Twin tank requires a support, which is shown [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/241880/RD04060.jpg here].

====Fuel Pump====
The Africa Twin tank needs a fuel pump in order to pump the last few gallons.

=====Stock Africa Twin=====
The Africa Twin's OEM fuel pump is electric, and it's prone to failure due to internal electrical contacts which arc and destroy themselves. The pump itself can be hardwired and controlled by an external relay, which prevents the arcing problem.

=====Substitute Pumps=====
Many people run vacuum-operated fuel pumps.

Another alternative is an electric fuel pump from Spruce Aircraft and Supply.

===Swingarm===
The Africa Twin has an aluminum swingarm which is is longer than the steel Transalp swingarm. It can be fitting with relatively few problems. Notably, the drum brake stopper has to be ground to fit the Africa Twin swingarm (assuming an Africa Twin disc rear wheel hasn't been used as well), and a 124 link chain is needed.

*[http://google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.transalp.de%2Ftechnik%2Fpd-technik%2Fumbauten%2Fat-schwinge.php&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8 Translated "Transalp with Africa Twin swingarm"] (from transalp.de).

====Interchangeability====
These parts diagrams indicate the compatibility of certain parts between the Transalp and the RD04 Africa Twin. Green indicates that the part numbers are the same, while red indicates that the parts differ. Yellow indicates that the part numbers are different, but the parts may be compatible nonetheless.

===GSXR-1000===
According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=195 this thread] (advrider.com), 2001 - 2004 GSXR1000 mufflers are a relatively easy add-on.
<blockquote>Not quite a direct bolt-on but close. I got two 15° bend stainless steel tubes from Burns Stainless and rotated them until I got the right angle. Then I made the flange to bolt on the muffler. I attached the muffler and then tacked the flange and the two sections in place. I'm not a welder so you won't see a close-up shot. I originally had a GSXR1000 muffler on because it was titanium. But when I put the bags and mounts on, the muffler was too big and in the way. So I swapped it out for a 750 or 600 unit, shorter but not titanium. Fortunately, it weighs the same due to the shorter length.</blockquote>

===NT650===
The [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=184 same thread] indicates that the sealed battery specified for a Hawk NT650V can be used on the Transalp, but it requires a 1/8" shim underneath and possible cutting of the battery sleeve.

===Petcock Diaphragm===
The petcock diaphragm develops a leak and cuts off fuel to the engine. This is a common problem. K&L sells a diaphragm repair kit. It's available [http://www.amotostuff.com/thestore/prods/18-2701.html here] and other places as well (presumably the K&L part number is 18-2701).

Also note that the vacuum line running from the cylinder head to the petcock diaphragm (vacuum side) can develop a leak, leading to backfiring.

==Fuel Filter==

The OEM fuel filter is expensive and will probably be out of stock at a dealer. Alternatives are:
* Purolator F44661
* AC/Delco GF708
* Fram G6495
According to Bob Taylor, any fuel filter that fits a Mitsubishi Starion (87-89) (Australian) should work.

===Feeler Gauges===

The Genesis 20-valve head requires feeler gauges which are narrower than most. Some people cut down standard gauges, but there is concern that this will leave burrs.

==Front Suspension Lubrication==

The dreaded front-end squeak. If you hear the squeak, the bearings in the front swingarm should be disassembled and lubed as soon as possible. If this isn't done in a timely manner, the bearings will eat themselves and are quite costly to replace.
