Best Cheap Adjustable Levers (MT07) (2024)
Would you recommend the hyperpro streetbox? I'm at that point with my XSR 700 where I want to improve the suspension because it just feels dubious on bumpy roads, and my forks seem like they need improvement the most so I want to start there. I know you sold your MT-07 but I'm not old enough for an adventure bike yet!
Hahaha, I'm not that old😅 Honestly the hyper pro was an improvement, but not much. Id get a proper kit or just a different bike. After you do suspension front and rear you might have been better trading in for a cb650r or a gsx-8s
@@KairyuRider Trading in my bike for one of those would cost more than upgrading the suspension, but thanks!
@jaide1312 depending what you go for. I don't know the cost of fronts. But the kyb rear was good. And I'm sure you kyb find used at a good price. I know in japan they pop up used for a good deal every now and then
No, I love my bike, except for the part where the engine spits the con rod bearings into the oil filter, or the piston rings wear out before 30k miles. If my bike would keep going, I'd ride it forever, but it won't keep going, and I hate that about it.
"Before the first service bikes just burn up coolant" is such a stupid lie that for that alone no one should touch a Triumph. How the F does coolant "burn up?" It's supposed to be a closed loop. I have never lost coolant in any vehicle I have ever owned in over 20 years. Old cars, old bikes, new cars and bikes, coolant doesn't "burn up."
I had a 2011 Triumph Street Triple R for a couple of months. It would never charge the battery, oil started leaking out of the engine block after 2k miles, and I am convinced that the suspension must have been assembled wrong because it was by far the worst suspension I ever rode, despite it being amazing according to every journalist. You could set it to rock hard or pogo stick, there was nothing in the middle. I took it to Dave Moss and he just set it to rock hard. It was PAINFUL to ride on the highway. That bike was a piece of shit and I wouldn't touch a Triumph ever again.
Riding my Multistrada 1200 at its limit is something I can only do for about 5 seconds at a time. It's a craaazy 5 seconds but still, I just have to back it off all the time.
Jammer dat het geen tubless heeft
I ride a SV1000. IMO, I think the SV1000 is the ultimate expression of the SV line. Especially once you dial in the low RPM throttle timing. I do love the SV650. I had a ‘99 model. It was great. I just think the torque of the 1000 is awesome to have. It’s the lower RPMs, not the higher although that amazing too.
@TheSteveSteele absolutely. If suzuki could bring that, or if honda could make a naked version of their 1100 twin
love your take on this. Keep going man! You’re too talented to not succeed
@@andysturrr thank you. It really does mean a lot to get positive feedback like this
No cruise control is a slap to the face
@burgundypoint only ktm790 and Aprilia 660 have cruise. But i agree, it wasn't expensive or hard to put veridian cruise on last week.
5:55 I very much disagree. I think bar end mirrors in the down position look horrible. It looks like your handlebar has earrings 😂Even stock looks better than down.
@@Dr.BenjiBuddy hahaha, never thought of it that way😅
I'm like you, I must have tubeless wheels. I was going to get the Transalp except 1) no cruise control. I gotta have that for living in Los Angeles and the amount of freeway driving I do to get away to the mountains. I'm instead getting the Noren 901. Fully loaded, has everything. I love it!
@mrbjay5443 tubeless and veridiancruise were both cheap. I was looking at the nordan too. But the reliability issues. On a cooler day the left side was pumper heat onto my leg and I know the catalytic is known for melting the rear shock. Ktm and Aprilia make better bikes, but the reliability trouble people are having are barely acceptable for a heavily used bike, let alone a new one that costs more than the competition.

@damacknificent151 yes, but in Cali it's any speed ans a bit insane. But better than none at all😅
Hi from Greece,i m planning to buy the transalp after summer.Is it true that the engine is Nikasil?Also on a workshop manual i download says the front wheel suspension travel is 178 mm.I m planning a suspension upgrades definitely,and i would like your opinion .Thanks great videos!!!
I wouldn't know about the engine. I have lots of videos on the hike you can check out. For specs. The manual would be your best bet
Excellent
I think I know what the new camera would be ;)
Won't the cable increase water ingress under the seat by it flowing along the cable?
@hctibeltil the water would have to flow up words. It's possible, but only a very small amount of water. but there are lots of spaces for the water to run down the inside away from the electronics. I'm not worried. But if something doesn't go wrong, I'll pin a comment about it

Why did Honda choose tubes for transalp? Ps I vote Nitron
@@MattieXMoto save money and trick people into buying the africatwin
Thank you for your time and your sincerity.
I think it must be the way it always goes. My first off-road was on the TA, lost (more lost than intended) in Indiana. The tiny farm road I was on suddenly turned into a mix of deep, fresh gravel and rocky dirt. Enormous pucker factor, but made it just fine. I hadn't even changed the break-in oil yet. The same YT folks you mentioned, their advice made the difference for me too. ...stay loose on the bars...stay loose on the bars!
good luck m8, and lads dont forget to put the bell button up for more
Also a Transalp owner and love seeing your roads in Japan. Looking forward to your future content. Have you seen the vmx tubeless wheels on kkeracing that they’re selling for the Transalp?
@@dustintu5827 yes, I've talked to them. They are the africa twin wheels that seem to fit the transalp. Bit out of my price right now
What ever it takes.
What a coincidence! Last week I also went on my first offroad ride on my new bike and it also got wet in the middle of it. Also went through a small section of deep sand that was not expected. I also use my Shoei RF1400 (Z8 in Japan) road helmet for adv purposes since I ride mostly on paved surfaces. Good luck on your future plans for the channel!

Excellent video and good chill info :). Thank you!
lol good thing I didn’t buy a street triple I really wanted to but I knew that cam chain would drive me crazy lol
I chose the 2024 Transalp because I trust Honda engines (I still have the generator my dad bought in 1996) and I wanted a mid-sized adventure tourer that leaned slightly more to a road-touring bias that I didn't want to outgrow. It's a stellar commuter and all-arounder that I don't need to be a Goldwing or Africa Twin or CBR or CRF because each of those has concessions in order to be great performers in their specialization, and the CB and SLC models didn't seem like they were going to get me the cargo carrier capacity and light off-roading capability I wanted. It's the baby bear porridge for normal me, which probably isn't sexy but I think a lot of people find appealing when they're honest with themselves. The airbox is a little bit of a pain, though I don't live in an especially dusty area, and I wish they had spec'd it with cruise control in the US, but I can live with the airbox, especially if I do a little modification on the panels to make them simpler and easier to get on and off (seriously, Honda, why so many different fasteners?), and I have a good throttle lock with plans to invest in an aftermarket cruise control when my warranty has expired. It's just a great fit.
Do you think if you used one of the 'inline' clamps for the handguard that you would not of had to modify it to mount it? After seeing your video, i really like the zeta look and have been thinking about getting a set. Thanks from the U.S.
@mpb790 not sure what "inline" clamps are
Marketing works very well! Great video. USA is drowning in consumerism.
Wait what? Japan has brake zones painted red on the pavement!!!❤
Be careful with DNA filter or k&N or Sprint etc. It has been know they all allow too much debris into the airbox and thus into the engine.

Suzuki 800de. It's a better bike. But i like the factory Transalp sound more.
@@Nulrom it's a heavier bike. But not sure about better
@@KairyuRider when you put everything the Suzuki has on a transalp (not including the bigger tank), they weight the same. It's undeniably a better bike, with a better engine, cheaper, with no flaws like ktms. Also, they scaled the honda and they cheated in her weight. Check it.
I've put "everything" on my transalp. It only added 6.5kg. The vestron without extras like crash protection is still more than 15kg heavy with a top heavy big tank. If you got the vstrom, I'm sure it's a good bike. But it and loses the weight game to the africa twin. And there is no relm where it's competitive with the 7-800cc adv bike sin weight.
@@KairyuRider actually no, the Suzuki has a wet weight of 230kg. The honda a 214 dry weight. Also the honda lied, is a little bit more. Add the fuel, add all features that come standard with the 800 (like, for example, the quick shifter that weights 0.4kg). Add the fact some components from the Suzuki are a little bit more heavy or premium (front suspension and back adjustable suspension), you arrive at the same weight.
@@KairyuRider I can agree she's heavy and I know a lot of middleweight are lighter but the Transalp is not one of them. In fact, you can transform the Suzuki into a rally bike, putting her on a diet. I still didn't saw a video of someone doing that to the Transalp.
I subbed so you can get them sponsors. <3 haha
any issues with the fueling?this motor runs smooth?the transmition is ok?isnt it a little clunky?
No issues. It's a twin so there is some feelings of an engine. It's the smoothest twin I've ever had after my vstrom 650 twin. But they are close and I still haven't done the first service where as that vstrom had 60,000km. Low speed city traffic can be snatchy but switch to rain or gravel and it's fin. Over 10 or 15kmh no fueling issues. Transmission is perfect
