It is so cool to see the OEM procedures does in a squeaky clean Honda Service facility. Beautiful! I should be getting my Transalp later this year, and i am planning on doing all of the exact same upgrades. Great channel, great videos!
Thanks for the detailed coverage of these accessories. My Transalp doesn’t have heated grips (yet) but it’s beautifully functional. Happy riding! Geoff in Tasmania
Yes, need to make a video about it. They were absolutely perfect on the street, on the rain and on the light gravel (as little as I could riden them off-road). I sold them at 5800 Km with plenty of rubber left. Very good tyres as standard on a new bike
Nice upgrades!!You will love the heated grips when riding with low temperatures. As for the handguards,barkbusters have the lever at the middle. Waiting to hear your experience riding on the road with those tires...Offroad I know they will rock for sure!!
Thanks for the comment, I will share all my experience starting from next week, every week until they are gone. Every detail will be shared for sure! Greetings !
I'll have to second the opinion expressed below regarding the heavier tyres and tubes you fitted. Yes, this inevitably increases unsprung weight, and will expect more of the suspension, which as we know (I am at 13,200 kms on my Transalp) is not very high quality. You don't comment on the heavier wheel feeling, but I expect it will be noticeable at times - a sense of extra mass banging up and down against the suspension. One of the first modifications I do to my bikes is to reduce the unsprung weight (wheels and lower suspension) with lightweight fasteners, aluminium spacers/sprocket etc. There is also a heavy steel plate mounting each of the front calipers on the Transalp, and I intend remaking these in high-grade aluminium, before I start work on the suspension itself. The point I am making is that you have compromised the feel of the bike by fitting heavier tyres and tubes, to offset the risk of getting a puncture. Yes, getting a puncture is a PITA with tubed tyres, but usually happens only rarely, such that the suspension etc. 'feel' of your Transalp is compromised all the time, for something that happens rarely, or maybe never. I fitted STR Pirellis to mine as a compromise between road and dirt, which also added slightly to the unsprung weight, but the extra weight of the Mitas tyres and heavy tubes is, to me, too much of a compromise. Much of the pleasant handling of the Transalp is due to its minimal weight, both sprung and unsprung. But thanks for your tests; they are easy to listen to, and give a different perspective, being from eastern Europe. I enjoy your natural and honest presentation manner, and your high standard of English language. But the dumped rubbish problem in your country looks pretty bad through Australian eyes, seen in several videos (of yours and other's) from your country. We find the odd dump like that here, but not as bad as it appears in Rumania. A shame in such a beautiful setting.
Thanks for the comment, highly appreciated your honesty. Since this race I've been doing more and more trainings and I was able to feel better the bike in even more stressful environments and I can say that off-road I don't feel the tyres so heavy and I can maneuver the bike at very low speeds (2 or 3 Km/h) with ease. I usually use few litres of petrol each time I ride off-road for better weight control (with 5 litres for example the bike goes back to it's initial weight before the accessories mount). On the street I feel the weight of the tyres especially in the corners due to the front profile that amplifies the strange feeling of turning with a 80/20 tyre. The fuel consumption hasn't increased and I am able to reach 3,8% or 3,9% even with this aggressive tyres. I look forward to share very soon my future off-road experience and the skill progress. The issues with the garbage it's especially present 50 Km around the big cities, usually a big city generates an enormously amount of waste, managing the waste it's not as good as in the western countries ; to this issues adds also the education of the population that throws away the plastics in the beautiful environment. Greetings 😉
Looks great, I have the exact same bike, same crash bars and bought same tires (not the dakkar version). Looking forward to your verdict on the tires and your off-road adventures. I plan to fit the tires myself with tire irons.. so that should be fun! 🙈🤣 Question about the side panels: Is it not possible to remove side panels with the crashbars on?? It looks like there would be space? (Not tried it yet, weather is terrible, can't get bike out garage)
sorry to revive an old post. excellent description by the way. I am waiting for my heated grips to arrive, and the cheap copy of the SCS plug. Could i just ask though, was it grease that you used to install the right hand side heated grip?
Ultra HD tubes will affect the acceleration and braking on the paved roads and will run much hotter thus reducing the tire life. Use lots of baby powder!
THose tires and the tubes will add a lot of unsprung weight to your wheels... Also remember that the extra tire weight will make more heat in higher speeds...
These tyres will be used off-road, hopefully on mountain roads. They are very stable on asphalt but only when riding straight, no wobbling on the front whatsoever at over 100 Km/h. Just made only 150 Km, need to finish them and come back to you with a proper feedback
@@IdealBike - The high weight will generate more friction and by that more heat at speed, so be carefull on asfalt when the temperature raise... all I say... most likely everything will be just fine... I was thinking about the same tubes myself until I learned about the extra heat because of the weight, and I ride a bike that is a lot lighter and can't go as fast as your great TA.
@StoltHD Thanks a lot for your inputs, for sure I'll consider them during summer. We have 40C at least on the hot days, need to ride it on top of the mountain then 😁. It's a test, let's see after thousands of Km how lucky I am or not.. Greetings 👌
If we have 1000 likes to this video I will do it! Coming back to the no puncture, I'm pretty sure that in normal off-road conditions there are very very few chances for a flat 😊
Poti sa imi spui te rog exact ce modele si marimi de cauciucuri ai ales pentru ea ? Inteleg ca sunt mitas amandoua, de 18 si de 21 inch, dar ce specificatii au si ce model exact ai ales pt fata si spate ? Multumesc frumos.
That’s what a center stand is for. After 55 years riding bikes with tubes I can say that tubes have never been a problem for me. I have only had a couple flats. People need to stop airing down so far as to get pinch flats. Just ride the bike and stop worrying.
This is a brilliant bike,but to become equivalent to KTM790 it needs 3000-4000euros investing in accessiories and it is still stuck with low quality front brakes and rubber brake hoses

Managed to fit my heated grips myself with the help of your video. Thanks very much.
Glad to hear that !
Thanks for the heated grip instructions. They’re a big help!
You are wellcome, glad it was usefull !
Delightful in the way you always describe things in your own unique way!
Wish you much fun with the new Upgrade! ✌🏼
Thank you Thomas :))) Greetings and looking forwards to share what's next
The technician is very cautious of what he does. He cares for the people. Great job!
He really is 😊 Thanks for the comment
That will never happen here unfortunatly.
You are lucky.
The Power Of Dreams ❤

Hi! Did they use glue for the left grip? I dont have glue with OEM set.
did u like the metzler karroo street ?
mine were really bad in the wet almost came off my biike
Yes, need to make a video about it. They were absolutely perfect on the street, on the rain and on the light gravel (as little as I could riden them off-road). I sold them at 5800 Km with plenty of rubber left. Very good tyres as standard on a new bike
How come? Perhaps they were not mounted properly
@@IdealBike not sure maybe a greasy road but im going to put tourance next 2 on this time :)

Hello thanks for the comment. We've already tried to remove the side front fenders without taking out the upper crash bars, no chance unfortunately
sorry to revive an old post. excellent description by the way. I am waiting for my heated grips to arrive, and the cheap copy of the SCS plug. Could i just ask though, was it grease that you used to install the right hand side heated grip?
Thanks for the comment, it's from the service I don't know exactly...
Great video... Awesome workers 👍👍👍
Yes, they are professionals and they also work with passion
Nice video, very helpful

Yes exactly

what did u do about off road foot pegs?>
I have the ones from the OEM Rally Pack
Waiting for the no-puncture trick !!!!!
If we have 1000 likes to this video I will do it! Coming back to the no puncture, I'm pretty sure that in normal off-road conditions there are very very few chances for a flat 😊
Mousse tyres, not street legal and not working on streets
@@IdealBike 😅 , i bought it for touring and here roads are like in a semi off road condition. So chances for flat is more!!
@Rainer.M67 You forgot that they are pretty expensive
Poti sa imi spui te rog exact ce modele si marimi de cauciucuri ai ales pentru ea ? Inteleg ca sunt mitas amandoua, de 18 si de 21 inch, dar ce specificatii au si ce model exact ai ales pt fata si spate ? Multumesc frumos.
90/90-21 și 150/70-18
So, this is this magical trick you promised to 'never get flat'? 🙂
So far NOTHING at 4000 Km. Let's see until the end.
Good luck fixing punctures on those tires with tubes in middle of trail....
That’s what a center stand is for. After 55 years riding bikes with tubes I can say that tubes have never been a problem for me. I have only had a couple flats. People need to stop airing down so far as to get pinch flats. Just ride the bike and stop worrying.
There are very few chances for that. If so, there's always a solution
Install Heideanu K60. , Mitas E07 or Motoz gps and try to take them off rims to repai/replace inner tubes… Please let me know how that goes
@alexstan5358 Considering the level of puncture protection, there are disadvantages on taking them out. Hopefully it will not be the case
This is a brilliant bike,but to become equivalent to KTM790 it needs 3000-4000euros investing in accessiories and it is still stuck with low quality front brakes and rubber brake hoses
The brakes are more than decent, tested on multiple surfaces. Ok, if you are a professional rider than you may wanna want more performance.
