    Great video! Just one comment about the rounded Allen keys - most of the Allen screws on the bike have shallower heads so the rounded ends don't engage as deeply. Ok if it's a screw that isn't too tight, but for the larger ones, you could have problems.

  • @preston2adelaide

    The “problem” I see with the screen interacting with the water, is whether it will do this whilst riding in rain? Could be annoying if you are lost and navigating to a location and the screen start flickering to music?

    • @HardPackedADV
      @HardPackedADV หลายเดือนก่อน

      From my experience, this is normal behavior. The flickering and changes occur because the screen is touch-sensitive to heat. Touchscreens work by detecting concentrated warmth at a specific point, like the tip of a glove. Many glove manufacturers embed metal fibers in the fingertips to enhance their sensitivity to temperature changes compared to the rest of the glove. You can try it with your touch-sensitive phone; the effect is similar. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!

    Hi from Germany and like. I have a question. I also drive a Transalp 750 and have the same navigation mount as you. Does the navigation system (Carpuride W702) wobble on your mount while driving or not?

    • @HardPackedADV
      @HardPackedADV หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is a slight wobble, but this is more due to the low quality of the Aliexpress mount bar that I have usd. If the cross bar was designed to be stiffer then there would not be any wobble from the unit, you would only see the ups and down which are relevant to the bike's suspension/travel on the road, ie same movement as the main display. The actual mount on the unit is quite secure and stable.

    Nice video. I have a 2024 and find the front suspension to be too bouncy as it bob's up / down when I come to a stop in town at a stop light or stop sign or over irregularities on the road. I am considering the Motoz Tractionator GPS or Adventure tires once I get rid of the Metzeler Karoo Street original tires here in N. America that are rate 70% street 30% off-road but they are not good off-road. From my research you, we could get up to +20,000 kms out of the GPS tires. Motoz tires have stiff sidewalls and are stiff overall which really helps avoid punctures which I like.

    Good to hear you are still enjoying your Transalp, and nice to recognise some familiar local roads (Longwood Rd). Still enjoying mine, now just over 18,000 kms, and have just gone to Pirelli Scorpion Rallys (third front and fourth rear). I would have run another set of STRs but they didn't have the fronts, but will probably go back to the STRs next time as they were better on the bitumen. Rallys are better on the dirt, naturally, but a heavier and stiffer carcass, and need lower pressures. I am not so phased by the tubed tyres, having not had a puncture on it yet (and never had one on my old Elefant 750 in over 50k kms). I seem to mainly get flats on my tubeless road bike. I have been getting about 6,500 kms from STR rears(2), and got over 11k from the STR front. I guess a cruise control would be useful police-wise, but I don't miss it, having not had one on a bike yet, although I use it a lot in the car! The suspension? Yes, it could use an upgrade, and my take on that is the low price ($15,740 on road in SA) leaves some $$ for that. I got the air deflectors thrown in with mine (first buyer at Moto Adelaide) and they do help a little with the wind, but they are dear if you have to buy them! The bear grip footrests better than the stockers, slightly lower and more comfortable, and much better for standing. I too have the B&B bashplate. But I really enjoy my Transalp. It has a subtle quality of an ease of riding, which seems to promote a sort of peace of mind which I am enjoying, and as you say - it allows us to head down any road that piques our curiosity. After 62 years of motorcycling this model is a great choice, and is capable of some reasonably rough terrain, as well as being great on the bitumen. Your actual 'all rounder'. Stops me going too fast on the Ducati... 😊

    Nay for me. Reasons #1 Garbage suspension, #2 Low ground clearance, #3 High rev character, #4 Poor electronic interface, #5 Filter under the tank.

      @RoryOConnor-t1b Wow is right, you're an 1d1ot. I waited 2 yrs to buy the Talp and put my deposit on one, test road one, and was mortified. Luckily, my dealer sells multiple brands, and I was able to transfer my deposit. Tested the T7 (good but not for me), AT (awesome but top heavy), Toureg (the best but don't trust it), finally discovered how good the 800DE was and went home with it. Got another chance to ride the Talp for a few hours on a group ride....couldn't wait to get off of it, and the Talp owner didn't want to get off my 800DE. I have three Hondas in my garage and love them. But they should be ashamed of themselves for the garbage of an adventure bike the Talp is. And I've said this many times, Honda already has better street and commuter bikes.
