Hello, Honda transalp 600v 1997 is a two cylinder bike so it has only 2 spark plugs

@@handymandiy3368 interesting, I think we have the same bike and I'm about to swap mine and keep reading there are four.

I have checked the manual and you are right, I was mostly working on xl600 rm and those have only 1 plug. As you mentioned this bike has 2 plugs per cylinder and I did not see the ones that are difficult to reach. I will have to switch out the other two as well. Thank you very much for pointing out my mistake.

Hello, unfortunately I do not know where the bike was originally from, the previous owner did not five me any information. Thanks for the dealer name though, it might come in handy.

@@handymandiy3368 btw i have the same bike, black color red seat year 86, nice little bike I’ve had a lot of travels and adventures with her

Hello, thank you for your comment. There are two ways how we can change the oil, we can use the dip stick or we can use the specified amount of oil that is stated in the manual. The second option is however not precise as we do not know how much oil got out. The manual that I had did not state if the dip stick should be screwed in or not, it just wrote to check that the oil is in the range. I tried to check also the amount, that was why I was looking at the second bottle all the time. If I would fill in the oil to max with the screwed on dip stick according to your manual it should end up somewhere in between the min and max level so that should be fine. I will double check it and add a bit more oil. Thank you for the information. Seems that I have to look for a better manual :)

Hello, if the black color does come out but is not clear, you will have to run deep cleaning cycles multiple times until it gets unstuck. But do not do many cycles at once, let it rest between cleaning cyclea

Glad it helped!

Hello, happy to hear that the videos are helpful. I love these bikes and like to restore them. The current one is in very bad condition so everything takes longer than expected but I am looking forward to finishing the bike. Good luck with your rebuild

Hello, does it say that the cartridge is not genuine or it does not see it at all? If it does not see it at all, I would check the sensor/switch that indicates that it was pushed in, maybe it is broken

Hello, I bought it on ebay. But I did not use the parts from it, only few of them as necessary because some of the parts are not the same. Once you get the kit compare the parts to make sure they are the same

@@handymandiy3368 Thanks for your answer !!

@@handymandiy3368 Thanks !!

Yes, that was a fast fix as I wanted to test the engine out. Later on I had to reopen and clean the carb again so I got rid of that sealant. On the white bike where I cleaned the 2 carbs, you can see that I did not put anything else there. Thanks for the comment

I was using machine oil, the oil that you put in sawing machines or guns and such, and one a bit thicker oil on the sliders so it sticks there. You should be able to get it in the electronic parts store.

@@handymandiy3368 Thanks!

Hello, I needed to see what is going on inside of the machine. The blue cap is a small magnet. If you check out the door, you will find a small magnet that is mounted there, the magnet is closing a contact that indicates that the door is closed. So what I did is I put the magnet to the contact and that way simulated that I have closed the door so I could watch what is going on in the machine

@@handymandiy3368 Thank you!

Hello, thank you for the comment. Actually I am working on it, you can see the playlist named Honda XL600 RMG 1987, that is the white bike and I am uploading the videos incrementaly as I am fixing the parts. There will be assembly video later on. The machine still will take some time until it is completed as it is in very bad shape and I am showing that in the videos with prefix No. x .

You can look forward to the airbox video. That part is shattered and I cant get a replacement for reasonable price so I will be reconstructing that using fiberglass :)

Hello, thanks for comment. Regarding your problem it is difficult to say what is going on, it may be some pump failed, it may be electronic component or something else. It would be probably best to take it to a repair shop if you are not skilled with fixing electronics. I hope you resolve your issue soon

Hello, thanks for watching the video. Between each of the gears is a washer. You can get the service manual for your specific engine and look at the insides and specs there. Many of the 110 and 125 cc engines are nearly the same construction, I have manual for Lifan, Linhai and TaoTao engine.

@@handymandiy3368 Would you mind giving me the tao tao manual please because I can’t seen to find it online. Thanks

@@Somerandomkarter101-hd5yu It is more like a parts list, but from that you can see how the parts should be assembled and what components are there, here you go dokumen.tips/documents/lifan-125cc-1p52fmi-parts-list-manual.html

@@handymandiy3368 Thanks man very helpful. Keep up the good work

@@handymandiy3368 Would you have the manual with all the engine specs for the Tao Tao?

Hello, I have used warm water but any water will do, the ink will dissolve depending on how old and how much ink is in there. I did not use any kind of cleaning solution, just clean water. Good luck with your cleaning 👍

Thank you, it was fun working on the workshop, it just took a bit longer than expected

Glad it was helpful!

Hello, thank you for the comment, my bike is XL600 RMG version, that version had the starter right from the factory. For the gas tank, mine also moves a round a bit, there are the rubber cushion that rest just near the ignition coil. Those help with the stability so you can get bigger ones or cut them out from some thick rubber so you get a better/tighter fit, that could help with the moving around. On my bike there do not stick and move freely so it is easy to lose them, I had to look for them in my garage several times :)

Hello, you can get spare parts also from here www.cmsnl.com/

Thank you for the comment. The video is actually from second time I have disassembled the carbs like about a week apart from the first one where I changed all the seals except the air cut off valve which I changed later as well. Most of the work was done on the first disassembly but I did not record that part. The drill bit was to get rid of hard gunk and don't worry there was nearly no pressure at all so no material would get removed or seat damaged. Actually it worked well for me as I had new valves but it was still leaking a bit. After doing that was fixed. I did not have the tool for flat level check so I used a caliper. I still have to buy necessary equioment for maintaining this bike. I have just got it and there is still many things I want to rebuild. For now I just wanted to know that the engine will run as it was in a really bad shape

Thanks, I have bought the kit in our local store at wemoto.cz

Thank you for the tips. Yes it has dual carbs. I have already removed the carbs and I will be cleaning them. I have fixed the issue with the rpm meter and there will be a video as well, but I want to upload it after it is properly tested so it can be in the video as well :)

Thank you, I am working on diy right side cover so another video will be soon :)
