Oh man, I was waiting for this video, and I’m gutted it didn’t work as well as we all hoped. See you in the next video, hopefully with a positive outcome! Cheers!
@onemileattatime2642 yes. But the spokes can't just with 5200 and and issues, it won't come off the rim without ruining it. I have a video where I made this work. You can see it pop up at the end of this video or the pinned comment on this video
consider to use large diameter stickers over spoke heads, that way you aren't trying to seal between metal parts (head and rimm) but lay out the sealant over them ,leaving the heads free to move and don't disturb the sealant ...
Lacquer thinner would have been a good solvent/cleaner to use. You can buy that stuff in gallon cans too. Most any home improvement store would have it and it is relatively inexpensive.
@arnoutvanwijk yes. Just filled a video. I have tubeless and cruise so I'll keep my bike. But if you don't have the bike yet, wait for 2025 to see if rumors are true
That's why I used them. So the spoke spins and breaks the seal front he sticker. The 3m is very strong and would rip before it let's the spoke spin freely. But wrong or right, it's a 2$ weightless extra security.
@@DragoniteMotoJP I did the same on my Africa this summer, just without the stickers. But I feel good, when i am going on the road whitout the tubes :)
I love Japanese bikes but this is true about the push you up to the top model to get things like tubeless. The Himalayan 450 can be specked with tubeless rims but not the transalp? If tubeless was an option on the transalp there would be one in my garage now
@slakk5093 honda worried that the transalp would take sales from the africa twin but in reality, if done right, it would take sales from ktm, aprilia, yamaha, and suzuki.
@Diegoadavilab yes I did. It can if they notice it. It's not hard to remove if you need ot get warranty work done and veridian claim it leaves no trace. But better to email them, they are very helpful with these question
Late to the party. I so enjoy your channel, just down to earth real talk. Regarding the transalp, it's on my shortlist. I just cannot look at the front headlight, and the way they picked the colors, this thing alone makes me walk past it if it was parked on the street. Is there anything, anything, visual trick or whatever to make it look better? decals? are there even after market headlight that blend better?
@moonbiscuit8742 there are decals. I agree, it not the prettiest bike, but it does look better in real life than in photos. But I'm no fashion person, as soon as you ride it, you don't care to much how it looks
@Chris_Z. yes, resellers of VMX wheels that I mentioned in the outex video. If I had the money I'd have bought them, but those are $1500 before shipping,this approach (which workes in the video coming out next week) is under $40 I'm about 10k subs shy of affording kke😅
@dontrail9653 I've seen ktm can have a leak every few years. I belive the do a rubber gasket around each spoke. I figured out a better way to do it. That vidoe coming soon
man,that africa twin is gorgious,i love this bike and color.its just i dont want to spend those extra 5k and honestly i dont need so much big bike.i have commet to your channel many times.i havent purchase my new bike yet.i think i ll wait for the 2025 models.there are some that interest me,like the new tenere.or if honda give some better colors to the transalp.or if aprilia give a nicer headlight to the tuareg. but,man why are you doing this to yourself?what wrong with tubes?
I’ve managed to make the front work:

@@KikoBW7 yes. The next video worked perfect. I know what went wrong
@@DragoniteMotoJP happy to hear you finally made it work!
I just saw a video of a guy who used 3m 5200 version, waited 4 days to cure and success

@@ShurikGi yes, that's what I did.
I have a video coming soon where I do it in a slightly different way that worked very well

@paul5683 thanks.
I have a follow up tot his video where acetone works and now I'm tubeless.
But I'll check if I need it in the future
There are rumors going around about a Transalp-R coming in 2025. With tubeless and optional cc. Can't wait for Eicma.
@arnoutvanwijk yes. Just filled a video.

Thanks for the video. I don't think Alu stickers are needed. Because when you tighten the spikes, your heads are spining

@schvab1000 tubes make sense on serious dirt bikes.
That's not what these are. Hate tubes.
Have you had to adjust spokes?
I will have to do a few soon
Did the system work?
Have there been any problems with long use?
@Suprmert I did it a bit different.
See the videos coming out Thursday or Friday

Hello, did you install the Veridian Cruise? Does this void Honda's warranty?

Could always buy new rims?
@@digitalmike330 40x the price but yes
@@DragoniteMotoJP KKE racing make a full wheel set that is tubless for the Transalp. Much safer.

Where can i get the blue tape for the wheel?
@@EmilIsaevski as stated in the video. It's the original rim strap that came with the bike to protect the tube
Search what sealent ktm´s are using, they have to chance ever 5 years

@thodoris3790 watch the the outex video, I explain all the issues with tubes on a bike like this
Put the wheel in a bath of water and you'll see if any leaks are happening
I did 3m conversion and mine was all good. You just got unlucky
@@Alex-if3sr I redid it and figured out what was wrong.
That video is coming out next week
If Honda could have safely converted a tubed rim to a tubeless one with the help of some adhesive, that's what they would have done.
@@cameronsays honda hmcould have given the same rims as on the africa twin. Similar manufacturing costs
