Hello ,
I'm a new member in this forum and maybe first one from Lithuania :] My new (also first) bike is the reason I came here:] I bought a 2005 Transalp with 15k km on it:blob7:. I have only had a a few hundred kms on it, including two drops ..oops.
So now it's a lot of snow outside and I'm trying to give all the service my bike needs, it's pretty hard as it's my first bike :]
During winter I'll try to change the liquids - brakes, coolant and oil+filter. Thinking about Motul 5100 Ester semi-synthetic(good choice?). Put some fiberglass on the inside of the fairing, because it has some cracks:] In the spring i'll ask some guys to make me crash bars smth similar to africaqueens and Grave ones.
Now I'm stuck with registering a new key. Tried maybe more than 100 times, but couldn't enter the registration mode. Used wires with 100R, 1000R and without a resistor, didn't work :] any tips ?
Do I need to change air filter ? It has some dust on it, and is that burn spot on the other side showing smth bad ?
I also broken one of my handguards, so I'll have to search for something that fits my bike and allows to put handlebar in locked position :]
I'm also worried about my clutch. When I turn the bike on while on the paddock stand, rear wheel starts spinning when in neutral. It also spins, when in first gear with clutch lever fully pressed (adjusted, that it was very hard to press the lever). And it's hard to put into gear, feels like clutch is not fully pressed. What can I do ? Do I need to order new clutch ?
And when I removed the belly pan I found two holes in the front of the engine, you'll see them in the picture. Do i need to do something about them ?
I would like to share some pics https://picasaweb.google.com/v.valintelis/XL650V#
p.s. I found a present from previous owner :]] I'm not sure what is it, but it was hanging when i removed the belly pan and it's made from amber :]]
So, I am very happy to join your community ! :thumb:
