Honda xl600v Transalpine | United Kingdom | Gumtree

1996 model, 20,000 miles, top box, metal belly pan, engine bars, tank skin, new chain, has been rebuilt, on a Q-plate £1,000

Non-standard all white paint job? If you look closely you can see red paint underneath the white.

I'm not sure it's really a 1996 model as it has a black engine, single front disc, rear drum brake and an "old style" (pre-1994) front cowling? So my guess is it was made around 1990/1991 (hence 20,000 miles seems extremely low for that year).

(DVLA website says this vehicle was first registered/imported in 1998 )

The black engine with the chrome oil feed pipe gives it away as a pre-update model, so 1988/9 model. Too much wrong with that machine to get me to want to go anywhere near it:(

1991 Honda Transalp | eBay

1991 model, 54,000 miles, homemade hard luggage, tall screen, engine bars, heated grips. Non standard all-black paint job, hard to tell condition as pics aren't great.

I seem to remember this was on ebay before, but can't find the link. My estimate is it's worth about £900

    The 600 Transalp Ebay/Gumtree thread... Following on from this thread: https://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/transalp/131537-600-transalp-ebay-gumtree-thread.html This is PART TWO

  2. Removing rubber bushings (handlebar mounts) from Transalp 600 top yoke

    Transalp
    There are a few threads where people talk about replacing these bushings, but getting them out proved to be a much harder job than I'd expected. Here's a list of the tools I needed, though you might not need all of them : vice with padded jaws hammer small chisel and/or old screwdriver blade...

  3. over heated exhaust

    Transalp
    Hi folks iv got a problem on my 1987 Transalp 600. The exhaust heats up to 120 degrees within 20 seconds of the engine starting on the front cylinder, Valve clearances are spot on and the carbs have had a new kit fitted and she is still doing it . Any thoughts .

  5. Transalp 600 Oil Pump chain (Roller type)

    Transalp
    Hi all Changing the clutch on my 89 600 Transalp and found the oil pump chain very slack, so decided to change, I bought one brand new from another forum member of the correct part number as per the parts list I could find but it’s totally different from the one fitted, which is a roller chain...

  6. Chain adjustment - New drive set and rear tyre

    Transalp
    Always asking :) Just installed a new chain and sprocket set, and new rear tyre. My question is ... where should the wheel be placed in relation to the adjuster gauge/arrow ? The pictures shows the wheel as far forward as it will go. Many thanks guys !
