Honda XRV750 Africa Twin

[danielburgess]

The RD07A also have a TPS (throttle position sensor) which might explain the better fuel consumption.

 

Cheers!

cool lah... been thinking of changing the suspension and handle bar. ANy idea where i can get cheap cheaP?

[danielburgess]

Cheap would be to buy a second hand one from a forumer or from Ebay.

 

Anyone here ever changed their chain slider before? Is it expensive? And easy to do?

[ozzarhomb]

Shinko tyres?? The 700 series or 244 series? where you got those from and how much is it?

I replaced the chain slider myself, can be done without removing chain and swingarm, need some struggling and contorsion act with your hand....bought it from one of the stockist... price less than $30..i think, can't be sure though but definitely not ex.

[danielburgess]

That is good news for me. Been chatting on the UK Africa Twin forums, they say the same thing as well.

 

Cheers!

Hi

 

Have a look at post #12 of this thread I post a graph of market data (asking prices) 6.5 year bike should be asking 8-9k on average.

 

Be wary of odometer readings, look at wear and tear items.

 

 

• Rubber foot peg covers should be slightly worn only.
   
  
• Hand grips should be original with little wear.
   
  
• Rear brake discs should not have deep grooves in them.
   
  
• The gear selector rubber grooves should be almost the same depth all the way around.
   
  
• The chain and sprokets should be factory original or quite new.
   
  
• Check the date on the tires (4 digit showing weeks/year) old tire might support the bike's low miles claim.
   
  
• a low miles bike should/might have the original indicators (squarish) which droop down over time.
   
  
• flip the fuel cap key cover, check for excesive wear.
   
  
• open the fuel tank and check for excessive number of scratches inside the tank or the lip.
   
  
• Radiator fins should be in very good condition.
   
  
• Radiator water should not be rusty.
   
  
• put bike on main stand, ask someone the push the rear wheel down. the bars should swing smoothly from left to right if they stick in the middle, bearing gone, which should not happen at 30K.
   
  
• Grab top of wheel from the right or left side and push back and forth lightly, any play indicate bearing worn. (should not happen on 30k bike)
   
  
• Engine should sound tight, no ratling.
  

 

Good luck with your hunting.
