Hi guys,

 

I'm currently riding a transalp 400 and I'm thinking of selling away cos I wan to upgrade. It's a '95 XL400V model.

New parts:

Front n rear rims bearings

Sprocket bearings

Cone bearings

New shinko tyres

Spark plugs

Handlebar risers

DRZ stock mirrors(stock mirrors will be given)

Metal acerbis handguard(stock handguards will be given)

Currently on tall windscreen

 

The bike is in good condition other than wear n tear parts. Will show u if wan to view. Other than that, runs perfectly fine. 100-120km/hr is a breeze. No rush to sell, but if can sell, better reason to upgrade. SMS me @ 98328763(Yan)

Hello All!

 

My name's David and I'm the Deputy Admin over on Transalp.org.

 

I have a member on that site who lives in South Africa and has a grey market XL400V Transalp that he needs some parts for that the Honda Dealer there can't or wont help him get. What he needs is the stock Thermostat and Sealing Gasket or O-ring - any chance one of you knows the part numbers or could look them up and post back here?

 

Thanks - David
