Many of us have have spent a lot on "improved" fork springs to try to solve the Transalp brake dive problem. The Intiminators work best with stock fork springs and solve the dive problem with correct damping, the way it should be. The Intiminators will work with any Transalp 41mm DAMPER ROD fork. Honda wouldn't make the Transalp any better because it would cut into their Africa Twin sales. Conversely Yamaha's T7 is a very bang for buck option with great performance and suspension for the class because Yamaha doesn't have other offerings in such bikes. Trying to decide if I should grab a left over 2019 V-Strom 650 or a 2020 CB500X. Both bikes fit my requirements, sub $10k, under 500lbs, 19" front wheel, ABS, Japanese. The CBX has proven difficult to come by with ABS, so I might be waiting until spring 2021 for the new models to come around. the ratio is 3/4 petrol/water. thus if you get 10 litres of water on the left side of the bike it is 10 kg and 10 litres of petrol on right side it is app. 7.5 kg. the difference is 2.5. so the left side of the bike will be 2.5 kg more heavier than the right side. hope this helps.

Top Speed. 170 km/h / / 105.6 mph. . The XLV600 Transalp had managed 14 years in production with only slight modifications, but in 2001 Honda finally gave its middleweight 'dual sport' bike a makeover. The 583cc V-twin engine of the 600 was bored out to a larger 647cc version, and the bodywork was restyled with a sharp nosecone and headlamp. Original Technical Review: Ben Purvis.
