Hi, Flatout Man, dis jammer jy is daar agter die wyngordyn... ek het verlede naweek die Transalp se voorvurke oorgedoen (myne het 19,700 km opgehad) en die Wilbers Promoto vere ingesit. Ek sal jou sê, ek was verstom oor die swak toestand waarin die fabrieks-vere was toe ek hulle uitgehaal het...

Lekka!! I am planning to purchase a set of those LED's soon and maybe someone (nudge, wink) can assist with the install on my TA, in a strictly advisory/ supervisory role, of course... Cheers H

Hi, Gigglz Yep, the sensor error could also be due to a loose connection with the MAP sensor, so all sorts of hell could break loose (I think) Essentially, book says: (the Official Herman8r Translation) "If the motor is still running, it is safe to ride." The electronic nannies will disable...

OK, so I took the bike to Honda Wing Centurion and explained the problem. "No, sir. We do not have the diagnostic tool here in the shop and it will take a long time to find the error code without it. I suggest you take the bike home and see what error code it gives. Then come back when you have...

Hi, Buzz & Bob Yes, I suspect a sensor or poor connection somewhere. Disconnecting the battery and leaving it for a few minutes before reconnecting has not solved it. Maybe I must just have Honda check it out - it is still well inside the warranty.... Thanks H

Thanks, will try.... (maybe the disconnect/ reconnect that happened when I fitted the Optimate cable was done the wrong way around??)

Hi, dawgs! - hope someone can help. My new (7800km) TA gave a its first ever glitch today. After my usual problem-free commute, I stopped for breakfast and then, out of the blue, the FI light came on and the fan was running, even though the engine temp showed only 80 degrees.  :eek7: I...

Gigglz UPDATE - I picked up 2 of the Hella-type sockets form WOA in Randburg @ R 80.00 each. Will fit soon. H

Excellent! Thanks, guys! Gigglz - I see World Of Accessories has the female Hella - type sockets on sale for R 120.00 each and I want to fit 2 (somewhere) I am not sure how the wiring circuit should work (I want it off when the bike is off and on all time the bike is on - sounds simple, but I...

...and one more VERY small change... I was not happy with the silver surround around the instrument cluster, so I took mine off and painted it matt black with a plain old can of Lac-R-Spray... CAUTION - if you do this at home, beware the little screw that sits centre top of the instrument...

Mine bought new - stock 2012 model Added: Kappa topbox - budget fare for commuting purposes. Rattles a LOT over bumpy stuff. Kappa panniers kit - useful for commuting as it ads space whilst still being about half a Kia Picanto narrower than a GS. The support bars are a pain to fit (the centre...

Hi, All It is about time I posted back here to advise you all of what the 16T front sprocket is like. The most common questions answered below: Will the bike go faster?  - Yes, my TA now does an indicated 180 km/h plus with full pannier and top box set plus one manically grinning fat bloke on...

Hey, Gigs!! Where did you have your power outlet fitted?? It looked a nice job and I want to do the same to mine... Lemme know? Ta Herman8r

Hi, Scrat I read this report this morning between 3 and 4 and it has been going through my mind the whole day. I thought of a thousand replies, but they all seemed far too soppy - I mean, with me not knowing you and being sober and all... I will summarise in two points: 1) You're a legend (I...

Guys (and girls) Check out this cool web page I found! https://www.gearingcommander.com/ Just plug in your bike's details and you can fiddle around to see what the different sprocket combo's will achieve. Cheers H
