    TA 700 Surges/cuts out

    Hi Gentleman, So interesting thing started happening to my TA. On a trip through Lesotho the other day the bike started surging. Riding at constant throttle it will feel like the power moves between 1 or 2 cylinders or if you like, full power then half power. If I toggle the kill switch while in...

    Diagnosing possible misfire.

    As to the actual reason for this phenomenon I cant say. What I do think though is that it's a characteristic of the TA at certain engine temp. Myself and a friend both have TA's , mine 2008 his 2011. We do our own service and repairs on the bikes, valve clearance was checked and confirmed...

    GPS/Cellphone mounting TA

    @ Exploratio - Looks good :thumleft: That's exactly where I had in mind for mounting it. I've experimented a bit with the normal suction mount that one would use on a vehicle windscreen. I stuck the mount on inside of screen, fitted the GPS and attached a string for safety. On my "test" ride the...

    GPS/Cellphone mounting TA

    Was wondering if anyone has been successful in making a nifty bracket or mounting for their GPS/Phone above the display/dials? There's plenty of handlebar mounts out there but I was thinking of tucking it in under touring screen? Any thoughts? ???

    Rear tyre??? what are you using on your transalp

    I've currently got Michelin Anakee 3's front and back. ( TA700) If your riding is predominantly tar then this tyre is the way to go. I've done over 12000Km's on them and they are only now starting to show wear, I recon I'll get 16K  -18K out of them before they are ready for replacing. Dislikes...

    How to modify front mudguard?

    So I've taken a few pictures (sorry about quality, bit crap, dirty lens) but you should be able to get an idea of how it was done. Bit of flat-bar and angle iron is all it took.  :thumleft:

    How to modify front mudguard?

    Hey guys, I've done this mod on my 2008 TA a year ago or so. Wasn't too difficult , I'd say took me 3hrs to make the bracket and mount PoliSport Super Motard front fender. Looks a-hell-of-a-lot better than original. If this topic is still relevant I can take some pics and post it :thumleft: Cheers!

    Changing handlebars...worth it?

    Hey iamgigglz Thanks man :thumleft: It confirms what I suspected, the Givi screen has more of a lip to it on the outer edge than my Puig. In my opinion the Givi is a much better looking screen. I see you also have the crash bars, I fitted spots to mine not so long ago, also Givi. Right, that...

    Changing handlebars...worth it?

    iamgigglz, ye I think I'm going to do it.  :ricky: If for nothing else but the look, the original bars look too iffy. You say you have the Givi screen on yours, I'm about to buy one. I do have the Puig screen on at the moment but prefer the look of the Givi. You might be able to help me answer a...

    Changing handlebars...worth it?

    Hi Guys I'm toying with the idea of changing standard handlebars on my TA700 to something like a Pro-taper design with handlebar risers. I've seen this done on another TA and thought it looked snazzy. Has anyone done this and can comment on handling, feel of the bike. I guess what I'm asking is...
