I wanted to change the oil on my 700 TA. Cant find a drain plug!!! How do I drain the old oil? :dontknow:

I made it home, through Jhb hiway traffic, pulled into the driveway, stopped outside the garage, had both feet on the ground and then promptly fell off. I know, its a talent. Now I need a left hand rearview mirror for the TA 700. Anyone got or where can I get?

Travelling home on the highway today the traffic slowed but was fine, slowed to about 60kph. The cooling fan kept coming on, which it normally does when I travel in stop start traffic. It comes on at 103 and off at 101 degrees. My question, surely at 60 there should be enough airflow to keep the...

I am fitting a Hella type accessory socket to my TA. I want it independant of the ignition system. Is this wise and what amp fuse sould I fit? I am only using a compressor and GPS at the moment.

I understand abreviations like BTW, WTF, IMO but what hell are BMW, KTM and KLR?  :pot:

Dangerous question but my bike is close now to 1000ks but Im quite happy to cruise the highway at a 100, no temptation to open it up a bit. Maybe its age related. My mother always thought I was a little odd since I asked for a chainsaw and ski mask for my 6th birthday but my therapist says Im...

Any one out there know the legal ramifications of riding in the yellow "motor cycle lane", the one that the Metro cops pronounce "emergency". Good or bad thing, should or should not, do you? whats your opinion. I feel that there should be something about it in the constitution under maybe, "the...

Last week I went and spent, today I took delivery of a new  :biggrin:TA and have put on the first 29 kms. Rode home on the highway in traffic on the N3 south from Edenvale and not having ridden in the last 15 or so years, felt a bit aprehensive, but by second gear, it all came back. Oh well...

I need a helmet sothat I can play with my new toy when I get it (5 more sleeps), popped into a supplier, thought Id pick one up and be on my way. Boy, did I get that wrong. I need advice. I like the Shoei Multi-tech or the Shark S800. Can anyone suggest an alternative. I like the ones where the...

When it comes to  all this digital technology, I am seriously mentaly bankrupt. Im still battling to use the 4 function calculator and the ATM. Can someone out there please explain to me, in absolute idiot terms, whether it is posible to take any GPS and use it for navigating anywhere, presuming...

My dear mother brought me up to err of the side of caution, do the sensible thing, be cautious ..... Now, my choice, KLR, DR or TA. Dilema, price verses all the rest, then comes the "voice", be sensible. Ma was right. But then Ma also said, "the trouble with you my boy is that you never listen."...

Life always gives us choices, even if you choose not to choose, you have chosen not to choose, still a choice. I would really like a TA and a bakkie, but the pocket size says no ways. The choice is, a TA and no bakkie or less bike and a bakkie. My car is getting old and is tired of being used as...

Am I being singled out (not being paranoid, ...why? what did they say?) or do any of "you all" out there find that the service at the Dealerships is like taking a trip to Home Affairs. Salesmen are like wheelbarrows, they will do the job so long as you stand behind them and push, stop pushing...

Mine is a "how long is a piece of string" type question. Can anyone give me some idea of the fuel consumption of the TA 700 and is it any better or worse than the 650? I know that it depends on, depends on, fishpaste, toast, but some kind of idea would be great. Also is the TA ok in traffic or...

I am looking to buy a bike soon and would like comments, good, bad or indifferent, on the Honda XL 700 Trans Alp. ??? ???
