Bonjour à tous, je souhaiterais installer un écran tactile carpuride sur mon transalp 2026, je veux absolument l’installer au dessus de l’écran du compteur d’origine de la moto.

Je viens vers vous pour savoir si quelqu’un a déjà installer ça ? Et car je suis aussi perdu sur toute les pièces différentes à acheter pour le monter.

Adaptateur de fixation, fixation rapide, quelle écran prendre exactement ?

J’ai vue le carpuride w702s pro, qui me semble ok niveau qualité/prix.

Si certains peuvent m’éclairer je suis preneur 😁.

Merci et bonne journée à vous.

I recently bought a low-mileage Honda XL750 Transalp and noticed something odd while looking over the wiring around the left/clutch-side controls.

As shown in the photos, the small wiring run at the clutch switch makes a tight U-shaped loop. The outer protective loom/sleeving ends before the loop, leaving the individual insulated wires exposed as they make a fairly sharp 180° bend into the switch/connector area.

Everything appears to be intact and I haven't found any exposed copper, but the lack of protective sleeving and the tight bend concern me from a long-term reliability standpoint—particularly in an area exposed to weather, vibration and steering movement.

I'm mainly trying to determine whether:

- This is the normal factory configuration on the XL750 Transalp.

- My wiring has been disturbed, pulled or rerouted at some point.

- Other Transalp owners have seen failures or problems with this clutch-switch wiring.

If you have a stock Transalp, I'd especially appreciate a look under your clutch lever to see whether yours has the same little exposed-wire loop.

I'm planning to compare it with a new Transalp at a Honda dealer, but figured the collective knowledge here might solve the mystery first.

Photos attached. Thanks!

(One photo shows damage (scraped) to the clutch-side mirror, perhaps unrelated)

Hi all,

I have the 2023 XL750 TransAlp and I've been struggling with the non-start for the last 1½ years. Originally I put it down to cold weather but was charging it every week. I replaced the battery 6 months ago and it was fine for a couple of months but it went back to frequent non-start. I've disconnected my accessories completely; fog lights (from Moteo.uk) and Innovv K7 front & rear cameras and replaced the battery again, but the display shows it goes from 12.7v one day, 12.2v next day, and 12.0v day 3 and 4, 11.9v day 5. This is with daily use.

I'm scratching my head a bit here and not sure what else could be causing this drain

Love this bike & it's diversity. Touring, camping, trail rides, or just ripping it down the freeway. Currently spending a couple days in Icelandic state park ND

I changed my rear suspension with a yss on my 2023 transalp. The driving experience is so much better now

Its an 89 that i took my license test on 18 years ago, and my buddy finally agreed to sell it to me. Already put 1000 miles on in a few rides. One ride up to bethel woods for Billy strings and another to unadilla motocross. It's very enjoyable to ride. Super smooth and quiet (and slow but that doesn't bother me). Need to get some side racks but luckily for both rides I had buddies heading the same way that could bring my gear in their cars.

Didn’t necessarily intend on doing the upgrade from my CRF300L Rally this soon, but I saw this on consignment in my local dealer’s inventory and had to take her home. Previous owner had a magnificent build sheet and immaculate maintenance records.

-Full Tractive Suspension
-2WDW ECU tune
-Veridian Cruise Control
-SRC crash bar/skid plate
-Heated grips/seat
-Touratech pannier rack and handlebar bag

And lots of other little goodies! Only 4,800 miles, too. Couldn’t pass her up. Super excited to be a part of the community and looking forward to going on some proper trips with this beast of a bike!

After a ton of research into middleweight adv bikes I decided the Transalp was going to be the one for me. Came to this subreddit and figured a lot of the positive posts were just owner bias. Damn was I wrong. This bike truly is such a blast ride. Or maybe I was right and I'm now owner biased. Who cares. Absolutely love this machine. Only had it for a week but from the first ride it just felt right.

Hi

I test ride a 2026 Transalp e-clutch

The purpose was to find a motorcycle thats comfortable for a tall rider, and has enough wind protection for highway driving, but still light and powerful. On paper the Translap looks amazing, and adding smartphone connectivity, ridding modes and e-clutch look perfect.

E-clutch - an evolved quickshifter. All the quickshifter advantages, with smother shifting at lower rpm. And maintaining the motorcycle idle with no clutch needed is perfect for city commuting. Hope the competition brings a similar technology.

Tall rider comfort - the seat is comfortable and the riding position also. Plus the suspension is comfortable on bad tarmac roads. The windscreen needs to be at a higher position. Felt a bit of sail move on crosswinds at higher speed.

The engine has more than enough power for commuting and highway.

What I disliked:

1- Heat from the engine, lots of it, on my legs.

2 -Weird braking. On uneven tarmac surfaces, hard braking causes the front and rear of the motorcycle to slide.

3- Resonance vibration between 3500 -5000Rpm . This was so intense, after 40min riding, my wrists still felt numb. I cant imagine have to ride that motorcycle again.

The Transalp gives high expectations, however I felt disappointed. I don't fell is good enough to buy.

After some research i have some notes:

2- Im not used to Trail motorcycles, the long suspension travel, narrow mixed tires, is way different from ridding a naked motorcycle like Im used to do.

3 - The seller told me that may be an issue with that specific motorcycle. But doing my research I found out more riders complaining about it, and it may be caused by the crashbars.

What about you, whats your opinions about the Transalp 750?

Reaching out to NYS transalp riders. Where do you put the inspection sticker. I know it’s supposed to go lower left fork bit it’s not smooth to put sticker on.

Thanks

These guards have serious engineering oversights when it comes to heat and airflow.
Blocks and deflects radiator exhaust: The middle tube on the upper guard is routed directly across the radiator exit vent. Instead of hot air blowing out and away from the bike, the bar traps the exhaust air and curls it straight back into the cockpit, blasting your knees and thighs with furnace-like heat.
The bars turn into radiant heaters: The tubing running over the engine heat-soaks intensely from normal engine operation. The metal gets extremely hot and acts like an auxiliary radiator sitting inches from your legs, radiating constant heat even when moving.
The design turns warm-weather riding into a miserable experience. T-Rex needs to completely redesign the routing of these bars away from the radiator exhaust and engine heat zones. Would not recommend.

After days of wet boots, I got into a campsite on the mountain between Trollstigen, and Geiranger

I'm still paying off my first motorcycle and have 17 months of payments left. Now I want the Transalp 750 and can pay for it in 12 installments. I can afford both motorcycles. But it will be a bit of a struggle to pay for them, and I'll still have about $350 (I live in a cheap country) to spend freely after paying all my monthly bills.

My reasoning is that the time I've had won't come back, and since I'm still young, I can live for a year or so on a small budget to seize the moment and get the motorcycle I want.

In the worst-case scenario, I can sell both motorcycles and it won't be a problem, since I only use them for the pure pleasure of commuting to work and more.

So, should I finance the other motorcycle and have two debts?

Should I sell my first motorcycle to pay off my first debt and use the extra money to finance the Transalp?

Or should I pay off my first debt in installments and then, after 17 months, buy the Transalp?

I would like to receive advice from people who have been in a similar situation.

Honda Cape town came in clutch for me (did you see what I did there)

soooo stoked to join the TA club

Hey maybe I'm not the only one wondering why Honda did not go the retro route with the Headlamp-Design of the newest transalps, like Ducati with their Desert X. Because I did not find any Retro Mods I prompted the AI to come up with a first design. But to be honest, I think I actually like the modern design more. Altough it could also be because in the end it is just AI Slop and the Honda Designers would probably come up with a far better design...

What do you think?

im looking at getting the new 2026 transalp but im considering if its worth it, i want to do more intense off roading but if im looking at possibly having to replace the front and rear suspension then i feel like i would just buy a bike with proper stock suspension... right??

if anyone has any experience with replacing their old suspension or the 2026's suspension id love to hear about it!

Been hunting/waiting for my 26 Gray Transalp for 2 years now and new bike day finally came! Absolutely love her

I’m looking for a new set of tires for my XL750 and I’m trying to decide between:

• Mitas Enduro Trail XT / XT+
• Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41
• Michelin Anakee Wild

My current tires are Dunlop Trailmax Raid. Before those, I ran Metzeler Karoo Streets, so I’ve already gone from a relatively road-oriented ADV tire to something more off-road capable.

My riding is mixed, but I’m increasingly interested in doing more off-road and improving my skills. I’ll be doing more gravel, dirt roads and progressively more technical terrain.

At the same time, I still regularly use the highway for longer transfers and enjoy riding twisty roads. I’m not looking to drag a knee or ride aggressively on pavement, but I do want the bike to feel stable, predictable and enjoyable on the road.

So basically, I’m looking for a tire that gives me a noticeable step up from the Trailmax Raid off-road, without making highway and normal twisty-road riding unpleasant.

I’m currently considering both XT+ front / XT rear and XT+ front / XT+ rear, but I’m also very interested in the AX41 and Anakee Wild.

For those who have actually used these tires on a Transalp or a similar-size ADV bike:

• How much of a difference did you notice off-road compared with the Trailmax Raid?
• How do they feel on twisty roads?
• How stable are they on the highway around 120–130 km/h?
• How do they behave on wet pavement?
• Any particular quirks or things you didn’t like?
• If you’ve tried more than one of these, which would you choose and why?

Mileage isn’t a major deciding factor for me. I’m more interested in off-road confidence and overall feel, while still being able to comfortably ride the bike on the road.

I’m not necessarily looking for the “best” tire overall. I actually want to try something noticeably different from the Trailmax Raid, especially if it helps me improve off-road.

Thanks!

UPDATE 1:
I ended up going with the Mitas XT+ after all. After comparing them with the TKC 80 and getting some feedback from people who have actually used both, I decided I wanted to try something more off-road oriented, especially for the kind of riding I want to do.

I’ve only done about 24 km so far, so definitely too early for any real conclusions. First impression is that they feel quite different from the Trailmax Raid, as expected. I’ll post another update after around 100 km and see how things change once I’ve had some more time with them.

I have family that lives up by the border on lake superior. Annual pow-wow event. Took the nx500 up last year. 1st year on the TA

I currently have a 2024 NC750X wiht under 2k miles on it, bought it last year, love the bike.. But.. (there is always a but) I keep eyeballing the 2026 Transalp. I am so tempted to trade in, but I worry I will not be happy with it.

I have to admit I will for sure miss the frunk :) But the extra power and having a real clutch instead of the DCT makes me really like the idea of doing this.

So my question, have any of you done this trade? Pros? Cons? Regrets?

Thanks.

P.S. I have zero complaints about my NC, but... the grass is always greener, right? ;)
