Wow, just 40k kms?! That bike must look and feel like new.

Ich habe jetzt nicht viele andere Zylinder zum Vergleich, aber der ZT51N TGL und ein älterer LT50 Sport sind nur ein bisschen besser als ein guter normaler 50er. Dass man die Zylinder willig höher drehen kann finde ich persönlich halt schön, aber die eher geringe Mehrleistung ist den aktuellen Preisen nicht gerade angemessen.

Dankeschön!

Very nice! Greetings back to Germany!

Nice! Very rare indeed, compared to Europe where they were sold for 2 decades.

It's difficult to make new videos in winter, but I'm still trying 😄

Einfach nur mal neutral gefragt: Warum?

Erstmal da der leistung unterschied zum nem guten ori Zylinder nicht gerade groß ist auch der anzug ist nicht welt besser. 200 euro für quasie nen megu npc zylinder .Also wen ch so nen zylinder kaufen würde dann entweder den megu oder nem richtigen sport . @@nickpetrol

Naja, was heißt der Leistungsunterschied ist nicht gerade groß. 1,5 PS sind etwa ein Drittel mehr Leistung, das ist an sich schon okay. Aber beim Preis gebe ich Recht, 180€ sind schon recht viel.

​@@Rentner.Jaeger klasse dein Bericht! Hauptsache was geschrieben......

Dazu kann ich leider kein Video machen, sondern nur auf das Video von ZT selbst verweisen. Zudem habe ich keinen Prüfstand um eine Messung durchzuführen, und der Zylinder ist bei einem Kollegen verbaut (dort mit 16er Vergaser und AOA1 Auspuff). Dieser meinte aber schon zu mir, dass er auf den ersten paar Meter ndeutlich besser geht als ein normaler 50er, mehr wird sich aber erst nach dem Einfahren zeigen. Vielleicht kann ich ja dann ein Video mit seinem Moped machen, versprechen kann ich aber nichts.

Moin, den ZT51N TGL werden wir in Kürze ausführlich auf dem Prüfstand und der Straße testen. Grüße ✌️

@@co2radtechniksimsonkanal765 Sehr Sehr geil 🤩 Vielen Dank schonmal im Vorraus 👍🏻🤝🏻

​@@co2radtechniksimsonkanal765das freut mich sehr, das da was ausführliches von Dir kommt. Ich fahre zur Zeit den LT S51 Sport Zylinder mit AOA2 in der Schwalbe. Wie würdest du den bedüsen im BVF 16N1-12 Vergaser mit Vliespatrone und original Ansauggeräuschedämpfer? Den Ansaugschlauch habe ich abgemacht,weil sonst zu wenig Luft da ist.

​@@phen0mt4ker96Moin, ich würde beim 16er Vergaser mit einer 80er HD, bei offenem Luftfilter sogar 85er HD anfangen, schauen wie es läuft und wenn er damit überfettet in kleinen Schritten nach unten bedüsen. Grüße ✌️

I bought it with this exhaust on from the previous owner and accidentally found out it was a 1000cc Yamaha exhaust.

Just bought them on amazon. They are from the "YoungTimer" line from a brand called JOM.

Thank you! I try to keep it that way :D

Yeah, on the way back home I stayed away from the autobahn/Highway, because at those speeds and rpm the engine slurps almost as much oil as gas. XD

I couldn't log in for about a year and then I just forgot about the channel. But now everything is back online.

Standard wheels with Metzeler Tourance tires.

Nope, the XL600V has 50 HP stock (Europe, Germany) and mine was detuned to 48hp, so I can ride it with my A2 license.

Wow, that's very impressive! Most people wouldn't even buy a bike with this mileage.

@@nickpetrol To me , the mileage doesn't matter ... at least , not in this case . When i bought it at 93,000 km it was in the same condition as most bikes with 30,000 kms on the clock. The guy was an adventure rider like us . He had been up the Dalton hwy and the Labrador 500 a few times and took acer of his bike . Actually he was about the only guy to be completely honest about every detail of the machine ( in canada people lie constantly ) . I thanked him and told him it wasn't necessary as I was doing a crank up rebuild anyways . So at 93,000 km what did it need ? The crank was in excellent shape. I only had to go to the next thicker honda bushings . The cylinders were just a bit out of spec so i elected to have them rebored because i wanted the engine like new although when i purchased it still ran beautifully . I replaced all the internal bearings even though the stock ones were still in good condition. Of coarse all seals and gaskets were replaced as well. I have ridden this transalp up to the Canadian arctic twice now via the Demster hwy to inuvik ( I have an auxiliary tank installed on the rear in place of the carrier ) and one time across Canada and back ... Then i parked it . I have considered selling it , but recently i think i might do a special project with it .Perhaps an aluminum frame modernized Dakar replica.

Okay that sounds crazy cool. I don't know anybody else who has ridden a more adventurous route than that. And the Aluminium Frame Replica also sounds like a difficult but very cool project. Keep it up, man!

@@nickpetrol Cheers

Haha, thanks! I wish you good luck with buying one!

It's connected to (right before) the turn signal relais. But watch out that you connect it right, depending on model year and country the turn signal relais has different connectors.

@@nickpetrol Thanks for the tip, I believe I have a German model.

Then it should work just fine. Be sure to use the right wiring diagram for your model year. Makes everything a lot easier!

Yes, it's cracked all over the place, due to old age and sun (UV) wear.

Danke! Mit (eigentlich) 920€ war sie bei uns in der Region mit Abstand die Günstigste und am nähesten gelegene. Hier bekommt man nichts unter 2000€, es sei denn man will über 300km weit weg fahren.

In der Nähe von Meiningen.

Thank you!

Thank you! It's the MRA Windscreen.

It feels just the same as before. But I didn't do any tuning or rejet of the carbs.

The best you can do in this situation is reading in forums. From what I heard, the 600s from 94 to 96 are the most reliable, but I can't really give a serious recommendation because of lack of experience with other model years.

I guess because they were more popular in europe they go for lower prices , but in Canada where they are very rare , the couple that i have seen for sale over the years usually go for over 4700 $ and these are the 1987-1988 models like mine

Thank you! But a CRF1000L is far from a bad choice, a very nice bike. Of course it's more modern, but I wouldn't say it doesn't have the history (with the legendary XRV750 as predecessor).

After all the hard work and time put into the restoration, I can very well understand that you want to keep it! Thank you!

True that! It doesn't get any attention whatsoever, but I'm still proud of it.

@@nickpetrol I doubt it was designed to attract attention !

I'm sorry to hear that! Maybe it's something caused by a lack of maintainance of a previous owner? Either way, I wish you good luck and that the shop can fix your Transalp!

To be honest, I never tested it, but if you compare the power-to-wheight-ratio they're both equal. But I don't think we're here to race against Dukes, are we?! 😉

@@nickpetrol haha. Yes ofcourse. I use my Transalp primarily for traveling. I doubt that modern bikes will last this long, these are the last of the analog motorcycles I suspect.

True that! Simple and understressed engines made with quite modern manufacturing processes... They seem to last forever!

Yeah, just fill up oil regularly and they run forever.

@@nickpetrol I read that some went beyond 400 000 km !

@@pateris Well, I've heard some managed more than 200 000 kms, but 400 000 kms, that's just crazy.

@@nickpetrol At a BMW garage close to my former home (not affiliated with BMW, not even a seller, the old-fashioned kind), they made an ad with the odometer of a K100 at 440 000 km. When I told them, the guy said "Ah, yes, this one ? It's still running, it must be around 600 000 now…" *Sound of a mind just boggling*

Amazing! Just simple, durable and overbuild engines!

Yeah, I'm really interested in a new Transalp too! The new Arfica Twin is just too big and heavy for my taste, and if Honda won't offer a suitable succesor, then I guess I'll have to switch to Team Blue and the Tenere 700 sometime in the future.

@@nickpetrol The Tenere 700 is too off-road for my usage, so I'd probably consider either a used Versys 650 or the Royal Enfield Himalayan, but only as a second bike as the RE definately isn't a motorway/autobahn bike.

@@andrewmack2161 The T7 may be too off road oriented for me too, but still more of a real advetnure bike than everything else Honda offers at the moment with this engine dissplacement. And the RE Himalayan is definitely underpowered for where I live.

Thank you for the information, but i'm still not looking forward to test it myself 😄

Wow, 75000 miles, even more than mine! But I have to admit, mine doesn't alwasy starts on the first button press anymore after the winter 😄

@@nickpetrol carbs never touched,just oil,filters ,1 head setand consumerbles,1 speedo cable,i throttle cable.been all over europe 4 times.longest 3 months and never let me down.one of the best plodderbikes ever.i use motobat batteries.they hold their charge for a very long time.

@@peterpyke1213 That's amazing! Transalps are not without reason known as one of the most reliable adventure motorcycles.

With the baffle/dB-killer installed.

@@nickpetrol very nice!

@@noostNL Thank you!

Thanks, man!

If you treat them right and top off oil regularly they run forever!

Same. My 87 has 141,000 ... rebuilt at 93,000 km

Very cool! Yeah the higher geared fifth gear certainly benefits fuel economy, especially when riding at higher speeds.

Thank you! Yes, true that.

It's the MRA Touringscreen (sometimes just called "T").

Thank you!

Or it is a '91 model, i always have these 2 numbers in mind, one of them is right :)

Thank you. Well, I rounded the price a bit up, because 932 Euros didn't sound that good 😄. You too, a merry Christmas!

My dad actually has a Cagiva Elefant 750, you can check him out on KZbin (NiceIce36)

Very nice! Just watched a bit of the Monte Zoncolan video, sounds pretty good too!

@@nickpetrol It has a Aftermarket muffler from "X-Racing" Because the original weighed about 11 Kgs, so about 8kg less mass :D

@@_T.C.G_ Okay that's awesome! The GPR muffler saves about 2kgs max.

Oh and what happened to your Windscreen?

I record the audio with a digital audio recorder wrapped in foam, which is simply stored in my backpack. The windscreen is just cracked because it's as old as time itself 😄. Sunlight and the pressure and forces of the headwind took quite a toll.

@@nickpetrol Ah okay sounds like a good idea, may try that but my GoPro doesn't record audio with the external microphone anymore, i don't know what broke but I'll have to fix that until next year :D

Unfortunately I can't help you with that, but still: Good luck!

@@nickpetrol Thank you, you keep up the good Videos, i enjoy every one of them :)

Yeah, but don't get used to me speaking, it will remain the exception (apart from two more videos scheduled for December):D. The MZ, by the way, sounds like a nice weekend project for the wintertime 👍.

@@nickpetrol we've had it for about a year or two now, had been sitting in the garage for quite a while because we have other projects running right now, but I hope we finish it sometime so I can take it for a ride.

Well, good luck then!

Yeah, it depicts the sound much more realistically. It was really worth the investment!
