So I decided to try the 16 teeth sprocket, instead of the stock 15, on my Transalp 700, and see if I like it.
Also some information about the gears ratio I choosed for my Transalp 650.

The quality of the video was a lot better before uploading to KZbin, not sure what happened here... By the way, if you have tried the 16 teeth sprocket, give us your opinion!

I have a transalp 700 from 2009, now 83000km. I've been using a 16 teeth sprocket for the last 6 months, more or less. My first experience with it has been a travel with light luggage, and I came home happy... for highways and fast riding it was ok. For solo travelling in the mountains it was "almost" ok, the bike has a good torque but I always felt it a bit "rough", with the constant need to keep a lower gear and higher revs. Riding with a passenger made the things even harder. I went back to the 15 teeth, and I'll keep it: it's a easier driving, solo or two up even with luggage. And when in highway, I'll let the pistons revving... al 6000 - 6500rpm i'll keep it singing.

I totally agree with you. The 16 teeth gives a better ride for long travels on highway, but with the 15 teeth the bike is so much responsive and well balanced everywhere, curvy roads, city, offroad, etc. Thanks for watching!

I went 1 tooth up from stock on my 700alp. You definitely use more clutch during slow maneuvers and pull away, but the absolute pleasure of the easygoing nature on the highway now makes it more than worth it for me.

If you mainly use the bike on the highway or fast roads, it's definitely worth it, as the 700 have a lot of torque to benefit from the 16 teeth sprocket. For frequent city or offroad use, I definitely don't like it. Not only you abuse the clutch a lot, but you loose the possibility of driving at very low pace with a lot of torque in the throttle. Thanks for watching!

Maybe the tooth less at rear?

With a tooth at the rear you get aproximately a third of the results of a tooth in the front, so not a big difference but still noticeable. On my 650 I put a tooth more in the rear to get better overtakes on mountain roads, and also shorter gears when offroading while being able to still keep a good speed on highways. The good thing about replacing the front sprocket is that it's easy and fast to do, so you can have two sprockets for a long travel where you have days of long highway stretches followed by offroad days. Changing the front sprocket only requires a few minutes.

what is the transalp 650 like on the motorway? I baught one but dont have licence yet so cant test. Also what sort of fuel consumtion do you get on the 650?

Hi! Well, this video was about the 700, but I've had two 650 and traveled a lot with them. The 650 is very comfortable for motorway use, but not as powerful as the 700, so if you like to go frequently over the speed limits, at some point you will be disapointed. But if you're getting your license it's a perfect bike to start, very capable everywhere and not too heavy. The consumption depends a lot on your type of riding and where you ride. With my use, on a stock 650 I had an average of 6l/100km, which went down to 5,5l/100km after I chopped the cat out and put a K&N air filter. If the consumption is important for you it's also a good idea to reduce the main jets on the carburetors from 132 to 125. This way the bike will also work better at high altitude. Cheers.

I have it, it is fine but it is not it's primary use. I drive mine on the highway up to 130 km/h, cruising speed for Transalp is 100 km/h. I love the bike, it is one of most reliable and fun bikes up today and I will never sell it.

@@motomeditacija yh I won't sell mine either. It sounds so good aswell. On video it sound bad but in person is so good. I need to wait till next year for licence now but I really can't wait but I'm not willing to potentially loose my other licences just to ride the bike a bit earlier. My 125cc is good enough and even travelled on that aswell. Did 500km trip to the mountains in one day. All i can say is 500km is a lot to do on a 125cc in one day but was a lot of fun.

I'm looking to get this bike for mainly road riding, is it possible to go 17 tooth, or won't iy clear the casing?

I don't know if there is a 17 teeth available for this bike, but that seems way too much, even for only road use. I know there are smaller rear sprockets available, that may help you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I never owned a Transalp 600, and hasn't used them enough to give useful opinion about the gears ratios. My experience with a lot of diferent Honda models is that from factory they come very well balanced for any type of use. If you use your bike more for offroad, city oy mountain roads, you may be interested in shortening the gears by adding teeth on the rear sprocket or putting one less in the front. If you use it more for travel on highways, you may consider doing the opposite. If you just use it for everything, keep it stock, you can't go wrong. The onboard videos have been shot in southeastern Spain. Cheers!

It depends where they come from and how loud and frequent they are. In extreme situations it can damage a valve. Did you change something on the bike that increased the popping and crackles? It's hard to tell whithout testing the bike. If you are worry about it you should bring the bike to a good mechanic, but the Transalps 650 and 700 are prone to pops due to the PAIR system.

Piss off that stupid sprocket locking system & just use a surclip they are more reliable & don't wear out the spline then fale. Allowing the sprocket to come adrift...
