Honda Transalp 2023 Air Filter Removal

This is my experience getting to the air filter to give it a clean.
I am not a mechanic or expert, so this is not instructional. This is simply what I did, right or wrong.

Thank you for the video. I have a feeling a good portion of these bikes will have the original filter for the life of the bike. Make a mental note when refusing to buy a cheap used one in ten years.

[@gabrielkopp2036]

This is the very reason I didn't and won't buy a transalp ever

[@TerraRiderAdventures]

Same on the AT. I had to "rebuild" the bike after changing it. Lol

[@paulmccloskey7287]

Thanks for the video. Looks like the idiot engineers that designed the Goldwing designed the TA. No thought for people that have to do maintenance.

[@TheZakkmylde]

Dammit. I wanted to love this bike. Now I’m not so sure 😢

[@jhackett9482]

Its good for 8000 miles so no problem for me where I live. I dont mind taking stuff apart but I know some people don't want to mess with it. Definately not a deal breaker, I'll just do it on a rainy day with a couple of beers.

[@markchoitz443]

thanks for showing me that I will never change my own air filter on my TA., good step by step though.

OMG... Dismantling half of the bike for an air filter change?! The person who designed this must have been drunk... seriously.

Thanks for filming this, vstrom 800 is the bike you want, absolutely ridiculous the amount of work needed to change the transalps air filter, wouldn't buy one unless I get one for a few grand in 10 yrs time, maybe.

Thanks for filming this process... it's a bit of a bugger by the looks of it. Air box access is definitely one of the negatives with the TA. I have dug into the bike a bit doing some MODs but have not had to lift the tank yet...yet. Thanks again for the info.

It would be difficult to hide it more.

[@southerndeth]

What a nightmare.

[@jocon6656]

Oof. No way I want to be doing that out at Birdsville or something. Lotta dust in Aus.

[@errikoespinoza2133]

Seriously?

[@indiaden]

When you get the TA you buy a very good bike for a very good price. So, expect some "not so perfect" things. You want to replace your air filter easy... buy a Vstrom 800!

[@tremorflow3614]

Nice one mate! Not exactly easy but looks easier than a few bikes I've owned. Lol people not buying a good bike because the air filter needs a little work to change. Thats funny!

[@jesusstuntdouble]

hi mate, good video. where did you get your tank grip from?

[@davidprendergast4068]

Was looking into getting a transalp not a chance now ......designed by engineers that have no idea what's involved in a service

[@jsmith7013]

Crappy part is that the trans alp would be a perfect bike for me but no way I would tackle that. Only option would be to pay a dealer and I'm guessing that bill would be well over $200.00. Maube that's what these companies are thinking. Make more money on maintenance. I could be wrong.

[@MarcosSalmeron-pj8vm]

Les debería dar vergüenza ha los ingenieros de Honda, deberían de copiar como se cambia el filtro de aire en una KTM 😂😂😂

[@AngelOfDarkness01]

This construction is aboslutely ridiculous. Who creates such unserunfriendly nonsense? Well, thank you for the advice for definitely NOT buying a new Transalp.
