You NEED to see this mod for the Honda Transalp!! 👀

In this video we will be making the Honda Transalp XL750 much more capable for our adventures.
We will be removing the stock exhaust and replacing it with the Dakar exhaust from Mivv.
This will now make the exhaust up near the rear rack rather than below the rear tire, making it much easier to get through tight obstacles and water crossings.

[@verlinswarey507]

Hey,I’m the guy who gave you a hard time on one of your recent videos about thinking that your exhaust needed to be changed! I feel bad about that. You can do whatever you want with your bike! And I really like all your videos and your approach overall to adventure riding. Also,the routing and the sound on this new exhaust is vastly superior to the old one!

[@PeterVred]

I didn't say anything, but I too felt that changing the exhaust was unnecessary. I just planned to take it easier on the trails. I thought it'd be too much trouble to change out as well. But no! Easy.

Hi, it's a really nice custom transalp. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@0HARE]

Very nice. This is the exact episode I was looking for. I plan on picking up my new TransAlp in January, and the exhaust was one of my main issues to address. I subscribed to your channel, hoping to get some more info & mods for the TransAlp. I like the look of that seat you have on the bike in this episode. Is it an add-on? Happy Trails!

[@3wheelmannc860]

That upgrade looks and sounds fantastic. I don't care for "loud" either, but a balanced and deep tone is my preference...hp/efficiency is a plus. Do you think a breathing upgrade would be helpful??? More air in...more exhaust out.

[@coachkyle89]

The muffler pitter patter sound with the baffle in can be tuned with some muffler packing material. I would check out the design and try to improve.

[@craighoffman6876]

Mivv makes good stuff, the can looks really cool, and the overall sound is great. Ya gotta love the throb of a 270 degree twin. The stock part throttle lower RPM to midrange fueling is super lean on any new bike, full throttle top end is generally correct as the EPA doesn't test there, except for sound, evidently. That "gargle" is due to it being lean. The US versions of the Transalp is also top end limited vs. Euro bikes. It is a psychological defect I have, but this would bother me. I bet an ECU flash with Nels over at 2 Wheel Dynoworks would get rid of the top end restriction and nicely improve the rest of the rev range. Corrected fueling would probably get rid of the lean "gargle" as a side effect also, leaving just a perfectly smooth exhaust note. I have a '23 Husky 701 Enduro, alas that bike's ECU is not flashable so you have to go with a Power Commander. I added a Yosh can and it sounded much better and ran a bit better but to be honest it was weak on the bottom for a massive thumper. I then added Rottweiler mapped PC6 and O2 sensor dongle, and the Kraken was freakin' unleashed. Top end was always strong and it is perhaps a little better, but the real story is the dramatic gains in low end and midrange at part throttle where the bike is actually ridden. Instead of feeling mushy, it is now on it's toes and snaps to it when the throttle is turned, even by a small amount. Jab it and ya better be hanging on - keeping my license might be a wheelie big problem 😆 The 690 platform bikes are known to be choked up badly. They make impressive full throttle peak power numbers, but they are a bit weak under the curve at lower RPM. I wager the Transalp isn't as bad, but no doubt tuning it still has good value. My other bike is a '14 Super Tenere with a Yosh can, flashed the ECU on that and it picked up some nice gains in the low end and midrange after flashing it. Surprisingly my overall fuel economy got better, probably because it needs less throttle to cruise on the highway. I mention all this to support the value of tuning these new bikes. Just do it...

[@brucekendall52]

Good move.Thks.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

That black Alp but with the "gold" rims would be perfect. I wonder if that new slipon will interfear with side bags

[@exothermal.sprocket]

That fluttering chirping noise at the tail pipe, that is the baffle stuffed into the end of it. It's an audio effect as the pressure zips around that tip. You'll have to drill that rivet and remove that tip if you don't want that metallic flutter noise on top of the booming sound. It's why I normally hate baffle inserts because of how much they change the tone of a nice muffler.

[@donbraham411]

Nice 👍

[@oscartaylor4063]

Not bad at all but probably not for me. Two up would probably not work very well. For now i my mind I think I will keep the stock pipe. Water crossings are not high on the list for change, nor a deeper sound as the original is surprisingly nice. Good work and thanks for sharing.

Cannot help but think of the doomed Titan submersible whenever carbon fiber is mentioned. 🤔

[@RealHooksy]

The weight savings would be my motivation for any exhaust change. I don’t get the argument about reducing width, given you can get your panniers tighter with it down lower. Maybe it’s going to catch on some rocks, but other than that I don’t see the issue with it lower. Just my thoughts. Ride well 😎

[@adventureundone]

yeah, of course it all depends on rider and rides. I have been in a few tight spots and water crossing where the high exhaust is a big benefit.

[@BishBosh2010]

Might the height of the new exhaust compromise the use of soft luggage??

No prob man, here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Tcq6J9aNKVrrssi=RXqDWek565W3GSUS

[@cliftonsr]

I wonder what the European specked Transalp XL750R differences are to get the 91hp performance engine, maybe just mapping and a different baffled muffler and less restricted catalyst exhaust system? I would love to get to know the in depth secrets that's held back from us here in the US.

[@Alexanderpaal67]

Infact its close to 92hp

[@danman5857]

also, wonder why the Transalp has ~91 hp with 750 cc and the AT with 1100 only has ~100 hp. I wish the hp # was higher. Must be due to a variety of specs in the engine and electronics.

[@human1513]

Great video. I like the idle speed gurgle. Nice look & color. So it is about 1.5 lbs lighter than the stock which is not anything. But revved up it will always sound like a parrallel twin and there is no way to improve that. I would not be serious off roading this bike if I finally decide to get one. That will be for my KTM 300 XC enduro. As such a higher exhaust will only get in the way of luggage and is an expense I would pass on.

Remove the baffle and that strange noise will disappear. It's the exhaust pulses hitting the removable baffle that's creating that unpleasant sound. You'll also reduce exhaust temps and improve exhaust life by removing the baffle.

I don't accept exhaust noise as an adventure bike necessity. Noise is counter intuitive when you're off roading near wildlife. I thought exhaust noise was a Harley or urban bike thing to attract attention. Oh, studies have shown that motorcycle exhaust noise does nothing for safety, unless your neighbors get tired of damn noise. i do agree with raising the muffler for stream and creek crossing but again, it all about looks and noise.

As Honda thought so poorly about the oil sump low ground height it's truly just a highway poser. Add a guard and you have less than 8" clearance.

adventure riding is a marketing term.those bikes called on/off and the only thing is capable for off road riding is to go throu eady dirt and gravel roads.if you want to do hard enduro go and buy an enduro or a dirt bike.you are also lucky,there in america, to still have xr650 and dr650,and dr400.

[@randycallow3736]

Like others have said no spark arrestor, no go. And the biggest issue w all these bikes but especially the Transalp is that Honda did extensive market research and know who they are selling to and trying to sell to and the bike is a reflection of real life..does an off road bike need cruise control? No.. does it need 3/4 of the features on the Transalp? No. Is the Tenere 700 getting beat up in reviews for things it does off road? No. But on road!! For sure.. so Honda knows that these bikes are going to be 90-10.. and the 10% off road will be non technical dirt roads.. middle aged men are not going in single track and Baja conditions and all the pretend is fine for marketing but it's make believe.. and moving the exhaust up near your wife's body and hands is a bad idea, raising the exhaust up near your groceries, work clothes or softball shoes and gloves.. again bad idea. It's ok if you are going to ride off road, without luggage, more aggressive.. but to make a bunch of modifications for off road looks and function when you are going to be on the road 90+%of the time is silly and counterproductive. Honda had that pipe in 8-10 places during design phase and it's there for a reason.. and your passenger, luggage know why
