development XL600V H and V J Transalp 1987 and 1988 model years The first Transalp was the XL600V H introduced in 1987 The Transalp has a 52 V twin cylinder engine with chain drive to its single overhead camshafts which operate the two inlet and one exhaust valve per cylinder The clutch is a conventional wet multi plate unit and the gearbox is 5 speed Drive from the gearbox output shaft is transmitted to the rear wheel by chain and sprockets The cylinder heads have twin spark plugs The engine is mounted in a box section steel cradle frame Suspension is provided by conventional oil damped telescopic forks at the front and a box section aluminium swingarm acting on a single shock absorber via a three way linkage at the rear The shock absorber is adjustable for spring pre load Braking is by a single disc and twin piston sliding caliper at the front and by a drum brake at the rear The XL600V H was available in white and metallic blue The XL600V J model for 1988 was un changed though was also available in beige XL600V K Transalp 1989 model year Apart from a new instrument cluster modifications to the rear suspension linkage and the inclusion of a sidestand switch in the starter safety circuit the XL600V K was unchanged from the H and J models Available in red and two shades of blue The V K model remained on sale in the UK through to 1990 An XL600V L model was available in Germany for the 1990 model year but was basically unchanged from the V K model can be saved by avoiding the expense the shop must pass on to you to cover its labour and overhead costs An added benefit is the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that you feel after doing the job yourself References to the left or right side of the motorcycle assume you are sitting on the seat facing forward The aim of this manual is to help you get the best value from your motorcycle It can do so in several ways It can help you decide what work must be done even if you choose to have it done by a dealer it provides information and procedures for routine maintenance and servicing and it offers diagnostic and repair procedures to follow when trouble occurs We hope you use the manual to tackle the work yourself For many simpler jobs doing it yourself may be quicker than arranging an appointment to get the motorcycle into a dealer and making the trips to leave it and pick it up More importantly a lot of money We take great pride in the accuracy of information given in this manual but motorcycle manufacturers make alterations and design changes during the production run of a particular motorcycle of which they do not inform us No liability can be accepted by the authors or publishers for loss damage or injury caused by any errors in or omissions from the information given XL600V M Transalp 1991 model year XL600V V Transalp 1997 model year The external oil pipe on the engine was removed with the oil feed to the head now being housed internally The front brake caliper was changed though it remains a twin piston sliding type made by Nissin The hose arrangement to the caliper was also modified At the rear the drum brake was replaced by an hydraulic system using a single piston sliding caliper and the wheel was therefore changed to accommodate a disc instead of a drum Available in blue green and silver XL600V N and P 1992 and 1993 models were basically unchanged mechanically but were available in green blue and maroon The front brake system was completely changed with a twin disc system replacing the single disc Brembo calipers replace the Nissin
