1. Caution!Cylinder head gasket has blown through after 5,000 km (3100 mls)! I recommend using genuine Honda part.
2. Gave them back, too. The springs were such strong, I could hardly draw the clutch lever. After all, my name is Deti, not Arnold! BTW: Genuine parts are not more expensive!
3. You'll need two sets of them, i.e. DEM 60.- together. Not recommendable, under heavy demand (while being offroad f.e.) they tend to skid. A pretty good alternative to the one-ton-of-money genuine parts (> DEM 170.00) are Lukas disks, purchaseble for DEM 99.00 f.e. at Detlev Louis'.
4. I always took the genuine part (is for ~ DEM 44.00). K&N offers a reuseable air filter, and it works great!
5. In case someone shouldn't know: you need 4 of them!
6. I recommend using genuine Honda pads. Hands off of these Dunlopads! I noticed extensive fading and rotor wear out when using them. I don't know anything about the Kevlar pads, so if you have any experiences with these things, please send me an eMail! Currently, I'm using Lukas pads, by recommendation of my Honda dealer (DEM 45.-). Until now they are working pretty well, I'll report my experiences.
7. If 128 links is the correct info, then attention! Since the TA needs 118 links (120 since model year '94), the chain must be shortened. For that you'll need a special and suitable tool!
8. Before you gonna purchase these things - you know, that you can dismount these rubber pads, getting pretty good offroad pegs then?
