Subject: More Power to your Africa Twin?


Hi,

I answered to an advertising of Africa Queens Enduro Parts in
D-85293 Reichertshausen (Tel/Fax 08441/18442). They sent me a two sheet-
sized catalogue full with totally illegal, very expensive and very 
interesting parts (big 41l tanks, rear tanks, gps navigation equipment, 
road masters, chassis tuning kits etc.) and an advertising of Honda-STF in 
Austria, A-2385 Breitenfurt, Tel.+43-2239-3340, Fax -4145. These guys offer 
two different versions of power enhancement kits for the Africa Twin.

The first kit will change the Airbox and the carburator (Vergaser) and 
includes a very loud poser exhaust backpipe (Schalldaempfer) with 98 dB. It 
should provide 53-58 HP (PS) measured at the back wheel. (1850.-DM)

The second kit contains the first and additionally modifies the valve-
crankshaft (Nockenwelle) and the sealing kit of the whole motor will be 
changed and the motor afterwards be tuned on the power measuring place 
(Leistungspruefstand). This kit should provide 65-70 HP (PS) measured at the 
back wheel. (4490.-DM).

Both kits have absolutely no warranty included, even not for any 
enhancement of the power of the motor. All changes are totally illegal and 
will never be accepted by any checking authorities (TUEV). Mounting and 
dismounting of the engine and transport of the bike is not included.

I can only say: If someone accepts these conditions, he's mad. ;-)

take care - Marcello (rrr#52, ATIC#9, 13,486% Squid, KotFBL - Africa Twin)
