You would be better off trying to fix your airbox, the bike will run better

Monty is right about your original air box. The basic K&N filter is for a very dry climate (it will suck water) and you can not beat the proper air flow of the stock box. The funny thing is that K&N bought the concept from the inventer who was a male nurse who just had the idea of surgical gauze between a metal screen. The original filters were made in the back room of one of the oldest yamaha shops in the usa.

There are two used TRL200 air boxes on Ebay USA right now. One for $37 and the other for $49. Will these work on your TLM 200 I wonder? The one for $49 looks to be the better deal condition-wise. He says he ships worldwide.

Just do what I do. Search the parts list at any online Honda dealer to see if they match.

Try this one unless you have a favorite...

Sorry. I assumed they were similar bikes.
