Twinshock

Hi I am going to try threebond in place of the paper gasket on my TLR200 clutch case - I have good reason. But the instructions are apply and assemble in 1 minute and that is about it. I have used loctite products before and with them you assemble but don't tighten until 24 hours - but the threebond tells me nothing - I have googled and got no further so: do I assemble and fully torque the bolts how long before I can fill her with oil and start Thanks in advance

Both the TY and Cota throttle cables are a little shorter than optimal (ie. route them tidily and you get some revs at right lock - is there anywhere I can shop for cables by length? Or am I stuck using a universal cable kit? IIRC the TY250 throttle cable is longer than the 175, but I don't know be how much - it only needs one more inch

Can some one tell me who it was making the Thump twin shock frames? Was it J.Reilly?

Just curious about a term that is used by my trials brothers across the pond.What is a "tick over"? I,m guessing maybe a compression relief.Sorry if it,s a daft question and thanks in advance for an answer.

Hi guys From what I can see many twin shock bikes came with tiller style yokes as standard and most modern bikes do not. It also seems quite popular to either mod or change the top yoke to get rid of the tiller system. So what was the original thinking behind them and what has changed now that makes them a bad idea ?

What kind of tire pressures are y'all running in tube tires. Anybody feel the need for more than one rim lock?

Hi Folks, Just wondering what everyone is running for tires on their vintage trials bikes. I'm using Dunlops, but was wondering if there is a proper vintage tire out there.

What would be the best bang for the buck? I have a ty250A It has about 40% Michelin x11 trials tires and stock shocks. Would I be better off with new Betors or comparable shocks or a new set of sticky Michelins or IRC'S.I ride mostly rock.

Over the past few months I've dropped an XL185 motor in aTL125. Seemed fine on the first test run. Not so happy first and second gear don't always seem to engage when the engine is running,seems to engage but when the clutch is let out nothing - no drive? Third gear is fine and the engine seem to pull very well. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

Well, against many peoples advise that I respect I bought the little TL-125 down the street. I just couldn't help it. This was more of an emotional purchase than a logical one...... I'll probably end up with a twin shock bike that will actually haul my weight at some point but this is fun for now!!! Anyway, I always wanted one of these as a kid and always loved the way they looked. The only problem is, just like everyone warned me, this thing has no power. I think an OSET has more power than this....... Soooooo, all you TL and twin shock experts......HELP!!!!! The good: 1. Frame intact and not too beat up looking. 2. Tank OK, I have a friend who can paint the tank …

Hi all out there,just wondered if anybody knows any info on dating my honda seeley tl200.It is a bit of a mystery what year it is ,and what exactly is the model,i assume it is a tl200,as engine says RS200,and it looks like an early frame.But frame no is in the 1100 area,ie sht1100,so if anybody knows of a web site or book that can help i would be very grateful,keep ridin,revandgo. :

I bought this bike for probably below market price, but am wondering about insurance cover. I hear some sell for more than

seen a few real nice tlr 200s for sale. would appreciate your veiws on buying one thanks,

hi recently got a tlr 200 twinshock and the clutch is realy snatchy any tips on solving the problem all ideas welcome,thanks in advance

I was riding my TLR 200 over a practice stage today for about an hour and everything was running fine as normal - although at the beginning of my ride the clutch felt to be slightly slipping and so I backed off the cable adjustment and all was good. Eventually I stopped for a rest - maybe 10 minutes and when I went back she started first kick as usual but a terrible rattle coming from the clutch side - sounding like around the starter area but not sure. I immediately switched off and trailered the bike home and removed the clutch cover - this is what I found however I can't see where the problems is. The engine turns over smoothly by hand - can anyone throw me an ide…

Hi guys so far I used a lot of momentum and a CRF250 now I got myself a TLR200 Reflex '87 everything works not great, more redneck-mint, but the bike is ridable the engine seems healty, starts at 1st kick and puills strong but the stoppers sorry, I am used to some 'negative acceleration' when I pull the lever here I hear a 'clunk' but there is no real slowing down the rear end does not work much better I had both ends apart, the brake shoes looked to be in good condition, so I roughened the surface a little, cleaned the drums, lubed the pin, adjusted the cable/rod but did not achieve much improvement is there a trick to turn drum brakes into actual stoppers …

Are they any good?

Hi i wonder if anyone on here could tell me the the measurements of the holes of the above fork braces, my measurements are 120mm by 64mm it would be much appreciated.

I have made a mess of my 82 TLR200 front guard - are there other more common bikes with guards that will fit this or do I need to find a reproduction

Apologies in advance I did post this in the Honda forum but I was hoping for more response before I pull the engine out and split cases - has anyone experienced this with their TLR "quite suddenly my TLR200 can only select first & second gears. It simply refuses to select third the gear shift will not move up" ie: it moves up and down as normal between 1st and second but refuses to move up into third
