Hey there! I had to change the Conrod Kit on my TLM 250´88 recently. As always there were no parts listed anywhere for this model! After disassembling the crankshaft i found out that there is a conrod kit made for Honda NSR 150. Available through different manufacturers like TKRJ, Royal and some others. This Kit has the same length and uses a 24mm conrod pin also. Only the conrod pin is to short for the TLM. So i had to order a TLM 220 pin from cmsl.nl. All these parts were delivered in about a week and looked exactly the same as the original. I believe all TLM models have the same stroke, so i think these parts might fit all models. Please c…

Hello everyone, looking for help with my 150cc upgrade kit. its all assembled with the new piston and barrel but the original cam chain is now too short. I measured the height of the new barrel and it’s slightly taller than the original 125 one hence the old cam chain just fits but is way too tight even in its most loose setting on the tensioner. The kit is Berlit. so I guess I need an extra link or two longer can chain? where to find one? has anyone else experienced this problem? any help or advice gratefully received, kind regards, Andy

I have a 1987 TLR200 with shifting problems. When you tap the shifter into first gear the shift arm will drop 90 degrees down from its neutral position. Think of the shift lever pointing at the ground. And you can tell the linkage is out of whack. You then have to manually return the shift lever to the horizontal position. It shifts fine from neutral to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on. Any thoughts on the problem? I’ve read that I could ditch the linkage and connect the shifter directly to the transmission shaft. Not sure if that would fix issue or not yet. Thanks

Hey all, new to the forum, I recently traded a restored xr500r for a 1986 Honda reflex (plus a pit bike). I’m currently going through the lighting right now to get it street legal again. I’ve run into a broken headlight and speedo/idiot light cluster. I’ve sourced the speedo gauges on eBay, but I was possibly hoping to switch headlight to LED. Has anyone done this before? If so, what size light would it be? I measured my headlight at about 5.25in in diameter, but I can only seem to find 5.75in headlight assemblies.

Hi Need new steering head bearings for my TLR200 are they standard ie: can you tell me the specs or do I need to buy them as a TLR set. Cheers

Thinking of replacing rear shocks on my TLR 200, currently has aluminium betors 395mm. Length seems fine but I’ve had Falcons and NJB ultimates on Fantic and really liked the NJBs Just wondering if anyone has the Falcon long bodied ones they make for the TLR or rockshocks fitted to give opinion on those thanks

Hi, I’ve just bought a Honda TL 125 1975 that looks good from a photo and at a distance but not so good close up! i plan to make it road legal. would appreciate a contact number of a company or person who could do this for me. Thats getting a number plate and V5 etc as it has no papers. i’m fitting a 150cc big bore kit soon, so can anyone recommend a suitable carburettor and appropriate jets? (Bearing in mind that it’s for on/off road use) last thing is I’d really love an aluminium tank. I’ve seen photos of Honda tl 125’s with them but haven’t seen any for sale. i know the 250 has an alloy tank. Does it fit? any help gratefully appreciated.

1975 Honda TL250 - Where is the best place/manual to find engine torques for engine reassembly? The manual I have is not that specific. The "bolt" torque (e.g., 10mm) is given, but torque by location would be more useful. (Like cylinder-head-to-crankcase bolts). Although, I can get by with the manual I have. Thanks.

Hi I wonder if anyone can help ID this machine. It arrived with me yesterday via a friend who suggested it is reputed to be an ex Baker machine. It certainly has the big (ugly) silencer, OKO carb, front disc which I suspect belongs with the forks. It has a correct TLR engine number MD09 etc. It was suggested it may have been white but I can see no evidence of this where the frame has rubbed. Although I guess a good strip and repaint would not show. Head stock angle changed and foot pegs moved. If anyone recognises it I'd be obliged. Many thanks, Andy.

Hi folks, tubes are toast, so did a search for suppliers for new, not many out there but found some at a good price at IN MOTION in UK. Anybody tied them?, I see they do Bulto and KT's too. I'm in NZ.

Hi - I have had some difficulty dating my TLR, I believe it is quite an early model, grey import from Japan to Oz. Engine MD09E 1005839. I decided to replace timing chain and guides ....no problems with the chain but the guides (Chinese off ebay) I have appear to be too short. They have correct numbers ie: Replaces OEM Part Number: 14500-427-000 (Tensionser), 14550-427-000 (Guide) But front guide only just sits in position and rear there is no way I can install top bolt .....at least 5mm short. Do these stretch. Pics below show old guides v new guides. Base and head gasket are correct thickness. Do you think they are just too short or am I missing somethin…

Hi Guys Where i can get Honda TL125 Rotten Tank to attempt to make copy of it. i own TL125 for short time. mostly parked in friend shed . since no shed of my own. i think it was not alloy tank.. light sheet metal.. Thanks .. Kind Regards

Good evening... Looking for help and any information/pictures for the wiring loom connections for the above bike. I have a loom, switch gear and front and rear light clusters. The previous keeper has just left the kill switch and nothing else... thanks in advance Gary

Keep reading about an magazine article about modifying TL250 frame... cutting down tubes and changing rake... been googling to death the world wide web with no luck...does anyone have a jpg or have that info available to share? seems there is a lot of information for the TL125's but it seems like the TL250 is the ******* kid:-)

Good afternoon.... maybe the wrong place.....BUT... does anyone have a fuel system diagram or can point me to the web for the same.... TLR250-R 1986 Japanese model with the secondary fuel tank under the seat... I have fully cleaned, new filters, vacuum pump is priming but I’m not sure which route the fuel would go as I’ve now got an air lock and zero fuel in the float bowl... I have replaced the fuel pipes as they came off so perhaps the previous keeper has tried before help appreciated Gary

can anyone recommend mechanic in the stoke on trent area to help with my little honda tl125 running issue, its beating me at the moment.

Hello, I live in France and I am repairing a Honda TLM250R. I am looking for a PDF file of the workshop manual and the parts list for this bike. Thanks for your help.

just got hold of a honda tl125, but it does not run well, starts up without choke, but ticks over nicely from cold and revs well enough, but then once warm is all goes wrong, the idle revs increase when blipping the throttle, it starts to bog down and does not like being under load and then is hard to start, the plug is not sooty, initially i thought condenser so i have replaced this and the coil but its still does it, the points seem in good order and timing seems right. any help appreciated

I recently found a 75 TL 250 and bought from the first owner. After cleaning the ground connection from the coil, the bike fired right up. Now I'm replacing what's worn out. Surprisingly, the toughest thing for me to find has been the guides cables run through to keep them from snagging. It's the one in the lower left of the pic. Local shop say 1975? nope! Thanks Dave

I bought a new Seeley (the black mudguard version) sometime around 1980(?) and have been a fan of them ever since. Spotted a good 'un for sale out here in France a few years back but didn't buy it. However, for some strange reason, I kept some photos of the bike and browsed through them earlier today in one of my 'delete unwanted photos' sessions. I think I'll keep 'em. Would be interesting to see other members' Seeley photos as I think there were a few different versions over its limited production run. Or am I wrong as usual? Anyway, a couple of snaps...
