Aircooled Monoshocks

I have a Delorto PHBH26 carb which I have had from new basicaly I am thinking of off loading it and do not want to mislead any one so am looking for some advice as to how good my memory is (and if the carb is of any use) I owned a 1984 250 mono (first ones out) For some reason at this time it was the thing to do to change the carb to make the bike run better I used it for a year then sold the bike but kept the carb Is my memory correct and is this a thing anyone else remembers. I can't even remember if it was significantly any better than standard any views ??

I'm going to start putting the hiro engine back together soon and was wondering if anyone had an engine manual????? it's from my garelli 323 made in 87' nearly the same as the armstrong 320 hiro motor. Help please...??

I have taken the engine out of my 87' Garelli 323 section today ready to do a freshen up its all original and has never been touched. I've taken the top end off and the piston is looking a bit ropey even though the bike ran fine!!! Anyone know where i can get a piston kit and engine gasket set for the Hiro engine????

Hi all this is my first post having just purchased a Honda TLM 200f 1987 Having got the machine home i checked the bike and found the air filter to be junk! Called BAT motorcycles who have parts lists for TLM's Ordered OE filter

Hi All. I have just bought one of these. Is there a difference between a TLM 200R and a TLM 200 (do they both exist?)?. The guy I bought it off ran it pre mix at 40:1. What is factory ratio? I run my other bikes at 50:1 - would the TLM be OK at this ratio? It would save me having two batches around. Are there any good websites for info on this bike? I'd like to find out about any potential problems/issues and any easy, cheap worthwhile mods. I'm used to a TY175 and this thing has enormous instant grunt compared to the Yam. Should be interesting. Should I have posted in the Honda section (it did seem to be all about TLR version in there)? Thanks in advance for any h…

It´s been a while since i was here! I just finished my rebuild of my new Honda Aircooled Mono TLM 250R (1988). A quite rare Bike and it seems to be underrated in my opinion. I was looking for an air-cooled mono and wanted to have a disk brake at least on the front. And i was in the mood for a japanese bike again. A few days before christmas i bought this bike in really bad condition. Parts are not easy to find, but when you get a little creative a lot is possible. I managed to find a wössner piston of a 250 Rotax that was available in 74,50 and 75,00 sizes. The main difference was the 18mm Piston Pin and a different shape to the dome. …

Picked up a 1986 Honda TLM200R to provide a back up to the TLR. The chassis appears good but the motor needs work. I have searched for a supplier of parts books but found nothing. Does anyone have a copy either as a file that can be emailed or a paper copy? Happy to pay for postage and copying costs. Regards, Peter.

Both front and rear wheels on this Mecatecno im working on have spacers inside the mag hub which hold the bearings apart when the wheel in tightened up. You know the sort , its quite common. The spacers slot inside of the bearings and stay in place that way , other wise they would rattle around inside the hub. The wheel spindle is 17mm thick. The spacers that slot into the bearings increase the internal bore diameter to 21-22mm. I need bearings with this internal bore i cant seem to find them anywhere are quite a bit of searching. My only other option is not to slot the spacers into the bearings.........but how do i keep them in place????. Any ideas Here's hoping ther…

I will be possibly looking at a fantic 403 monoshock aircooled drum brakes, as a beginner could I get through a few years of trials, and ridding with the locals and maybe at my first couple of events with this bike. Or is it hard to compete with the older bikes and a waste of time and money (tight) should I save for longer and get a newer bike or if it is in good shape go for it? Do any of you compete with your bikes and do OK? Dan

Hi, One of my friend is selling his JCM 323. Some supposed buyer from Great Britain and Ireland send him email. Are these bikes populars over the channel since it is not the case here in France ? Regards

Rescued a dumped JCM in poor condition and I thought I'd have a go at restoring it as in the main it's all there. Can't seem to find a lot of info on it though and my first problem is where will I get a flywheel puller for it? Thought my TY one would fit but it's a different thread. Any info on bike much appreciated. Cheers! Previous rescued & restored bikes to a useable condition and current projects.... TYZ.... Yamaha TY125 & TY250 (Pinky).... Suzuki Beamish RL250 (in pieces at the mo).... JCM (to be stripped)...

Hi everyone,Does anyone know where i can get front brake shoes for jcm leleu drums? Measure 120 x 20mm

Does anyone know how much and what grade of fork oil goes in the 89 240 Europa. They are 35mm Marzocchi so I presume they could be common to some other bikes of this era. Also I was told that removing one of the baffles from the main exhaust silencer was a good tuning mod,has anyone tried this?

Help! I bought a 240 JCM trials bike some time ago which appeared to work perfectly. However, I've since discovered that when the engine is hot, she's difficult, nay impossible, to start. Then when the engine cools down, she starts perfectly again. I suspect that it could be a problem with the little red box thing under the petrol tank which I think is something to do with electronic ignition perhaps??? I've thrashed her with a leafy branch, called her a few unprintable names and locked her away in solitary confinement for a few months but she still flatly refuses to behave. Any technical advice would be much appreciated. http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/b...nt…

sorry about all these questions but how much and what grade oil should go in the forks? cheers.

I have searched the forum but all posts relating to parts are years old, I have found Joel's site but it's in French. Before I embarass myself with emailing them, does anyone know if they reply in English. I'm mainly trying to track down a rear mudguard and perhaps a set of rings. I only have half of the Mudguard as it has been trimmed short but I could re build the missing part then prep it and take a mould so I can replicate some in grp but I would rather have a good plastic one also. I have googled till my fingeres are sore, I did find them on a french site but they are no longer in stock but they do have usefull other Jcm parts. Here's the link if it helps anyone e…

I've spotted this JCM for sale on Ebay and was considering bidding for it.It needs work , but at the right price ?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JCM-pre-Gas-Gas-350c...1QQcmdZViewItem Does anyone know any history on this company and these bikes and are there any spares floating around and if so where?. Thanks
