thats the day i got it...and 3 other rare honda trials bikes. im so glad that i didnt sell the one i have now, i think one of your buddies tried to trade me an OSSA for it... once i figured out the power band, modified the pegs, and worked over the forks..she really came alive, i know of another TLR thats not super clean, but fixable. in this group of bikes, i also picked up a high boy framed TL250, it went to the UK, had to sell some of those rare steeds to cover some things, that came up and changed my life.

have some pics of your bike the day i saved it from deap dusty storage, iv got some cool rare bikes from the guy over the years, 80 year old duffer, that likes trials bikes..

has the boxed frame...and is painted.. this bike is hands down a better bike then the 2011 and earlier 4Ts...the T pipe is worth the extra money.. i did some other small mods, carb spring. and heavy springs...its only got about 10 hours on it right now, the more i ride it, the better it gets.. power house for sure. My 290 2T was a great bike, but this is a sexy beast for sure.. have one Trial on it..and didnt ride it hard, new bike learning curv for sure. so scared to scratch it hard lol

i can tell you...all my 5s are earned lol...some 3s come even harder... takes much more energy to 5 a section...then it does to clean one.

i know of 6 here in Colorado, i had 2 but sold one a few years ago, and ride the one i have with ITSA and the NATC twin shock line. Bill Burgner told me he and his dad sold at least 30 of them, and others did the same.

my 2013 EVO 3004T, with a 2 T rear fender, the 2T fender makes it easier to clean the air filter, the 4Ts still use the old rear fender, you have to drill one hole at the tip if the fender, thats the only mod... you have to order the fender and air box cover..

i have a 91 ALP, and a TR34, bikes are pretty close, different shock and forks, i have updated the 34 to the newer shock and upsidedown forks. works very well, i parted out a SYNT, so i had the nice stuff off that bike. the 34 uses a motosplat, and the ALP has Ducati electrics..

pilot bearings for some cars or trucks..are the same type, you just have to get the dems.

section was set so, you had to do a floater in over an off camber rock, everyone put a foot down, i figured, ill clean it or crash it...i didnt clean it.. the pro riders were just ahead of me, so a nice crowd of lookers...at least they clapped..

i have the 2T thats shareable, not sure i can load and share the one i got with my new 4T..ill look later today and see.

sorry for the confusion...seems TC and FB arent mixing well...great pics though... love being the NATC photo bomber...glad they didnt get my wheels up crash.

msr easy pull levers work wonders.

ahhhhh,,, my bad, i was thinking...HRC...twin shocker...lol..have no experiance on the one pictured.

id bet my TLR 250 against that Cota any day of the week.. seems the TLR 250 took a few world championships...what was that guys name???? Eddy something..? lousy trail bike, by the way...top speed down hill 6th gear might be 40 miles an hour. some Reflex parts will interchange, bearings, ect..most parts are TLR250 only, and hard to get, some aftermarket parts are available. they are rare in the U.S. and not common else were... the TLR 200 Reflex is nothing close to a TLR 250 R.. did i miss something? why would anyone ruin a rare bike, by trying to convert it to mono shock... buy a RTL, and sell the TLR to me...

without a thermostat, youll always have puking issues. as the heat and fan are not regulated. with the fan running all the time. eventually it will eat the fan motor, and put a larger draw on the stator, and likely burn up your stator... anyone whos rode a beta knows, when the fan kicks on,.you can feel a slight draw on the bike. as iv said.. fix it right, and it will give you lots of fun and enjoyment, half ars it, and youll be a unhappy camper

heres the RMTA events for 2013...hope to see some new riders. http://www.rockymountaintrials.org/schedule.html

pat and phil. Cody webb, Karl Davis, the blonde haired guy with the pony tail taking pictures is my good friend Ron Gardner. first rider in your second video is Shad Peterson {WY} minding for him, is Bill Haskle, owner of balance trials supply, then Keith Wineland, with Dusty Headwall minding thats the loaves of bread at the Tucker ranch, awesome section, over the other side, we run them up, and then all the way back straight down..and then up that gully..real tough, even the best struggle with it,,imagine if it were no stop.. great post my friend..hope to see you riding the summer. tune up trials this Sunday

the one i installed has the lever on the top of the cover, direct bolt on, i have removed the pump assembly, and had a block off plate installed.

Elf makes a real good oil...

on the main dog bone that faces the rear tire, i drill and tap, and add a grease zirk, in the middle between the bearings, use an angled zirk. moose racing offers a good bearing kit for half the money.

stop and fix the fan issue. dont use ATF...maxima MTL 85 works wonderful with Beta clutches, you may have to take the clutch down and clean it, debur it as well if ATF has been used for a long time...maybe think of new clutch plates. ATF swells the discs and ruins the clutch. and doesnt lube for beans. the fan issue is likely the condenser, its located inside the frame, behind the steering head, remove the small plastic plugs on the side of the frame, ahead of the tank..youll be hating life getting it out, replacement part will cost about 50.00 if you email me direct at molinenorski@msn.com ill email you a download of the Techno shop manual. before you ride the bike like a bandit...stop and grease the wheel bearings and shock linkage..both are weak points of the bike. forks should be drained, flushed, and refilled as well with good 5wt fork oil, i use Bel Ray..it doesnt foam up and break down like others... likely your water pump seal is bad, replace it and the bearings..total cost is less then 10.00 , flush out the coolent and use good motorcycle grade coolent..waterweter is a good ad, and keeps a trials bike nice and cool.

welcome...hook up with your local trials club, ride with others at your skill level, take it easy, and enjoy the ride. youll make many new friends, and love the sport..

i noticed the fat guy springs on that TY80.. im versed pretty well in that gesture..im told i have to ride old guy ADV this year..gonna be hard to beat some of those old grey bearded fellows..even with a brand new Evo 4T.

unfortunatly, i wont be at the world round this year, i even had a free ride offered, and a bike, and a place to stay,. and so on. i have a full plate with setting trials, and getting my ride ready for the Nationals, im planning on the TS line this year again..maybe i can swap out that #5 plate for a #1 plate.. im the anti drama sort, and avoid it..as i dont deal with it very well lol. i can relate, Keith Wineland hopped around on the back wheel on my late wifes KT 250..the look on her face was priceless, when they say you cant hop and stop on a twin shock...i say..BS..iv seen it done.. honestly. i dont think this rule will stay, and wont come to the NATC..it hasnt even started yet, and already people are standing on the soap box, thumping chests..

lots of beer cans were harmed during the TY80 event... ill let you play on my TLR 250...then youll understand the difference from a reflex and TLR250. how does that finga score??is that a juan? or a Tree?
