Don't forget there could be some gas in there.

Ask Edward Woodward he wood know

I spent a month working in Zhengzhou in 2018 & 1 thing i noticed was NO petrol Motorcycles / scooters, i was told it was illegal to have a petrol motorcycle in the area & a lot of China. Maybe they will bring out an electric 1 soon also ?

I used a dremal & cut the bush in half, only problem was the 1 i bought that was supposed to fit my 250 was a bit big & i had to take a bit off it. Are yours 35mm forks or smaller ?

Depends what you want mate, the engine is pretty much the same as early XL's & i would think brakes forks etc would also be on other Honda models ? I know my tlr is newer than a tl, but the only things i can't get original is pistons & mudguards

I remember when i got my Bultaco, bought new plug gaped it to specks didn't even look like starting, went around to see a mate who raced go carts with Bulty motors in them. He said half the plug gap because the electrics don't throw a strong spark, started 2 kick

I have had all my pipe covered with HPC coating, they clean out the inside of the pipe because there coating goes inside & outside the pipe. I find the pipe stays reasonably & it is easier to clean !

I've replaced the hoses on my Sherco & KTM trail bike with silicone hoses no problems, just check the hose clamps for the first month or so, i bought some off as3performance @ a very good price !

I bought a pair of Hebos before the start of a 2 day trial, i was very disappointed when 1 had split stitching down the side seam i was looking for some MTB gloves & bought some TLD down hill gloves I usually do a 50klm + trail ride a week on my Sherco 300i or KTM 400 & the TLD MTB gloves are great, i have about 5 different pairs that i rotate, they even have a glove with wetsuit material in it for wet/cold rides, so i wear these gloves on my Honda tlr 250 the trail bikes & also my MTB I think the quality of TLD is top notch, to the point if i'm buying something i look @ TLD stuff first, i have TLD armour, helmet, wrist brake, elbow guards & some clothing

Mate just bought a Montesa because he has dodgy knees, i brought it around for me to have a ride of because i have a dodgy left knee The Monty is a right side kick start which is good for me,he said to me don't try & kick it just get it to tdc then push lever through, i couldn't believe how easy it started !

You don't have to all start @ section 1 or 2, most times over here some riders start @ section 3 or 4, some even go straight to section 8

That looks like a AJG swingarm from Berrry of the Netherlands ? i've got 1 on my Honda TLR 250

The holes are so some lubricant can get on the port bridge & stop it from seizing, some bikes had this standard

It's the top that threads into forks that the had seized, i have been able to get it out, but the centre is a bit deformed which means i can't use the first 10mm of preload, but i seem to need more than that anyway It looks like the Yamaha majesty link is working, so i'll go through them, thanks for your help Fellas !

G'day i've been trying to get intouch with The magicals webb sites, the UK 1 says it's been stopped & the European 1 won't let me send an inquiry ? 1 of my preloads has seized in the fork & i will have to damage it to get it out so i need a new 1 Thanks for any help !

I bought an aluminium swingarm of Berry & it's of a high quality, 1 thing that i thought was a PITA was the sidestand is on the right hand side ? Think i remember him putting up, if there would be any interest if he made aluminium frames for TLR 250 ?

I'm thinking it could be a combination of things like lineway has suggested ?

Gee i used ATF in 125 mx's for 20yrs not a problem!

Being in Aus i buy a lot of pieces off them for my 2 Honda tlr 250s throttle assemblies etc,brake levers etc, they always get here quicker than i expect! I checked my account the other day & i received a refund for no VAT required, got to love this;)

I've got a Classictrials petrol tank i'm going to install & i need to remove the 2 locating lugs for the tank, do i just grind them off or is there another way of doing it?

Definitely says 250 +.05mm! i don't think i've seen him sell 200 pistons, i was about to buy a standard piston but they seemed to sell out pretty quickly:(

I got High performance coatings in Leongatha to put there blue coating on which builds up the piston a bit, i vaguely remember someone saying that there is a Honda waterpump motor piston that works?

He's only got 0.5mm oversize, which everybody told me would make the liner too thin! i ended up getting mine coated & it's quiet as a mouse now

Barnett Kevlar clutch plates are the best!

I love those Petrol tanks!
