    You need to make sure what carb you run. We also need to know what elevation you ride at. Colorado`s a big state! Most likely it is a float level/idle speed problem.

    That is the correct answer coming from the guy with issues!

    I just got a TL 250 running this afternoon. Stock carb. Been sitting 4 years or more since it was last running. Just replaced all rubbers in carb and cleaned it. In 1982 I did a 300 kit and do not remember jetting being a problem. I also had the first TL 250 in our state as poor me was sponsored on one. But it was free.Good luck.

    You need new plates or you put it together wrong. Why did you take it apart?

    The fans had a short life span. Find a bike wrecker as most fans can be fit fairly easily on this model. Do yourself a favor and buy some trials bars.

    With the age of the bike you might consider changing the o rings in the top hat of the slave cylinder. They start leaking, it could cause several problems. By the way dex 3/mercon. Been using it in all my trials bikes for more than 30 years.

    It is hard to compare years after riding the 300 back to back with a 260 and then a 2006 with a 280 kit. The 300 is far better.

    Dot 4 in the brakes. Atf around 400 cc. I think that only the Raga went to mineral oil in the clutch in 04. The clutch cap should be green for mineral oil. Double check the year of the bike. It is usually hard to find nuetral while running.

    I try to keep my carb loading a constant level the day before. (18 beers or less.) Then start the morning with water, 2 cups of coffee and move up to at least 64 oz of pedialite and more water. More water and another 32 0z of pedialite during the event. The after event doping depends on injuries and pain.

    Looks like part of a bearing cage. Bite the bullet and split the cases.

    It is a very fine line in the measurement process with the sanding. I still have a couple dozen steel plates around so I rarely sand myself.

    The higher the fingers, the more leverage felt at the clutch lever. Too high of fingers they could rub on the case. Originally you could buy different thickness of steel plates. All good things go to sh-t so in todays world you have to sand the friction plates. (Or burn the clutch wildly against a wall) The 17.5 is straight down from the highest point of the fingers. That is what matters most! Sure you can measure the total thickness, but that what really matters is when it is all tightened up.

    The fingers have nothing to do with it besides a measurement.

    It uses mineral oil not dot4.

    Your changing the oil at three months?

    Make sure the choke jet (the one with the oring) is clear and that whole choke circuit is clear including the one in the float bowl.

    We use ATF because it hooks up better. And is also less grabby. Seems like everytime I sell a bike the NEW guy has to change to his brand of oil. And everytime they want you to ride it to see how well it works. I usually tell them how nice it feels, but you are not going to zap any ledge with that slow damn clutch.

    You have been able to order parts from any Honda dealer for three years.

    It is the finger height that matters. 17.5 to 18mm is the sweet spot. You can cheat and just burn the plates real hard in 4th gear or take the clutch apart to sand the friction plates.

    The carb is not venting. Did you put vent lines on the carb?

    Yes, trail riding you do not second guest what you can ride. You just go for it!
  24. lineaway
    Actually the question you asked and the correct answer is actually just backwards. The question has been the same for decades. Why when you are out trail riding obstacles obstacles are easier to ride? Once they are in a section that you have just walked the section, your mind tends to lock up.

    Red rubber grease, but on the AJP just brake fluid will due if you do not have other issues.
