Great thanks for posting that..

Hi All,
I'm now the proud owner of a TRS Gold 250 and as such I'm getting acquainted with the bike as this is my first TRS.
Been looking to clean the airfilter and I've removed the three screws on the rear mudguard but I cant see how to get the airfilter out?
Am I missing something does the airbox need to be removed?
Thanks in advance
Guy

I've just changed mine on a 315 which is a similiar set up I believe. I used a socket set with an allen key to get the allen bolt out (number 17 in the diagram above) a regular allen key just bent it was that tightly wedged in..
-
I dont think you will loose much on that bike if you go ahead with the purchase. The 2004 was the last of the 315's so the best to get, Doesnt look
like that one has done a great deal as the rainbow coating on the forks is still in place/.
-
You may have a 348 cover on your bike that has been cut down as they are the same dimensions...
-
yes have a look here

An oko 24/26mm will be a great upgarde after the standard Amal, will transform starting and throttle response.
-
Yes thats the later 200 C model that came out in 1982
-
if its got the case protectors/winglets on the frame and later style front brake hubs, it will be 82 onwards.
-
You can get a TRS or Gas Gas brake hose guide (of Ebay) that will clip on the fork above the lower triple clamp, then tighten it in the desired position.
-
200's are great bikes, you will find it a lot more agile than your 248..
Kick start gear are more of an issue on 242s, I believe you can get replacement gears from inmotion
-
I would think thats about right I run my 348 on 50:1 semi-synthetic
-
I'd start of at Surrender then drive round to Grand Canyon (though a bit of a walk to this section)
Then a spot of lunch then off to Bridge End (which is near the road) then start/finish field
-
Hi,
I would think so as its based on a TY that came from Japan.. they are relatively straightforward to get (The Nova not the Majesty!)
-
I've had a 348 for a couple of years and once set up they are great bike to ride. turns well for a twin shock.
Dont think it will be heavier than a 247 but defo more torque
You can have them mild or wild depending on how you set up the ignition...
-
All looks in place to me, I'd check selector mechanism first by loosing the three screws and the bolt on the right hand side.
You can check the gears are ok by turning over the engine and putting a spanner on the square shaft in the middle of the star wheel.
-
The first 200's came out in 81 the later 200 'c' model came out in 82. You can tell if you have a later bike as it had loops welded on to the frame to protect the engine cases and the tank seat unit was sighlt different over the top shock mount plus it had the later front hubs and mk2 amal..
Hope that helps..

Hi Crankcase,
if you are just starting out Lothian Trials club run good beginner trials one on this Sunday at Aikeyside near Gifford.
There's also Glenlomond trials club who have a practice ground in Perth and Kinross.
East neuk Wobblers run lots of trials and are very active, maybe ping them via facebook
hope that helps
-
I'd get genuine Honda ones slightly cheaper than SKF and good quality
-
I'd second that 80:1 is about right ...
Interested to hear what you think of your 315 after actually riding one?
-
A couple of years ago I would have said dont bother as OEM parts were becoming scarce, nowadays you can get piston kits, rings, cranks etc and reproduction mudguards. Suspension on the later models is the same as 4rt. As said already most of wear items are readily available linkage bearings etc..
-
Hi NFC,
Unfortunately I think you will have to split the cases as the kickstart shaft is held in place by a circlip on the other side of
the case and this looks to have dislodged. The kickstart shaft locates in a bronze bush in the other case and this can wear (as mine had) which may have contributed to the shaft dislodging.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Hi
I don't know a great deal about 172's but on my 348 the biggest bang for buck in terms of upgrades were:
1, Put modern roller type bearings in the headstock
2, Get a modern carb an OKO 24/26 will make starting and throttle response a lot better than the old amal that is probably
worn out
3, You can get oversize green grip brake shoes that counter the hubs been worn from 40 years of riding
hope that helps and not to expensive !!
-
Got a nice letter back from the DVLA... unfortunately they have no details on there records for my bike.
Will have to go through the long winded registration process if I want to confirm the manuals 68 mph top speed!!
-
If you contact Honda I believe they will be able to give you one
cheers
