Honda Tlr200 Reflex
pull the snorkel,i will look in my notes in my jetting,but if your having trouble from 1/2 throttle go 1 up on the main

Honda Tlr 200 E
the stock muffler in my opinion is not worth replacing because the funny looking contraption in front of the rear wheel is full of 20 years worth of power reducing crap,so you might as well do it right and replace the whole thing,the dep pipe is the best,because the power robbing pinch around the shock was eliminated,i vowed for the wes pipe because of cost that woke the bike up big time check out b&j racing.com its in the states though?

Honda Tlr200 Reflex
ok now what if you slightly moved the top shock mounts towards the tank and down a tad which would raise the rear end up and match the arc of the swing arm???the wes pipe mod is probably the best mod so far along with the xr carb really woke it up,im also in the front disk brake mode as well i cant part with this little gem their bitchen,i dont compete with it i prefer moderns but its fun

Honda Tlr200 Reflex
restoring a reflex and im almost done,put a honda xr100 carb on it, wes pipe ,alum wheels,fiberglass tank seat combo,does anyone or has anyone messed around with the steering geometry on these bikes it steers like a pig,also finding shocks with a 17 1/2 eye to eye center is another issue,also put on a hand compression release to eliminate breaking the hard to find kickstart levers,any tips on these babies would be cool
