well folk's iv'e been sat back for a few days now reading all the reply's with interest, fair enough with low entry events there is not the number of family/friends to cover sections but one club that i belong to ran a 7 round summer easy/beginners series last year and i think had an average entry of 91 riders with one trial at 161 riders, down here most club events are between 40-80 and championship rounds are around 70-100+ riders so events are well supported but still struggle to cover sections. just to open another can of worms i think that no-stop events will help reduce the time length of a trial which means observers wont be stood out for so long which may encourage more people to pick up a board , i'm not knocking the clubman/expert riders doing all their hopping/balancing cos that's how sections are set out for them but as a novice rider i could sometimes ride a section twice in the time its takes them, no-stop keeps the trial moving (my opinion) keep the thread going it's interesting reading

hi all just wondering if other centres struggle with getting observers like down here in the south-west and have clubs got any incentives to get people to observe eg: free entries for riders who supply an observer, free meal vouchers etc etc.

heard today its a urine infection

yes you are right they do sound like the main bearings are noisy even when running, if you dont know parts like brakes,sprockets,fork seals are the same as the tlr 250

hi the tlm's no match against your 315 BUT for what they are they are a good bike, bit heavy but they are all steel, if the engine's good they have plenty of power. i have 3 2x 200 & a 220 here's a picture at least you can tell which model it is the yellow one is a 200 the other a 220 or have a look at http://www.honda-trials.com/_sgg/m1m7_1.htm http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af142/feetup0/ty-tlm009.jpg

this may help you http://www.honda-trials.com/_sgg/m7_1.htm

including buying it my tlr has cost me around

yep i agree fab weekend made even better by the weather, george did a great job at cove with some very tricky sections, roll on the dartmoor as for pic's www.southwestclassictrials.co.uk

hi gingertom price wise they dont seem to be making much more than

hi keychange i used a ty 250 mono front guard on mine just to be different from the normal universal guards,the rear is from a montesa 242 as for what other hondas were fitted with the original guards TLM'S & RTL'S others that may have bits http://www.honda-trials.com/_sgg/f10000.htm try the links

same here as i said been using in both tlm's for the last year with out any probs before that in a ty175 and when i had a dt175 mx Comp2 injector.

10-44 seems to be ideal, in 2nd gear they will go anywhere, are you are at merivale on saturday? can have a chat i will be either on a blue/white tlr or my tlm

Sam i use Slikolene comp2 premix in both my TLM's @ 50:1 mix (100ml per 5ltrs fuel, comp2 is a synthetic ester oil i've been using it for over a year now and riding most weekends, dont bother with R30 yes it smells nice coming out from somthing like a triumph cub but stick with a modern oil for the TLM

According to the workshop manual ATF (automatic transmision fluid) 295cc +/- 2.5

got mine today, my first attempt = 1st class well pleased

lee/ducman not sure if all of these are of your party and one of me

Well what a fab 3 days of trialing, a big thank you to Bill Hartnell, Colin Dommett & crew & all the observers for a very enjoyable 3 days.

try this bloke on ebay hondartl or ring him on 07855 888 808 he had a pair of nos mudguards but they are not cheap at over

Hi wheels/brakes are same as tlr250, as are fork seals, sprockets, i have been told that clutch is simalar to the MTX. as for other bits keep checking ebay i got a brand new barrel & piston for my 200 at half the price that it cost the bloke to get. my yellow 200 the other is a 220 better pic of the 200

Looks to me if someone has been playing with rear shock positions, as for age depends what number is after the 525 eg 525-0***** 1975 Model TY175B 525-1***** 1976 Model TY175C 525-2***** 1977 onwards Model TY175D/E/F/G

i think it would be a good idea , will have a chat with 2 other clubs down here in devon/cornwall to see what they think.

I have a pair on my ty175 & have found them ok, but i only ride novice/twinshock routes, they are good on rocks but not as good as others in mud. The front seems as good as a michelin but as usual it depends on what level of rider you are, i went down this road on tyres for my TLM 200 & ended up with a Michelin front & IRC Rear. will be interested in what others have to say.
