If any Seeley Honda TL 200E owners need a manual, send me a PM with your e mail address and I'll send you a copy. Happy to share in the spirit of trials ?

I bought a new Seeley (the black mudguard version) sometime around 1980(?) and have been a fan of them ever since. Spotted a good 'un for sale out here in France a few years back but didn't buy it. However, for some strange reason, I kept some photos of the bike and browsed through them earlier today in one of my 'delete unwanted photos' sessions. I think I'll keep 'em. Would be interesting to see other members' Seeley photos as I think there were a few different versions over its limited production run. Or am I wrong as usual? Anyway, a couple of snaps...

Hi. Am looking for a bit of advice on my Seeley kickstart. I have just rebuilt the bike over the last 10 months having bought it from the dreaded ebay. The motor was supposed to have been rebuilt before I got it and this seems to be correct as it runs well and ticks over like a sewing machine. I am pleased with the end result apart from the the kickstart ratchet seems not to be engaging correctly and most times when you kick it will not turn the engine over. No decompressor cable setup is fitted. I have read on other postings here that sadly I will need to pull the motor apart to check / repair the problem. Can anyone tell me what to look out for and is the kickstart shaft assembly the same part as used on the XL185? My engine No is RS200TE - xxxx. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Hi everyone, I brought a seeley 200 20+ years ago but only just got around to restoring it, only to find out I'm missing a heap of stuff. Firstly I'm missing the camshaft, could anyone tell me what replacement camshaft I can use? Secondly I'm missing the rotor as well which sucks as I know the crank and rotor was weighted and balanced together. I've ordered a rotor from a xl185 and plan on getting the crank and rotor 're balanced. Is the xl185 rotor the same used in the seeley engine?

Can anyone confirm that the original engine in a Seeley is based on the XL185? If so do most parts fit, clutch, bearings, seals etc.

I have an early production Seeley 200 (frame # 1011) and the previous owner has misplaced a couple parts that I don't foresee him finding, so I need to find replacements. I have exhausted my search efforts on the web, so I hope I find better luck with this post. I need a front backing plate and front axle. I was told a MT125 Elsinore backing plate (1973-1976) would fit, but it does not. I assume I could fit an entirely different ft. rim with larger brakes, but I would like to keep as original as possible. Also, no carburetor and air boot on the bike...my only option may be to fit a similar carburetor, which may be of best option or interest anyway. I assume the front tire assembly/backing plate were common on other bikes of this era, but I rather not keep guessing and making incorrect and costly ebay purchases. For the carburetor, I know there are several options, but any insight as to which carb (make and model/part number) anyone has had success with (along with jet sizes) would be greatly appreciated.

Could anybody please give me a bit of advice as to what mudguards this would have come with and what would be the closest style of replacement available today, also what would the correct length of the rear shocks have been? Any help and advice will be most welcome.
-
Has anyone tried a TLR carb on a Seeley? Been having the usual problems with the original, erratic tickover and lack of adjustment.
-
Hello all. My final drive shaft has a fair bit of wear to the splines, before I get the TIG set out, is this shaft common to any other engines? XL185 etc Thanks for taking a look at my post. Mark

Can anyone help with information on mods to this engine? I have one to overhaul and would like to know if it can be bored out above the standard oversize. Also I have been told that a cam from either a quad or a XL/XR 200 will improve performance. Where would I source engine parts for this engine? Any information would be appreciated.

Just wondered how many of the remaining Seeley's still have the original stainless RSC back boxes fitted. I had one from new and the rear box needed plating before it was two years old, paper thin! The odd ones that come up for sale all appear to have after market exhausts fitted.

Hello, Is there anybody that can explain me how to adust timing ignition on the Seeley... There is no "F" mark on the ignition plate ; so i'm a bit lost. Many thanks in advance

Yeah, what could go wrong? What I really want is a 1979 Seeley Honda 'cause they stir my soul better than any other trials bike out there. Seeking to do an AHRMA trials in a couple of years, I notice that the modern classic rule book allows the 79 xl185s to be used for ahrma trials. So I found a core bike and am researching what needs done to make a respectable trials bike that stays within the rules. I don't see much evidence of others taking on this nonsensical project, but if anybody knows about it being done well, I'd love a steer toward learning more. Here are the results of my early research: Don't know rake angle, but targeting 27.5 degrees after I get my travel figured out. Plan to cut and weld top tube ala Gary Jones cr250m approach. Rear setting the foot pegs looks easy enough to get close. I see lots of variance in positioning on various bikes. Wonder what the driver is toward proper placement. I think modeling the TLR positioning is probably safe. 35mm forks from nx125 or 79 xl500s look like good starts to get trials fender mounting built in. Bigger top out spring to bring travel down to 7". No need to cut/weld damper rod to shorten I guess. I'd love a Seeley sub fuel tank and tank cover. I saw where I can buy a tank cover, but not the under tank. I think sticking with the stock xl185 tank may be the starting point though it will look funky. Looking for other options, like maybe a nice narrow cr125m tank. Universal trials fenders are somewhat elusive so far. Wondering if a ty175 rear fender will work well. Seats are pretty flat and small, making one from scratch to fit well should be okay. Wonder what rear travel it should have. No specs for any trials bike travel so far. Need to look harder maybe? 200cc cylinder from an atc will bring larger finning and more displacement. Atc200e camshaft a good choice? Is a Megacycle roller bearning torque cam a ton better? Should the headpipe stay the same small stock xl185s size? Will a bigger head pipe cause low end to suffer? Carb size? The Chinese ebay Mikuni carbs have a pretty small throat even on their "30mm" carbs. Are they a good choice? Gears from an xr have closer 1-2 gear ratios so I have a donor motor for that. Anyway, every single one of those thoughts is subject to change and I am very interested in getting more knowledgeable input on working through this project. Thanks for any input you can offer!

I am trying to locate a kickstart stop for my TL200 Seeley , can anyone lend me their stop so I can fabricate a new one, I will return next day registered delivery. Also I'm looking for a spring clip for the fork leg that keeps the seals in. cheers all :hyper:

Attention all Seeley owners!! I'm in the process of getting some stainless exhausts made up for the Seeley. These are similar copies of the one shown in the pictures. I've run with this exhaust on my own bike for a number of years with no problems after a full restoration. She runs (& sounds) great!!! This is a one off run that I'm getting made and will only include you if you are seriously interested. If anyone is interested in some more details mail me at "stuart at vvvracing.com" for a price etc. Oh, Big John has seen a work-in-progress and liked what he saw!!!

is there anybody out there who knows what gearbox ratios were used in the seeley box ???

Hello, I've got a little question about the Seeley's kick.. What kind of model did you have on your bike ? Here is mine, but i don't think it's the right one.. Thanks
-
A friend of mine is looking for a new frot pipe for a seeley with XL 185 engine, which will be the right one Tlr or Tl or complete different ?
-
My Seeley has a cam knock ( i think it's coming from that area), what is required to fix this? Any help would be great thanks.
-
Probably the only one over there, may be reasonable money that side of the water. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260982460943?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_708wt_932

Hello all, I have recently brought a Seeley TL200 and the front forks sag by 4 centimetres (probably not suprising for a 1981 bike). Does anyone know what length the springs should be and/or where I might be able to get replacement marzocchi springs from? The bike also needs any airbox, so again does anyone know where I could get one from? Thanks

Any suggestions out there as to where to get a set? Trying to get a set of XL185 plates here in Ireland is proving difficult!
