June 14, 201115 yr I am sort of leaning toward the idea that a fire hot enough to melt the engine probably didn't leave the frame without damage. Photo courtesy of ebay. Just realised that the intensity of the 'melt' would have been aided by the magnesium cases on the TL250 ( you can tell this is a 250 as the airbox and frame have a straight-through feed to the carb, whereas the 125 has the airbox entry on the side). Mg is not an easy metal to set fire to, but when it does, it burns at a temperature of about 3,000 °C., or above 5,000 F. Wouldn't like to be near any fire that can melt a bike!
