Hi all

Has anyone had experience with replacing the front fork bushes on a TLR 200 (35mm forks)? I have a set stripped down for an overhaul and noticed that the bushes are showing signs of wear. How easily should they come out?

Interestingly, there is no part number showing in the parts manual for the bushes! Maybe they are not supposed to be replaced?

Any help appreciated.

Make sure you can find replacements before removing

Not sure if this will help. http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-tlr200-reflex-usa_model1107/partslist/F++07.html#results

Hi jkmr1

yes i've seen this and it the same as my manual. It doesn't show the bushes that are within the fork leg.

Cheers

are there deffo bushes in there?????? or do the stantions run direct in the alloy slider?

Hi bashplate

Yes I'm pretty sure,unless im going mad?

Here are a couple pf photos looking down inside the leg.

This shows the top bush

This photo shows the top and lower bush plus the plastic/nylon sleeve between them.

You may understand now why I find it strange that I can't find a part number in the Honda parts list.

I may just take them out and then try to match them with something from another bike.

The 33 mm fork on the reflex does not use bushings. The 35 mm fork on the TLR competition model does use syntallic bushings. The parts diagram shown above is for the 33 mm reflex fork, without bushing. Contact any Honda dealer in a country in which the real TLR (not reflex) was sold, and they will have a parts book for your fork. The real TLR competition was not sold in North America, only the dual sport reflex. Not sure if New Zealand Honda imported the competition TLR back in the day or if individuals brought in bikes on their own from England, Japan etc.

nice one Mark....that clears it up.

What's the part number?  Pretty sure that part does not exist, if it had one and you have the fork apart by now it would be obvious, it's not like fork bushings are pressed on the stanchion tube or anything.   ... or here's another possibility, somebody one off customized your forks

I have both bushes to replace the old ones and I have removed both top ones and the plastic sleeves but am struggling with removing the bottom ones.

So what is the part number and lets see them, the photos you attached are copied from a previous post and don't show the part you report to be struggling with.  If your bottom bushing is not on the stanchion tube then it's not a bottom bushing.

Sorry I was at work. This is pictures of my fork and my new bottom bush. It stays inside the lower legs and does not come out with the stanchions.
