shercosi Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have recently bought a tl125 to do up not to a concours rebuild but a good usable trials iron to use instead of my 03 sherco 290. Now being a bit heavier than I was as a lad I am considering a sammy miller 150 conversion my barrel is a 124cc type so no problems there what I want to know is what to jet the carb to also do you run a different plug than standard ie hotter or colder. I am also thinking about doing a disc front end conversion as my fork legs need recromeing so what bike would be a good candidate for a replacement front end. If ferret flasher reads this need help with wirring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcra Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) The Sammy Miller 150cc conversion is _ok_ and my bike has this however it results in a liner you flex between your fingers ! Many people fit a thicker liner, the whole discussion on this is TL125 FAQ, but for sure the main benefit is getting rid of the idle-cough. I didn't need to change or re-jet the carb, but I did have to replace in the end with 1/2 a CB360 carb, as mine was knackered. Standard DR8ES plug seems to work fine (though TL125s can eat plugs on a trial) Dont do the disk conversion, not work the effort on what I am still saying is not the best 70's trials iron. See Article. Dont rechrome the forks, get some off a TY175 or 250 or ones that are more beefy. Edited May 27, 2007 by malcra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
