Tlm 200r 1983

[kimpybugalugs]

Hi All.

I tried posting this in the air cooled mono section and got no answers. This area seems to be all about the four strokes but I thought I'd give it a go.

I have just bought one of these. Is there a difference between a TLM 200R and a TLM 200 (do they both exist?)?.

Are there any good websites for info on this bike? I'd like to find out about any potential problems/issues and any easy, cheap worthwhile mods, and access to spares.

Does anyone else have one because at the moment I feel like an outcast?

Thanks in advance for any help/info/views about this bike.

i got a tlm200 i have heard of r type.these bikes are made for trail riding.but make very reliable trials bike ideal for basic clubman riding.you wont need any spares as they never go wrong.things like brake shoes are same as tlr250. sprockets availble no problem rear wheel same as tlr250,engine parts like clutch same as mtx 200.i used to have tlm240 and rode every weekend for many years and never had head of.mudgaurd front normal pattern type but rear very hard to get i have modified pattern one to fit.air filter needs throwing away cut out webing inside and take off rubber top,and fit a rtl250 airfilter but they are getting to hard to get now a chap in japan has box loads of them,but he dont understand english,so for the moment im using montesa 314r air filter with home made simple cage out of coat hanger wire,this really helps to get the engine revving out gives a lot more power,i did the same with my tlm240.

Thanks for the reply.

Interesting that you reckon the R is a trail version.

Mine has nothing that gives off a trail feel - tall gearing, bigger seat etc. Maybe it's been trialized (that must be a real word?)?

I figured very little would go wrong with it - it is a Honda.

My rear gaurd has been plastic welded and I can put up with it. I've already ordered a "Gonelli" front mud guard to replace the standard, shattered one.

I'll look at the air box mod but it already has so much low down grunt (mind you I am comparing it to my old TY175) that I'm not sure more power is what I need.

It's great to know there are others out there.

Hi kimpybugalugs

your TLM200r is a pukka trials bike,

there is also a 220r,240r ,250 and a 260

the trail bike idea may come from the TLR 250r which is a trail bike and completely different to a TLR250f trials

If you get realy stuck PM me as have a nos rear fender,that i dont need anymore

hope this helps.

Thanks for your input.

I have no excuses for a crap score if it's a pukka trials bike.

Cheers.

mine has oil tank that is filled up front of petrol tank in frame, when i bought it it still had indicators and lights.that lot soon got taken of,also oil pump on engine,so perhaps honda also made a trials version like the 240 and 250 and 260,i have ridden them all,my favorite is the 240 then the 200.the 250 and 260 were far to powerfull for me they kept spinning the back wheel to much.the 200 is perfect as a starter bike nice and soft power delivery,when it comes to a big uphill it will bog a bit unless you do airbox mod,it wont spoil the bike at lower revs.
