dmcnamara Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hi, Does anyone know where I could pick up a head gasket for a 1997 Honda TLM 200r. I bought the bike sometime ago, it is a road legal trials bike and has only been used twice. Anyone know how much it might be worth, I haven't seen any others here in Ireland. Thanks, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max1956bikes Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 why do you need head gasket,these things will go for ever without touching engine.i have one for years never touched engine,i used to have tlm 240 used hard every weekend for 5 years never touched that on either.

dmcnamara Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I am not very mechanically minded ! So have a bike mechanic looking at it for me. It seems there may have been a problem with the throttle cable, that resulted in a lack of oil to the engine. Bascially I am told that there is no compression, only about 50 psi and he would expect about 100. He can get some other parts, but can't source a head gasket, hence the post.

max1956bikes Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 oh i see yes 50 is low.i run mine without oil pump.mixing oil with petrol @60 to one.useing very good oil. if its a metal gasket you may get away with useing old gasket.

dmcnamara Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks for the replies so far, I have sent a mail to Trail & Trials UK, who had the TLR gasket to see if they have one for a TLM? Fingers crossed !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
