Motorcycle Repair: working on old engine, mc repair, head gasket
QuestionI recently bought a very original Honda TL250E (Aust)1975 model trials bike. It appears the engine has never been disassembled. I want to de-carbon it (looks caked from exhaust port, even though runs well). I am concerned about siezed threads, and obtaining gaskets. I think this model has a different head gasket from the XL250K model?
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
I notice many info sites for little bro. TL125, particularly in UK, but virtually nothing on the (better?) 250 model. Why so ?
AnswerHi Ian,
Due to the age of the MC, finding parts is a challenge. Not sure why the TL125 is more popular on the internet. Try the following site:

Send me your email address if you want MC repair files. "
