Hi Folks,
Just about to try and do a rebuild on my 1985 TLR250.
Sadly I've just found out that Honda have stopped making Piston, Rings & Head and base gaskets for 1985 TLR250.
I've heard that other model Honda's have pistons & gaskets that will do the job.
Does anybody know what model / year Honda the required bits could come from.
I don't want to pull the barrell & head off the bike until i've been able to secure the parts I need to rebuild it.
Thanx in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Gary B.

Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
Hope I'm not the bearer of bad tidings here Gary, but last I heard a bloke in England had a few pistons specially made and was selling at a very inflated prices. Jacko tried to find something that he could substitute for his TLR250, with no joy, (And he has very good supply contacts).
Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
JP Pistons in South Australia are Australian Manufacturers.
Handle small runs of all types of Automotive Pistons---Including Motorcycles.
Have used them in the past for special car pistons.
Good Product, reasonable prices.
Google them or call 08 8261 7222
Well worth a try.
Good Luck

Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
Thanx Brian,
Thats bloody expensive piston kit, close to $500 aud by the time I get it to Australia.
I've been in touch with Serco (Weisco Importers for Australia) and they reckon Weisco doesnt do a TLR250 piston kit.
I'l keep investigating at the moment & see what I can find.
Thanx again.
Cheers,
Gary.

As I said -Bloody expensive! But it's not as if this is a rare bike eh? ...
There would be hundreds of TLR250s running around, surely it couldn't be too hard to commission a batch of pistons.
And not qty 6, more like qty 60 - too keep the costs down. (Obviously you'd go for the oversizes, not standard).
What do we reckon?
Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
I am sure I heard somewhere that you cant bore the cylinders oversize? or that oversize pistons were not made.

Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
I just received the rings & gasket off TYOFFROAD, took about 8 days, ive had the piston coated with a coating that builds the piston up a bit. A mate who works on Ferrari's said he has used this coating as well, it's probably about a 10 day turn around from God's Country to Vic for the HPC coatings ? Do know Nutty Professor, he lives up there somewhere ?
Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
Hi Gary, you can bore over size , mine has been done. Wisco +.5mm is getting a bit thin but seems to be ok . Not cheap cheers Baxy

Re: TLR250 Piston kit & gaskets
No need to source the coating in UK. This outfit in Vic does the clever ceramic coatings:
https://www.racecoatings.com.au/coatings/
It may be worth seeing if a worn piston could be coated to suit a lightly rebored or honed cylinder.
(Jacko had a new thicker liner made and fitted).
