Dear all TL members. I’ve long been a forum leech and gleaned all the wondrous free advice shared by everyone. I’ve always felt that I had little to offer in the way of help or advice back that hadn’t already been done/said, until now. Instead of seeking profit, I’ve felt it right to give back...

Hi everyone, I'm TL1000R owner and few month ago I killed engine in suzi. :banghead:banghead The problem of course is spun bearing on crankshaft. I was stupid and did too many long wheelies. :coocoo I could sey easy to lift hard to keep becouse of oil lubrication. Now I'm looking for new...

I finally got all the bits-n-pieces back together and started it up a few times over the last few days. Trying to do the TPS and TB adjustments (air box off, with all sensors connected). Did the thermostat mod and inline fuel filter mod. Right now it starts up after one or two cranks, and let it...

I'm in the process of rebuilding an engine for my TLS and I'm positive it's going to take forever (2 kids, old house, needy dogs, etc....). Along the way I'm sure I could use some advice on certain things and I figure I should probably keep it all in one thread. So here it is.... The Slowest...

Hello people I appreciate there are hundreds of posts on here about the leaky clutch cover so I apologise for adding to the list but I haven't trawled through them all to find an answer. Sorry! So, I'm going to replace (hopefully) the naff plastic engine clutch cover that is always leaking...

hi im new to the tl world just got one but the problem is that the kid i got it from went to jail when he was fixing the bike and when people moved the stuff it didnt all go to the same spot but for 250 bucks i couldnt pass it up. i got most of the major stuff taken care of but the one thing i...

Hiya! :( Before you respond (if you wanted to!), I haven't investigated fully yet, because I haven't got any spare oil and as always, it's happened on a bloody bank holiday weekend! :banghead (I.e. no-where is open!) The bike hadn't been run for 4 years, then over the last few weeks I've been...

Hey guys, Any help would be great! Went out on my TL yesterday, when I tried to start it back up, no starting, starter motor whirring, Could not bump start. Called out the AA and the guy said that the battery was showing low voltage and that the battery is not charging when I'm riding the...

Does TLR need them since the fairings already cover the area quite well, especially at magneto side? I'm asking since I found some temptatively priced covers for TL on Ebay. And they're supposedly manufactured in Germany so the quality should be ok...

Hello guys, I am working on buying a 2003 TLR engine complete with throttle bodies. Does anyone know what these engines weigh? I need a rough estimate for the shipping company in the morning. Thank you in advance for your replies! DJR

Reading this forum it looks like there are some very experienced wrench-turners on here. I'd love to get some consensus on this important issue for all riders. Breaking in an engine, do it hard or do it easy? There is a lot of old school knowledge out there, but the truth changes as engine...

Does anyone know the length of the engine mount bolt, its the one on the front head on the throttle side (the one that usually snaps). i need a new one coz its snapped and the local bike braker has a few but need the length. ta in advance.

Need a complete engine for a 98 TL1000R. I have a cracked head in mine and need to swap engines before the 2010 race season begins. If you could help please pm me or email me at [email protected] Thanks,

on my 1999 T TL1000s the large RH engine case has a small hole about 2mm on the front of it, i noticed a little oil residue in the casing but im unsure as to the reason for the hole to be there, can anyone shed some light on it, it looks like the hole was made on purpose by machine or in the...

I have a set of good cases form a 2001 TLR with one flaw: one mounting boss for the sprocket cover (which mounts the speed sensor) is broken off (cracked, there is not any hole in the cases, a pretty easy weld-up fix). Unfortunately, I've got $80 into them. I'm asking $40 or best offer plus...

I know that the bike runs best when the ECM is in the warm map above 182 degrees IIRC. Now the popular modification is to run a hotter thermostat to ensure that the bike won't get cold enough to switch to the cold map. My question is what temperture range does the engine make the most power at...

:O Hi to all out their hope you all have a good new year,(back to business) is it possible to use the S engine in a R rolling chasssis , i now its a cable clutch so that should not present a problem, i have a serc cooler with aero quip fitting which i would like to mount up the front of the...

I have a complete 1997 all original TLS engine that I'm thinking about parting out. The engine has 52,000 miles on it and the bottom end is seized. I don't want to break it apart if nobody wants any of the parts. It is a lot easier to move around in one piece. So far all I know is that it was...
