sonny Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 This is my tl 97 with a R1 shock. It is broken at thr moment as well. But chief mechanic Derek will be fixing it soon. Had it two days thought I would clean it only to find pearlescent white wheels what I thought where silver. 2 Quote

DC98 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 couple of friends had tl's but never got to ride one.i do quite fancy an S, always had a little soft spot for them. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 TLS may be almost 20 years old now but it still kicks ass. Try to ride one if you can. Quote

fatblokeonbandit Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 This is my tl 97 with a R1 shock. It is broken at thr moment as well. But chief mechanic Derek will be fixing it soon. Had it two days thought I would clean it only to find pearlescent white wheels what I thought where silver. I did that.. whats broke on it?/ I swopped it 3 years ago for a 1200 bandit... anyway you don't just need to ride one, you need to race one, now that's fun or an R............... 1 Quote
Del Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I did that.. whats broke on it? The motor locked up solid,so i stripped the top ends,thinking it had siezed up. It turned out to be the starter clutch sprockets and starter motor deciding to part company.Should have checked that first.It really had a rough few years.So now it is having a complete rebuild,rewire(loom was a mess),new indicators,pads(they were nearly down to the metal),new hel brake hoses,switchgear sorting,new risers/bars/grips,chain,new nuts/bolts all around,hugger,tyres and undertray/bellypan(when he gets them) Edited September 21, 2015 by Del Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 That was lucky it was the starter gears, my red race bike did that at Donnington, going under the Dunlop bridge in a sound of thunder race in 2005, as I changed down from 6th to 5th there was a big bang and the rear wheel locked solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! huge skid marks, in me pants and on the track, turned out one of the engagement dogs fell off of the back of 5th gear and got jammed... cost a fortune to fix and that was using second hand gearbox bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do like TL's, thats why I bought the orange one ( my 3rd) , it was a Eblag late night come home from pub just have one bid to see what the reserve is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I won!!! it wasent bad but lots of bits missing non running project... poor bloke had just had it painted then got made redundant so had to flog it half done... Tried to sell it once it was running but couldn't flog it so swopped it for a bandit 1200 and sold that Quote
Del Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) He definitely liked his gold anodised ali bitsOh and that sharp bit of metal on the oilcooler,sliced straight through my leg when it fell off the stand,just missed my skin graft Edited September 22, 2015 by Del Quote
Crafty Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Been toying with getting a tl1000s for a while,however, always loved the look of the tlr over the years, had a shot on my mates tl1000r and never liked it to be honest. Was really disappointed.What at are people's thought on tlr v tls? Quote
