Specifically the illustrations of the forks and carbs for the different years. The reason I ask is that I recently bought a 1975 tl125, identified as such by the serial numbers on the frame and engine. However, from looking at the info in the manual, it appears that I have the forks from a tl250 and the carb from a 1976 tl125s. This wouldn't be especially unusual for a bike this age, but it does become important to have the components identified when ordering parts. The forks in particular have the o-ring sealed plug with a snap ring instead of a screw in plug and the spring arrangement seems to match the pictures for the tl250. : Thanks for any imput. I'm new to the bike and trying to sort things out. : Richard Richard- My parts manual shows that the adjustable forks were only on the 73&74 tl125's. In 75 and 76 they have the snap rings that you describe.Please keep in mind that this is for U.S. models. I never liked Clymer or Hayes manuals because of this problem,they seem to use whatever pictures they have and this applies to their auto manuals as well.When I bought my tl I was able to get a Honda manual from my dealer,but this was about 6yrs ago.Why do you think you have a "S" carb? I know that they have diffrent part #'s and the internals have diffrent part #'s and I wonder if Honda was trying to cure the stumble that the older models had.
