Tlr Into Tls
I have just had fitted a tlr motor into my 98 tls, had it delivered last night and parted with my hard earnt cash, bike sounded fine....... for at least 30 minutes!! that is 30 minutes after the guy left who had delivered it to me. I noticed oil leaking from virtually every gasket, and ran like a bag of S..t under 3000rpm. so today i have cleaned the oil off and tryed to find the cause for the leaks,i had oil running down the front cylinder and thought it was the bolts in the head until i looked further and removed the tank and air box,the oil had been flowing out of an inlet/outlet? on the front of the airbox where there should have been a breather attached i assume, but after looking for 4 hours now i cannot find a pipe that could connect to this,is this due to the fact that i have a tlr motor now and its different,but still even if this pipe had been connected should there have been so much oil in the airbox? any info anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.

Sounds like the crankcase breather tube was spitting oil in the airbox. The breather vent is between the 2 cyclinders and it is real fat. My tls has 2 drain hoses that are plugged both are on the throttle side towards the front.
Oh and welcome to the dark side

If he put to much oil in the bike it will go up through the breather tube and into your airbox. If you are missing any of the airbox drain plugs it will run out on your motor. Thats what probably happenedEveryone dies but not everyone livesComment

been in the garage,plugged the outlet on the front of the airbox,took off the breather vent and had a look,thought there would be some kind of valve inside it but twas empty.anyway put it all back together and run the bike and no leak!! thanks guys.
One more problem that i have and many other people appear to have had is the bike running like crap up to 3000, and it appears the answer is the tps may need adjusting. where can i find detailed info on exactly how to do this?Comment

Yes I have done this swap twice. Make sure that you have the breather from the rear cyclinder head connected to the breather box. Next you must run your oil lever at 1/2 in the window not to the full mark or you will have further problems. How did you hook up the oil cooler? I cannot tell you much on the problems you are having in the low RPM both bikes I worked on had PC-II and we leand them out in the low RPM and they worked fine. The TPS may help allot also check your throttle body sync. this may help also.
The open hose has to connect to somthing hope this helps.Comment
