Honda Phantom Ta200 Service Manual
Three falang have bought Honda Phantom in Kalasin in the last 4 months and all have problems. Mine i bought in December and it was noisy and i now find it is burning nearly 1 Litre of oil every 1000Kl, another guy i know has complained because after a few kilometres his is very noisy and the 3rd guy when he pulls the clutch to engage gear the bike screetches. Is happening, I had one of these for 4 years and the only problem I had (apart from the untrained mechanics in the Honda shops) was the anodising on the front forks. Has anyone else had problems with these bikes? If you have noise problems take it to the shop and complain. I had the oil changed for the first service but had a long ride to Korat so had the oil changed there at just over 2000klm.
Honda CB750 CB 750 F1 Illustrated Parts List Diagram Manual. Honda TA200 Shadow TA 200 Phantom Owners Maintenance Instruction. I have a Phantom TA200 that has done 495km and been standing. To get it fully operational again and am looking for a service/workshop manual if. Have ordered compatible front and back from China as Honda in Australia.
The guy showed me what he drained and there was about 1/2 a cup instead of a litre. When i complained after 2200klm their was a guy in the shop from honda Bangkok and he took it in hand. They are going to change the engine in mine because I said it was a new bike and I wouldn't accept a repaired engine and I refused to take the bike from the shop and it has now been there a week. A Swiss guy in the next village has a screetch when he operates the clutch but says there is a 3 year 30,000klm warranty so he's not concerned.
Stupid bastard. A German is not happy because his is noisy but the shop has done something to quieten it and say if it reoccurs they will change the bike. I don't believe this because they have applied for registration so it would cock that up. I think they are just delaying it and hoping he won't go back.
Do it the Thai way. Deny the problem and once you've paid the problom is yours.TIT. If you have noise problems take it to the shop and complain.

I spit the dummy because I bought a new bike not a rebuilt bike. I had one of these for nearly 4 years and if I wanted a rebuilt engine I would have done that one up. This is typical Thailand, you get shit and the bastards expect you to accept it. The f- bike can stay in the shop until it corrodes away. I paid for a new bike and that is what i want. My advice to everyone is to buy the Kawasaki Boss. 25cc less but similar performance and the exhaust tone is so much better than the Phantom.

Did you have a look at the spares parts? The parts I saw in Chiang-Mai are stamped 'made in Indonesia'.It's seems that ASTRA HONDA INDONESIA produce there the HONDA TIGER 200 a touring bike motored by this 200cc engine and that Honda Thailand import this engine to in the made in Thailand shopper style frame.
Both bikes are made in heavy mild-steel; to heavy for this small engine in my opinion.Or is the engine made in China like the mechanic men told me in the maintenance shop of Honda Sengchai C-M?Anyway don't worry griz47 I suppose the shop with fix it. Oops, my answer to this post was gone to fast.I was saying that you don't need to worry because after repair under warranty, you could be more lucky with this bike and, what is nice in Thailand, you will not lose so much money on the second hand market. Yesterday, I was in the biggest second hand market of the North which is open every saturday in SAN PATONG 35 km South of C-M. There, I saw some Phantom 3 years old sold at more than 60.000 Baht.In my opinion, the Phantom engine is not the best quality but is far better that common Chinese production.Anyway, you have no choice in this range of price.From the same crankcase, Honda produce engines from 90cc to 250cc even 270cc for 1986 factory trial racing bike.I am very specialized in single cylinder Honda small engines and have many of these included HRC 250cc bikes with magnesium crankcase here in my garage in Thailand.

On the old bike i had the forks changed under warranty and the bastards knocked the sleeves off with a screwdriver. I have photographs of the damage they caused.
My ladies Click had scratches to the plastic because she dropped it and they said they would make it like new. They bought spray cans locally and all the red had the orange peel effect.
The bike was 3 weeks old. If they'd told me they couldn't do it I would have bought all new panels. When I complained about the finish they told me to buy lapping paste and do it myself. I totally spit the dummy and nearly wrecked the shop. I wouldn't trust the bastards here with a wheelbarrow.Anyway don't worry griz47 I suppose the shop with fix it. While I don't know the statistics (% of all bike sales etc.) for the Phantom, one cannot help but notice the disproportionate number of Phantoms which are for sale.Have a garage remove the cylinder head and take a look at the piston ring.
Any signs of wear & tear? You could have the ring replaced. In case of excessive wear, why not replace the pistons with 1 oversize and get a rebore with honing and all? Just make sure to take it to a really good shop which is doing such jobs (or has connections to a specialist shop).Ride on,Chris.

Honda Phantom Ta200 Service Manual 2016
I need to find out all the connections for the hoses on the vacuum system and carbie for a starter. After that I need to get information on tuning the carbie, check on wheel bearings, rebuilding master cylinders (although I have ordered compatible front and back from China as Honda in Australia do not have them and apparently do not intend getting them) and any other issues that arise as I work on getting it roadworthy. Given the shortage of parts and information available here a service manual will be an insurance for the future.
