Yamaha never made an ATC. You can use Honda ATC 185s / 200s forks though.

he is obviously just talking about ytm200 forks on a honda i belive they will work atc stands for all terian cycle and any wheeler is an all terian cycle just because honda uses it in the model name dosent mean he cant call other three wheelers atc now if he called a atc 200 a ytm 200 it would be different because ytm stands for yammaha tri moto otheers maybe tri motos but there yammaha tri motos :Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce: Bounce:Bounce

Why use inferior Yamaha parts on a Honda. They make parts that fit properly. Use them. I suggest springing for an All Balls steering stem bearing kit from Rocky Mtn Atv while you have it apart.

I have done it it is not a direct fit, unless you have money for a machinist, or are one with access to a mill, and can grind the steering stem out from the original honda to be put in the yamaha triples it will not work. I did it because for me it was cheaper to do the interchange than to buy a new front hub for an 81 atc 200. If you want more details and pictures of the swap let me know, and I can show you what was needed to be done

this is what ytm 200 k forks look like on an 81 honda 200

I also have a custom mounted ytm 225 tank on it but fork wise it was an improvement to the non suspended oem honda forks. I don't know why it added the pictures of my dx but ok
