New 200M owner

[AtcMan4Life]

Hey all, just picked up a very nice 200M looking to learn some more about it. And have some knowledgeable people to call on when I need help

[kb0nly]

Welcome! If you need info i am sure you can find it here!

[Flossyb20]

I've had one since new in 85...if you need any info, let me know...

[AtcMan4Life]

Thanks guys I deff have some questions already

[maxdallasfan]

How often should you start them to keep them running good? Once a week, once a month?

[AtcMan4Life]

I plan on starting mine all the time I love it! :)

[WJG1000W]

me too its like a 200x but easier to cruse with the semi auto clutch like a 200s but stilll got that electric start

[AtcMan4Life]

I am putting a cobra exhaust and filter on mine, what air filter is best ??? k&n, Uni or other???

[kb0nly]

I run mine hard daily... But thats just me. LOL

I would say every weekend would keep everything in good shape, but then thats my opinion because i would check everything on Friday evening on all my toys so they are ready for the weekend. Also on the electric start toys i put hardwired battery maintainers on them, so they just get plugged in when parked to keep the battery topped off.

[AtcMan4Life]

anyone answer my question?

[WJG1000W]

k and n lets in a lot of fine dust any others are just opinion i think
but you will need to jet it with the new exhaust

[AtcMan4Life]

Yea I figured that since they flow more air I have always used k&n on my cars but I can see why it would be a bad idea on a offroad vehicle. I will go with a uni and save my motor. How do I go about jetting it and where can I get the parts I need -thanks

[WJG1000W]

jets r us is a good place to get jets i hear
search jetting in the search box or go to Trikesylvania and click on world class help then there is a sticky called "Carb Jetting 101: Terms, Tips and Jetting Theory (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/55086-Carb-Jetting-101-Terms-Tips-and-Jetting-Theory)" that should start you off

[AtcMan4Life]

what size jet is good for the exhaust mod?

[Jon Boy]

k and n lets in a lot of fine dust any others are just opinion i think....
your not far off there. there is a reason they flow more air. :lol:
i have one on the 125, but i also run a prefilter with it also. :beer


Yea I figured that since they flow more air I have always used k&n on my cars but I can see why it would be a bad idea on a offroad vehicle.
i very well could be wrong, but from what i understand K&N basicly got their start with desert racing. although you have to remember most race teams change out their motors pretty frequently. also makes sense too that they can be cleaned and are reuseable. :beer

[AtcMan4Life]

what do you guys think about having the air filter right on the carb inlet I have seen this with some carbs that come with a small filter on them

[kb0nly]

You mean by eliminating the airbox? I have always been against air box removal, but to each his own.

[AtcMan4Life]

I understand most wouldnt do it for mud/water riding but all I do is ride trails no crazy mud bogging, will a filter right on the carb inlet be fine and what size filter does it take?

[tri again]

what size jet is good for the exhaust mod?

Unfortunately, there is no secret formula for jets vs. exhaust.
I wish there was.
It's almost not worth risking exhaust stud breakage and the headaches of jetting for days. IMO

Then again, with a little patience, you may hear from someone who has the exact
same parts upgrade that can tell you exactly what works.

the search key is working like a dream these days.

My personal concern is to pass off road regs for spark arrest and decibels
for when we leave the farm.

[AtcMan4Life]

so should I start with just the main jet one size bigger??? what is stock 108??? what jets should I get and how many to start with

[AtcMan4Life]

What main jets should I get for a stock 200m going to a Cobra exhaust and filter upgrade??? if it still runs good after the exhaust I wont touch anything else besides the main jet I just dont want it running lean at wide open throttle.

what is the stock jetting I have been told to go up 2 jet sizes to start on main

[WJG1000W]

service manual said 95

[AtcMan4Life]

95main??? and what size pilot -thanks

[WJG1000W]

look at the service manual but all i saw was 2 1/2 turns out maybe you can see it

[AtcMan4Life]

so the stock pilot will be good for the pipe??? just need a bigger main jet???

[WJG1000W]

i would guess yes since its adjustable

[AtcMan4Life]

yea I ordered two size bigger on the pilot too just in case I cant tune out the mid range on the screw.......... Im having a 100 main added as well I thought the stock main was 100 so I got a 102 and 105 knowing my luck the 102 will be to much and the 100 was the one I needed lol

[WJG1000W]

the jets might have marking on them
how did you order to sets bigger pilot if you dont know what it is

[AtcMan4Life]

Stock is either 35 or 38 I got a 40 just incase but it should run fine on the low end with some tuning on the screw. I will deff swap in a bigger main start with the 100 and see what happens.

[WJG1000W]

sounds like a plan

[AtcMan4Life]

So I was looking around my area for another atv/bike/atc couldn't find to much within an hour and half of me didnt want to go any farther.... but I picked up a pretty nice 2000 Honda xr200 dirt bike thing rides like a dream but as soon as I got back I was looking for a three wheeler again and a nice 85 200x popped up for $100 less than what I payed for the bike, needless to say I'm kinda pissed now :(

[Jon Boy]

that's about the way it happens. got the zinger and 70 last fall, just to see a very nice and very clean 200x for $500obo a couple weeks later. :rolleyes:

[AtcMan4Life]

Yea this dirt bike rides so dam nice its growing on me

[tripowersport]

I only use Stock or cobra I LOVE cobra lol. I also only use uni they never let me down over 20 years.

[tripowersport]

I have a xr400 the xr's rips. but i like 3wheelers better lol. I have a yz490 2stroke race bike for sale if anyone is interested PM me and let me know.
