Welcome to 3ww! Well.. that isn't much to go off of.. hows the motor now? Does it run, locked up.. then do you want stock power or more power? Pics and a little more info always helps.

Try the search feature in the upper right hand corner of your screen. There are many topics on from engine to frame work concerning the 200x.

Yeh I'm dumb I wasn't even thinking about what I was saying in my post. Let me start over. I bought just a frame,tank,and swing arm from a women in Memphis TN, it was just sitting in her back yard so i brought it home had it powder coated and I'm just piecing it together off eBay. I now have just a roller. I just feel like I'm out of the loop on what everyone else are doing for motors. For example I have been working on this for a year now and I just now heard something about maybe a crf230f motor. I just feel like I'm out of the loop on cool stuff to do to these bikes. I will post some pics this weekend. Thanks

do yiu want a std or high perf eng?

do you want to use the orig or don't care?

are you willing to modify the frame to accept another eng.

some people have put 750 cc 4 cyl engines in them.

I like the idea of the crf 230 engine .The 185s and 200s will bolt in for an auto X.

Just as 300r said.. 185, and the 200 series will fit. If you go with a 200m you either have to dimple the frame or take the starter out like i did.. then i just put a rubber grommet in. I'd go with a 200s though.

I would like to stay with original as much as possible but really don't care as long as it is a honda motor. Just not sure what is out there. I've tried to bid on two atc motors on eBay but I keep on getting out bid at the last minute every time.
