So I recently bought an 86 bare frame I’m swapping a cr125 into that part is a whole different discussion where I’m hung up and having troubles is the chassis parts for the 200x I got the swingarm and rear axle and all but it didn’t come with the pivot bolt and I cannot find one anywhere not on eBay, Facebook groups, nowhere. Has anyone found one that is the same? And along with that I have a set of 250r forks (I’m not sure what year) I’d kinda like to see about mounting on it. Are the 85-86 250r triples the same? What will it take to get them mounted? Thanks for the help

Pivot/swingarm bolt
Use a 86-87 trx200sx atv Pivot -(ebay- there like $20 bucks) or used to be.....
same size/same length and the shaft is a touch skinnier (middle section) so you can pack it w/grease. I think (all balls) or whatever there called comes with the end caps/covers and center sleeve u need too, if u need em.

Anyway. Good luck
Use the trx200sx swingarm bolt part# and search eBay that way too - find the part# on partzilla or elsewhere....

The 250R front end has rake built into the fork clamps, 350X forks and clamps are a nice upgrade.

Because of the airbox, the CR motor will have to be stuffed in with custom parts everywhere, it's easier thought about than done.

Shep knows all the swaps that work well and are less expensive...

Dirtcrasher- Will all 350x triples and forks fit the 86 200x?

Yes, and they turn excellent on the 2nd gen 200X.

Was this for a 1st or 2nd gen 2x because that’s what i did and the bolt is like 2 1/2" too long! They could’ve sent me the wrong one though..
Thanks for the input!
