Has anyone ever put one of the 4-valve motors on a 200X? How much more power do these motors have compared to the stock 2-valve X motor? Sure seems like there is some real performance potential there, if you can find any performance parts (cams,carbs,etc.). Of course you'd have to take the fenders off to crank it! I could live with that though. If anyone has any experience with this swap, give me a holler! It would be cool to have dual Mikuni's and somehow have dual Supertrapps! Makes me shiver just thinking about it!

I had an xr200 motor on my 200x, however it was an 1981, but the power was the same, they were basically the same motors, only that the 200x has a clip on the shift shaft on the right side (if your sittin on the trike) internally, atleast thats all i noticed. However i sold the xr because i was tired of rebuilding it, never had luck with it on my x. it was the 2 valve kind.
