    FYI: Pro-x offers a connecting rod kit for 86-87 200x

    I am in the process of rebuilding a 1986 200x motor and discovered honda no longer offers a rod for the 86-87 200x. Vesrah offers a kit for the 83-85 200x, but not the 86-87 200x kit which is different then 83-85 200x motor. I had to call L. A. sleve who is pro-x dealer and they called the pro-x whare house and had the connecting rod kit in stock and it is being shipped to me as we speak. The pro-x part number is 03.1253. I hope this helps someone when they go looking for a 1986-87 200x rod kit. Glenn O

    What about the NOS 86/87 vesrah kit I sent you ?
    They make kits but they are listed as 86-88 trx200 instead of 86/87 atc200x

    Well the Honda part number for a rod for the 86-88 trx 200 is different then the rod number for the 1986-87 200x motor. Vesrah does not list a connecting rod kit for the 86-87 200x. I am not an expert but differnt part numbers usually mean a differnt part. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks Glenn O.

    Yep your wrong LOL . Honda's part # system wasn't designed for interchangeability between different models . The fat cat 200 , trx and the 86/87 atc200x are all basically the same motors (different starter set ups) but all the parts are going to have different part #s .

    Mic your stock rod and mic the rod I sent you and you will see that they are the same rods .

    Clutch basket might be different because the fatcat is auto clutch . You should be able to find a good used 86/87 200x basket on ebay?

    After more research and hands on rebuilding a couple 86/87 cranks since , the only parts that I’m aware of that work are OEM Honda .
    Just keep an eye on eBay for the parts .

    I seen a couple of cranks on eBay I just wanted a fresh motor overall and didn't think that it would be this difficult to find a rod kit to fit a Honda but man its not going well. I also looked into a VA-1012 it all seemed to match except the lower pin was 1mm larger didn't know if anyone had any luck with looking at maybe having the crank pin holes machined out to fit. anything is helpful.
    I'm also looking for stock rod dimensions for the 86 atc 200x rod and cant seem to find anything anyone got anything.
    thanks

    Just seen this as I'm working on a fix to rebuild the stock cranks, I can do it now but it's $500 to do it with a new rod kit. I also build a HD rod but that runs it into the $800 range.
