1985 Atc 200x Rebirth of childhood machine

[plevib]

My dad had this machine since 94 and my siblings and I spent many a summers day beating the crap out of it. obviously haha.... but it's finally time to show it some love

[plevib]

Rebuilt the forks, there was almost no oil left in them haha... new bearings in front and rear, new chain, recovered the seat, new rear plastic, and widened the rear 4 inches. (spacers cuz can't afford an axle so don't tell me how evil they are and how my machine will explode haha) I also put a twist throttle on it. Cuz they're better haha

Here's a quick video of these upgrades

My favorite year and model of 3 wheeler by far. Signing up to watch this one!

And after all of this getting it ready for summer racing............................ a bearing went in the bottom end. but mr. twisted hooked me up with a bottom end and a rusty dg exhaust for a good deal (not for a 200x but i'll make it work). I also acquired a xr cam for it. I still need an xr carb for it.

I'm going with a wiseco piston. I originally planned on a 10.25:1 but i can actually get a 12:1 for cheaper.... I figure I can run it on 93 still if i went with the 12:1? also will that be too much for a stock bottom end?

I used a chunk of pipe that i had to fill the gap. It worked really well. After a couple hours welding, wire wheeling, and painting and its ready to bark! ....after i rebuild the motor...... (so if you figure what my time is worth it was probably just as easy to buy a new one... but what else would i do with my saturday's haha)
