    Crf150f 200x

    Came across a good price on a 200x that a guy put a crf150f engine into. He says all the mounts worked out fine, could that be true? He has to take the plastics off to kick start it, how could this be fixed? Seems like it could be a fun ride but it definitely needs a little TLC. Just wondering what people thought of this, does it seem like a good idea? Does this open up more options for the 200x?

    It's up to you. But i wouldn't want to lose 50CC displacement on a thumper...

    At least the kicker gears should be better

    I'd say the newer motor makes about the same power as the OE X motor. You might be able to shorten the kicker to clear the fender if not I don't see taking the seat off to start it being that big of a hinderence.

    If the price is right. Go for it. Heck. Rear plastics is a quick lever. Boom.

    Tires look good. How is the overall condition? Brakes work(?) Chain and sprockets? Carrier bearings? You know the drill

    More room between the pegs and the front part of the fender?

    also looks like you'll have to get a 350x foot brake lever so you can have rear brakes again

    , ya it's a completely different shape and they will end up further back, my 480 kicks on the left side but same idea, I just weld a tab on each side of the sub frame at the top then one on the back drill holes attach fender and seat = you're all done, using the stock 200x mount set up i've done as well but more of a pain

    That's not a techknowledgey advanced motor. Just like the old ones.

    That's not the liquid cooled CRF150R.

    There's a 150f and 150r r is liquid cooled race bike. 150f is a trail bike like the 230 but the pic above looks like a 230

    No it's a 150f. I'm thinking about getting it and seeing if I can sell the engine. Then I'd end up with a roller that I can make an auto x out of or just sell the roller too

    If you look at pics of a 150 and 230 the valve cover on the 230 looks like a 200x that's what it looks like in your pic.

    Yes. It's definitely a 150 engine. If it was a 230 I wouldn't be as hesitant because the engine would be bigger and the kicker clearance issue goes away. He sent me a picture of the donor bike; definitely a 150. The bike was nice but the trike-it looks rough in the pictures and he has no air box, just some sort of filter on the end of the carb. The other issues are no rear brakes, swingarm bushings, plastics all destroyed. And that's all that I know of now. Plan is to look at it tonight, he wants $300 for it and says the engine runs perfect. What do you guys think? And do you think the mounts actually all lined up or did he have to skip a few?
