My first 1986 200X

[RodKnockRacing]

My buddy brought me his 86 200x for some carburetor work and new rear axle bearings. Also for me to ride and play around with which I'm excited about

Nice looking 2nd gen! They are alot of fun, not 350X or R fun, but pretty cool trikes!
Nice you get to dial it in and test ride at the same time

I like it alot compared to my 85. I took it for a rip before I took the axle and bearings out, and for a completely stock engine never apart its still snappy and strong.

My second trike was an 84 200x which I bought in 87. The 86 is way more refined. Both are fun, but the 86-7 gets the nod. First gen parts are easy to find, It was a challenge coming up with the missing parts needed to get my 86 on the trails. This is how I found mine years ago

If you ever need to replace the clutch please remember the crank shaft nut is reverse threads , I can’t tell you how many of these I’ve pulled apart that were F*** up from idiots stripping them out .

Looks like an awesome find BTW , congrats .

I've almost done this before. Good thing I had an idea of how much force it needed to come off, and the 8 gallon air compressor wasn't plugged in. Impact = prolly bad idea. Sat back and thought about it for a sec.....oh sheeeeeeeeiiit. Lol. No damage done but I felt like an idiot. Close call.

Nice 2nd gen! Looks like a blast, never ridden one. Maybe some day. If you want an interesting read check out Dirtcrashers '86 200X build. Some serious knuckle bustin to get that thing out the door on schedule, did an incredible job for the time frame also.

Lol, challenge is putting it lightly, I'll be lucky if I ever find a grab bar and taillight for my 87. I've never rode a 1st gen but I'm really happy with my 87. That is in great shape RodKnockRacing.

I scored a PRM grab bar when they did one last run of parts before closing their doors for good.
There is a person in Maine that makes a nice replacement. Just look up ATD products on FB in the trike pages

Hey I could find that ATD products on FB, could you post a link or username or which trike page it's linked to? Thanks.

Type in Craig Burton he lives in Maine. Or use ATD/ATC in the search bar. Hope this link works, he just made new swing arm skid plates for 350X
