Yesterday I bought two new to me ATC’s. One is a mostly complete 1985 ATC70 for my soon to be born daughter! The second is a 1983 ATC200X for me! Since my wife has basically staked a claim to my 1986 125M this will be great as each of us will have our own ATC now!
The 70 is making spark and needs a tuneup and a rear wheel to be a rider. I plan to do a light restoration on it so it’s ready to go when my daughter is old enough to ride it.
The 200X is another story, it isn’t a basket case but it’s close. The prior owner prepped it for storage outside by removing the gas cap, spark plug and clutch cover . Amazingly the tank appears to be salvageable, the engine is not stuck and aside from some very light surface rust on the primary gear on the crank I think the engine is serviceable. I am missing some critical parts though that I’d love some help on tracking down.
1. Right side foot peg is gone
2. Kickstart parts in the clutch cover are gone
3. Kickstart lever is gone
4. Hydraulics are shot, I can rebuild the masters I think but the plastic reservoirs are history.
5. The stator side rear engine mount spacer is gone (frame to engine spacer)
I am debating throwing the clutch cover back on it, pouring some oil in the case and over the cam and seeing if I can get it to pop off, then if it shifts and doesn’t make any scary noises I’d be happy to invest the funds to make it right. The other option is to go ahead and tear it completely down and see what I have. If the engine is not salvageable I’m thinking find a donor motor, XR200 or CRF230 and swap it. There’s a remote chance I’ll try stuffing a Yamaha Blaster motor in it, now that would be sporty!
What do you guys think? I’ve read that the 83’ 84’ and 85’ have many interchangeable parts but I see that the swing arm is different on the 83’, the kickstart gears have different P/N’s across each year and the pegs even appear to be different!
Thanks in advance for any insight you may have, or parts you may be willing to sell!
Main thing I’m after at the moment is what year right side peg can I use and can I use an 84’ set of kick start gears with the 83’ internal kickstart shaft?
For reference here are the ID numbers
Frame JH3TB0523DC313617
Engine TB05E-6017858
According to my research both indicate 1983 DOM
