thank you! I forgot about that. jim

If you ever remove the right side crank bolt remember its a left hand thread . So many of these 86/87 cranks have been destroyed because people don’t...

found out the rear bearings are junk. I thoigjt the motor wasnt shifting into neutral. pulled the chain and the sprocket spins fine in neutral. ...

My vote is to store it somewhere dry, slowly piece that 86 200x back together. You wont regret it on your first cruise. They store away nicely while...

thanks, ill keep a eye open flr that. got the cylinder soaking with oil, hopefully it'll break free. I may just take what will fit my 200x and 350x...

The 83-85 200x front hub ,axle , brakes and spacers will bolt right up to the 86/87 ., a lot cheaper than finding 86 parts .

should have mentioned the title only runs about 57 dollars and is 2 trips to the dmv and 1 trip to the insirance office to buy the bond. jim

trouble is i have a pretty decent 84 200x and a pair of 185s's too. then ive got the 350x im trying to put back together. looking around ebay i can...

I wouldn't title it; for what you paid you can make plenty of money back parting it out. You know the vin is clean so the frame is several hundred on...

Welcome Bolo!

BUMP. My 85 350X revival project is finished. I'm about ready to get my RAC permit. Any RAC riders that would like to meet up give me a shout. The 86...

No, you shouldn't have to do that, but unless you're returning it, you're stuck with that gap. The gap didn't seem that excessive to me initially,...

I shouldn't have to do that, but it has crossed my mind. I will be sending BVC one more email, not expecting a reply, about my displeasure and how I...

I do run across interesting stuff, but those 86 wheels are rather elusive... I have a set; front is nice and rears have been beaten back into...

Proper hot blueing is an oxide layer on the surface, sort of like a passivation that occurs to aluminum and titanium. Sealing with grease or a...

If you search around, you might be able to find some 3/8" thick rubber, or neoprene, and make a gasket, to fill that gap. I looked in my stash, but...

Yes, that’s right. It is a cold blueing liquid. Although, I heated the inner axle to get it warm. I’ll take it apart next year to see how it held up....

Maybe try searching under ‘atv’. I’ve found good 3-wheeler deals there.

You nailed it. 3/8"

How wide is the gap? Looks to be about 5/16 - 3/8”?

Age is catching up with all of us. Hopefully they get it figured out so you keep playing with your toys.

Looking at pics of the gasket/seal on ebay, I don't think it would be thick enough. Might have to stack 3 of them to fill the gap:lol: Does anyone...

I agree their communication sucks. It seems they’re too busy making videos touting their products, when the time would be better spent refining their...

Yes, sir. +2 w/450r carrier. So from the beginning. The lower bracket (shock link) would not fit between the lugs. I had to remove the powder coat...

I agree, as long as the shock isn’t making contact with the swing arm, there isn’t any issue. It’s definitely closer than stock though. I’m assuming...

So, I guess my dreams of $20 rear wheels has been shattered?

Get better and ride!!!

So, is the shock at an angle then, or the arm is made/bent/tweaked off to one side? I don't like how close it is either, but I don't fully understand...
