I own a '83 185s as well. Slowly I keep adding upgrades on better looking/working parts for it. I had it stored at a buddy's place for a few years....

I'm having technical difficulties uploading pictures. Later.

All you have to do to see it coming up on compression TDC is watch the intake valve open and close. Once it starts closing, look for the 'T' to come...

That is exactly why I plan to recheck. Typically I can feel a little bit of "play" in the rockers and know that I am on the compression stroke. ...

About the only same similar between the first and second gen 200X is the name. There is no tweaking, Honda completely redesigned it.

You can't adjust the valves with the cover off, the rockers are in the cover. To make it easier to keep the crank where you want it, remove the...

I pulled the mechanism out. It looks like it should. I hope that I got the valve adjustment wrong and that is why the decomp is not working. My...

he '85 and '86 200X are pretty similar in a lot of ways, but Honda did make a few tweaks between the two years, which is probably why the part...

The decompression mechanism doesn't have a detent, it's just an eccentric that pushes on the exhaust rocker tab to hold the valve open a little. I...

Yep, this one will stay in the collection, along with a '87 Trail Boss and '87 Cyclone. The early production '85 Trail Boss and Scrambler went as...

If it doesn't roll, there's quite a few possible issues. It should at least rock back and forth a little, even if in gear. It wouldn't matter if...

That's super cool and from the first to recent post, It's clear you're going to hang onto it for a little bit. I have a question though. Does it...

Thanks. I like having a mirror anytime I'm on public roads, be they paved, gravel, or dirt, and it's easy when the lever perch already has a mirror...

USE 300EX, the 350x is all worn out and nuts in price for rusted worn out junk. all the cast hubs have a machined surface where the the seal needs to...

I have run into an issue with the decompression lever. I have been using this lever manually since the decomp cable is missing from this machine. ...

I had thought about just running a 300ex rear axle with brake setup since you can get all of those parts new for a decent price. Is the brake hub...

you can use 300ex brake hubs, 400ex brake hubs, 250r brake hubs, 450r brake hubs. all both one but need the relate brake plates...the best mod would...

Working on my snowthrower tonight. Started bogging down in deeper snow. Belt was pretty worn. Tried a new one. Not the main problem. Pushed on the...

Shoes, decals and a new seat cover for the 'ol girl. And with the closest to OE matching rear shoes I can find

Nice. Now I won't feel weird about installing a mirror on my 200X What's the led display for? The one under the bars that indicates 4?
