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 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...

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?

Is the motor locked up?

I got some more riding in today. In the south we get more ice than snow, to the point we get ice storms, which breaks trees and takes out power...

The tires I have are old and already on wheels. Ohtsu XA-801. They are at about 1/2 tread and amazingly do not have dry rot cracks. 22x11x8. ...

You really do not need the clamp. Take the header and muffler to a weld shop. Have them cut off the part on the muffler that needs clamps due it 4...

A little snow at the beginning, then mostly sleet the rest of the day. It's still sleeting now. The roads are going to be a real show in the morning...

Waiting to see if we get enough snow to put the snow tires one and go for a ride. It's getting pretty white, but hasn't covered the field grass...
