Does anyone know if every other 200 camshaft will fit? Mine isn't working, seized up. It's a 1984 200s.

Thanks

yeah. the one in my 200 custom has a pretty hairy grind. Ifs from an XR performance website. just about any will fit, might need to reset valve lash, but nothing major. You can even convert to roller bearing jounals.

For a little higher performance you can pick up a 83-85 200x cam, or an XR200 cam for even more. You can pick either up on ebay.

Edit: You should also find out why your original cam seized up in the first place. If not, your new one will probably seize too. A common reason for this is the oil passage to the head becomes plugged due to too much sealant used to seal the valve cover, or riding with the front tire in the air too long, thus starving the pump for oil.
