My son, Onnie's & the one I ride. Onnie loves his 200x, it's faster than mine and no kids in town will even bother to race him. And as you can see in the pictures, this ten year old can handle this trike with ease. Should have my daughters pink auto-x built by next spring, one more for the club.

What pipe is that?

[Xpress]

Maybe someone can help me here. For some odd reason, my 200x just refuses to idle properly. When it does idle correctly, it's usually pretty high, and then it will die.

The engineless one is now just a frame and 200s engine on the garage floor waiting for me to finish my car project and get back to work on it.

[BIGREDGUY]

Play around with the fuel/air mixture screw on the bottom of the carb. Sometimes it helps to take it out a turn or two. Also, you should adjust your valves.

[Dirtcrasher]

Could be an air leak on the intake tube/orings etcf etc......

[harryredtrike]

clean your pilot jet out and make sure your intake boots are good and tight same with the exhaust pipe

[haggard 2hundie]

mine had trouble idling , it turned out somehow the throttle cable was to tight not letting the slide back in the carb causing it to idle HIGH or nothing at all plus i had a small crack on the intake tube . put some rtv on it and so far so good ?

[Xpress]

Intake tube looks to be in good condition, car has been cleaned thoroughly a few times, and the tank isn't spitting out anything dirty to clog a carb. It's got a good seal from what I'm guessing. Exhaust is tight too (as tight as can be).

It has to be something with the mixture, maybe I need to play with it a bit more..

[ron1576]

What you need to do is start the machine up and spray some starting fluid around the intake and o-ring area and see if it accelerates, that would indicate an air leak.

[Xpress]

^How about if it ignites? :p

[harryredtrike]

put your carb settings back to stock and go from there

[Xpress]

What is the stock settings?

[Daltons200x]

What pipe is that?

[Daltons200x]

Nice. How has that been working for you?

well i only rode on it for one weekend befor i locked up the motor lol. but it did give a noticable low end punch compared to the cobra i had. and it soounds a little more throaty than the cobra did without beein as loud

[Yamaha_Rules69]

Heres my 84 200x - auto X. What do you guys think about the tank scoops? I was shooting for more of a SRP scoop look, but this is what I came out with. Its nothing too special, just a bassani exhaust and 200x cam, and carb. The motor is out of a 185s, but really hauls for what it is, and is a great trail bike for around here. I have had this wheeler for many years, and grew up riding this machine.

I gotta get it off the trailer so I don't get all the crap hanging on the walls of the garage in the picture. It's looking pretty good these days thanks to some sandpaper and a couple of rattle cans of red and black paint. Pic's soon!

i cant remember did u put on an extended shing arm or just new wider axle?

[Grizzlypeg]

i cant remember did u put on an extended shing arm or just new wider axle?

Wider axle. Extended swingarm is still in the works. I have a spare I'm going to chop and extend. But part of me is reluctant, as I enjoy wheelies and I doubt I can still lift the front tire if I do it.

[Daltons200x]

what size are them rear wheels ?

they are 9" wheels and 18" tires

[Daltons200x]

thanks i really like the looks how bout the width ? 10" ?

[Daltons200x]

thanks i really like the looks how bout the width ? 10" ?

yup, and they are itp wheels with some pretty wicked offset like the trike on stock hubs with those wheels is just as wide as a 200x with 300ex hubs lol

[Stonecoldchavez]

My 1985 200x. After I put the 400ex hubs on. Right now it is at a shop getting a new Powroll piston and cam kit installed.

^And sweet gold rims :naughty:

[Grizzlypeg]

They had a good thing going with those 200x's. Light enough you can throw it into a pickup truck bed without ramps, gets 60 mpg, goes what about 55 mph, light and easy to handle, simple to fix and work on and motors that seem to have lasted a 1/4 century or more, takes only a litre of oil. A real keep it simple and have fun machine. Nice that we are able to still get parts for them easily.

[jonathanchevy]

Thanks and i understand it is a 86 got it out of a farm field 6 years ago restoring it has been a long time in the making

[Grizzlypeg]

A lot of really nice 200x's on here. I see that DG exhaust on the one of the above 200x's and I can't figure out why mine sticks out so far from the rear grab bar. I have the same grab bar (I believe PRM Baja) and the exhaust sticks out like 3-4" behind it. I'm afraid I'm going to drag it on the ground some time doing wheelies.

[dcreel]

[Grizzlypeg]

Dcreel, I have the exact same exhaust system. The sticker on it is the same. Is it an RPM exhaust? I can't figure out why mine sticks out further to the rear. Maybe it was intended for a different machine?

[dcreel]

Mine is a Bassani exhaust. The best exhaust made for a 200x.

[Xpress]

Where in the world did you get a Bassani??????

[jays200x]

After a 3 month rebuild I forgot how quick the 200x was on the trail, especially with an experienced rider in the seat. I needed the extra hp of the 350 to keep up. THE 200X is definately a worthy trail machine:twisted:

[dcreel]

Where in the world did you get a Bassani??????

Ebay of course..

Alright guys, 110CC pitt bikes are no problem for a 200X :lol:

A couple of cocky kids up here found me doing donuts in a dirt lot up here, and wanted to drag. I could tell they didn't believe me when I said I'd win.

I beat them in 3rd gear, and popped into 4th just to bring the RPM's down :lol: :lol:

thats awesome! my 13 yr old nephew thought he would beat my 200X on my sisters 300 polaris utility quad, poor kid didnt stand a chance . he gained a little respect for the almighty trike that day.

[honda82200]

i am new to my trike i have a 83 200x and i rode it today and it is very fast i was scared lol..but it was fun.i got it from my wife's grand paw it was stored at the farm and i got it down and got it running.. it runs like a dream..all i need is all new tires..and my next project is 2 82 200 they have also

[honda82200]

i got a question for yall who own 200x i change the oil today and i drain about 2 qurt out of it but the book says 1.1 qurts of oil what i suppose to put in?

[Grizzlypeg]

If you only remove the filter and kick it over a few times to pump some oil, it should only dump out 1 litre, unless someone overfilled it previously. I'd put just 1000cc's back in, start it up. Shut it down,then check the dipstick level.

[Xpress]

Yep, do that and you should be fine.

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8209/atcrespect.jpg

[honda82200]

i did not know that i put about 1and 1/2 qurts of oil back in it i did not kick it over to get the oil out..i clean everything so when i change it again i will do all of that i was thinking about putting royal purple in it? what yall think i am from new orleans la anyone from around here?

[ATC-RYDA]

a mass ride would be sweet! I'm in for that.

i'd like to join the club , im new here to the site and am just finding my way around !! Im gonna try to attach pics of my 2 -86's ... Hope it works ! Ill see if i can find a pic of my 85 also...

I would not put synthetic oil in a 25 year old bike. I think good quality dino oil and frequent changes will do it.

Someone needs to hook you up with an online version of the manual. It is very handy for everything from oil changes to repairs and adjustments.

[Mendomotox]

heres my '86

thats a chopped up XR500 front fender and an automotive baja light. the first pis is pretty old but i had to show she sees alot of action in riverbeds (FUN!!!!):cool:

[Mendomotox]

grizzlypeg, is that a licence plate i see?

[jfaulkner02]

For you guys asking ?'s about the "club". Its not the type of club you are thinking of. Xpress here decided to make a thread for all of us 200x owners. what he didnt know was that there is a place on the boards called "groups" where people make groups such as tecate, yamaha, whatever. So this isnt a bunch of guys who ride together all the time. lol. and for you new guys. welcome all. Geez! so far mine is the only project. lol Well, it will get done one day. Still in need of some parts though. Im sorry, apparently he DID know about the groups. But was thnking like a newbie...hmmm where would they look first? lol

[Xpress]

^I knew about the groups section when I made the thread- I chose to post here, since the tendency for newbs is to go straight for the forum and the threads ;)

Hey All...Here is my 83 200X http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww182/killakapilla/3wheeler.jpg

[Grizzlypeg]

grizzlypeg, is that a licence plate i see?

Yup, we have to plate our offroad vehicles. Snowmobiles, quads, etc. Unfortunately it doesn't include the right to drive it on the street. Just proves its registered with motor vehicles and we have at a minimum liability insurance. Its cheap, so no big deal.

[haggard 2hundie]

alright i got pics in my album on my profile but i cant get them here has anyone else had this much damn trouble ?

[haggard 2hundie]

finally i think i got it ? this pic is a little older , its got red fork boots on now , and a freshly spray bombed rear fender and the motor is alot cleaner. its an 86 that i payed 475 for and sooner or later , prob later ill get some before pics up , i need to get them from an old cell and transfer them to a comp. so all that will take me a while

[Xpress]

^Not bad, not bad at all!

[haggard 2hundie]

thanks i need to get updated pics up when its a little cleaner and i got the tank decals on now and the tank has since been painted so it pops a little more i also have the rear fender decals but i prob wont use them especially on a zipped up fender

[Grizzlypeg]

86' is a good looking year for 200x!

[haggard 2hundie]

its my favorite year , and i like the black seat and orange wings on the 84 i cant wait to get my new fender that will set it off and in the pics you cant really see the mongo tank dents oh well gives it character ! i still think grizzleys x is one of the nicest on here

The cable is far too long to be used without modification, of which I am NOT about to do. Half an hour of fiddling with it yielded no usable result.

[Xpress]

Okay, after futzing around with my new clutch cable, i said screw it, and put the old one back on. Turns out the exterior of the new clutch cable is about an inch too short, but the cable itself is the right length. Leave it up to some lame chinese manufacturer to screw everything up :rolleyes:

Anyways, my new tires are SOOO much better than the old balloons. Feels much more locked in, and in control in tight corners. Still working on getting donuts back down....

[Xpress]

The problem is the main body of the clutch cable is just too short, by about an inch or so, which is why it just will never work. I'd have to get a piece of brass piping or whatever to fit over the clutch handle end to allow it to work properly. And no, the adjustments aren't going to work.

[Highwayflyer]

got a 85 200x last friday, yall get ready for lots of questions, first question is. which ebayer has the best after market carb ? I see Zoo Zoom Parts has the cheapest

other than blowing our own horn about each 200X that has been built (even thought they are usually awesome). Does any one have a list of book marked 200X links or threads they could share? Sort of a built "holy grail" if you will of usefull 200X info? X-over parts, specks, how to's how don't?? I am pretty new to the borad and love both sites and would tottally cut and paste to my "faves" on my lap top to take to the garage.

Iam having some big problems with my bike, iam having horrible wobble with the wheels, and the front end wobbles so bad. Any ideas? Wheel bearings? Any ideas, i ordered new rotors because they are worped.

Iam having some big problems with my bike, iam having horrible wobble with the wheels, and the front end wobbles so bad. Any ideas? Wheel bearings? Any ideas, i ordered new rotors because they are worped.

Pull the front axle and inspect the bearings. I wouldn't ride it like that. It may be what wrecked your rotor, may wreck the wheel and eventually wreck you. If the bearings are good, check that they tightly fit the wheel and axle shaft. Gotta be some play in there somewhere. If there's no play, then the wheel must be bent.

[shortbus]

Forgot to add, the rear rims are bent, picking up rear rims and tires from a buddy today. This is really pissing me off!!! UPDATE: tired of playing the guessing game, ordered bearings all around, new rotors, hubs and calipers! this should fix it!

One of my 200X's. :naughty: This one has 350X front suspension and a 350X shock in a 200X swinger. Rides very well in the dunes. Actually, built it for riding in the open desert and general quick cruising.

[jeopardy98]

welcome aboard have you rode it much ? i wonder how the 85 compares to the 86

The 86 is nicer for sure but the 85 is still a lot of fun. The 86 is peppier and has the box frame plus I had a 350x front end on my 86. I also had an extended axle with holeshot's so it was quite different. This one is still a blast. It pulls up with me on the seat no problem through 3rd gear. Once I tune it she will rock out. I still will have a 250r one of these days though :)

[ron1576]

Don't use the whole can. A quick shot will do. There should't be a problem with ignition unless your carb is popping back at you due to wrong timing, or have an exhaust leak that is shooting flames.

what??????

[portland250r]

theres mine. i have been cheating on it with the 250r so i better give it more attention before it finds out.
i need to adjust the valve's and check the ignition timing or check the tube between the carb and cylinder for leaks.
and im going to need new fenders and seat which will cost at least 400$.
and there is a snapped bolt/thread in the cylinder where the pipe attaches so the pipes not fully on right.
i got a shop manual for it but i dont got the extra money right now for parts so i try to do what i can to fix it for now.

I am near Joliet. Originally, one of my brother's friends had bought a 250r about a year ago. I did some work for my bro's friend, and he owed me some cash. He could not pay me, so he gave me the 250r as payment. I am not a big fan of 2 strokes, just cause I like riding the trails where noise is a consideration and it was my first 3 wheeler. I was going to sell it, but Curt ( I think he is a member here, really nice guy) contacted me and said he had built the 250r and would like to get it back. He offered to trade the 200x for it. So, I traded it and have had no regrets. Love the suspension and seems to keep up with the quads. It is a blast to ride.......would like to upgrade to a 350x in the future.....

A 350X isn't much of an upgrade over a 250R, more like a 4 stroke equivalent, apparently (I guess it also depends on the year). Lots of people like them, mostly for their power, but for the guys that own 250r's, it's nice to just dump straight up pump gas in the tank, fire it up, and hit it :)

But if you want some nasty power, try a Tecate. Oh boy.. They'll scare you ;)

Ok sorry for the double, but I was wondering if I could get more opinions on what you guys think the value of my 84 X is.

Think I could pull $450 out of it? The pic is old, but it's got all new tires, and starts every time, no smoke!

I wound up getting into a sweet t3 deal, and all was going good until my stuff stopped selling. The good news is that I will easily be to get another X, maybe even buy mine back. So, you guys think I should go for it?

5 speed. Just some misc stuff for now. Brake kits, boot replacement, Repaint tank, etc

Cut the beads on the old tire, ripped the rim out of it, lubed up the new tire, shoved it into the rim, and then spent the next hour figuring out how to inflate it. Wound up cramming it between my jeep, a cinderblock, and putting my knee ontop and eventually got the beads to hook and inflated it :) My first tire change.
