Few questions

[BiGDawG]

I have a 84 Honda 200x, i be leaves its a 84 it has kick start only but anyway i've owned it for a few months now, was in a car accident shortly after i got it so haven't rode it much (broke my humorous bone) but i'd like to do a tune up before winter, just wondering what type of oil it takes, and i have a few spark plugs that came with it i'm going to look over and make sure are good, i also ordered a new air filter.. anything else i should do.. i will ride it in the winter just not as much as i will in the summer

In the winter months I run Valvoline 4 stroke motorcycle 10w40.

I always put 10W-30 into mine. 10W-30 would be a good oil for every day use.

As far as other tuneups, putting in a fresh plug, cleaned air filter, and cleaning the carb are all simple things that can keep it running in tip top shape :)

sounds good.. how many quarts do they take?

Also, to determine what year Honda it is, one only has to look on the steering stem ;)

If that is your trike in your sig, then it's 83-85.

83-84.....85s have a blue seat and blue fork boots...get a UNI air filter....good stuff

^Oh, yeah that's right :)

So it's either an 83 or 84. Like I said look on the neck.

[BiGDawG]

yea that's mine in the sig, i'll have to look on the neck that would be around the headlight area right? lol as for the filter dunno if anyone has tried it but for around $20 i went ahead and got 1 off ebay just waiting for it to come in the mail

also while i'm thinking about it how can i tell if my rear shock is bad? seems no madder how heavy or light the rider is the fender seems to be way to close to the tires
