Hey guys! Stumbled onto this site surfing the web.
Own a 1984 Honda Big Red 200cc, soul owner from new.
Was driving it at a walking pace when it disengaged gear and stopped and no longer would move.
Any ideas?

Sorry, can't help with your question, but would like to know what it was like purchasing a new 200ES back in the day. That is my all time favourite trike. I was only 8 when they came out, but could only imagine what it would have been like to walk into the Honda showroom and purchase a brand new shiny ATC.

Make sure that the shift lever on the the subtransmission isn't stuck between high range and low range or between low range and reverse. On my 200es I sometimes have to rock the trike back and forth while shifting the sub transmission to get 'er in gear. Thats all I have, except for welcome to the site, and best of luck to you.

Yeah it was pretty awesome!
1984 at the London (Ontario) fair, bought it right then and there.
Had to wait until it was over to head back to the showroom to pick her up.
Thanks for the advice!
