Rod bearing differences for 200cc??

[Gabriel]

Are there differences in the rod bearing for different model 200cc Hondas?

I ordered a NOS bearing for a 200x because it was cheap and I ASSUMED (shame on me) that the cranks were the same. I ran the part number and it lists XR200 and TRX200 models but none of the ATC models.

Honda part # 91003-446-771 is what I received from the ebay seller. I have to go to local shop and press my crank apart. I was WANTING to press it apart and reassemble in one trip so I don't have to aggravate the guy using his tools.


Does anyone know? I will know for sure when I press it apart I guess. LOL!!

The 200x rod is the same as all the other ATC 200/185 rods, The xr bearing and rod are different , it doesn’t use the shims so it’s a few mm wider . If you can find an xr rod you could use it , the xr rods are beefier at the wrist pin area and were much better for a highly modified motor . Powroll ATC strokers used the xr rods .

Also so no confusion the 86-87 200x rod and bearing is completely different as well .

Ok, that makes sense.

No loss. I have a build in mind for the future that will make good use of it.
