200x front end-fixed w/pics

[bigb9582]

hey yall. i just put a 85 200x front end on my 250sx. everything worked out great just its a little hard to turn. im gonna grease the bearings tomarrow (i didnt have grease to do it this time) but my question is how tight are you suposed to make the bearing holder nut thing (it is round and has 4 notches in it)? i made it as tight as i could get it. but when i took it off the junk 200x and the 250sx it wasnt that tight. should i tightin it the whole way then loosen it a little?

Are the bearing races the same?

they looked to be the same when i put it back together.

nevermind i fixed it. i greased the bearings and now it turns smoothly.

btw here are some pics of my 85 250sx-x. its got a 85 200x front end and rear plastics and it has a front fender off a yamaha 200. the plastics are temperary until i find a good front and rear.

Awwww, look at that big smile on your face because you have a front disc brake!! I barely use the rear brake now that I run 200X front ends on my SX's.

im just happy to have front brakes now. i had no brake hardware in the front of the 250sx before it just had a brake drum. so yeah im happy with front brakes and the disc brake now is a bonus. haha
