Hey all. My friend took his engine (200S) to a honda dealer around here. The guy he bought the trike from said it smoked and didnt get over 5mph before it quit on him.
The honda dealer says its around $250 for new piston rings and whatnot, but they say it still might smoke when they are done. Or they said for $600 he could get it bored out and whatnot, totally redone.
My question is: Is it worth it? What route should we take? Should he just look for a new engine, off of ebay or something? He doesnt want to spend over $250 on his engine, because we are just trailriding for fun and stuff.
What would you do?
