86 200X with a 250? 6 speed kicker motor, every seen or own one???

Hey guys the title says it all, i found a not very clean 200X and it has what i think is a 250X motor but i'm not sure. The left side of the head has a rectangular plate on it that says honda, left side chain, right side kick just like it should be but it doesn't look like my old 200x motor, and its a 6 speed according to the case.

So if its a 250x motor is this a common swap? Looks like an old flat tracker with bald trailer/mower tires on the rear very dry rotted, and the fork tubes are slid up into the triples to lower the front a few inches. also has a durablue axle, i didn't have my camera with me for pics...

Well the 86-87 200x's were 6 speed's

Sounds pretty cool, TC. I'd like to see it. Are you going to get it?

Oh well then maybe its the original motor, my 84 had a round aluminum plate on the side of the motor, and this one has an aluminum plate on the head thats rectangular and held on by 3 bolts if i recall. I didn't look it over too close but that would be cool if its the stock motor.

I'm gonna try to get it, but i really need another bike like another hole in my head. I'll let you guys know more when i find it out...

83-85 and 86-87 were 2 very different motors.

The 86 200X engine number will be TB05E-6300001~. The TRX250X engines were TE13E-8000001~. Check the number & it will tell you. If it's not either of these, let me know what it is, and I can tell you.

the 250x was a 5 speed anyway and way to large to fit with out major fram mods


its the stock motor

Sounds like you just haven't seen many 86/87 200X motors, look on EBAY an compare some.

I'll try to do some pic hunting, and i will get the #'s off the machine. I asked him if it was a 200 before i saw it and he said it was a 250. Down here i know they have a class that races up to 250cc so it made sense. But maybe he just doesn't know enough about it, claims he has a ton of money in the motor and its all fresh so i will make up my mind once i can ride it. It's a cool machine and all but paying over 500 for a project that needs plastics, most likely 100% of the bearings, forks rebuilt, missing front brakes etc. is too much when a nice one can be found and already done for 1200+, maybe even less if you're patient.
