Oil in the cover is normal.

Sounds like the regulator located on the rear of the frame is bad. Heres one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-HONDA-ATC-200X-1983_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116 QQhashZitem3a3b3d63fbQQitemZ250101982203QQptZMotor sQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

here we go some pics and brief history :)


my friend bought this like 10 years ago made some trail for 2 years or so and it was left for dead on is lawn :p ..... for like 5 years this bike havent run...

he open the engine and redone it this winter ... wanted to sale it in workin condition

its a work in progress i ve lots of thigs to do on it but it run right now !!

there a rear rack from probably another atc or big red but its fine and i plan to keep it since i do hunting with this trike.... i have to move it backwards a bit for easier seat removal without removing the rack...

the rear fender have been cut i think on the rear for that rack

i ve just redone the seat this week and i m waiting part for carb overhaul

it also need a full brake job , (master , caliper and so on)

i have the head light mount braket but have to find a headlight ....

the better its i trade my friend this bike for a brand new mower that i paid 25$ canadian repair it for 5 $ and a paint job on his shadow street bike so its about 200$ canadian for that bike :)... tire a real good engine redone so have to fix little thing ....... happy owner i am .....

i also will repaint the gas tank ..

thanks .... i ll try that but i ll wait till i get a headlight ... so many other stuff to do prior than that :P

[MonroeMike]

You are trying this with just the rear bulb?

[Bats]

yep since i got no headlight :P but i may put an ac regulator as well :) pay to learn i guess .....

i was surprised a bit that was ac voltage .... when i gas the bike it get around 18 volts

[MonroeMike]

My headlight burns out with no tail light in it, if I rev it up. I would imagine yours burns out immediately. It will probably be fine with two correct bulbs.

[Bats]

i see i tried the rear without front bulbs and it last not much than 30 seconds .... ill give a try at putting all bulbs and see ....

thanks again ... ill come back with results

AAAAAHHHHHH!!! A back breaker!!!! I mean rack.... Make it go away!

[AutoXer]

IDK I kinda like the rack on there it looks pretty legit...... any way you can run a rear light only and no front headlight if everything is working the way it should Freaksfix used to do this with his 200x because he had a numberplate he would run during the day
