1985 200x ATC that is.....I dunno I grew up riding these and haven't had one in years and found this for $300. It needs a little work but I wanted something to work on so it's perfect. I'll be posting photos as I go and keep you updated (if you're interested).

So far I know it needs (so if you have any of this please contact me!)

Pulse Generator Cover
Valve Job
Bolts to hold the gas tank down
Bolts to hold the pegs down
Bolt to connect break leaver to break arm (by the kick start)
Muffler

Hmmm the sticker on the frame says '85?

**inv3ctiv3** · 07-31-2009, 12:08 PM

Also mine has a twist throttle and not the thumb throttle is that standard? All the other ATC's I have ridden had thumb throttle?

No, the twist throttle is aftermarket. All the 200x's from the factory had a thimb throttle stock.

Damn I wish it still had the thumb throttle, is that something that would be an easy replacement? I don't like twist throttle as much.

the 1985 200x had a blue seat and blue in the tank decals ....... seat isn't honda so odviously that has been changed and maybe the tank was also changed .... the twist is easy to change out ... just get new grips and find a thumb on e-gay ...

Yea it looks to be kind of a mashup of trikes so we'll see. I just won a fresh head with a fresh valve job on it! The old owner said it needed a valve job so I am on my way. I am looking at getting a new carb on eBay as well...

And yes I am on BF.C haha, I posted a thread about this in OT

I thought I saw it somewhere, small world I guess!

I think I have a pulse cover and the footpeg bolts, and if you can get a pic of what brake bolt you mentioned Ill see what I can come up with there too.

Sweet thanks man! Let me know what you want for it all and I'll paypal you!

It basically is a pin that connects the brake pedal (on the right side) to the brake mechanism. So when you hit down to hit the brakes it pulls the brakes.

**inv3ctiv3** · 07-31-2009, 02:25 PM

This is the throttle it has on it....I'll grab upclose and non-phone pics tonight or tomorrow of all the stuff it needs.

dont worry auto xer has no idea about 200'xs

**inv3ctiv3** · 08-01-2009, 11:47 AM

Well last night I got the motor out and the new head should be one it's way along with a ton of other parts. It has a twist throttle but I prefer thumb throttle so I need to order one of those.

and BTW I need whatever holds the sproket to the output shaft....Anyone have this?
