[snakpacs]

before i start, the pics will be up next week. alright so i own a tired 86 200x. blew the rear shock so sent it out for a rebuild. being as its slow at work im on cl a good portion of the day. found a blaster in a basket. full fmf exhaust good wire harness the whole shootin' match. for 200 bucks. looked over at the x and said wtf why not. stripped both bikes today. prolly take about 5-6 hours worth of fab and the x will have the proper amount of strokes. best part... budget was set at 400 bucks for the project. picked up the blaster for 200, took all the parts i needed for the swap and sold the rest for 250. up 50. today was a good day. these are just mach ups, mounts will be made somethime this week!

Very cool project. On my to-do list some day is a cr125 powered 200x.

I had a blaster/ 200x, I was dissapointed about the power.. But I think it was just a tired motor and poorly done swap, if u do it rite it will be a great ride

Much better frame choice!!

I want to see pics of this process, I have been wanting to see someone who has done it completely, and what kind of power you get over the stock 200x motor.

The time I remember on a Blaster, it didn't really feel all that powerful, especially in 6th gear when it would bog down going downhill, but maybe that's because it's about 50lbs heavier than a 200X

a typical blaster may not be real powerful, but thats because most are ridden by kids or small adults on a limited budget.. the blaster engine has loads of upgrade potential. And with any 2-stroke swap the execution of the pipe alteration makes or breaks the success of the swap.. You can lose alot power real quick with a hack job pipe.

My ex had one, we threw on an exhaust, jetted it up with the oil injection blocked off and removed the air box lid; It was very quick at that point and look at all the stuff Vito's offers........

The factory injection is very rich.

sure is! im doin the swap at work. didnt feel like having to bring home tools and forgetting stuff. plus with a torch, welder and some fresh eyes around to solve any issues i come across is always nice! the only hard part is gonna be to find the time to get down to fazio's to get some steal plate for the mounts haha the place gets nutts sometimes

People always put the Blaster down.The machines biggest downfall is the brakes.With just a pipe and some other little mods it was a pretty quick machine,especially for a kid.So in a lightweight 3 wheeler should be a fun machine.Always thought it would be fun in a 200x.There is alot of both laying around.Hardest thing will probally be the pipe.At least one that will help the motor run better.
