    electric start 200x project

    I trying to put an electric start 200 style engine on my 200x but all I can find are the 200e engines with have the high-low sub transmission on it and will not fit at all. The starter hits the front frame bar but that I can make that work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    you mean like a 200 br with shaft drive? 1984?
    I've never seen a br chain drive in person but it sounds interesting.

    I DO have a 200 pull start in a 200x frame and there is tons of info
    on those.

    I Bought a parts 200x one time that had a chain drive 200 Big Red engine on it. The down tube on the frame was notched out and rewelded to clear the starter and there was some grinding cutting that was done on the left side chain adjustment/swingarm pivot bolt mount in order to clear the high/low gearbox.

    To cool thanks, I will look at all the options. I was sad but now I love my 200x again... Looks like the cfr230 has a cable clutch and the lifan is an auto. I like the lifan, does anyone have one? Does it run good ect...

    I've never seen an 'm' in person but aren't there a few
    different electric start engines without the hi lo that would fit?

    I love my auto 'x' by the way. Most people do.
    Seems way lighter than an sx.

    I like the Lifan idea, I think the charging system is better than the old Honda stuff. I have a 200e engine I was trying on the 200x. It looks like all the Lifan 200cc are shifted with a cable and I really want an auto.

    So does anyone have 200cc Lifan that they run? Is it dependable and worth buying?

    This is the one I have my eye one: http://www.tboltusa.com/store/lifan-...f1b6d2b663bb0f

    So far my Honda 200s has NOT been reliable and needs work now. I have rode a Lifan power motorcycle ans it was very good and ran great. The Honda stuff is just hard to get Just rite and it hold up. Possibly the Lifan could be more reliable, blasphemy I know but still possibly true.

    I thought there was a 230 that was a direct fit. Would like more info on the subject. Anyone have any? Tried doing a search on here and it didn't give me anything.
