    How to make a 200x faster

    I just bough a very nice 200x very good condition but this thing is slow. I have never rode one were they all slow like this i would sya this thing will only do 40mph is there anything i can do or is this machine always going to be slow also they feel like they need a sixth gear it feels like it has more motor just runs out of gears

    Well, it sounds like you just answered your own question. Change the gearing. Of course the tires have something to do with gearing as well. If you change one of your sprockets and soon change your rear tires, then it may very well mean you will have to change your gearing again.

    Also, what size rear tires are on it? 22" is stock, but some people put on 20" or even 18". That'll gain you power but drastically reduce top speed.

    Stroke it, bore it, run on alcohol, run an XR200 6 speed tranny and run a turbo with an accelerator pump carb. That'll boost the power.

    i ran a gps on my friends 1983 200x, original motor, no muffler (fell off), 20" rear wheels and i could hit about 48mph on the dirt, might be something wrong with your engine.
    my 200x has a fresh top end, look at sig, and its still slow, i havent used the gps yet bc i busted my pulse generator but i could pace my truck and my car on the asphalt around 53mph with stock gearing and a 22" rear tire. i know that car speedometers are always off but i know its much faster than my friends stock 200x

    Not impossible, but of course it wouldn't be a stock bike, not by a long shot...

    14/37 gearing works awesome with 18 inch tires (assuming the motor is strong). Mine had mostly just bolt on mods and with that size tire and gearing it moved along just fine.
