1982 honda 200x

[Rebel Customs]

Bought one of these today to find it has a blown piston litterally in 5 large pieces. Metal came out the drain plug along with some other crap. Motor has been sitting a while judging by the dust on the piston. It has a cracked cylinder skirt and my question to yall is what should i do? Is the sleeve a replaceable part or am i better off getting a new motor??? Im more interested in dollar amounts as i had hoped this would be a cheep toy.

Hey there and welcome.
The following words should light up as a link to the book: service manual

Also, the search key is working great these days so if you keyword
200x piston sleeve jug etc tons of pages should come up
about people who have been through this over the years.

Wonder if the crank and rod are ok.
Maybe get away with a top job.

It would be nice to know if the gearbox shifted good before a lot of engine work.

ps
a lot of people go with whats called an auto x
Since there are millions of 185 and 200 automatics, they apparently fit right in.
Brake pedal needs some special attention but that a good search key word too:
auto x

not trying to bust your balls but......1st gen 200x's ran from 1983-1985...2nd gen 86'-87'....so either you have your years wrong..or model # wrong

Mine has a red frame and red body panels which all look origanal so im guessing first gen. I looked for an I.D. tag on the frame and cant find one? I know the second gens had reverse and 6 speeds but are the top ends identical???

Sticker may be on the headstock hiding behind a fistful of wires and cables.

There is also a way to see what it really is with some sort of vin decoder which can be found on this site somewhere too.

See if the search key works for you.
If not, I can try .

Well went ahead and ordered a used jug and piston for 50 bucks. Paid for a top end overhaul from G&H off of ebay for 150 and bought a new sproket and chain set. Should be a start to a very long list of needed parts and TLC!

I always see g&h recommended on here.
The hardest part is trying not to buy everyone that comes up for sale.
I have enough trikes for 2 more generations but just saw 2 1987's listed for 600$.

Wonder why that piston fractured?
Maybe sucked a chunk of water and the rest of it is ok?

No 200x ever had reverse.

No 200x ever had reverse.

The 86' models did

No they didn't. 250sx, but not the 200x.
