    Powroll has been down for approximately 5 months and don't know for sure if they are ever coming back. I can't even get a hold of them on the phone. Unfortunately you will have to piece the "kit" together for a complete rebuild. There isn't a one stop shop for all things 200x. All of the parts I used for my rebuild came from Ebay and/or Bike Bandit. Below are some of the parts I used.

    Gasket Kit (I only use Versah as they are within Honda OEM Specs):
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-1983-1...538392&vxp=mtr
    Bearings:
    You will need to piece these together from bike bandit. Most are readily available except for the 20MM needle bearing that the transmission counter shaft rides on. If you think you need that bearing, contact me when you get to it and I will let you know where I sourced my bearing from

    Cam:
    If you want a better cam but not upgrade your exhaust or airbox go with this one: http://www.webcamshafts.com/pages/at...10_000084.html
    If you want a better cam and you are upgrading your intake, exhaust valves and springs, go with this one (Note, this cam requires that you flash chrome your rockers part number HR-H14): http://www.webcamshafts.com/pages/at...10_000085.html

    Valves / Springs / Retainers:
    Go here; http://www.webcamshafts.com/index_bl...le_search.html
    If you are running the upgraded cam (second link above), then you want the part numbers below
    VC-H2T
    IV-H13
    EV-H14

    Piston: Personally, I get my cylinders mic'd by a machine shop and then I buy the cylinder on the next overbore and finally I have the shop match the cylinder to the new piston. Below I have placed a link to a 10.25:1, 1MM overbore piston. If you just want the shop to bore the cylinder to match and not go through the trouble of mic'ing the cylinder then this one could be for you.

    the easyiest way to make some power is the following

    rebuild motor, have it bored for 10.25:1 wiesco piston. screw powroll, they make high HP which is cool but honestly into todays world not many are going to spend that on small motors to run race gas. Theres a reason the sites down. Stay with weisco who own the market in rebuilding motors.

    3rd buy a new xr200 cam, its a bolt on, has more lift revs more, and a full exhaust, maybe even an XR200 carb. It will feel like a powerful bike but hey be realiable and not cost 2 grand to rebuild the motor.

    theres way more you can do, rebuild shocks, or swap out for 250R suspension but so far im the only one with the master mind know how to get 10" of travel out of a 200x so it feels like a 250R....i can however sell you that technologry if you have money. If you dont focus on the motor and maybe some good tires and shock rebuild.

    Fst has a BB/Stroker kit for the 1st gen X. I've talked to Powroll twice in the last two weeks. Had to leave a message both times, but, they called me right back. Far as I know, they are not ditching any of their old kits. I'm going to do their BB for the 350x. But, if all you are looking for is a damn good reliable engine, that makes very good power, do Yeager and oldschool said. Can't beat a good mild build that makes fun power.

    I am getting ready to do a conversion on my 200X's swing arms and set them up like 250R's and a plus 4. It will take me a little work but it will be worth it.
