First 200S EVER.
First gear she pops off the ground!! she didn't go very fast top end...maybe 30? The front tire was FLAT though that could be the problem...ill clean the carb tomorrow see if that helps at all back fenders were butchered as usual but it still came with the tool box on the back!! headlight broken...flat tire...$200 not that bad..Anything else i can do to get it to its top end?? i thought they did atleast 45?

Check the tires and clean the carb... It will go faster with a little love!

Congrats!

How do you like the downshift pattern? I own a 85 and it has the shifting pattern which most are accustomed to but some people just love the whole downshift thing.

Still trying to figure it out myself!
Found out the carb choke was broken off at full choke!!!
Fixed it, cleaned the carb, now she ROARS
I normally buy ATC's dirt cheap and re sell them on CL (Which i actually am making good money..over $1000 in the last month)
I buy anything with a motor on craigslist running or not running, and re-sell it for a greater value, it's been really good money for me..
I might keep this one...NVM ill probably re-sell it and make $300 easy
