Best suspension on 2nd gen 200x for mx

[83_200e_rider]

+ 6 is perfectly fine for racing.

It would technically be +9 for the second gen since the first gen is is already 3 inches longer, but I thought it would probably be ok if the first gen uses them

You can throw 22" tires away from any track 18's only. Just put in a 2nd gen 250R axle in it and throw 400ex hubs on it with 8inch 3in 5out offset rims. You will be about 47" inches then. That's enough to get the feel of how the turn / slide when they are wide.

Do you have a stock 84 250r you would be able to get me the measurement of? I was leaning towards an extended one because hopefully it wouldn't be 35 years old

No I don't. Stock 83-84 250R's were 44" on centered 8x8 rims. Just like a stock 200X was

Your 86-87 200x hubs are the same as trx250x/300ex/400ex so no point buying more.
I sell these if you want to try them, cant really loose money if you like racing and want to resell them.

a plus 4 axle but if you use your offset hub you only really need plus 2. They make extended hubs also. Many options out there. There's prob about 2 people who will pay this for an axle...considering I wont that's why I modifed my swinger for a +4 300ex axle I got new for $180 with life warranty.

Alright thank you, I was thinking about ordering these rear wheels. Not sure where the .5 comes from? http://www.motosport.com/itp-t9-pro-...mmy_source=pdp

[oldskool83]

they are 3inch in and 5.5inches out from the center of the wheel. They will work fine. I just run OEM LT450R rims now. I've had them before and they are fine.

http://www.motosport.com/rock-aluminum-wheel I have these on my banshee and the fit and finish and strength is just as strong as ITP. Aluminum is Aluminum .125" rims stay away from, they taco and do not last at all.

I liked LTR450 oem rear tires the best, they slid awesome

Yea would love to have that but that's way too much.. Maybe one will pop up on eBay for $300 id buy it then haha

You know a 2nd gen 200x axle carrier area is only about .25" narrower then a 300ex one. Uses same bearings you'd just need to spacer over rear rotor hub assembly. Its not hard to do this stuff. 1st gen was way harder then 2nd gen. I put a 300ex axle in a 2nd gen already to prove it works but that's all.

Im using a plus 6 Durablue from an 82 atc 250r. Its a direct Bolton using 82 250r sprocket. Im planning to upgrade to either 2nd or 3rd gen 250r frontend. I have a DG plus 2 swingarm going on the back with either 83 or 84 250r rear shock. The rear of my 200x is 48 inches . Good suspension with slight modded motor is best to start MX racing with. Im running 18 inch rear tires.
