Still looking good. Know what you mean about the swingarm, it was a 2 person/2 hour job on my R.

. If it'll move at all, it's going to come out, but may take a little back and forth, some Kroil, and a few days.
I've got a front fork leg, where the axle is loose, but seized in the spacers to the point I even installed a grease fitting into the spacer and that still wouldn't allow grease under pressure to go through. I've got to save something and it'll be the fork leg, so I'm to the point of cutting the axle to do it, if I can't groove the spacer. I've been at it for months, off and on, with soaking, heat,

Got to the point of sealing cases and my Center gasket doesn’t fit. Package is marked 86-87 200x.
Need to order another but how do I know what’s right? This was a namura set.

Well, ordered another gasket so waiting for that now.
I ended up changing my mind on keeping it stock, I’m building it with more of a blue theme.
Got most of the bits painted now and halfway through the frame. Still need to blast the front hub which seems to be baked hard as.
Shocks will be rebuilt this coming week and hopefully I get my gasket.

It's probably good that you're a world away, because if you were my neighbor I'd go broke hiring you to paint stuff, lol. Nice work.

Haha, the blue one is not great to be honest. I messed up in a couple of places. And I paint outside. It’s.... challenging.
Got the bottom end assembled, and oil cooler connections drilled (streesssssssfulllll).
Back to waiting on parts now. Need oil seals so I can carry on.

New swingarm bolt out of 316 stainless made as well.
The Namura gasket kits being sold on eBay are wrong for 86 in case anyone else is trying to find some. They don’t fit the right hand and Center cases. Got mine from CMSNL instead.

Catch me if you can
The 86/87 200X bottom end is pretty strong, the only failures I find are the gear shift plate, and they seem to break allot; Between Shep and I we must have 3 dozen of them
Biggest issue is people stripping the LH crank nut on every used crank you find and I never did find a rod that fits, many are just a couple mm's off.
It's looking great, and it's got be hard for you to get parts where you are. You'll be psyched when it's done and nice and tight.
I recently picked up another aftermarket 83/83 250R axle, slides right in the 200X carrier!
LMK if you have trouble finding anything, I know that machine very well....

Thanks, that info on the axle is great to know as I had to literally grind mine to bits during disassembly.
Been looking for an 86 axle but seems cheaper to buy a new dura blue on eBay.
To add to the info on that gasket set the left side cover is also wrong. So just totally incorrect for the year.
Parts are hard to get locally for sure.
Anyone have a complete seat available? That’s the one major bit I didn’t get with it.

Is it hard to shift? I found the pictures in the service manuals super confusing in the trans pages. Especially with the right and left side cogs on the drive side, which can be put on either way. The pictures show a recess on both sides. Mine are flat on one side and recessed on the other.The 86/87 200X bottom end is pretty strong, the only failures I find are the gear shift plate, and they seem to break allot; Between Shep and I we must have 3 dozen of them
The diagrams look deceivingly like they should be the opposite to the actual way they go. At least that’s what I’m thinking.
Once I got it the right way everything is super smooth and low effort.
I’ve got an old 200 as well and I’m sure I’ve got one of those cogs on the wrong way. It’s a bear to shift.
Final pic shows the left gasket being a sh$t left gasket.

Annnd more parts that don’t actually fit the 86. This time an engine seal kit from vertex.
Clutch lifter fits, that’s about all I’ve found so far.

Btw, I only run Vesrah gaskets on my hondas. Perfect fit, everything. No messin around with cheap chinese junk. Looks great so far.
Dirtcrasher can probably hook ya up with the oil seals you need, he offers kits for different bikes.
