    200E - Wont work cause of the electric starter in front
    200SX - wont work unless it's a chain drive (200SX's were shaft I think??)

    A regular 200 or 200S should bolt in. I have heard of putting a 185/200 in a 200X frame for an 'auto-x' project, so I guess a 200X might fit too. Will need to modify the carb/air intakes.

    The 200sx won't fit because the motor is a different design. Your options ( trike / quad motors ) are 185, 185s, 200, 200s. The 86-87 125m's use 428 chain so with out mods they won't work.

    A 350x in NY have you tried a 200e engine? I thought about the starter but if its similair to the other frames it should fit? Yeah I want more speed out of it. Was hoping for reverse too, but High low might be the only cool upgrade after I add a few cc's. I dont want to 125 (too small)
