    Should I make this trade?

    I found a 85 200X with a 200s motor on it (runs great), comes with the original 200X motor and a 8? Yamaha TriZinger 60? threewheeler, the guy wants to trade me for my 250SX. My SX has a burned up starter the shifter return spring is broke and the kickstarter wont engage anymore. It also has no front fender and the rear fenders are off of a 185s (It was like that when i bought it). The 200X he has needs rear fenders (these are cut) and the seat cover is torn up but it is drivable if you dont mind getting real dirty while doing it. I would say that it and the SX are in equal condition its just a matter of value and that little Yamaha thats making me wonder what I should do?

    A barely running sx, for two trikes and a spare motor??

    Trade, beat the zigger around while rebiulding the 200X motor, intsall it on the frame and pimp it out, restore the zinger, rebiuld the 200s motor, then go find an S frame, that should keep you busy for awhile, and I'm going to jump on the "get pics now" train:P
    If you can't fix it with a , its an electrical problem.

    85 ATC 200s--Ratted out and not running at the moment

    Nope it didnt work, again,someone is going to have to walk me through this.
    BigRedHead= The guy that i am considering trading the SX to is constantly trading through items. I keep enough money set back at all times so when i see a trike that i want, i go get it. He will more than likley not keep it more than a month or two but he will fix it, So i am thinking that I trade him, let him fix it and keep a sharp eye on him, and Ill get it back for a little more than i paid for it the first time, only this time around It will be working.

    I cant figure it out, I am not real good with computers in the first place, when they tell me I am doing something wrong or whatever i did doesnt work right, I just lean back in my chair and begin giving the computer a long hard stare because i know what i want it to do but have no idea how to do it.

    Maybe the admins are working on something right now. I did it right so I have no idea why it came out like that.

    Haha, yes, you are a genious. If you keep the sx, that is your project. If you trade, you have two more project's (200x and zinger) and one potential project (200s) plus keeping an eye on the guy to fix the sx and get it back like you said. Brilliant. DO IT!
