    New Trike (updated pics)

    Finally got the 200x all together. It runs pretty good after an oil change, new plug and carb rebuild. Just got the new tires and rims on tonight.

    Yes that is a 350x headlight on it. I love the look of these lights.

    I'm still waiting on the new chain adjusters and front and rear master cylinders.

    My wife is having trouble starting it so if anyone has any tips on how someone who weighs 105 lbs can kick one over I'm all ears.

    It appears the rear axle is also bent so I'll post a need for one in the classifieds.

    I said previously I was trying to stay around a $500 budget but I'm pretty sure I'm over it. I'm kinda scared to add all the receipts.

    About any local machine shop can straighten that axle for about $15-$20.

    As for getting it started, start feeding that poor girl!

    I'm not sure if the piston is stock or what. The guy I got it from told me the top end was rebuilt but no details. Where do i get the cover with the decomp. lever. Anybody got one?

    LOL. She eats as much as I do. High metabolism? I'll check some local shops but the threads are kind of iffy on the left side. I'd feel safer with a new one.

    You need the specific valve cover that has the manual decompression release. 200es I think it was. The 200x side cover does not have the built in into it,like that of a 350x or 86-87 200x.

    . You can also look into, putting it up to the handlebars so that she doesnt have to reach over/under everytime either.

    On this trike, you should have a sweet spot as well, aprox half way down right after it hits the lobe, tell her as it hits this, it is not the weight it is the speed of the kick.

    LOL I only get mine every few times as well.

    VERY NICE TRIKE!!!

    Jenn is correct on the Valve cover> however, to broaden your search, you can also use, 81 (and some 82) ATC 200 (not S models) 82-83-84 BigReds and the 200M is the same. all have the manual lever that should make starting a little eaiser. Oh, Looks great as well.

    Thanks guys. I'll look more into the decomp later. Turns out the gearing is f'd up. Trouble shifting into second and third gear. Any ideas? I've never cracked the case on one of these and am kinda afraid to.
