I got a 200s and Ive done some stuff and I was wondering how much hp Im cranking out?...Ive got it bored .20 over, 10:25:1 pisotn, Custom pipe, 200x carb, and a xr200 cam. I also took the spark plug boot off and ran it straight from the wire with a piece for the plug and a rubber boot to cover it...has anyone done this?... I noticed it felt like it had more power is this possiable or is it just me?

Teaching quads a lesson
Stock is around 10 or 11hp - a 192cc 200X puts out 12hp. I would say you are around that if not slightly higher. My '84 ATC200S had the Wiseco medium comp. can in it as well as a DG RCM and it had no trouble hanging with first gen 200X's. As far as the spark plug boot goes - I think you're nuts - but - anythings possible. It could have been inhibiting spark is some way I guess. You are better off with it on there though if you ride anywhere near water.

Just too addicted
No, its not just you, its real. Thats one thing done to my R. Get the plug resistance close to the coil resistance and all will be well in the universe. Put a non resistor plug in and it wont run worth a tinkers doodle.Originally Posted by 86200s

Just for fun, try a non resistor plug and see what happens.
