200x is together with minor aches/ throttle questions

**Oldshell4481** · 10-06-2005, 06:50 PM

well i pieced my 200x back together, she aint that pretty... well i got a motor off of 90nut and i finally got the last pieces on tonight and fired her up for a test run...

well it started up after about 5 kicks and revved to the moon, i panicked and let off the clutch and didnt know the trike was in gear so it shot off and i rode up my cellar door and about 5-8 feet up my house and landed with my trike on top of me. minor aches and scratches but im extremely happy that it runs.

i need to find a thumb throttle assembly and a new cable and i should be mint. my question is will any thumb throttle off of a 4 wheeler work on this as long as it fits the bar??? and if i found one would the stock 200x cable work on it??

Sure you didnt put the slide in the carb in backwards? the little cutout should be facing the idle screw.

pretty much any thumb throttle will work

you should check and see if your throtle cable is to tight if it is not make sure that your slide is in the correct direction, i have a nice handle bar scar from when we put a slide in wrong on my ct-70

well the cable is visibly junk, i may have put the slide in backwards also.. the cable has no piece that goes on the carb top to it, the throttle wont automatically return back to idle position at all, and i hate twist throttles.

dissassemble and dignose, un hook the casble both ends make sure its free and moving and jst do piece by piece, ps next time listen for the throtle slide to close, i do thios before i start any quad or trike.

the slide dropped all the way down to where it should be its just the cable sticks and is all messed up

Didn't anyone else find that funny? I sure did!

I can just picture that

Was anyone watching?

If you had that on tape you would of won the $$ award on one of those funniest video shows.

Could you do it again and have someone video that?

Is your house brick or siding?

haha i thought it was hilarious just cuz i was so excited to have it running, we have wood panels, im not doing it again lmao. no one was watching but my mother ran outside and i told her it was just the trike that did it and i wasnt on top of it lol, she believed me.

i got a nice cable if ya want to throw it on and try it out with a good cable?

**Oldshell4481** · 10-07-2005, 07:46 AM

i sent you a pm about your trike your parting out, do you have a nice thumb throttle to go with it?

**Rm250RF900R** · 10-07-2005, 02:49 PM

lol your lucky on that one. If the trike was outside it would of took off and probably hit something very hard.

**Oldshell4481** · 10-07-2005, 08:35 PM
