    It had a little bit of top end noise but nothing that would indicate that!

    can't kill a honda

    Went ice fishing about 10yrs. ago. My buddys bother was having a birthday, so we went the next morning. They loaded up the shanty that had rails, tied a rope to the 200X and rode out on the ice. I walked cause the lake was across the street. They made it to the middle of the lake and the ice broke.They fell in, 3 wheeler and all. My buddy untied the rope and the 3 wheeler float upside down. They held on to the honda til lots of firemen and help and about an hour later they were out. Some how the 3 wheeler disappeared. The next spring they fished it out, drained the engine, dryed it, cleaned it up and it still runs today. Beets

    The only people who can kill a Honda (three wheeler) are those who I call "triketarded." They come in two flavors: individuals who think that 3 wheelers are cool, but have never ridden one before, and when they ride yours, they do exactly the opposite of what you told them to do, and peeps who think that trikes are "the devil." A good example: the other day I was sliding around the yard on the ice and whatnot, and my Dad was watching. I take a break and he comes over and hops on my X, and I tell him: "watch out for that spot on the driveway where there's no ice, if you hit it while sliding you'll flip it." Sure enough, he hits it. Luckily he was trying to copy my body movements so he was at least leaning in the right direction. He still got the inside wheel a good foot and and a half/two feet off the ground. He also was kicking it/riding it like a 2 stroke, and he kept hitting snow banks with the rear wheels because well, I guess he forgot they were back there.LOL Long story short, if you want to kill (at least almost kill) your Honda, let somebody with no clue ride it!
    Rides I own:
    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    I had a '83 Honda 200e that only had one compresion ring on the piston when I bought it, and it still ran, but smoked badly. To fix it I got a used piston with used rings on it, which never seated right in my cylinder, so it smoked so badly that if the wind was right and you where a little ways away, you would have trouble seeing it, literaly. It some how still had great compresion.

    I had an 84 big red that ran without idle screws and jets when the float was messed up and battered. We attempted to pull down a large tree limb with it which ended in the branch falling on the trike cracking the fenders and ladder rack but the machine kept running.... sooo many fun times

    reminds me of my first ride on a 3 wheeler. no idea what it was..it was red, i was young. I let my foot drag..rear right grabbed my boot and snow pants. I panicked and hit the gas. ripped the leg off my snow pants..pulled me off the bike and ran myself over...bike kept goin down the driveway..with my amazed friends all watchin
