put the stickers on please

[Dirtcrasher]

Stickers suk, every time I put them on and spend my hard earned money on them the pressure washer blows the pricks off..... I ride and I don't wash my bike with a sponge and bath brush

I'd rather blow money on motor mods

I first met DC at the top of devil's backbone after the poker run, so the first look I got at the fresh X build was very mud-covered.

Also, in true Dircrasher form, within 5 minutes of meeting him he said to me, "We really gotta spread the word and get people to stop tearing their trikes apart without a manual."

So very true. I have been laughing about this for a week now - you da man!!!

Thanks bud! I'll bet I missed a few members at Tfest. Ya just get talking and riding and even a week is not enough.... GREAT to meet the guys I met

It's just frustrating about the manuals. With this board and the manuals available, NONE of us shouldn't be able to get our beloved ATC's running and lasting for years to come. Too many guys just want to ride and ruin parts in the process. These parts WILL dry up and it will be allot tougher for us to keep things running. But, with all the guys building, fabricating and experimenting, I do believe I won't have to give up on wheelers in my lifetime......

I'm constantly buying parts I "might need". And there really are a ton of OEM parts still available, I suggest you guys get off your wallet and buy them once in awhile so HONDA keeps making them!!

Eric, those are the stock 85/86 350X boots. I believe the 200X legs are 3mm or about 1/8 inch smaller than the 350X but fit the bottom perfect and the clamp on top snugs them up fine with no play. I do thing BTpage on EBAY has some great boots, been running them on the SX for about 5 years but OEM boots just look fantastic!!

You cleaned her up nice man, that bike looked insanly nice in person! Great job!

[bigpimpin]

There are adapters to run the fatter bar for about 35$, They come in different heights also, so if you like your bars higher you can set it up that way.

You also asked and Pm'd and asked and begged and pleaded about the 200X Mikuni flatslide carb. J/K

Here is the 28MM Whitebros Mikuni flatslide carb installed. The throttle cable has to be changed and the rear boot has to be heated up to fit over the bell.






I've got a brand new one on the way, I just have to mimic the machining done by WhiteBros. I also since scored the correct Terrycable that uses the thumb throttle and the Mikuni flatslide.

The nice thing about this setup is that you'll get the performance yet retain the stock airbox. I ride in wet areas with mud, I just feel better with an airbox - no lid of course

I'll figure it all out sooner or later

PLEASE GO TO SERVICE HONDA AND PURCHASE SAID BOLT. I AM ASHAMED. TWENTY DAYS AND YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THIS? SERVICE HONDA IS YOUR *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* TOO? THEY LOVE YOU. YOU CALL UP AND ORDER TONIGHT!



Sorry Steve, Had to... I have been staring at BILLET all night long.....

[DeePa]

thats the bolt i forgot to torque down (supposedely) and he lost it at TF hahahah...

curse of deepa on him

[Dirtcrasher]

That IS the bolt that fell out! ........................ - Boooooooooh!! Bad boy, booooooooh!!! J/K

Honestly though - here's a tip for ya -

These EBAY "bolt kits" are not always 100%. That particular bolt is stock with a finer 10mm thread than the bolt kit gives you. There are at least one or 2 more critical bolts that are wrong too. If you drive them in, you'll ruin the OEM frame and or other threads. The Honda threads are a fine metric thread.

[honda250sx]

Please replace with OEM and repost. LOL HAHAHAHA.
