blaster motor in 200x...worth it?

[jostephy8]

I have a 1984 handa 200x. Was wondering if the blaster motor would be a worthwhile motor swap?

[SYKO]

Ive always wanted to put a blaster motor in a tri-z, lighter then the actuall blaster, would make a great trail rig.

theres a member here that wedged the suzuki pe 175 into a 200x ran good to, you should go for it!

probolly would be cept y not put a honda in a honda thats my thinking

[Daddio]

It may not be a Honda but you can get a buttload of performance parts for the blaster. I think it would be a worthy swap. Light and powerful.

brake pedal mounts to the motor. the guy who the put the pe175 in had trouble getting a rear brake pedal just to mount. Why not something more modern like a kdx 200 motor? water cooled yes but worth the fabing if you even put motor in... blaster motor is great but 30 year old motor...

stock. blaster motors are WEAK for a 200cc 2 stroke.....like 18 horse or something.

i would think a 125 dirtbike motor would be a much better choice.


if you have the blaster motor, GO FOR IT!!!!! just port the jug for better performance. they are ported very mildly, as they are extremely quiet stock.

I'm going the oposite way. 200cc lifan in a Blaster. Blaster motors are not bad, and you can certainly get a boat load of goodies for it. But I think you'll be happier with a lifan in there, plus it will be a lot less work, unless you already have the engine and hate yourself. The exhaust alone will be a work out.
Just an opinion.

I was thinking early years racing with the 200cc two strokes....
Where does someone find a Lifan motor anyway?

X2 I've been thinking about this as well. I think an aircooled KX125 or 175 would be pretty sweet in a 200X. It would be kinda tricky to wedge in there though, what with the bigger pipe and the way the swinger bolt goes through the case.

[Tri-Z Pilot]

the pipe could be fabbed by a good pipe builder, as for the swingarm/motor mount, i think the blaster motors were longer than x motors, so you could run into trouble there.

i am not one for cross bred machines either (i especially hate chevy motors in mustangs). i think a worked cr125 would be sweet, i believe they had some of those stuffed in 200x's back in the day (or were they R chassis's?). a stock blaster puts out 14hp i'm fairly certain. whats the average for a stock 125 these days?

[torker]

The newer 125 2 stroke / 250 4 stroke moto X engines put around 40hp +/- but are really expensive and require lots of maintainance, lots...

A Lifan 200 puts around 16-17 hp and are really reliable for what I've seen. Theyre really cheap to. around $400.00 new.

A Blaster motor could be a powerhouse with 240cc Vito's kit, but not really reliable. Kind of like a race only motor. Not trail worthy. Plus you still need the pipe done. And carb, reeds, piston, etc, etc, etc...
Could be a good project / option if you're willing to spend the $$$$$$.
The pipe itself will be as much as the new lifan.

Your call.

dunno about that, lonesometri-z had a 240 blaster out of his WHOLE fleet it was the most reliable machine, he sold it to a freind of mine and hes been riding it ever since without a hiccup.

[Tri-Z Pilot]

yeah 240's are fairly reliable and a great woods/trails motor, what you been smokin? jk.
i wouldnt use vito's stuff, i have heard horror stories about their ported pistons and other stuff. trenga would be the way to go, but i dont know if they are still in business. great people, and eric knows his when it comes to blasters.

I would rather just have a stock TRI-Z or am I missing something?

[Brad200X]

My '96 KX125 puts out 24hp I believe. I don't think they put out any more or less HP over the years though, at least the ones that are water cooled with the KIPS and what not. My two 125's are equal speed wise in a drag race. I can't believe that a blaster only puts out 14hp! That must be a misprint. Doesn't a stock 1st gen 200X motor put out 14?
