    well as syko halfway suggested im gonna throw my extra 200x front end on her and grab a 86 R front fender and let my buddy drive it, who knows i may like it alot and let him drive my 200x, well see haha.

    Oh awsome story, i was at the girls house with $170 in hand, i asked her how much was it again and when she said 170 her boyfriend laughed and said that it isnt worth that much and would only take $150... Score right? muahahaha

    I usually run anywhere from 25:1 to 32:1, thats always a safe mix.

    50:1 synthetic 32:1 conventional is what i allways ran 40:1 should be safe Use good 2-stroke mix oil. No the cheap walmart outboard oil isn't good enough

    I think 40:1 is your best bet and yes, use Amsoil Interceptor. I've tried about 5 different brands (isn't much I know) and outta those 5 Interceptor is the best! Burns clean and the trike feels stronger.

    Thanks for the input saul, its great to get info from experienced riders such as yourself.

    Yea aaron that seat is off of one of the ladies dirtbikes, not sure what year or model on that badboy haha.

    Since there is no tag on the downtube as to what year it was, I ran the VIN # tb0600bc002522 decodes into 1981 250R. Im actually pretty excited to work mess around with it this weekend.

    '81 250R with an '82 motor. BTW isn't that the axle in that second pic? (behind the pipe)

    Oh yeah parts are easy to come by if you're patient. The hardest thing to find for your bike will be the correct seat, rather one that's doesn't have a rotted pan.
    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)

    Condition i got it in.



    200x front end put on



    uhhh kinda looks retarded with the headlight, I'll see if if i can get a 200x headlight in a week or two.


    Mock up with the tank and rear fenders




    Question, will the 200x rear shock swap out with the 250r? The one I got wont hold any pressure.
