    Factoid = SX is the best trike ever built. Get yourself a manual on ebay. Be the best $30 you can spend. Check this site. there's tons of good advise, tips and tricks to help you out. Make sure your diff fluid is clean, and NEVER remove the three allen heads near your driveshaft.

    Not quite understanding why they have a bad name? I have been to they are worthless and suck by trike lovers. I love it. Racks, auto clutch. Reverse, suspension.... Yea it's not a race trike, but it's the perfect little tractor I can have some fun on.
    Also, new shoes and bearings up front and brakes work well now, reverse cable installed and that works now. Put a twilight I had on the shelf and it works, now I just need to add a battery and ignition and hope that electric start system is in order.

    Of all my trikes my SX is the one that I grab to take on trail rides at the atv parks because I know it won't let me down. It's just a very universal fun playing trike. Great for wheelies tooClick image for larger version.

    Of all the trikes I have had (200x 85&86, 350x, not stock Tri-z, atc70/125). My 200S 40 over with an X cam and carb is by far the most fun trike I have had overall. The SX may change that, tike will tell.

    ^Disc brake rear end? If so, the rear axle alone is worth 5 times what you paid. Even with drum brakes the 8.8 is a very common swap for JEEPS.

    Killer deal. I'd buy that in a heartbeat for that price...I might be talked into twice that. My SX is by far my favorite trike.

    I love my SX. I had one a year or so ago and traded it but missed it immediatly, so I bought another. Definitly the best "ALL AROUND" trike out there. Electric start with back up kicker in case battery or solinoid craps out... shaft drive for some fun mud action... Reverse has got me out of a few jams... fast enough to be fun, yet can cruise a trail with my kids in comfort. Always my first choice as well. Took mine out today!!!Click image for larger version.

    I love the look of the SX, just not as much with racks. Maybe they will look better once I pull them and sand them down and repaint.

    Fixed the no power when key on issue after I put the es switch in, red wire by the battery wasn't plugged in. Found out starter is shot, new one should be in Sunday. Now I just need to fix the one tire leak and it's on to cosmetics, after I fix my cheap truck I bought. I have under $500 into a fully functional SX, now let's hope the ranger project goes as well.

    Just added it up and I have $503 into it, only thing that doesn't work now is the handlebar rear brakes, needs a cable.
