honda 200x

[yes se-r]

anyone know anything about these? im buying one from my boss (an 86 for $300)

i have two other trikes already, a 86 200atc and an 87 suzuki 185 so i have experience with them.

but i cant seem to find forums on them

 

[brandoz28]

4cfed has had a few of them

 

[Awk08]

i had an 87 200x back in the day, sweet ride!!!!

 

[blaster01]

weve had a few of them and own 2 right now, fun reliable bikes.......
anything certain you want to know?

 

[xJust_Causex]

GF's brother has two of 'em and neither one will stay running, they start but you can only ride them for like 30 seconds before they die.

it's odd to hear of a 200x that doesnt run right, unless someone has majorly messed with it. They used to be a popular race class, thats where the blaster class originated. The ama rule that 200 class be aircooled came from people destroking and sleeving 250r's down to 200cc.

 

[xJust_Causex]

ya well he has 2 of 'em, doing the same exact thing. lol he changed the carb out on one and it didn't help it any, so don't really know, he is pretty good with bikes, but I don't think he has really broken 'em down.

buying any honda 3 wheeler that cheap u cant go wrong all u need is a quart of oil and a gallon of gas and u can ride the whole weekend lol

 

[yes se-r]

will the blasty rear rims fit on it? thats my biggest concern right now

 

[3 Wh33l3r Rid3r]

no they wont 200x is a 4x110 and the blasty is 4x100

 

[brandoz28]

it won't be hard to find rear wheels to fit that either that honda pattern is all over

 

[sportnitro]

remove the front fender to help cooling.the biggest killer on this 3 wheeler is over heating and losing ring tension.This causes it to burn oiland smoke excessivly.

 

[4cfed]

there is no need to remove the front fender... slot it or drill it.. or just buy a 85/86 250r front fender, they look much better and dont go down as far..

as for running for 30 seconds and dieing... check the tanks for rust, common problem, or clooged fuel filter, or partly clooged...

200cc 5 speed, air cooled, low tech dead nuts reliabable 4 stroke, exatly add gas and go rock the wheels off it all day long, BTW aboutt eh front fender i call bs.. iv owned 3 of them.. 2 85s and my white 84..alll had front fenders there whole lifes and none of them smoked .. well my 84 did but it way fuel,

dg hardchrome, or dg rcm rcm2 exhausts are great on them, cobra's are junk.. loud and no power, honda xr200 carb and cam are direct swaps and well worth the power..

powroll usedto make big bore kits for them, but havent forever, and now and then one comes up for sale... but not cheap... westcoast usedto make swinngers for them, but also dont any more... BUT ya really dont need a extended swinger on one

sweet thanks for the info. and fail now i have to buy new tires. i was hoping i can use my blasty wheels and tires. unless i get the same pattern but an 8" rim and swap the razrs over..hmm

 

[phragle]

Robin Davis used to race a 200x against the guys..baja etc...cute and kicked azz...

 

[dygz21]

Actually the 86-87 were six speed and the motor is slightly different. They had slightly different suspension and square tube frames. I have put a lot of time into reading about them as that is my next toy that I NEED LOL.. if you are getting an 86 for that price thats a great deal.. I am watching for a clean one near me

what size are the wheels on the 200x? it won't be hard to get wheels with the right bolt pattern, honda has, and still uses that 4x110

 

[MXsandracer]

alot of engine parts are interchangeable between the xr200 and 200x. im using an xr200 tranny in mine right now to make it a 6speed instead of 5

 

[yes se-r]

honestly i have no idea what year it is or even the model. my boss doesnt even know. he said he paid 450 for it and hes selling it to me for 300. im picking it up in a few hours ill post pics. i just searched around and assumed it was a 200x. it is clutch but im not sure how many gears. it has a kickstart and full suspension. as far as the rest i have no clue

 

[xJust_Causex]

200x have a auto clutch on them, at least the 2 I know of do, so you might wanna check a little more before jumping in on the deal if you really want a 200x.
