200s mods?

[Twizted]

I would like to add a little power to my 200s. I don't want anything over the top though. I was thinking of...200x carb and intake boot, DG RCM exhaust, and a K&N air filter.

would this be a good upgrade? and what year 200x carb would I look for?

One other thing is rejetting the carb for the exhaust and filter, what five jet sizes should I have on hand to dial this in, what is a good starting point for the main jet?

200x carb from 83-85 would work, or better yet, an xr 200 carb and intake, any year except 85-86 "dual carb". Also, you can throw in the XR 200 cam, and that will help wake the motor up. As far as jetting goes, put the performance pipe on and ride it and do a couple spark plug color checks. Honda runs rich from the factory on the 200, so sometimes a jetting change isnt necessary. You can also alow a more free flowing air filter or remove the airbox cover, but then you shouldnt be riding in mud. Once again, check plug after every mod you do to make sure it dosnt become too lean. Start off with the stock jets, and increase one size at a time if you find you need to. Good Luck!

Thanks for the help, I'll look around for an xr carb. I would like to stick with simple bolt on's. so I don't really wanna change out the cam. will the carb exhaust and filter still make a differance without doing the cam? Thanks again.

Yes, the carb,filter and exhaust will make a little more power. The cam IS direct fit and bolt on, you dont have to change anything! Its so simple to put in, and takes like 20 minutes. The cam would be like adding icing to the cake to make it that much better. If your putting that much in it, might as well get the cam too.

its the 84-85 xr200 thats was a dual carb,4 valve engine.

i have a couple 200x carbs ,let me know if you want one.

[Twizted]

what kind of shape are they in and how much? also do you have the intake boot, needle, and needle valve to go with them?

would the 200x carb or the xr200 carb be better? I want this to be reliable and not have to be played with every time I wanna go out for a ride.

another thing is I don't have a decompression cable for my pull start...would putting a cam in make it crazy to pull start? and do I use the stock valves with the new cam?

finally does anyone have part #'s for the piston/rings and cam? and where to get them?

sorry to have so many questions but this is going to be my fall project so I would like to start getting the parts now. a parts/special tool list that I would need would be great if someone can list it. Thanks for all the help guys!

Would this work with a honda 200m

Yes. The engines are the same except for your electric start.
