Finally got me a 200x with a kerker exhaust

[dz]

Well, I traded my 110 for a 200x. Here is what she looks like. She smokes like a chimney, previous owner drilled holes in the airbox :rolleyes: needs rear axle bearings. Currently has aluminum rims all around, new renthal handlebars, twist throttle, DG rear grab bar and a full kerker exhaust. Let the fun begin.

Looks pretty clean. Are the rear tires on backwards?

[mohadib]

looks really clean, like the way it sets. Is that swingarm extended?

[Threes company]

looks like a solid bike. aftermarket exhaust, nice rims......those maier scoops really help the early Xs in the looks department. great find........ :beer

[SWIGIN]

looks good

thats the second kerker for a 200x i've seen since i started riding in the early 80s......and i owned the other....lol

they made 2 styles, you have the megaphone style and i had the aluminium canister type.

i always loved that pipe on my built up 85 200x, great to see another.

I've been riding since the 80's too, and its the only Kerker exhaust I've ever seen, born in 82 was riding by 85-86. The exhaust has a really nice note to it, I was thinking about selling it off but I think I'm going to hold on to it for a bit. I believe thats the stock swing arm but the shock tensioner is cranked all the way down I think, it barely flinches when I sit on it but it's at a nice comfortable height. Those rear tires are bi-directional. The way they are now its for the sand, if you put them the other way (like I am going to), they are meant for the mud.

Hey Swigin, by chance do you have any pics of your kerker exhaust. Would be cool to see the other type.

I still have to get the rear brake pedal to master cylinder linkage figured out, anybody have a picture of that? Thanks.

no i have these tire if you put it in one direction their mud tire and in is case their sand tires

[brapp]

they are nice bikes but those realtors are way too heavy for the 200x power put a set of holeshots or soemthign on ther eand run her for all she is worth

Hey Swigin, by chance do you have any pics of your kerker exhaust. Would be cool to see the other type.

no, there weren't any digital cameras or internet yet (man i feel old) but it had a white header pipe and a 4 inch canister with neat cast aluminum end caps.

maybe someone can post up an old add that would show both styles. i do know they made yours in black or chrome.

I sold this bike to a board member last year. Had a full kerker on it too

Well, no rest for the wicked. I got it most of the way apart, took the top end off to find a deep score in the cylinder wall and a banged up piston. I'm surprised it still ran. Got me a nice cylinder/piston combo on ebay. Hopefully will be running by this weekend.

lets get some pics of that cylinder and piston!

[dz]

Ok, here are the pics of the cylinder and piston. You have to look real close for the damage on the piston, as this camera isn't really that good with close ups.

If you can feel it with you finger nail it probably wont hone out . Will need to be bored . Ive seen worse though .

[atctim]

Nice looking bike. that is an 85/86 250R front fender on there - they make them look nice too!

[daniel_250r]

yea mine was a bit worse, i thought it was gonna be like the one in another thread it had like half a piston and the sleeve was cracked and still ran lol

[dz]

My eyes have been focused on the engine, I didn't even realize that I had an R fender on her. I do concur, I like the look of it.

It's not going to hone out, it's already .50 over. I found a nice cylinder and piston on ebay so I'm gonna roll with that for now. I figure this cylinder may end up being .80 to 1.0mm over. I will save it for a rainy day, possibly re-sleeve it.

Mr. postman dopped off some parts for me today, clutch cable, rear axle bearings and seals, gasket kit, drive chain, flywheel puller, cam chain. Just waiting for the cylinder/piston and my air filter. I hope to have some real progress by this weekend.
