How's it going? I'm new to this forum and to the ATC world and had some basic questions about my '85 Honda 200x. I just got my trike yesterday, she runs perfect and starts up on the first couple kicks. She doesnt smoke and accelerates great. My questions are...........

How do I take off the seat to change my air filter?
How should I adjust the choke when I start the bike? Up or down?
Whats the best way to clean my engine? (has some grease).

If anybody could please help out it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!:D

Welcome to the board. Post some pics of your bike, when you get a chance.

A manual will help with most of your questions.

So where should I position the choke when I want to start it? and after it is warmed up do I leave the choke the way it is? Or do I adjust it again to another position?

Heres another one. She looks really good for almost being 25 years old! the only thing really is that there is like 3 or 4 small little tears in the seat, but no biggie, doesnt really bother me none! Let me know what u think of her?
