I got this trike in about 1999-2000 from a buddy who had it sitting under his deck for several years after it had died on him. He was the second owner and had bought it from a guy he worked with. The sammich maker was complaining and wanted it gone, :rolleyes: so I volunteered to take it off his hands.(free) :D Turns out the reason it died was the ignition module, I replaced that, went thru the carb, changed the oil and it fired right up. I took it for a spin to warm it up good, changed the oil again, and repeated that once more. I changed the pipe to a DG 2 or 3 years ago and rejetted it. It’s been a good machine, always started no matter how cold it was. For whatever reason I was cruising the net one day and came across this site and .org. “What’s this? I can mod this thing with other Honda parts that drop right in?? Bigger cam? Bigger carb?" Dammit :naughty:
I’ve been wrenching on anything and everything with a motor since I was about 14, but this is my first venture into the Honda 200 ATC motor. I have an 85 200X with a locked up motor out back, this one is practice
So I couldn’t find any before pics, but it was in really good shape when I got it. Fenders were good with no cracks, one small dent in the tank, and the bars are bent from the previous owner going over backwards on a hill
I tore the motor out last spring, but work , life, and higher priority projects kept this project at bay until recently.
Here are the specifics:
Had the bore honed and the valves done
I cleaned the casting imperfections out of the intake port in the head, and matched up the intake manifold to the head and carb flange. Cleaned up and polished the exhaust port
Piston will be a Wiseco 10.25:1
The cam will be Honda part #14101-437-000 for the 83-84 XL200R (all of the late 70’s to mid 80s XL series actually)
The carb and intake manifold is from an 84 XR200
Airbox will be stock 200S, air filter to be determined. Leaning towards a Uni. Suggestions welcome.
Exhaust will be the DG pipe I had on previously
Rear tires will be the ones in the pic for now, probably switch to Bear Claws
Rear axle and drive was gone thru 2 years ago
Front tire to be determined, but it’s gonna need one. Suggestions welcome
Shocks will be rebuilt, new boots, and tapered bearing kit will go in the steering head
That morphadite trailer hitch will be coming off
The patient (victim?)

OK, now what?

Bent shifter

I have some small parts coming in tomorrow, hopefully I'll be back at it tomorrow afternoon or Thursday
