I'm back! And I got a sweet 200x

[stevensj13]

Hey guys. There might be a couple of you guys that remember me, after I sold my Tri-Z and my air cooled 250r, I kinda slowly faded from the forum and havent posted in a while. But, I'm back! I'm not a big guy, 5 foot 5 and 160 pounds, so I don't need a bike trike. I got my hands on a nice 1983 200x and I am psyched, its the perfect size for me. I need a seat cover to be perfect, and I want to get one custom made, red with lightning like the seat on this old YZ 250 I had. Anyway, Heres a couple pics, they are crappy and make the plastics orange and warped looking, but I'll get some good ones tomorrow, or maybe later today. Tell me what you guys think, and if theres anything I should check on this bike or know about it help me out! Its great to be back on 3 wheels!

Well damn. Find a beat up 250cc 2 stroke bike or something for like $500, get it running, take the motor and wiring and carb and all that stuff and stick it in your 200X frame, then give the rest of the bike to me lol. Really though, a CR 250 motor in a 200X frame would be a real monster.

nope zilla motor is going in the x frame...

DO IT! I dare you lol. Buy an ebay Lifan knockoff motor and stick it in your 200x. Or sell me your roller.

[jon jon]

how much are you offering? lol

Ill try to pick it up this weekend, thanks for the good deal man. But yeah, I've got a few motors I might put in it. Probably a YZ 400 if I can get spark!

Also, everyone else, I got dicked on the 200x deal. I test rode it when he brought it, ran awesome. yesterday I took it out for a real ride and it wouldnt rev once you let the clutch out in gear, it just lost spark and died, would start right back up and rev in neutral or in gear with the clutch in. So I bought a whole wiring harness and all components and my chain adjuster and swingarm bolts from another member here. Hope to get the stuff this week!
