Tomorrow I'm probably gonna pick up an 83? atc 185 with a spare motor for $250. The spare motor is supposed to run good, it just smokes. The guy told me he just couldn't get the one that's in it to run and got tired of fooling with it. Sound like a good deal? The real reason I'm getting this is so I can ride my 200x while I'm rebuilding it's motor and maybe make some extra cash on the side. What's involved with putting the 185 motor in the X? It looks to me like the rear brake pedal won't mount to the 185 motor like it does on the 200x, how do I hook up the breaks? I know Howdy and some others have done this. Thanks for any input.

the 185 will bolt right in but the wiring harness will have to be changed a little bit. I rigged up a setup and welded it to an extra foot peg so I could use my back brakes, but I still haven't rebuilt my back brakes so I've never used it.
