Atc 200x 83-85 rear axle upgrade options

[oldoo]

Hi all,

Looking to upgrade the rear axle on my 200x.

I’ve heard 82 250r will fit or 300ex?

I’m in Australia so local parts are far and few between. I just want the most cost effective way to make it work. Machining and wedding/fab is not an issue to make it happen.

Any input is appreciated.

Cheers

82 r fit bolt in

300ex fits but swinger must be modifed since its a good 1/2 wider between bearing surfaces. Also nothing rear brake mounts up or chain unless you can fab new conversions.

I've done both.

Most wont spend $500-600 on a rear but you will spend that for a durablue 82 r axle anyway.

Swinger carrier bearings are the same between 200x and 300ex...all the hondas are. I had ran all the part numbers before my swap.

The one i liked the best was 300ex but unless you can crunch # over come challenges....stay away.

It's not bolt in go ride

I got away from 200xs due to all the dump obsolete crap every time redoing one oem axles are always bent.

last 4 pics are 1982 atc250r durablue axle, I had a trx450r rear caliper on the +1.5" swinger I had built. HREatv.com can build you this if needed.

Thanks mate I will look into it. Looks like I’ll go for 82r axle and possibly just fab up a bracket to run a newer/better brake caliper. I have a brembo caliper off a Ktm here I could use.

I have an '83 200x with a '98 KDX220 engine in it, I also have a few other ATC's/ATV's/Dirt bikes including a '04 TRX450r and a '01 400ex and I have noticed that the share a lot of compatible parts so I am deciding on installing a extended TRX450r axle in the rear and all I need to do it is run some 40x62x24 bearings and I should be good! I will make sure to get some before/after pictures when its done. I also have a 400ex rear brake caliper on it.
