Ooo, that's a toughie! Have you tried a dealership yet? Otherwise it off to eBay....or Howdy!

If you are asking about OEM parts. Ive only needed a few things for mine, but so far have had no problems getting the parts I needed. All OEM dealers have access to the same parts, other than whatever NOS they happen to have on their shelves. In other words, try any authorized Suzuki dealer, or if youd rather shop OEM online dealers, try Bikebandit.com or Partsfish.com. Contrary to the rumors, no MFG has singled out trikes to turn their backs on. When parts are discontinued it is strictly for lack of demand, not because they hate trikes. Demand is affected by number of a particular model there, how long ago they were produced, and failure rate of the part in question.

You ride a 200S and you are calling Suzuki gay? "Gay" is knocking other people's rides without having to ability to spell and punctuate in an intelligible manner while you're doing it, so that it is comprehensible by a normal English speaking person.

i wasint trying to knock his ride i was just saying i think suzuki sucks. i was just telling him that a honda yamaha or kawasaki would be easier to find parts for and a 200s is not gay.just to let u know my uncle had a alt 125 and it sucked so my uncle got a 200s and solc the alt 125.

[guidou_l]

I think the 200s sucks, and they are gay. I used to have one, but sold it at last years Trikefest. I kept my ALT125 though, because it didn't suck nearly as bad as the 200s, and it was not nearly so gay to ride. Oh yeah, sorry if Im offending you.

As far as parts, Im curious as to what personal knowledge you base your conclusion on? Have you tried to purchase a lot of Suzuki, Kawasaki or Yamaha trike parts?

i have a alt 125 but the the hubs are welded onto the axel and the back sproket is stripped

[threewheelin-feelin]

.............................. well i think suzukis suck and i really dont care what u or anybody else thinks about a 200s or any other honda i tryed to be nice about the hole thing but damn......... could we just forget about it i dont want to make any enemys ok

[4atcsandcntng]

i want everybody to get along but i'm here to tell you that, although suzuki wasn't the best manufacturer of three wheelers, they made some really good 4 wheelers, not as good as the trx 250r but just as good as the yamahas in the early and mid 80s. they also had very nice dirtbikes that i would put up against any of the honda and yamaha dirt bikes

just my 2 cents but thanks for reading

Let me spell it out, since you just dont seem to get it. A new guy posts on the board asking for some intelligent advice, and the first thing you do is tell him his trike is gay and it sucks, and that he should get rid of it and buy another one. Then you proceed to give him advice on parts that you know nothing about. The worst part is, you dont see anything wrong with it, and cant see how idotic it is to claim that you told him his trike sucks and at the same time claim you were "trying to be nice about it". " I wasnt knocking his ride, just saying it sucks"? Do you know what an oxymoron is? You were very rude and showed a real lack of manners, and its also obnxious to the point of being comical considering what you are driving and the grammer you use to post it. Have you ever thought of something like " I dont care for Suzuki myself," or "I dont particulary like Suzuki" instead of "your ride sucks"? You dont want to make enemies? How about treating people and their choice of rides with a little respect, and only giving advice on things you have a clue about. Then you might want to give the guy you insulted a sincere apology. There is no "if I insulted you" about it. Telling a guy his ride sucks is out of line whether he is insulted or not. By the way, I really do own an ALT125 that I happen to like very much, so you also posted that MY trike sucks, so NO, Im not going to just let you off the hook to irresponsibly run your mouth, "and just forget about it". You are responsible for what you post you'd better think before you post. And while you're at it get a freak'n spell checker! "u" "trailprotrailpro" are not words, and we do have a lot of foreign visitors (that means from other countries) to this site who are not well versed in "American slum punk". If you cannot spell "you" and "your" or "you're", or put some punctuation at the end of a sentence, reread the thread titled "for God's sake don't type like an idiot". It should be enlightening. Nothing funnier than a guy trying to talk down to somebody while failing at using 2nd grade writing skills. Nobody is impressed. And while a 200s is good machine, its hardly at the top of the pyramid for putting other people's machines down.
Now Im ready to forget it and move on. Im hoping this will make you pause and think before whipping out your next insulting post, and think about whether you know what your talking about when you give your next piece of advice. I hope you will learn to think of things from others' points of view.

Well said, Tim Sr.!

lmao, You must have peeked in my shop. lol I do have some parts for the Suzuki's.

Howdy

[threewheelin-feelin]

tim listen i said suzuki i hate the company but they have made a few good machines like the z400 and the lt models. i never said anywere that HIS BIKE SUCKED it might be the best alt ever made. i also was trying to point out selling the suzuki and getting a honda yamaha or kawaski he might have a easier time finding parts. i dont like kawasaki either it just seems like they would be easier to find parts for but i truely am sorry to both of you ok.

[guidou_l]

I guys

I have call a place who sale suzuki parts and they told me tha the alt 185 and the lt185 share same parts together. Is it real?

thanks....

And I don't think my suzuki is a scrap.... Its what I own and i'm happy with it

[atcmatt]

Yes the alt and lt 185's do share similar parts. The frame is not all the same but im sure the motor is the same.
