Looking at a 200x tomorrow compared to a yt175 200x PIC

[short4stuff]

Well, I am going to go look at a 84 200x tomorrow. Right now I own a tri-moto 175 .. The 200x is going to be alot better than the 175 isn't it... ?

It has a DG pipe and a UNI filter ...
Here's a pic, tell me what ya think,

[atctim]

Good looking machine, although I'm not too crazy about the yellow frame and front hub. Looks like Ronald McDonald should be driving it.

[Russell 350X]

o hell yea that will be alot better than your yami. if the price is right get it.

[vartiak15]

how much are they asking?

[short4stuff]

he wants like 900obo CDN ... And before you say its tooo much, these things are rare (sport trikes) around here... Ask Timex69, Leproge, smokinip, rob0781, and i am sure I am missing atleast one other person from around here (atlantic Cdn) I dont think it's too bad of a price ... you see big red's going for like 1500 here so I THINK this is a good deal, tell me what you think.

[84250r]

Thats not bad price. Most 200X's go for $600 to $1,200 here. Machine looks clean.

[BigGreenMachine]

they are fairly rare around my home as well. i have the only tecate and one of my friends has a 200x with a Yamaha 400 Seca motorcycle motor in it, the 200x motor is in a chain converted Yamaha Beartracker.

looks like a nice bike, paint your tank red and that yellow frame will look like it belongs

[BigGreenMachine]

Thats not that bad of a price, I know of an 84 250 R for $1800 just up the road from my g/f's and the aforementioned 200x. These, along with my Tecate are the only sport trikes I know of in my area.

I should make a trip back out to the east coast with 2 of my 350x's to sell to you guys, I am selling off three of them to pick up a golf cart since they are semi road legal here.

[packhamstruck]

where abouts are you at, I am in southern ontario and it probaly wouldn;t take that long to drive out there, I am currently finishing them all up to be in top shape then they will be for sale, but if they dont sell i will just have to keep them, i want to anyways, but its just to hard to ride this many machinces at once, and i hardly every let any of my friends ride them.

[almac16]

agreed..........sport bikes are rare here in Nova Scotia.......$900 sounds ok....... looks good too

[short4stuff]

Alright boys, i got 'er !!!!! (well not quite) just have to get the papers signed over, I will get an updated pic... it now has tank decals and other stickers.

Now theres a few things... The hubs have been welded to the axle a "good way" so they can be taken back off and the sprocket has been welded straight to the axle....the axle bearings need to be changed ... and it does not have shock linkage it just has a lx350 shock straight onto the swingarm... I am probably gonna go for a 350x shock and a new axle. Any ideas on axle? is it just me or is the 200x one really tiny like skinny smaller than a 200e one. and the back brakes need a seal.and the fenders are starting to crack by the foot pegs. other than that the rest is good.

It has a new UNI filter. DG pipe, xr200 carb. he says it has new rings like 2 thanks ago. New clutch cable... He also posted online it has a new rod, crank bearings , piston, and other stuff ... now whether its true .. how do you really know. O well I think I faired ok .. He told me online $850 Cdn ... Asked him before we said anything what he wanted said 800... From there it was all talk ... By the time I left he liked the way $600 felt in his hand! Yes I love it .... Its gonna kick ass lol.

Well thats all ... its not like a TimSR write up but this is long for me lol.

Tell me what you think now.

[atc krazy]

now sell your yt 175 and buy a bunch of good stuf for that trike

[short4stuff]

ok well boys got to drive her for 10 mins ,,, chain came off and put a hole in the stator case anyways other than that lol ..... its good.

This is what I am going to need ...

rear axle, hubs and sprocket.
case saver? or is it just the sprocket cover? (its missing)
stator cover ..

If anyone can help me with this .. !!!

its a 84 X

EDIT:
also need a top motor mount.

[threewheelin-feelin]

hehehe i think i might be getting me a 200x

[PlatinumDogg]

I would keep the yt175 for awhile...my buddy had a yt125 tri-moto, and that thing really boogies, how fast do u think the 175 would go??

[short4stuff]

alright thanks for the tips ... I dont know how much faster the 175 is ... but i want something that i know will start .. a honda ...

But it seems the more I get into it the more things I need .... front brake rotor is bent ... have one?


vartiak15 I sent you a PM.
