Will this work on an 85 and how would it mount?

[mymint87]

thats not an 87' 200x ignition

[kilabeez0]

hmmm it was listed as a 200x keyed ignition. any ideas as to what it goes to? i like the neutral light though! anyone tried a keyed ignition or even a neutral light?

[RichinMO]

The 200x doesn't have the sensor in the tranny to know when its in neutral.
That dash is off a 250es or sx or someother workhorse with reverse.

I'm 95% sure it's off a 1984 ATC200es Big Red ( the only other option would be a 86-87 125m ). How do I know this?
1st The ignition switch narrows it down to these machines: 84-85 ATC125m, 86-87 125m, 82-83 200e, 84 200es, 84-85 200m, 87 200x, 85-87 250es, 85-87 250sx

2nd, there is a reverse light that narrows it down to these: 86-87 125m, 84 200es, 85-87 250es, 85-87 250sx

3rd It has the choke cable holder on it. This narrows it down to the 86-87 125m, 84 200es. From memory: the 125m's used a dash panel that was configured a little different. So you remove that one and your left with the 84 200es Big Red. Howdy - Ace Detective!! lmao j/k


Now will it work on a 200x? Yes and no, The dash panel won't bolt up to a 200x. So that part won't work. You will need to remove the switch and ake a holder / mount for it. The ignition switch can be wired into the 200x harness to work.
If you just want the key to kill the motor you just need to use the green and the black wire ( Unless you have a battery hooking the other wires up would be a waste of time ). In your wires running to the stock handle bar switch you have a green and a black wire. Connect these 2 wires to those 2 wires ( green to green, black to black ) and mount the switch and your good to go.

Please note: Unless you disconnect the handle bar switch it will have to be in the run position and the key to the "ON" position for the motor to get spark and run. Turning either off would kill the motor.

yes howdy i agree...that looks exactly like the one on my 84 big red

[bigredhead]

I agree.

I have both an 84 ES, and an 85 SX.

the SX has the lights side by side.

the ES has them top and bottom. like the picture.

that would be just like it is on a big red. there is both a key witch and a kill switch. i would just leave it hooked up.

2nd, there is a reverse light that narrows it down to these: 86-87 125m, 84 200es, 85-87 250es, 85-87 250sx

The 200es is shaft drive, just like was started ing the other post. The 125m is chain drive but that is only a 125cc engine. Both the 250es and 250sx are shaft drive also. What 200 are you asking about?

[trikerider2oo7]

WAIT A MINUTE I THOUGHT THAT THERE WERE NO CHAIN DRIVE ATCs (200's) WITH REVERSE, I CAN FIND YOU THE THREAD I ASKED IN...

the 84 200es big red was shaft driven...and dont use all caps. read your rules

[jmsmilin]
