200ES Lubing and Accessorie question..

[Tweeked]

Hey guys,
I just got an 84' 200es and am wondering the major areas I need to lube on it. In the manual it doesn't talk much about lubing and all, just regular matinence and I didn't see much of anything about lubing sertain areas suck as front wheel bearings and all. The other question is, where can I find accesories such as the front headlight guard, and things like that. I've attached a pic of the light guard so you would see what I am talking about. Are these accesories still avalible or have they been discontinued?


Thanks, See ya

Well motor oil to start with, use a good name brand oil, I use castrol GTX, it's like $1.17 a quart at wal-fart, change the like a every 2 month's,cant hurt and it's cheap, use 10w30 or 10w40, the rear axle also needs oil, 80w90 gear oil, since you just got the trike it might not be a bad idea to change since who know when the last time it was changed was, once you change it you'l be good for a year, just check it like once a month or so, as far as cabel just spray WD-40D or any other spray lube where ever the cabel meets a control, any pivot point. Im not sure about light gaurd , check e-bay or you could make one. hope this helps a little. P.S. I've had a 84 200es for 7-8 months now and i do just what i discribed, she's running just as good as when i got her so i must be doing something right.
