[terratiger]

I Have Recently Became The Owner Of A 1982 185s, With 180 Cc 4 Stroke Engine. Does Anyone Have Any Information On The Engine As Far As Hp At A Certain Rpm. Also I Have The Automatic Clutch 5 Speed And Would Like To Know The Gear Ratios.

Great Site Thanks In Advance For The Help.

Terratiger, welcome to the site. Beware, you are typing in capitals and that is a no-no. If you like your 185s, find a suspension kit and you will really like it. They are around, it just usually takes some digging. I have a bolt on suspension kit on my frame and it rocks. You can always put a 200x cam in your trike and that will kick it up a little. I know the rated horsepower is the same for the 200s as it is for the 185s. The compression ration is higher in the 185s than the 200s and that is how they have comparable horsepower ratings. Have fun with your trike. Just remember, they were the sport trike before the 250r.

Stock you are looking in the 12-13 Hp range I would guess. The 200s came rated at 13.5 Hp and the 200E came rated at 13.0 Hp. These come from the Honda certificate of origin.

Fox,

Do you know the RPM associated with that Hp rating? I also need the gear ratios if you might have them as well.

Thanks for the help.

Nopethose are the only numbers I have, if you do fine what you are looking for please post them up I haven't ever seen them for thses hondas. A while back someone put their 350x on a dyno but I dought those numbers would help you much.
