Put a 200x head and cam on it, a performance exhaust, and a good carb. IMO

The exhuast and carb anyone can do, the head a cam are a little more difficult.

Does a 200x head fit all the 200 trikes? Is it all years or 83-85 only.

[HELLONWHEELS]

a 200x cam and head will fit on my bike???????If so looks like i need a job

[HELLONWHEELS]

and what do you mean by carb just jet the stock one?

[Mobular]

No need to change head unless you have a good complete unit standing by. Go with a 200X piston and cam. They swap directly into your engine.

You can either jet the stock one or update to a flat-side.

That stuf can get pretty complicated though for someone who doesnt really have much experence... no offense to any one not saying *Edited* have none, but if you dont really know what your doing dont get into the motor more can go wrong. The pipe and carb though and gearing even tires many things play into that kinda stuff just my 2 cents.

Well my $.02 is just start simple. Put a pipe on it and in time if you want even more power go with a bigger carb, then move up to a high comp pistion, then go up to camming it.

[MichiganRedneck]

look into a K&N filter too ;)

I agre 100% here. You can trash a good head in under a couple minutes if you don't install everything properly.

I would go with Uni

With my 200s engine I put a 12:1 wiseco piston in it along with a free flowing exhaust,going from the stock 22inch tires(on a 200x)to 18's made a huge difference as well

[HELLONWHEELS]

i just rebuilt my 200m motor so its not really a matter or experience or what not but moneys the only obstical right now..

I don't know why, but it seems like i find myself in that predicament quite often. :lol:

[smokinp]

so I take it you dont want to tear back into the engine?it would only make sense...If it was me I would say a bit bigger carb(perhaps a 200x carb or a xr200carb)remember you have a 22mm carb so going to a 200x (24mm)will still be a upgrade.I would say leave the header alone and go with a more free flowing exhaust.what size tires do you have on?hope this helps....

[HELLONWHEELS]

I got 22's on it but there almost gone so i wanna but some light racy 18's on it maybe turftammers or holeshots..And im not looking to do it right now so maybe latter on i wouldent mind doing the motor.
thanks alot guys

[smokinp]

I would say a set of 20's would be a better idea...I have 18's on my 200x and there too small for me...like I dont mind the bottoming out...its just the ride quaility isnt as good.if you want to tear into the engine then a 12:1 wiseco piston would give you the most power but is will require you to run "race fuel".A higher grind camshaft will help alot too.

[kloby]

yeah, the higher comp. piston is a good idea if you can get race fuel locally. :)

[IrvSLedman]

yep no problem amigo

[cliff2302]

they make a 10.25:1 piston, i dont understand why everyone always suggests the 12:1. The smaller piston will give you a good performance gain and you can still run cheaper gas.

[xd 200x]

I would love to put a 12:1 in my 200m/x. But alas im way to broke and it's smoking like a crack whore on the croner. so im going to finish the x and then worry about it

[HELLONWHEELS]

yeah thats probably the best way

[HELLONWHEELS]

Alright guys for now heres the plan i buddy owes me some money but cant pay up so hes giving me his fmf pipe for my bike and im planing on putting a uni filter.Now as for the carb what should i do? Jet mine or get a new one some of you say a xr 200 or a 200x? any thoughts?
thanks

[kloby]

Jetting yours would be alright, but if your wanting more power i would suggest the (86) flat-side carb of a 200x :)

[crackshot]

Yeah I would just get an oversized exhaust and put a air cleaner on there.
My 200s always ran rich then I threw a Bassani exhaust on it and removed air box lid.
Corrected the the rich problem and really made a big difference in power.
Went from a black spark plug to a tan one by doing that.

Sweet! Sounds like your satisfied.

[smokinp]

as for price...I would say that you best bet would be a xr200 carb or a 200x

[HELLONWHEELS]

Yeah i agree
