200sx auto to 200x manual

[200x newby]

can a 86 200sx motor be changed to a 200x manual using 86 200x parts? the electric start caught my attention and changing the auto clutch to a manual clutch just poped into mind. or would the eletric start side cover and gears and starter bolt on the the 86 200x motor? interesting to hear what you have to say. let me know. just another concept.

It probably can be done with a lot of work and maybe fabing up some parts. It has been a while since I have been in a 2nd gen 200x and I have never had to take an sx apart but I would image it would be like doing the same thing with an older 200 trike motor and a XR motor like they did back before the 200x to gain a manual clutch. The problems I see is the crank is different between the two and you would need the right side of the 200x motor along with the right side of the crank because the sx crank is longer to accommodate for the extra clutch. On the left side you would need the sx parts because the crank is longer to make room for the starter motor drive gear.

Again I don’t have much experience with the new x and the sx. I am not even positive about the crank difference but that is where I would check if I was thinking about doing the conversion (I am thinking of doing a similar swap with my YTM).

I had an 86 200x and 86 200sx. i sold em both but my friend has still got the sx. He wants to sell it. I bet you could buy it for 500 cash. It could use a one way bearing. Plastic aint perfect. It does run good and doesnt smoke much if any. The complete motor looked like it would fit when i had them next to each but dont quote me on that
