Let me first say hello to everyone, this looks to be a great site with lot's of good information. I am also a member of another good site cannondaleriders.com which has been extremely helpful over the past couple of years, yes I own two of them, and have no complaints. I've owned honda atc's since 1984 starting with a 82 185s then a 85 350x then a 84 250r, 86 trx 250r, 86 350x, 85 200x, the two dales, and now a 86 200x. I have done 100% of my own work from the beginning, am a machinist by trade but four years ago went to work as a tech. at a polaris/can-am/arctic cat/suzuki shop and am now the service manager. This is my first experience with a 86 200X since 1987 so I don't remember much so hopefully someone here own's one of each of the machines at the same time and will chime in with some answers. My first question is relating to the seat it looks the same as the 350X but looks can be decieving. Does anyone here know how to tell by Honda's part number? The 200X p. n. is 77100-hb5-670 and the 350X shows two p.n.'s old 77100-ha5-670 and 77100-ha5-000 at least these are what yamaha of troy shows. What about the latch and bracketry? My second is about a kickstarter, does any other model use the same one? Or one that will work to start the machine so I can tell if the motor is good ( I really don't want the neighbors to see me being dragged down the road behind a polaris). Sorry for the long post but I felt like I should give yall ( yes I'm from Texas) a little information about myself before I started picking your brains. Thank's, Jason
