My new 200X! *UPDATED Pics Gold wheels Page 5*

[TravEX]

Picked up this 85 200X from Howard last night.

Here's what weird! He told me it's an 85, and I believed him! (inside joke)

I got it home, and found neutral. The tires turn! and when I sit on it, the swingarm and seat come closer together and move up and down if I jump on it! (inside joke)

All kidding aside, really like it so far. Took it for a spin this evening and it feels good! Just for grins, I'm gonna name it James!!!:Bounce

I'm gonna get the 350X lights going and put that spot light on my 70.

Thanks Howard!

I threw the 70's in there too, they wanted in some pics!

[TravEX]

Couldn't get the video to play. Was it worth it?

[250rfreak]

no...........

[super90]

I like it. Dosent look bad at all except for the gold frame. Looks like it could be a real real easy restore.

[350xrider911]

sweet 200x i like the gas tank and the shocks wat kind of paint is that i want some.

[TravEX]

Not sure.

Yeah super90, gold would not be my choice either.

[Dirtcrasher]

How bright is the 350X headlight? It should be pretty dim with the stock lighting coil on the 85 200X.

[TravEX]

THe 350X light is not hooked up. Howard is gonna send me the sockets so I can hook it up. That spotlight is dam bright though.

If they are dim when I get em going, I'll probably just have 1 bulb hooked up. I'll rarely ride this one at night.


O, and I have plans for those turf savers. Gonna put them on my 400EX and put my car tires on the front of it and see what that looks like. I got some 22" Shredders that I can put on the 200X, gold wheels too, hehe.

[Threes company]

Thats funny... As soon as i saw your new x i thought.. needs gold rims, would look kinda cool with that gold frame. Now whatever you do... don't break that kickstarter because you've been jumping up and down on it for a few hours! :lol: Enjoy the new X.

[TravEX]

LOL, I kicked it about 15 times, thinking WTH, then I checked the kill switch, of course it was OFF! Turned it ON and started first kick! I felt like such a JAMES!!!

[RID3R]

Those handlebars look like they came off a bike or something?

[james9r9r]

Yea thanks look at my pile :)

[TravEX]

yeah, not sure what the handlebars are.

[TravEX]

Yea thanks look at my pile :)

Your the one that bought it :)

[DarkestGKnight]

i like the color of that frame alot.

[ProCarbine2k1]

I like the frame! Im thinking white on the forks, white tank, and gold frame. I love those 200x's! :) :)

[TravEX]

However did it did a good job. I'll try to get better pics of the frame and handlebars.

[james9r9r]

!!!SERIOUS!!!

Ok since my kickstarter snapped what is the easiest way of starting my 200x ?

Either pushing it in gear ?

Push and pop into gear ?

Jack up in the air and turn the rear wheels fast ?

Please only reply if you are trying to help.

Thanks

Thanks

[TravEX]

I'm thinking about having the tank done white.

SERIOUSLY!! REFER TO YOUR OLD THREADS ABOUT THAT TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TravEX]

Does anyone have a front sprocket cover for sale?????

[200xman]

Does anyone have a front sprocket cover for sale?????

If it's the same as a regular 200 cover I have a pile of them. $15 shipped and it's yours.

[TravEX]

I'm not sure if they are the same. You mean a 200S style?

[TravEX]

I'm pretty sure they're different. Thanks though.

[WLL]

i dont care what the color is ,its still a nice trike. i realy like the tank

[TravEX]

Thanks alot! I told a buddy just Saturday, that my next trike would be a 200X, and BAM Sunday i had one! hehe

I've had a 200S, 350X, 250R, and am eager to try out this 200X. The ride today was great. I was very surprised with the pep it has. I guess I was expecting a manual clutch 200S feel, boy was I wrong! hehe

[TravEX]

3WW is the best! I just picked up (well paid for) a grab bar from edog and a front sprocket cover from TwoHundredEx. Thanks guys!!!!

What main jet is stock?

[350xrider911]

NO! dont paint the tank,thats a bad,*Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* tankhas it been painted before.or is it a sticker

[TwoHundredEx]

No problem!
Stock main jet is a 108 I beleive.

How much wider is that axle over stock?

[Russell 350X]

Looks decent, be as great daily rider/beater or a awsome resto project.



JAMES!!!! Why go hyjack a actual serious and inteligent thread, when all the answers to your questions are in a thread that is 17 pages long?? Use your brain for once....please.

[pismorat]

Nice looking 200X, I see that your seat is like mine on the 200X I just got. How come the seat doesn't sit against the tank on these bikes?

[TwoHundredEx]

The vinyl on the seat pulls back the plastic seat pan over time, causing it to pull away from the tank.
I've heard that it can be fixed by heating and re-bending the pan, but I've never tried it.

[Chopper_Kingpin]

Sweet ass! I like that tank. Your doing better than me on the sprocket guard. I still havent found one for my 81 r.

[Brockey]

I just got one off ebay a few days ago for the 81R. I donr have one for my 200x yet tho. Nice looking X by the way. Golds rims will set her off I thinks.

[Yamahauler]

hey james.
Here is a video of push starting.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/coryv_76/th_YAMAHA125PUSHSTART.jpg (http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/coryv_76/?action=view&current=YAMAHA125PUSHSTART.flv)

Instructions:

Step #1 - Find a hill, or sloped area.

Step #2 - Turn ATC until front tire is facing downward on the slope.

Step #3 - Call your dad to come give you a big push.

Step #4 - Sit on your ATC, make sure your feet are on the foot pegs and the front wheel should be directly in front of you.

Step #5 - Ensure your kill switch is set to the "RUN" position. Open fuel cap by turning counter clockwise as far as you can then lifting directly up. Put you head close to the open hole in the fuel tank and check to see if there is a liquid substance. If a liquid substance is seen, replace fuel cap. CAUTION: Do not inhale fumes, brain damage may occur (If possible).

Step #6 - Place your left hand on the left handlebar grip, and your right hand on the right handle bar grip. place your right thumb on the throttle but do not press it at this moment.

Step #7 - Tell you dad to push on the grab bar, and get the ATC moving as fast as possible. When you sense that you are not speeding up any more, lift up on the shift lever and depress the thumb throttle and if you are very lucky it will run!

Repeat steps 1 through 7 as deemed necessary

I been doing it all wrong!! :mad:

[factoryX]

lol, this has to be the funniest thread in a month. This just hit the spot...


hopefuly it does not try to repair its self...

[TravEX]

No problem!
Stock main jet is a 108 I beleive.

How much wider is that axle over stock?

I'll measure it when I change the wheels and tires out. I bet +4.

[TravEX]

Thanks for all the comments. I'm gonna leave the tank alone for a while. The tank is in great shape. I guess it has been creamed, it covered on the inside with a yellowish substance. Yes, it's paint, not a sticker. It will be a few days before I can get the gold wheels on her, but I'll put up pics when I do.

[TravEX]

Here's some better pics of the frame and handlebars. I took the 350X light off for the the pics, I didn't know there was a skull on the gooseneck. I may take that other light off and just run it without any lights at all. It's gonna have an easy life anyway, no night riding.

Whatcha think?

[TravEX]

How far are ya from Memphis? We need to get all the TN, AR, MS guys together for something.

[saleen_n_around]

180 miles.....I am just NW of Nashville.

So that gold frame is starting to grow on ya eh? :naughty: Make sure to post up some pics when you get those gold rims on. Is that spotlight hardwired so its on all the time or is it wired into the handlebar switch... think I might mount one up on my old Red. :beer

[seddon]

at first look i though that tank just had a really bad paint job but now i love it

[TravEX]

It's wired to the high beam switch.

Yeah, the color is growing on me. Supposed to rain the next couple of days, and this weekend I'm wild hog hunting, so it will be a few days till I get the gold ones on there.

[TravEX]

Yeah, I'm really diggin the tank now. It really seems that I've seen this tank before on here somewhere. Howard said it didn't come from a member, but it looks familiar.

[Howard]

damn man, with all this action maybe i should have kept it, HA HA

hey man, on a serious note, you said in your first post that i said it was an 85, and i did, thats what i was told, Was it not?

I think it will be a good trike man, carb ran good no sputter really that i noted. the tank and such grew on me as well. I think the previous owner did say +4 on the rear axle. He also said it has been gone completly through about 3 years ago. i took his word since it looked like new center case gaskets and stuff.

glad ya like it man. hope to ride with ya soon. hey, find you a air cooled R roller and i can hook you up with an aircooled motor or something.

PM your address so i can get some stuff together for you.

[TravEX]

Yeah, long story about the 85 thing, hehe.

I ran it for a while yesterday, it felt strong and peppy.

Thanks again, PM coming.

[RJP66F100]

Nice ATC. You knew I was going to say this but I want to borrow the turf savers someday. I'll try not to groove them.............................. By the way, where is my finder's fee on the slick 70s:lol:

[TravEX]

LOL, Glad you finally decided to post here!

I don't think there's anyway of you grooving these, hehe. I found out today that they suck in the snow!

Yeah, Randy helped me find both 70's. I give ya a 3WW sticker to go on your quads for a finder fee? hehe

[NINJA]

I want that stencil to make those skulls. I'd be painting those suckers all over town! Trust me, if you lived where I live, you'd understand why I wanna do that.

[RedRider_AK]

Hey TravEX, the reason they look familiar, I think that guy with the 300R air-fooler has something similar airbrushed on his tank... it's black with flames and skulls... I forgot his sign on name. Nightbiker something or another.

[TravEX]

Ok, thanks, I'll try to search around for that.

[TravEX]

I can't find any of the threads or pics for Nightbiker(?) or the like.

What was the stock gearing for this thing?

[TwoHundredEx]

I can't find any of the threads or pics for Nightbiker(?) or the like.

I think he changed his username to 300Rman.
Stock gearing is 12/40.

[edog]

Sent your grab bar out Thursday.

[TravEX]

Thanks to both of ya.

[TravEX]

Well, I finally got to spend to time on it this week. Rebuilt the carb, changed the oil, new plug (had the wrong spark plug in it), lubed the cables, filled and bled rear brakes, new grab bar (thanks edog!), etc.......

It's running good, got to tear up the yard a little this evening!

[chris200x]

I'm not sure what to think of that color combo you got going on there dude. I think the copper ang gold would look killer with black plastics tho. I also dig the gold wheels!

I had a thread a while back askin opinions about that copper color. I was thinking about doing up my 350x with some of this. I'm glad you made this thread!

[TravEX]

Yeah, I dunno either about the colors. That's the way I got it. I had these Gold's and 22's just laying around collecting dust, so I figured I'd get some use out of them. Plus, those turf saver's were useless for riding! hehe.

I woulda chose a different color for the frame.

[TravEX]

These are wheels and tires I got off of Liquid Darkness. Also, they will probably stay on there, because something is going on with the wheel studs, it was difficult to get the wheels on and off of there.

The tank, as I have mentioned, has been Kreemed (tan color), I found alot of sandy junk in the float bowl, and everything in the carb at gas level and down is tan color and kinda coated with that stuff. Is that normal? I put a filter on it when I put it back, it didn't have one on it.

[chris200x]

It actually doesn't look to bad now that you have the gold rims on there.. IMO the copper just dont go to well with the red. Just my opinion tho. It that all just paint or is it pc'd?

ride it like it's stolen!!! :naughty: :w00t:

[saleen_n_around]

Looks good, I like the gold wheels......got any more? :D

[TravEX]

No, those are the only goldies I got, hehe.

Chris, paint.

[Threes company]

hey, James is looking great with those gold wheels........ just my two, but i think that color combo looks pretty good. At least its something different, not like every other trike out there. That tank is amazing though... you really have to give it a second look to see the skulls in the paint. Lookin good... long live James, lol! :beer

[Howard]

travis, you got more tires? i might need some for my R.

[TravEX]

No extra rear tires. These tamers will see some time on my 400EX. I have 2 extra sets of front tires and wheels, but I assume you have a ATC not TRX, hehe.

Thanks Three's Company and everyone for the comments!

[TravEX]

I've got some seat time on it the past couple of evenings. Those 22's sure makes it feel doggy now, LOL.

I've bled the rear brakes, but it still takes alot of pressure to slow it down. The pads are good, the caliper/piston may need a good cleaning.

[saleen_n_around]

So did you change it's name, is it no longer James? I see that disappeared from the title.

[TravEX]

no, hehe, still James, just got tired of the title. Gets boring after a while, kinda like it's namesake! LOL
