Hi I'm new to this forum and to three wheeling. I have a long history with snowmobiling but just getting into ATVs.
My question is this:
I bought a 83 and a 85 Honda ATC 200x. I want to rebuild the forks. I have the tools and have rebuilt serveral snowmobile shocks. So can I rebuild the front forks myself and where do I find a manual info ect on how to do them and do I need any special tool.
Next the swing arm bearings are shot on the 83. Can I replace them or should I look for a good used swing arm.
Finally the wheels on the 83 are different on the 83 than the 85. The rims on the 85 have four lug holes that bolt onto a hub. The 83 has one splined hole in the middle of the rim that slides onto a splined axle and is held onto by one castle nut. Is that an "after market" type thing or is that stock for the 83s.
Sorry for such newbie questions. I hope i can find some info here. I tried the search function. I found answers to other questions but not these.
Thank is advance for any help:beer
