There are a couple of critical items that the 86/87 has discontinued..... I'm looking into some of the items swapping although the part numbers have changed slightly.

Of course we all wish we could rig the electric start up from the 200SX to the 200X and I'm not thoroughly convinced it can't be done - not just yet anyhow..........

I found machining within my 87 cases that made them similar to the 200SX electric start stuff, especially behind the flywheel that leads me to believe something may be possible.

I may have to buy a junk used quad motor to see whats up!

Does anyone know how many speeds the 200SX was in 86/87 and 88 (last year I believe)?? Did any of them have reverse and were they auto clutch in any year??

Thanks for any help and further discussion on the electric start possibilities and other interesting MAYBE'S??!!.

A few of you have looked into a direct motor swap and found that it will not work, but the GUTZ may be another story...... :D

Still curious how many speeds they had and furthermore, the gearing ratios......

The 200sx quad is a 5 speed auto clutch with reverse. Reverse is engaged on the left brake lever like the 250sx does.

What he said, my buddy has had one for as long as I can remember.

are you guys sure the 200sx resembles the second gen x's? for some reason i was thinkin they were first gen based. i rode one once. 5 speed auto with reverse as the others said. i thought it really ripped, but of course i was getting off a kawi 300 bayou (those things were tanks). the sx was the second quad i ever rode.

Definitely 2nd gen all the way. Same repair manual as well. LOL
