[adamd]

i just picked up a 83 200x got it from the original owner and got a goood deal i think. what u guys think

[adamd]

heres some more extra parts also came with another front fender and a set of 18in tires that idk if thy hold air yet or not look like they probaly will

[factoryX]

good deal! what did you pay to get the bike and all the extras?

[WIkid500]

Looks like a very nice bike. A little time cleaning and polishing you will have a nice ride to hit the trails with. Nice score!

[adamd]

i payed 450 seemed like a deal couldnt pass up only thing its missing is a grab bar but it did come with a very interisting cooler rack not mounted but will fit.

it has been seting for alongg time im cleaning the carb right now lots of gummed up i am going to ultra sonic clean the carb here at work.

also inytips on what i need to look for on a bike thats been seting for that long?

[leevarnado]

nice bike,gotta love them trial pro's.u can buy a set then pass them on down to your grand kids.lol.i have a few sets of them.i let my nephews give em hell.

[adamd]

got the carb all part its perty dirty. i got it in the ultra sonic cleaner and its really cleaning it up. i put a new plug in it old one had no spark. new ngk sparks good.

i am going to need a new air filter for sure.

but it looks like i got me a good deal gas tank dosnt have a spec of rust in it and only a few scratches.

i found the build date was 3/83 so it was close to the first 200x's made right?

[adamd]

ok i went and looked inyone herd of armstrong multi track tires ? there 18x9.5-8

Looks like a very nice deal to me, as for the early build you have to remember they start making the next years model in September or October the year before. Not sure when the '83 200x was introduced to the market but if it wasn't mid model year then it would be a mid year or latter 83...

[adamd]

ya i was just going by the 03/83 on the build date and the carb has cleaned up very nice would almost say it was the worst looking carb i have had apart and proly the best looking one i have put back togther

[dcreel]

Looks a lot like mine that I got for $600 with a lot less stuff. I even had trail pros on the back of mine. Trail Pros will not allow a 200x to slide. I replaced them with 18" turf tamers and its now a totally different trike.

The multi-trac is a good flat track tire. Here is an ad for the sale of them.
