85 200x,how you think its worth

[leevarnado]

found this 85 200x,looks awsome.good plastics,good tires,twist throttle.guy says it runs but hard to start.need to know what to offer him.maybe going to pick it up tomorrow or the next day.he is asking $350 but i have talked him into trading my 200e and a aluminum boat for it.

[chris200x]

Id pay 350 for it,, take it home,, then immediatly take off those god aweful headlights! :D

If it runs, doesnt smoke,, and is tight.. jump on it!

apperently the front tire is worth that much! :rolleyes:

[braunz200x]

worth $350 for sure


chris200x, what's the problem with those lights?

They look allot better than those HUGE round baja's or w.e you got on that 350x IMO

No hard feelings just my 2 cents

[chris200x]

let me take those covers off and shine them in your eyes....:D then give me your opnion. actually thats an oldschool (made newby a memeber here) baja setup my uneducated freind. those ones on there look hillbilly to me.. but thats just my opnion.

[braunz200x]

your a funny guy chris maybe you can shed some light on why you think its necessary to post comments about other peoples lights when you have a setup like that on your trike :D

[leevarnado]

hey,come on now,go start a thread else where,this one is mine,lol.

[braunz200x]

Sorry man, thats a badass 200x and chris200x im just joshin i really like that threefittyx of yours http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[chris200x]

there were nothing out of line with my posts... I told you I'd buy it.. but loose the lights,, then I inforemed a fellow member of the lights I'm running. no harm no foul... :D

Looks pretty good to me and if you can get it without any money coming out of your pocket all the better.

thats what I sold mine for, with tranny going out and with the kick start return spring broken. I would be on this deal, if you have the money.

[85200xrider]

id buy it right up for 350...why are all the good deals far away :(

[leevarnado]

well this isn't exactly a close drive.374 miles one way.

[factoryX]

well, its a trade off now isn't it, long drive = good ride... as for it being hard to start, carb cleaned, oil changed, new spark plug, and good gas should solve the problem.

[Macs]

If you dont get it let me know.

[leevarnado]

well i pick up the 85 200x today,its needs some tlc,but it has it goods on it.new front and rear fenders.dam near new front and rear tires.twist throttle,man its gonna take some getting used to that,first ride and i fliped it back,lol.really could use a 6th gear.i have 86 200x parts engine,will trade parts from it for xr200 trans or the whole motor for a xr200 bottom end.will post more pics tomorrow.

[AutoXer]

Wow congrats on the sweet deal I can't wait to get mine done

[leevarnado]

here some pics of the trike after i got it home and cleaned it up alittle.had to pull off the 200e with the rope.

[Dave's1985200X]

Nice find my friend..........350.00, can't beat it.

What exhaust is in that thing? Is that a supertrapp??

Good luck with it

[leevarnado]

its a corba exhaust.

[leevarnado]

pulled the top end of today.wasnt pretty.

[leevarnado]

pull the top end of the 200x today. just to have a look around,wasn't a pretty site.looks like the previous owner put a wiseco 12:1 piston in it,used old gaskets and put rtv on them.that stuff was everywhere.dont know much about the 12:1 piston but will it cause this.look at the pictures.also couple pics of the piston,doesn't look to bad,just a nik or two on top,sides looks real good.if i were to reuse the piston,what else would be needed to make it run right.

[trizilla]

that head and cam look like their junk to me. its also missing the rubber plug next to the small bearing. did you remove it? on that piston, i'd clean it up and quickly hone the cyl then install some new rings and pin clips. and that piston had nothing to do with the damage to the bearing surfaces on the head and cam.

[leevarnado]

wasn't planning on reusing the head and cam,lol.no rubber plug,i know the oil pump is working,i tested that before i took the top end off.with the piston being a 12:1,wont i need hd valve springs,better cam,cam chain.idk,im just asking.

[trizilla]

i personally wouldnt run the 12:1 piston. you already have it though , re ring it and put some new pin clips in it. technically you wouldnt need to run anything better than stock for the rest of the parts. well, maybe some high octane fuel for that big piston.

[The Goat]

lee.....high octane fuel is a must with that piston.

if you need a top end...I got one with a crap jug that you can have for 50 bucks...I'll even bring the thing to you. I'm missing the valve springs...but I think I have new valves for it? no idea.

if you want...I can also any parts you would like at cost.

[leevarnado]

i appreciate that goat, but i have a couple more 200x heads.how high of a octane do i need for it.

[leevarnado]

had alot of spare time lately,so i rebuilt the topend with a wiseco 10:25:1,xr200 cam and new gaskets.took carb apart and let it set in some evapo rust for a few days.figured it could use some new paint.got a few cans of high temp paint and high temp clear.(i know its not going to last as long as pc but it will look good until i can afford the real deal)got everything painted,put motor in and took it for a ride.man it really rips.tried a wheelie in 3rd in gravel and i wont be doing that again.will post up some pics tomorrow.

[tulsamike3434]

I would do it in a second! even if it did smoke lol!
