Since a number of use have a modified (or to be) 200x I figured we might as well start a thread just to talk about what we plan on doing so that we can compile a bunch of info in one spot.
For starters this is the setup I am planning on for my 200x engine wise.
-XR 6 speed transmission
-new kick start springs
-new shift return springs
-new clutch disks and springs, probably EBC but maybe Versa, I haven’t heard what is better or if I should use the heavy duty or not
-Wiesco 10.25:1 compression piston
-new valves and guides, probably versa
-new Precision Machining valve springs
-Honda 200 valve cover with compression release
-new DID cam chain
-new cam maybe XR200, maybe web
-oil cooler, I have the hookups just need the cooler
-26mm XR200 carb. and intake
-DG RCM exhaust
-K&N filter with outerwear and no air box lid
-all new gaskets and seals
The engine for mine won’t be done until next summer though because this summer will be spent working on getting the frame ready, rolling, and maybe even able to stop.
What are your plans?
Better yet, what have you done and how do you like it?

I have ordered a 26mm carb for a xr200. The carb came in today. I hope to get it tomorrow. I will post on how well it does. Currently I have a 28mm Keihin on it right now.
I have a Web cam in mine. All around(365 lift). Megacycle offers a 370 lift. They say for better mid and top end.
I will have pics of mine soon. I know I keep saying that. But I have to borrow a digital camera to do it with. Plus it has rained alot around here lately too..
One hint though. Buy Honda Cam chain guides. I bought the cheaper version. They are noisy. They work, but a friend said they won't last the year????? I have the DID cam chain. Beat for money. That is who makes Honda.Good luck

Gimme time, still working the best ones out..... SO MANY OPTIONS:cry: :confused:
I do know I will have complete topend of the xr. I am thinkin I am gonna conquer the tranny, by swapping some stuff around.:shocked: Researching that one now.
XR crank, heavy duty timing chain, (didnt like what I read in general tech). Thats it for now. Decompression. And that is one engine:hail:
I have a second that is going under as well.

What kind of guides did you go with? Parts Unlimited?
bones200x
04-08-2005, 06:59 PM
LOL yes..Parts unlimited...I guess some things are better by brand name...
I guess the old saying "live and learn" holds true.
If I have to tear this engine down anytime sone, I will buy Honda ones.

my 86 200x has a 84r front end, 350x tripples, +4 duarblue axle, works rear shock, holeshot xcr's, fender brace, roll design 86/87 trx250r pegs, and to be done as of next week a ported/polished motor and 27mm carb and new intake tube. I'm gonna have bradied lines made for it. ALso I have a supertapp exhaust on it. The list of mods to my 250r is a real long one
thefox
04-09-2005, 09:44 AM
Jen- Do you know if there is a difference in the XR and X crank or are you just using it because it is there?
Bones - Thanks for the tip about the guides. I have not been impressed with Parts Unlimited quality for any of their parts.
Deathman - Have you used braded lines on other trikes? I have heard that they help a lot with street bikes but can you tell much of a difference on a trike?
deathman53
04-09-2005, 05:38 PM
I think they work better on trikes. I have them on my 250r and the back is alot better, the front is 200% better as I have a 400ex master cylinder on it. there is a reason why all the racers use braided lines, also has the brakes heat up, the rubber lines expand more, the steel lines won't expand. When the lines expand, there is less brake fluid pressure and it requires more effect to stop.
jenndnn3
04-10-2005, 08:40 AM
There are no differences between the cranks, bearings, or rods. But the full cankshaft pulls a different part number. I am thinking because the timing chain has pulled one as well that piece is what may be different. At this time I havent actually gotten to those part numbers yet. The part number matching is extremely tedious work. I will get there soon. I am concentrting on getting the engine sandblasted right now. Then painted. Then systematically painted. Useing the xr crank should add nothing to the performance as far as I know. Iwas jus basically letting everyone know it could be done.

Thanks for passing that along. Looks like it's worth the extra bucks to get the OEM ones.
I had one of their carb rebuild kits and the float valve was faulty.

04-11-2005, 06:24 PM
First of all. My internet has been down for 5 days.
I installed a XR200 carb and intake on my 200X. You will have to slightly modify your intake air boot. I can't beleive the throttle reponse it has. Will pull front end up about 2 inches just using gas in 3rd!!!. If I hit it hard it will pull it up. I am very Happy now.
I didn't have to change jets. I have a Camera for this coming weekend!!!!!!!yaaaahhhhhh for everyone wanting pics.

04-12-2005, 09:58 AM
Welcome back! if you can take some real good pictures of how you hooked that up. Where you ordered it and part#'s. You porbably posted elsewhere I apologize if I missed it.
Fox, If you put the decompression I dont see a need for the heavy duty kicker spring. But that is just an opinion. Based on what I have seen, this is where the weakness lies. Xr handles the same componets just fine with heavier compression. The difference, decompression. But a while your in there I guess wouldnt hurt.
Glenn
04-12-2005, 11:32 AM
I'll second Jenn's request. We're all having a hard time figuring out exactly what intake will work with the XR carb.

I figure that since it will be apart I might as well replace the springs, I will go with ones from Honda. I haven't decided what I am going to do for the decompression, I might go with a simple lever to flip each time like the regular honda 200's or I may try to rig up a cable so I don't have to reach all the way down to the top of the head:cry: . I was thinking about hooking the cable up to a lever on the left handle bar like some dirt bikes or maybe mount a dash with a pull knob that some machines use for the choke.
bones200x
04-12-2005, 08:36 PM
The intake.....16210-KT0-000
The carb....Don't have part number. It fit a 87 XR200...
Where bought.....My Honda dealer.....All parts availible... Intake $23-26
Carb retail was $200 or so...
The only thing of how it fits. Is at the back of the carb. It is very close to the top shock mount. I used a peice of pvc pipe (i had a spare intake boot) inserted about 2 inches before the original end (for stock carb). And a peice of car radiator hose to splice the two together. The thin radiator hose works fine close to shock.
I had a friend of mine ride it yesterday. (he used to race 200x's back in their day). He was very impressed. He said not as fast as racers, But very good bottom to mid.
I dont know if much of a race or not. But a friend of mine has a 250sx. We are going riding Saturday. I know we will hook up..
I will try to find part numbers for carb tomorrow. Lost my receipt.lol
As far as I know. All XR200's has a 26mm carb.Just different jets. Mine has a 38 pilot.....110 main....I haven't changed anything EXCEPT lowering needle ONE groove.
Has anyone used the megacycle cams? Mine is .365 lift....They have a .370 lift. They state better mid and added top end....?????

Excellent I already have an 87, the only thing missing is the carb. When you get a oppurtunity, could you take a pict of the carb and the setup. Thx Jen
Glenn
04-13-2005, 01:12 PM
Yeah, I'd love a pic of that set up as well!
Thanks for the info! That manifold puts it at the correct angle?
Intake from servicehonda.com:
16210-KT0-000 $20.3
Here's what I came up with for carbs for a 2002 XR200R....(servicehonda.com prices)
16100-KT0-L00 CARBURETOR (PD97B A)
Servicehonda.com price: $116.87
16100-KT0-A10 CARBURETOR (PD97A C)
Servicehonda.com price: 116.87
I'm REALLY tempted to do this setup. I'm assuming it'll still make a decent difference on a stock motor. May be worth the $150 to find out.......Hmmmm.

I think you can get a late model 200R carb to work.
thefox
04-14-2005, 12:34 PM
The clymer book lists the...
86-87 XR200R carb as a PD97A (the book only goes to '87)
81-83 XR200R carb as a PD28A
XR200 carb as a PD32A
Glenn, is it $116 for the complete carb, jets and everything? That sound slike a good price.
I have the PD28A that I am going to try.
bones200x
04-14-2005, 09:50 PM
Carb numbers are PD97A....
87 xr200r. I think the only kind made in 87-92.
My jets are 110 main...38 pilot
The intake is at the right angle. Like I said, If you use the radiator hose off of a car (1 1/4- 1 5/16) it will work fine.
Just a little tight at the TOP shock mount bolt.Need to cut intake boot about 2 inches back from original end. I will have photos this weekend.
I used a piece of 1 1/4" pvc pipe and attached the radiator hose to it. I would advise painting pvc pipe black. Mine is white. Should show up in photo good.
Oh....IMPORTANT: the carb studs DOESN'T COME WITH INTAKE. DON'T FORGET TO ORDER!

Has anyone tried to put 85-86 250R rear fenders on an 83-85 200X? I know the front fender mounts right up and looks good but how close is the rear fender? I found a nice used fender set of Maier plastic for a 250R and I like the looks of the 250R rear fender but my 200X is not near me or complete enough to test fit them.

All right BONES
Now there is 2 of use that have the same carb set-up(except mines of a 1990 xr200r) and it works.
There has been so much discussion about this set-up on this board and atvconnection.com forums and alot of people think that its impossible.
Heck our airboot mods with the pvc pipe is even the same, at least we're on the same page.lol
My jetting is a little different though, with my mods I'm running a 42 pilot and 118 main jet

Well....good....we are on the same page.
I finally got to ride mine today (Sat.) It runs great.
It can out run 2 things!!!!!!!!yyaaaahhhhh.I out run a xr100 by 3-4 bike links. I out ran a 250sx by....uh...don't know. When I went by him in 3rd...he quit..lol
The 250sx got me on take off, Took me till 3rd to catch up and pass.
The pic looks almost like my set Haywwod. I guess I don't have to post any now..lol...Even though I took some with a 35mm camera today. The digital camera feel through. But Walmart has plenty of camera's
This is just a question, maynot mean anything. The exhaust pipe on my X turns withish after I have rode it awhile. Not necessarily wide open or putting around. I was going through a lot of mud. The plug looks great. ??? Is this normal? I have painted the pipe black.I usually notice it after I have stopped riding.Oh well....
I raised my needle back up to the 3rd groove. Helped on top end. I adjusted my timing was high. (1 or less mm)
Well...I got to get some rest...later all.

Haywood and Bones, This info is very much apreciatted thank you very much!! I am now almost completely stripped down and have started my shopping list. Then it goes back to together, shine and all.
Wanna hear the list? its very very ugly.:shocked: I rarely use service honda due to adding shipping everything costs the same, and this time service honda is being bought out. The hardest decision I am having right now is, do I replace all the needle bearings inside the cases. I know do it while your in there thing, but crap, Im replacing everything else already lol.

04-18-2005, 01:55 PM
I am going to go with the XR carb. too. I was thinking of holding out for a slightly bigger carb. but why bother. Jetting will be allot easier with the xr and so will installation, besides I ride using mainly low and mid range anyway so now need for a big topend carb.
jenndnn3
04-18-2005, 03:56 PM
As you can see, there is a slight gap. If you can deal with that, then I think you will be fine. Thats of course is an r seat so I recommend the x seat for more flush fit with gas tank.

04-18-2005, 04:00 PM
Fox to answer your question I just dont know quite yet, I keep changing my mind. Once the engine goes back together I will answer.
thefox
04-18-2005, 05:40 PM
Thanks Jen, that is just what I was looking for. That gap doesn't look that bad and I do like the looks of the R fenders more then the X fenders and it now opens up a few more color choices. It would be nice if the old maier low profile racing fenders were still available (or if I had more then just the right side:( ). lol, right now the hardest decision I have is picking the color scheme, I want something that looks a little different but I don't want to paint any plastic.

XR200 cranks are different. The XR 446 rod is wider at the big end and much longer lasting. The crank halves are narrower where the pin is located. 200X cranks generally run shims each side of the rod where the XR does not.
Over here XR 200 carbs are 30mm and run a 138 main jet std. At first glance they look the same externally, but have bigger slide and cap. The standard 200X inlet manifold can be ported to match the 30mm carb.
jenndnn3
04-20-2005, 08:50 AM
The parts numbers I crossed referenced on the 2 cranks and popped the same numbers when it was in pieces. As a whole unit it popped 2 different part numbers. :shrug: I will check some of things out of curiosity sake tho. At this time since it is in best shape it the xr is going in. Thank you for info.
Glenn
04-20-2005, 11:22 AM
Wow! A 30mm carb? That's pretty big....
bones200x
04-20-2005, 05:38 PM
Every xr 200 I have checked runs a 26mm carb. They vary in jets from 98(I think) to a 115. Where is a 30mm carb? What years?
My XR carb came with a 110 main and a 38 pilot. Mine was for a 87 XR.
I know the inlet side is larger than the slide, But it is still rated a 26mm?
All I know is with the mods I have done. The XR carb runs the best. I have tried a 28mm, It was a pain to try to get "right".
Not saying you are wrong, (Lord knows I have been too),
I can't tell anything about the cases or cranks.I'm waiting on someone here to clear it up.....
jenndnn3
04-20-2005, 06:34 PM
Ok I found the shims. BUT the million dollar question, If every part is the same part number why shims in the 200x? So I need to measure the rod I supposse, but according to parts numbers they are the same. So now I am slightly confused. Greenhuman what you say makes sense. I wont have any problems running without shims will I?
thefox

Bones - Greenhuman is from Australia. Sometimes there will be slightly different specs between countries because the bikes pass standards set by each government or for sometimes no apparent reason at all.

Hey Markb...what did the 31mm intake valve fit (that you put in your 200x)??????????
one more thing..Did the 350x shock bolt in, or was it a MOD thing?
markb
05-04-2005, 06:14 AM
the 31mm was a pretty good fit, i took it to my regular auto machine shop and it went smooth. 1mm oversize doesn't seem like much but it's circumference not diameter that the charge sees.
as a note to anybody that gets involved in it, learn from my xr100 experience.
kibblewhite list a 1 mm os exhaust and a 2mm os intake for the 100. they DO NOT fit! i talked with them 4 times and had the head in the valve machine 4 times only to learn they don't work in that motor because of spacing. if anybody is thinking of this contact me and i can go thru it with you.
the 350 shock is a custom that i got into like the 250r forks because i weigh too much for the 200x. i've got it on a aftermarket swinger that has a little bit different contruction than stock but still has the same problem. they don't have enough room between the tubes to fit the 350 spring. i had to make a prototype link from aluminium and i couldn't believe that i got the thing pretty close with just dumb luck, i like it better in the woods than the 250. the next problem was the swingarm angle that i created which was too steep and made the bike tippy in the open. i short term fixed it with the 20*9 wheels and have since found a shock/ spring that will fit into the arm allowing me to lower it. i haven't had the bike back together in awhile after i lost a wrist pin bore and have been on other things. i was going to buy a new honda crank for it and avoid the rebuild hassle but after my 100 experience i'm rethinking it. i've had 2 bad 100 cranks from honda now and i'm hoping my third is good cause i want the thing together. i'll post a pic so you can see the problems.

I think he's talking about oversized valves no working.
markb
05-04-2005, 07:25 PM
i'm sorry i probably could have made that a little more clear.
i was refering to the xr100 on those 2 valves only. their os 200x piece was fine.
i mentioned it because if you look at their web site for the 100 it leads you to believe they fit easily.
after i pushed them on it he said he didn't know how people got them to fit they just made them to fill a demand.
we had to sink the intake about .08 and the exhaust is sunk to the limit of the seat diameter.
after all that i had to have them make custom shorter stem valves to make up for the sinking and i am back to running stock exhaust dia. to make it work. it's off the trike topic but i'm still a little hacked off after spending a couple of hundred bucks on 2 valves.
speed costs money how fast do you want to go?

Well I picked up a set of 250R fenders for the X. Now just to figure out how to mount them and make a seat fit. I think I am going to go with the blue fenders, white tank and frame, black seat and engine. Of course the one new part I order already were the red super scoops:doh: looks like they will be up for sale soon as I now need white ones.

Welcome to the board! so tell me about your decompression lever. Is it auto or manual. I put manual on mine, but I can already tell I wont be happy with this setup, next step is to put manual to handle bars. I used the 200e decompression. The stuff you have so far sounds great. I too chose a 13 tooth. I am anxious to see how well that goes.

The con rod pin brg etc part #'s are not the same between the 200x and the xr200!!.

Oops! I was wrong The con rod is the different part numbered piece. It's actually from the 79-82 XL185S. So it may not be as long as the xr200 rod, besides being thinner at the big end.

What kind of exhaust systems do people have on there 86 or 87 200x?? Is there somthing other than the old DG or Cobra system from the 80? I wondered if I used a performance header pipe and a new muffler with a spark arrestor. I have'nt look that hard for somthing but I'd like some ideas.

Funny thing. I had a XR185 come in and need piston. XR/200x piston pin is same size. Piston is 2 mm ABOVE the XR bore. So I bored it. The only thing I used was a 10.25:1 piston. It was 0.008-0.010" TALLER than cylinder. Machined out head for it to fit WITHOUT gasket. Then installed everything. Runs better than stock. And looks like you could bore 1mm more?
The only reason I tried was that they discontinued the XR stuff. Customer was very impressed.

I have a Bassani pipe on my '85 200X. Recently bought a 200x w/o an engine & sight unseen for $40.00. Sounds damn good, eh?! What got delivered was a motor-less 200X . . .With a 3" over Westcoast swinger and braided brake lines. Hooo Yaaaah!
