odd questions

[83BigRED]

1) What is the difference between a Honda 200M and all the other 200s. Why did Honda make it?

2) What are the do's and don'ts of running a oversized high comp piston. Is it safe? I heard they arent worth it because the original engine was built to stock specs and they will destroy any engine. Can an engine take it?

just odd questions i have on my mind

[ATCRYDER]

1. the 200M has e-start...S didnt.

2. I dont even understand what you are saying here :doh:

Good luck,

Is there any more stress on a engine when there is an over sized high comp piston running. (ie.) can u run a high comp piston in a 200M? Can the engine handle the pressure since it wasnt engineered to handle a bigger more powerful piston? if that helps just wondering

also are there any differences engine/frame wise between a big red and 200M?

[Mr. Richard]

can o worms here,,,,, it gets more technical ,, you could run 10:1 without any problems,,, when you start going higher then there are issues ,, honda over engineers pretty well, so i wouldn't worry about 10 to 1 at all,,,,,,,,

[83BigRED]

Can u feel a significant power increase with a 10:1. Was there anything diffrent between a 200E and 200M?

[ATCnut]

Need to know what year 200e and what year 200m. I think they were both unsuspended trikes, so more power may be very hard to control.

[83BigRED]

is there diffrences in the 200M years. I know the 200E Brs were 82-84 what were the 200Ms? any diffrences between the years?

[250sx]

I think the 200m was kinda the same bike but w/o reverse.

the only thing I'd be concerned about with a high-comp piston would be starter life.

[Fuzzy]

You could look up starters between the 200e and a 200m and see if they are the same starter. Because if i am not mistaken the 200e came with a 10:-1 piston stock. So it would tell you weither your starter could handle it or not.

[200S]

The 200M was based on the ATC 200 (where the 200S was based on the 185S) and came with electric start, 25" tires (vs 22" on the 200S), and a couple of inches of front suspension. I believe the 200M was made from 84-86 like the 200S. The 200E was the original Big Red and had reverse and racks. The 200M is a good trike with a little more ground clearance than the S model due to the larger tires, however it is also heavier and therefore a little slower (in stock form) than the 200S. They are both really fun trikes. I can't wait to get my S running again. The workshop is almost complete and I have accumulated some parts, so I hope to get started soon. I am sick of riding quads!

[84200s/m]

200s 200m diff

200s 22in tires 8in wheels different rear axle different frame different air box different bottem end for motor electric start different stator setup shifts different head lights smaller different wireing harness different header and muffler different trunk light different rear rack different footbreak different rear sprocket and hub for sprocket to go on different hubs 200s has chain gard
thats all i can think of right now i will tell more later once i go take a good look at them

[200S]

Crap! I didn't realize there was that much difference!! I thought the frames were the same, cool you learn something new everyday. :doh:

[83BigRED]

no the Big red and the 200M had 7.8/1 piston

[Fuzzy]

Yep you are correct. I stand corrected. I was told they used the same piston as a 200x. So i assumed they ran 10:-1. :doh:

[Unregistered]

all this talk about m and s can i use my 200 s piston head and jug on my 200 m

[YamaChuck]

My book lists the 200, E, ES, M and S models as all being 7.8:1

[Technogeek]

200e was built for 83 0nly
200es was built for 84 0nly
200mwas built for 84 0nly

[84200s/m]

200m was made in 85

[Technogeek]

my mistake:doh:
