new 200x

[zawamj]

I am going to look at/pick up a 1984 200x tomorrow. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? Also, how reliable are these bikes?

the 200x's are pretty reliable, i would make sure that the suspension is in good shape and that the bearings are still in good shape, also check for rust in the gas tank.

the kick start, if its slipping, it only gets worse and you have to split the case to fix it. jim

I bought the bike. I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance to take some. It runs decent, looks pretty good, and came with a rather interesting parts frame/bike. Has anyone bought a carb off of ebay for one of these? I took the carb apart to clean it and it is missing the o-ring and washer for the pilot screw. When I looked up carb kits these carbs came up and are only $25. Just wondering if they are a good replacement, seems kind of cheap.
