Chances are if you sell it to buy a newer model the problems you have will just appear with the new bike, just ask your self what you want it for ?
The Xr 200 is one of the most reliable off road bikes made.
If it was mine price up a second hand verses rebuilt shock
Tyres $ 120 you will notice a vast improvement in fresh rubber.
Front brake fit new shoes, check cable is it stretched? if hub is worn space the cam.
Forks new oil & seals, Home job these forks are basic.
Foot pegs are they worn or droopy ? second hand , if droopy a spot of tig weld to lift them up.
Done right the little XR will run for another 30yrs

The forks fine, have done selas etc on it and it works great. Rear shock has leaked and enguages half way through its travel.

For your shock give Gaudenz Gisler a ring at Gisler Moto technic he'll be able to fix your shock and make it fit the Xr by shortening the shaft, he's in the white pages and lives in Tuakau.

It fits ok. Buts leaking oil. My guess its dropped enough to lose dampening. Motoone reckons they can do it for $100. I think a heavier spring would be a good idea.

I also think a $60 kiwi tyre will do.

Just got to work out a bearing kit for the prolink bits.
