XR200 tips wanted

[nzspokes]

I know that a grand is a lot to spend but listen to these motors.....

I have listened to them, and they sound great. Wish I had the extra 4 hundy. Got some stuff on Tm that may sell.

Would be a great project. I would say that you will sell a good few of these to re-powers. I would be real happy to review the conversion.

Does it come with a manual on how to put it all together?

Question, I see they have an electric start. Do they need a battery to run?

Yes im back interested. At least that way I know what I have. No idea how I will come up with the cash. Will think on it.

Wow, thanks mate. I would struggle to get there during work hours due to my work. If I can work out how to get there I will let you know.

Thanks, very cool offer.

They only need the battery to start- not to run. If you paid me the $500 I could let you pay the rest off over 3 months. you won't need a manual - its plug and play

Cool, will seriously think about it then.

I could just run it on kickstart then?

My exhaust should bolt up?

Oh, does it come with a sprocket? or would mine fit?

Would I need anything else apart from oil?

will need your carb and pipe or I can do stainless steel pipe for $102 and carb for $96.00 15t sprocket supplied.

Well Im fucked If I can get the thing apart. The flywheel wont move and the head allen bolts have been way over tightened. Ive got to drill one out. The screws holding the CDI wont undo either. Im guessing the monkey that rebuilt it over tightened everything.

No one will get back to me either. Im interested in that $200 trademe motor and a parts bike. But they wont respond to me.

Getting a bit over it.

Flywheel are you using a puller or is it the nut?

Have you been using a drift to free the thread on the bolts and screws do you have acesss to a impact driver?Have you tried heat?

on a few hondas you can use the rear axel to help remove the flywheel I cant recall if the XR200 is one of them.

Im not using the tools I need to be doing. So have stopped untill I get help our the right tools. And my gas torch is loaned out.

So here is my options,

1, New motor from Cavey. $1000. Gives me everything I need. Awesome deal.

2, Buy this, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=406710880 which has newly rebuilt motor. I could then just ride it. And slowly rebuild my motor which is 230 and drop into whichever is the best frame. Then sell off the remaining bike to get some money back.

3, Just keep trying to rebuild my motor.

4, Buy this if resonable price, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=412639179 but 5 hours away.

Hey Spokes, you seem to be looking at way too many options, when you still dont know what is wrong with your origonal engine.
I would take Barty up on his kind offer to remove flywheel [ special tool required ], & while he,s at it can check whats visible so far & advise on further dissasembly.
I have a spare good workshop manual if you want. Ring me during working hours on 06/8353396.
I know it is fun to dream about modified bikes, but the reality is that: the real beauty of riding stock XR200,s well, is how much can be achieved with so little!
And also how much fun can be had doing this.

Cheers mate, Will ring a bit later.

I would be happy to rebuild my motor but hitting a wall with it. If i can work a time to get to see Barty I will. Very busy at work.

I dont want to modify at all, just ride it. It was only supposed to be a fun project which has become a drama.

See, I told you that you were doing this project all wrong. If you’d done this my way, the forks would still be in bits on the workbench and you’d not have found the engine issues. Then, by the time you were bothered enough to put the forks back together, you’d have lost interest and just sold it on without even starting it.

I may be lazy, but there is method in my slackness…
