I had a whole XL200 you could have had but i lefta t my folks house, they got pissed off with it and sold it at a garage sale for 20 bucks... cunts. I have an '85 XR 250R (single shocker though) under my house that's in a bad way. I'll see if my mate wants to get rid of it if you're keen?

YEP KEEN as

It has the motor. the clutch is fucked though. the main bearing holding the shaft that the clutch is on is gone and the basket has been bouncing around in there. Basket fucked and obviousely the bearing needs replacing... I'm yet to split the cases because my mate was unsure what he wanted to do with it but have seen a fair few metal chunks and suspect there could be worse damage. It's the twin carb/twin header model.

I'll speak to him tonight and let ya know here

they never went for very long , mate had one was an utter pig to start but great fun once it was going
shat all over my twin shock xr265 to
then his brother kindly decided to wash it as a favor and put jif in the motor was never the same again

I might have a spare CDI and coil for a 2 valver loafing. Maybe other bits and pieces, I'll have a look. I have a 2 valver workshop manual.

What I'm looking for is a XL/XR 250 donk for my KX125 '97 roller which has had the cradle modified for one to just slot in. Everything but the motor, carb and custom header is there and the bike is just waiting for an implant. I kept the 4" supertrapp just for it too!

Why don't you drop a KDX motor in it Evan?

Good question, worth answering!
!. I am a closet four stroker.
2. The cradle has brackets welded into it ready for a Honda 250 motor
3. The electrics have been rewired complete with CDI and coil for the Honda 250 4T
4. Throttle cable is a Honda one
5. Air box has been sorted for the Honda carby
6. Oil cooler is custom fit on steering head below number board for 4T

And where would I find a rare KDX200 motor complete with electrics?

If you don't want to 'part it' how 'bout a straight swap so you can use the KX forks on your KDX!

Hey old school what models does that manual cover ????

[kezzafish]

newsflash...

Just went down and had a good look for part numbers/frame numbers on the XR... the frame says it's a 1985 XR 250R but i noticed at the bottom of the barrel it has 199cm3 (cubed) cast in the metal. WTF???? was there a twin carb 200 made? has someone put this barrel on it after manufacture?? questions questions

still haven't heard back from me matey by the way
