Finally found a 1986 200x **Updated Pics pg 9**

Hi All,

I've been lurking for a while and waiting to post until I've actually bought a trike. But thats actually taken a lot longer than expected. And I dont want that dude (Syko) on the atc 70 to show up at my house so I figured I'd better post soon.

Heres my story... One Im sure you've heard before. I had a trike when I was in high school. Havent had one in twenty years. Now I live in an area where I can ride (south shore Mass). So Im getting into it again.

So heres my question... I located an 86 200x. Hes asking $500 bucks for it. One of the things wrong with it is the kicker shaft is stripped. Do you have to split the case to change that shaft? Are they available? How much does the shaft go for?

Thanks for any help!

And of course this site is awesome. I check in almost everyday.

i dont belive you have to crack the case for it, but you will have to remove the right side engine case/clutch cover to get to it. as for parts availibility, not sure, but you can check with service honda or bike bandit or even your local dealer for the parts, or you could always put a post in the classiifeds that your looking for them parts. some one here mroe then likely has one laying around. lots of great guys, and a few girls on here, with alot of good info and advice. welcome to the boards...

Welcome Seabass!!!

Enjoy your stay here.

You are looking for Honda Part Number - HO28251-HB5-020 (Description - Spindle) Looks like they may still be available through Honda for about $85

Also - as Scooterroo says - by the looks of the microfiche - it appears you can replace it without splitting the cases

welecome to the site and i would jump on that only 500$ why not

**SeaBass8** · 10-31-2007, 03:15 PM

Thanks for the info guys.

Im going to take a look at it this weekend. I havent seen any pictures of it yet so I dont know what kinda shape the trike is in. If its in decent shape and mostly complete I'll get it. I wanted to gets a heads up as to how "big" a job the kicker shaft will be if I buy it.

well if its anything like some of the ones i have changed out, its as simple as removing the clutch cover, remove the kicker shaft and gear and slap a new one in it, new gasket and put it back together. i dont think they are all that hard to change.

**Dirtcrasher** · 10-31-2007, 07:01 PM

Welcome... I'm on the South Shore myself. We rip it up just about every Sunday. Be foreworned though, it isn't "easy" riding and almost never legal but always FUN!!

**Eric250R** · 10-31-2007, 08:32 PM

And just buy it, then proceed to buy every trike you see after that. You'll thank me later....

**SeaBass8** · 10-31-2007, 08:40 PM

Thanks Scoot. That doesn't sound bad at all. I'll let you know how it goes this weekend.

There are ladys on here, what's there names and how old? Its been a dream of mine to find a girl my age(18) and who rides a 3 wheeler

**tyman** · 10-31-2007, 10:05 PM

the 86 kicker shaft is pretty easy to change... changed one myself once... pay attention to how you tore it apart... the kicker assembly is weird ( think atleast ).... but hey if a 16 year old can fix one, i'm sure you can.....

I'm serious, that would be badbutt to have a girlfriend that rides a 3wheeler, but as long as she dosent ride better than you

Well I did it! Im back in baby!

I went and got it last night. 1986 200x. It had been sitting in a shed for the last 4 years. It looks a little rougher than I would have liked but for $350 I cant complain. Its the year/model I've been looking for for a while now. I'd say its about 90% complete.

Some things that are gonna need fixin -
Replace kick shaft and kick lever
Exhaust dosnet look right. Might be wrong year? Busted studs?
Looks like it has some oil leaks. I can see oil on the skid plate.
Rear brake resivoir is junk
Gas cap
Missing grab bar and rear light
Rear plastic junk. Head light plastic junk

Thats what I can see anyway. I'm sure more stuff Im not seeing.

I've attatched some pics. Let me know what you guys think.

Next I'll be getting a service manual.

I think Im gonna pull the motor and address the kicker, oil leaks, and rebuild the carb to start. I have no idea how this thing ran before it was parked so maybe I should take a look at the top-end while its out?

Also I noticed something near the rear sprocket looks like it was grinding? Thoughts on that?
