I hope you guys enjoyed the video! New dirt bike project coming soon! Sneak peek on my Instagram: 2_vintage_ Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed, it really helps me out a lot! Thank you for all the support!
It’s all about top dead center when trying to kicks these machines over lol . Hopefully you restore and keep this classic the values are climbing on these so you never know
Hi guys been following your for few yrs love this vids when will you and you brother be going to a motocross track loved the last one I saw of you love this quad
33:25. That’s how you do it man, just when you get to that position tap that brake a little it will bring you back down a bit and you give it gas again and repeat the process, do not be discouraged or scared from falling. See? Nothing happened. Keep going bro and keep practicing the same stuff just like that until you get that back brake down.
That's true for every honda 4 stroke. I've seen people run em on kerosene, diesel, and mixed fuel. They just dont quit. My old xr250 needs a rebuild soon she smokes like an old lady on oxygen but still starts second kick every time.
I still Own a few Honda 200s and a 200 I just got rid of my 350 Thumper needed to much work and i didn't have enough time shouldn't have got rid of it but whatever Next is going to be a zilla
I bought one of these brand new in 84 and loved it. Very powerful, top speed if I remember right was just under 65 mph. Years later I sold it to a friend and he used it for another 20 years. He liked it so much after buying mine that he ended up buying two more used ones and made another complete bike for his wife to ride. Honda makes great products. This really brought back memories.
Low speed wheelies on the grass is the best place to push the balance point, fallling on your back really isnt that bad and for me it was the best way to gain confidence to keep pushing the front end up and get a sense for how responsive the back brake is. Loved seeing this thing come back to life
My lil cousin and I were out riding our 185 3wheelers around camp when were were really young (early 80’s). She went around a slight corner at around 20mph, tipped to the side and it rolled forward on top of her. Broke her neck and killed her right there. Fortunately I was ahead of her and didn’t see her. My point, be friggin careful bud, these things faded out in the 80’s for a reason.
@@smashin_pikebc744 thank you! Anytime I see someone on a trike I tend to tell that story. Not for any type of compassion, only to warn of real dangers. I appreciate the condolences though, ty.
Nice to watch you revive these forgotten joy rides. When I was a teenager a guy down the street had a 350X. I rode it and it was scary. My ride was a Suzuki RM250 but this big bore 4 stroke surprised me.
Bro I'm loving all this great wheelie practice, I literally see you trying to master it and you're doing great! Glad you didn't get hurt falling off, done it many times, and a few definitely hurt but in the end it all adds to the fun. I crack up when you "whoo" in a wheelie cause it takes me back... don't have a wheeler anymore. I'm sure if I got back on I'd eat crap alot and there would be alot of whoo"s lol. Til then I get to live vicariously through you haha
Had an 84 200x in the 90s when I was in my early 20s. Those are great bikes almost bulletproof. My buddy had one quit running during a ride because it was low on oil. We all thought the motor was toast but when we got it back home we put oil in it and it fired right up no problems.
Dude I was so stoked for you I just love those bike I still have all these bikes I grew up with 250r ,(2) 200xs,200s and 185s, a 110 I'm a dedicated three wheeler fan
Seems to run well and have good compression. I'm also thinking the smoke is from the oil or WD-40 that went into the cylinder. Or possibly something else but either way I don't think it's the rings. Good job! You've been scoring some nice ATVs lately.
Cool trike joe ! Loved the wheelie in the grass so glad you left that in there I’ve done that so many times an your reaction was about same as mine lol
We had a new 200X in 1983. Fun ATC. Cons were hard to start ( that kick starter would slip and nail your shin ) and if it saw water 💦 it would stall 😆.
Awesome three-wheeler Joe man you got a deal what can you say though it's a Honda a little bit of of tinkering and they all want to run keep up the good work bro peace.
I had a 87 200x that I played around on for yrs it was a great machine!!! even with the same cobra pipe on it. They are fun little trikes. Wish I could find one now days. Now I have a little yamaha 200e three wheeler I picked up for my kids and I to play on.But this one has electric start/ reverse plus it is shaft driven witch I like. Not messing around with a chain all the time. Great vid 👍 have fun on the trike!!!
@@2vintage lol youve arrived my man. Been watching you for years an your determination to dive into something unknown an have good outcomes is awesome to watch. Not to mention you buy all the toys everyone desires.
Buy an o-ring or x-ring chain so it doesn't stretch out so fast. I modified a pair of vice grips by grinding them to be narrow enough to fit between the links so I could easily press or squeeze on the master link plate. I know Motion Pro makes master link pliers for the clip but I had a cheap pair of needle nose pliers where one of the tips broke off and it worked perfect for that.
Your oil is over full. You have to screw the dip stick all the way in then unscrew it to check the level of the oil. Those little engine don’t like to run for very long over full. Awesome video and great job
Putting a new chain on sprockets that have deformed along with the old chain will put extra stresses on the new chain. The new chain will wear out quicker.
Those are bad about the valve stem seals if they sit for a very long time those seals get dry and split apart ive had 2 honda 200s that had that problem
Looks like you need a wheelie bar on the back. I remember the Big Red Honda's in he 70's when they came out. So many people were injured or killed on them as they were not stable enough. I think most were from turning too quickly at speed and flipping it over.
Tempiramental unit that Honda built. Worked at a dealership for many, many yrs. 200x was also easy starting, get run temp quick, really good Honda. Just had to change jetting, adjust fuel/air spec's then bust it's ass fun riding. The beginning of Honda and someone's brite idea. Who else seen what Honda and climate control green tree hugging science prof was doing with horsepower and the running of their engines.
I know they say you should always change your chain and sprockets together but since my chains lasted so long, I'd usually change my front sprocket once or twice before having to replace the chain and rear sprocket.
Awesome! Keep up the good work, great videos! Glad to see another ATC featured on your channel! I have some spare 1st gen 200x parts laying around if you need anything. I have an 85 rolling chassis I want to do a CR125 engine swap to, also a complete 84 Im working on restoring for my dad. I have a second gen 1986 ATC200X I completely went through and restored, built it for myself to ride a few months ago. I have quite a few trike videos uploaded on my channel if you’d like to check them out @ ATC REVOLUTION
I’m a big time. Bike guy. Two wheels. Three wheels. And four wheels doesn’t matter. Enjoy all ur videos. Just send me a link where u sale them plez? Thks bro
You should have hit the rear brake and it would have came back down. Your wheelies are just going to get better and better. Nice vid glad you were able to get it running.👌
You need new clutch plates. Your clutch is slipping some. Also a front fender brace will get the fender in the correct position. The front fender will be hitting the tire over rough terrain
@@2vintage love the way you are growing keep up the great work PR here in the island we have lots of laws that does not let us ride on the streets but we do it any way lots of police chases but we have fun. Stay strong and safe.
Big fan of the atcs . 200x may not be a power house but they sure are fun to rip around . Sounds like u have an intake leak or something going on with urs and may have to go through carb again real good but shes got good bones. Ought to see what a new top end would do for the ole girl.
