i jsut bought an 86 honda 200s for $250. was that a reasonable price? i'm thinking that i got a deal because its clean. everything works, looks new other thatn broken back fender. is there anything i should check out? how much oil does it take for a change? what oil? any info would be nice. thanks.

 

YES! You got a good deal!
Check the rear bearings(shakedown) front bearings, Petcock filter in the tank, chain tention, tire pressure, and a basic tune-up
1.42 Qts of 10W-40
plug gap .0024-.028
valve clearence is .002
have fun!

 

Sounds like a sweet deal if everything works....!

 

ya i think the wife was getting rid of her husbands toys and she didn't know how much it was really worth. i dont even know if her husband was there. does anyone know where to pick up a new rear fender for it and the tool box lid? it needs a new seat cover too. anyone know if any companies even make them anymore. will the plastics off an older 185 or 200 fit it? is it normal for the kill switch to only work about half the time? it wheelies better than anything i've ever ridden. after riding a wheelie for about 50 yards it burns the gas out of the carb and tips down.
