i just bought a new piston and topend gasket kit for my 84trx200 should i install them myself i have the repair manual but i have never worked on my atv just change the oil and clean the airfilter although i have taken apart and reassembld an old gocart engine. What do u guys think should i take it to my local honda delearship they said it would take a while to do or should i save some time and do it myself?

 

with a book u could do it but u need to take your time.if u get in a hurry u can screw things up real bad.there's no better time to learn than the present

 

do u think i could install the piston rings without the piston ring installer tool?

 

Yes you can.

 

i am also oredering a 200x crab rebuid kit for it do u think i should install it to or have a pro do it?

 

You shouldnt have any trouble rebuilding your carb, and it should come with instructions.

 

ive seen people use a hose clamp on the rings dont know how good it is for it but it works
