I just want to see what kind of mods you have done to your 200SX and...what kind of tires have you put on it?? (or did put on it if you did had one).

Mine- Scorpion tires (I want to get Bearclaws though). I have tow hooks on it. A tow rope tied around my front rack because I get stuck alot (I hate my tires in mud). Trailer hitch. O-ring chain and Slack taken out of throttle.

Lets hear what you have done to yours and tell me what tires work best in the mud for the 200SX, I think i'm getting Bearclaws anyways[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Mines got a wiseco high compression piston bored (.20) over. Dude i don't care what anybody says but all these so called mud tires aren't worth chit unless you got the ponies to pull them and plenty of ground clearance. I've got a tire on my ex thats similar to the maxxis all track and takes me thru all the mud I need to go thru and my ex is lower to the ground your sx. I would get a tire like that if I was you that way i could still have a good ride on trails and slide on corners.

i used to have chen-shin tractor grip type tires

they wore real well.....didn't do to bad in the soft stuff....were no mud tire tho

trick to riding the sx in the mud is not traction its speed and knowing ya bike, reading the trails

my tires weren't great in the mud, but that never stoped me from getting to where i wanted to go

ya after a good GP tire.......try the maxxis all trak......i have on my 250x.......been great tires to me

only 2 ply too....lighter

The Bearclaws are only 2 ply as well, I don't think I would have too much trouble pulling them, I know they would make me slower and maybe rob power but hey I can always buy a K&N or get a Cobra pipe[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I just took the air filter cover off, ohh man what a difference, you can tell you have more power, and it was super laud too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img], I only had it off on the road, I didn't want to get too much dust in the box.

I keep the tires pumped up for going in mud, it needs that little extra clearance.

discharge- Where are you starting the snorkel from...the airbox or just extending the start of the intake up a bit at the front?? Tell me more on what you are doing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I just went out to a store, and I found these deer whistles that warn them. I bought a pack of 2, but they will only work at 40mph or faster. I thought they would be good because I have alot of Deer around me when I ride and it's scary when they com running out infront of you.

So I have another thing to add to my signature[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
