Newbie..need some help please
Hey guys, new here and new to the atc world and can use some help. I just bought a 1984 Honda 200s that was sitting in my friends garage for about 5 years. I am in need of part...lots of parts..lol. Anyone know where I can get some on the net? I need a gas tank, front brake assembly, I think rear brake assy..not sure yet on that. Any help woul dbe much appreciated!
Also, when the bike is up on blocks should the rear axle be solid or should there be some play in it? I can move the axle about 1/2" up and down? To me it seems like a blown bearing or something but you guys are teh experts.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the replies guys. Mike thanks for the links too! I took the rear axle out cause I didn't like the amount of play and found that it had no axle bearings left, they were a rusty powder. I already ordered them from ebay. I think I am gonna get teh recoil pull starter installed and see if the motor even turns over before I buy any more parts.
Thanks again for the welcome guys..this looks like a cool place.

Some hints for you, when you get the new rear axle bearings, pack them with grease, Even if they are the "sealed" type; use a small screwdriver, pop out the plactic seal, pack them and pop the seal back in. They do not come with very much grease in them and they will only last about a year without putting more grease in them. I went as far as to install a grease fitting in the axle housing, and I give it a little grease before I ride each time.

Thanks for the heads up on the axle bearings. I plan on packin them real good. Problem I am now having is that the old ones will NOT come out. I been banging em with my bearing drivers and they ain't budging. The bearing and oil seals were gone when I got the bike, only the outer race is left and teh friggen thing is so rusted in that it looks like part of the assembly. i may have to buy a new assy..if I can find a cheap one. Any suggestions on how to get the old bearings out?
Thanks,
Mike
