you can play with the throttle but make shore you have enough give in the cable......ie set it up.....adjust.....start the engine and turn the handle bars from lock to lock,....if the engine stays at an idle the adjustment is ok......

gears......nup.....i never broke any......though when i got it i had to replace a clutch in it.....the second one for the gear shift or something......basically she had no engine breaking on down hill runs

wasn't the 125 a different motor anyway?....not a slieved down 200

.....tires.....mine were hopeless in the mud.....hard compound....tight tread pattern.....but it taught you how to ride, how to read situations, pick your line....because its light and short, you could easily make the machine work in the mud buy shifting wieght...and picking up the front end for major bumps

all this talk is making me think about buying another 200sx.....i am still looking for a 250sx for my next project bike for summer.....3 wheelers are getting cheaper, and require a different type of riding to ride......i think it would be a good challenge for me....

Don't get a 3 wheeler...those things are dangerous, but their good in water...my friend has one(honda 200M) and he went in water and the front end floated...LOL

haha.....dangerous in the wrong hands

when i was home last i got the brakes going on a 200M which belong to our farm worker who rears calves on the side......his wife was using it on his 'lifestyle block' (28acres) which is not flat....turns out they had had to many water crossings, which locked them solid.....

anyway my old man is under strick orders to buy that bike if they decide to get rid of it, so i can restore it and throw it in the shed with a 200sx, which my grandmother doesn't ride much anymore....(i am hoping it stays in the family for a long time yet)

i want a 250sx because they were the last build prefer a '87 model....i know where the was one but it was sold without me knowing.....

3 wheelers are only dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced.......and the unsespecting

ride hard
