I just noticed all the things wrong with my 200SX, theirs alot.

I will try to name all the things wrong with it, but are still holding the ATV together...

1) Rear wheel hubs are loose on axle.
2) 3 of the chain tightner bolts are all stripped but 2 are fixed now.
3) Front Sprocket is welded on countershaft because the clips that hold it on are broken, I havent been able to change the sprocket, and I got a new rear sprocket and new chain and it is wearing out.
4) Rear rack is loose because bolts always come loose or no room for new tapping or new bolts.
5) Engine leaks oil because it needs new top end gaskets.
6) Rear Brake never worked due to seized cables.
7) Front Brakes never worked well, I can't figure out why.
8)Glass piece for front headlight is smashed because I rolled it.
9) Tie rod ends are getting very loose and worn out.
10) Alot of new nuts and bolts because their stripped or just broken.

I can't believe it still runs, must be because it's a HONDA

Now I wonder, why didn't I replace things after they break??......I can't figure that out.

 

mine works fine
runs great too

 

well, anything could still run with the problems you described, it just wouldn't perform very well. It'll run as long as the engine is in fine working order. Just my 2¢ worth. BUt yea, it does sound in pretty bad shape.

 

Sounds like to me you got one bad 200sx. Now heres the problems on my 230.

Both sidecases are cracked and repaired.

i know there's more but i can't think of them
thats the reason i'm getting ready to buy a 300ex this weekend i hope

 

Bermbanger- Where do you get all your money to buy these things??, your around my age. Do you work??

Must be nice to have all that money, well I do have money but not allowed to touch it until college. Have fun buying a 300EX, will it be new or used??

 

I havn't bought anything. Thats the reason its a piece of ****. The ex is used. It has a jaws bumper, twist trottle, dg pipe, and k&n filter. I usually find a small job each summer. Last summer i made near 500 and i've still got that. After selling mine it won't take but just a few more hundred dollars. I should have some small job this summer too and plus the end of this month is my birthday, so maybe i'll have a little from it too. I'm getting ready to sell some rare gold mark martin cars (valvoline) on ebay and a lot of Earnhardt stuff.I think i can get $1500 out of my qs since it has a lot of new stuff. It has more new things than broken things.

 

here in Utah a 200sx gos for 1400.00 to 1600.00 pending on the condition. I sold my daughters 200 2 months ago for 1400.00. The plastic was broke,choke cable gone and tires shot. First person to look at it bought it. I paid 1500.00 in 1999 for another 86 200sx,mint condition, the undercarriage wasn't even scratched. My first one I originally paid 1800 otd in highschool. I thrashed it and it was stolen in 1990. Mabey for the motor since it still ran.

 

mine is in good running shape, but every plastic piece is busted, faded, cracked or gone. Wonder what mine is worth.
New tires
runs great
Netural light stuck on

 

Thats nothing! My 300ex is a 99 and it had more problems then that, I'm fixing everything on it right now though so it will run perfect.

 

Now I remembered all my plastic has crack marks in it and dirt is in the cracks(looks real ugly)

And my choke cable bolt broke in half, you know near the top where you pull it out.

I bought mine for $2300(Canadian) 4 years ago in good condition
