Was it not 1986 that we went from 3 to 4 wheel profiles on quads. Also this is all I know 1986? red plastic 200-250 cc four stroke, rear racks, auto clutch, electric start, has pull rope in case of battery faliure. What would be you guess this is? Its not mine Im just trying to get some info for a friend.

 

sounds to me like it is a 200sx, does it have chain drive?

if not it might just be a trx200 utility

but if its only got rear racks thewn id say 200sx


btw in 1985 honda got a 4 wheeler
the 200sx was 1986-1988

 

i used to have a 1984 trx200 utility quad, front and rear racks, electric start, pull start back up, four stroke, auto clutch, red plastics, and i believe they also made a 250 version of this quad, as a matter of fact i still have my old 200 and it is a major beast, tops out around 40 mph tho
lol hope ya have as much fun with your beast as i did mine

 

If it has a recoil starter as a backup, the only quads left in that era is the TRX125 and TRX200[84] and TRX200SX[86-88].

All of the 250s had a kick starter as a back up regardless of model.

The 1984 TRX200 is shaft drive and has a Hi/Lo range selector on the left side of the engine.

The 1986-1988 TRX200SX is chain drive and does not have Hi/Lo range

Another giveaway, is that the 1984 had the troublesome single trailing arm front suspension while the 1986-1988 SX models had a single true A-frame.

 

I thought everything pre 86 was three wheeled. My friend said he thought it was an 84. So thats probably true. I will check on the shaft drive and hi/lo selector. Thanks for the info and Happy Quading.
