I've been looking for a cylinder for a guy who has a 1983' Honda ATC200X 3-wheeler and there are not many dirt/atv salvage places around as far as i know..

I have somebody here local that sleeved a cylinder for me on a 2006 Honda Foreman. It's been running perfectly for three years and the cylinder is all the way back to a standard bore size. Not sure if your bike has a sleeve but it's worth a look.

Rick,
I'm not sure what this guy or PO did to this 3-wheeler but the outer cylinder aluminum is cracked vertically and I haven't even removed it yet to see what they tried to do.. I know it has a sleeve from the factory.
I want to find another complete cylinder for it and if that one needs a sleeve I want to get it to someone who can properly sleeve it to hold-up for years.
I look on Feebay and they want upwards of $200 for a used one.. The 83-85' ATC200x has wider fins on it compared to the 185 or 200s 3-wheelers of the 80's and the guy wants to get another one just like his original.
Do you know anyone who has one ?

I will ask around on the Honda ATV Forum and see if anybody has one. Parts for three wheelers are getting tough to find.

There are now a few on Ebay well less than 200 bucks. Will any of these work for you?

Rick,
I've been looking through ebay too but the last ones I noticed were plenty of $.I'm hoping to find one that needs boring for less than $100.
The 1986' model ATC200X won't fit as it's similar to the TRX in design w/ a hole for the cam chain tensioner on the side of the cylinder block;the 83-85' are very similar to the XR200R 2-wheeler but w/ wider fins,they're 1st generation 200x.
Thanks for your help Rick.

b52bombardier1 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 25, 2016, 06:52:26 PM »

Let's see if these will work for you. Hard to tell if the price is $75 or $125 but you can ask.

Rick,
I just noticed this post of yours w/ the link,I'd like to get in touch with him and get a few pics. I sent an email to you.
I noticed the member 'Smithy' is brand new on that forum you're a member of,need some advice.. I did leave a message on his ph. this morn.

b52bombardier1 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 26, 2016, 05:58:13 AM »

I have no experience with that guy and did not notice that he only has four posts on the Honda ATV Forum. I think I'd approach this transaction with caution. Maybe try doing it with Paypal for some buyer protection. Ask him to post it as a Buy It Now on Ebay for even more protection though this may increase the price he needs.

I think it would be nice if he posted the pics in the thread on hondaatvforums.net you started for me and if you'd let me know when he does;when he finally gets back to me I'll suggest that to him;is that ok ? thanks

b52bombardier1 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 26, 2016, 07:39:44 AM »

I will ask for pictures and see what he says.

I was finally in touch by telephone w/ that new member 'smithy' on the forum you posted the thread for me and we spoke,I'm still hoping he'll post pics on the forum w/ you Rick

grcamna2 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2016, 08:07:17 AM »

b52bombardier1/Rick,
I haven't heard from that man 'smithy' either by tel. or email as he posted both of his contacts on the hondaatv forum.I appreciate that you started the thread for me on there and also replied to him as far as what he would be willing to do to sell the cyl. w/ pics.. maybe he didn't have one..

b52bombardier1 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2016, 08:32:22 AM »

As we suspected, caution should rule here. My guess is that he ran away quickly when we asked for pictures, Ebay Buy It Now and PayPal Buyer Protection. Scammers are everywhere.

Rick,
I noticed you have a few Honda CT90's

When i was a kid my dad had a 1971 Red CT90 w/ the vertical slots in the exh. heat shields.I had a neighbor down the street w/ a new 1972 CT70H and we would race down the road(heads down) side by side and the 90 would walk right past him.Then his dad traded the CT70 for a CL100 and he loved that and it turned where he would walk right past me at over 60 mph.I spent many years riding that CT90 on and off road(w/o a license

when i was in my early teens) and only used the low range 2 or 3 times,just too low.I rebuilt it for my dad when I was 16 and he kept it for many more yrs. until my 3) little brothers got a hold of 'the girls bike' and they killed it sorry to say.
I now enjoy riding my little 81' CB125S w/ the 185 engine,it reminds me when I was a kid and still dreaming of fun places to go.

I remember those trike ATVs. Deathtraps!

They didn't corner very well but had those ginormous balloon tires.

yeah,
I've seen a guy doing a jump off the top of a hill and the front end of the trike got turned sideways on take-off and landed on top of him;take-off's have to be planned ahead.. I don't have the experience on a trike I would need to really fly like some of them who know their trike and the intended terrain.

b52bombardier1 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2016, 03:23:32 PM »

But that CT90 in low range will almost climb the garage door. I've been on a CT110 in low range on the side of a steep California mountain . . . climbing . . . at maybe 2 MPH and 6000 RPM. I was impressed. I also have a 72 CL100 that I like. But I like just about any old Honda. Just wish I would have kept my blue 71 Z50A from back then. So much fun . . .

Rick

grcamna2 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2016, 04:43:32 PM »

I had a blue and white Z50(k0?)in the early 70's that I bought used for $40 from the Honda dealer back then,wish i still had that,it needed work,mainly missing parts.I rode that little bike all over the town i lived(no license either..) even at night w/ that tiny little headlight

Great on gas and Very tough,couldn't kill it.

They don't jump very well at all. Very poor stability in landings -- no comparison to modern 4 wheelers.

I had a 125 carcass that I traded to a guy for a big industrial box fan.

I saw another by a neighbor of a friend that looked like a 185 complete in better shape and saw it on his burn pile. I figured the logs had been there for years so it wasn't a hurry to go ask about it.

I was wrong.

grcamna2 · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2016, 10:39:10 PM »

ok,
I did just find one of these cylinders.I looked on Ebay and there was a good,used 1984' ATC200X cylinder/piston that just went up for sale,a new listing.I made a 'Best Offer' on it and he accepted so that's that.

Thanks for helping Rick

No worries, I knew it would eventually show up. Let a good machinist take a look at it and tell us what he thinks.

I appreciate your supportive help Rick and your time for putting the request online on that other ATV forum that you're a member of,Thanks again.I will get back w/ info on it once i receive it from Ebay seller 'Straight Up Cycles' in Utah.
He said he measured it and it was within spec.. I'll find out.He let me have it for $65(orig.$89) + $10 shipping so I was pleased about that.
