Topic: new family member - CB200

[CaféElite]

Just got this today. $250 got me 75 CB200 with title but poor compression. I really didnt need this but I didnt think it was a bad buy for the money. Looks like I might be hanging out on hondtwins a bit.

Those are great little bikes. There's a good chance that the compression will come up if you adjust the valve clearances. Have fun with it.

Those gas tanks seem to be popular with the cafe crowd.

Will any of you CB200 guys point me to where you are buying stock parts? Mainly things like sprockets, carb kits, coils and plug wires...etc etc..

Thanks..

For a coil on mine, I just bought "half" of a replacement set for a Honda Four - one coil with two plug wires.
Think it was off EBay, a straight-ahead bolt-up.
Sprockets I had to find as aftermarket, same with carb kits.
Mentioning carb kits, I usually don't even bother - quality control is in the toilet these days, you really can't depend on accurate jet sizes or anything. So I normally just clean up the original parts and reuse them whenever possible.

Common fault was same as 175 in that if thrashed from cold the rings would shatter. Was a very common bike in UK so try Dave Silver for bits
