After being without a bike for almost 15yrs I found a basket case..$50.00 and a get it out of here it sits in garage. after cleaning the carb it fired right up. and rewarded me with a oil leak at the base of the cylinder. is this a common thing with this engine? thanks Tim

Greetings all, thanks for the informative thread. Here's my 2010 XR200, these things are popular here in the Philippines because of their simplicity, reliability, and ruggedness. This is my first motorcycle and I love it!



I am in the process of shopping for a disc brake installation for the rear wheel, it's a very popular modification here. If you want to see some really nice 200's check out this website: http://www.motorcycl...searchid=208988

last year my race bike for harescrambles was having issues while at the race so I joking entered on my dads 02 XR 200 and holeshotted somehow, passed 32 people in less thsn 1/2 of the first out of 3 laps. Due to ground clearance/softness the shift lever snapped so i was hand shifting and not much into the second lap the rear brake lever boke so I called it quits. Great bike, #1 does not wear me out, 2 no choice but to roll out due to mine barely having brakes. Racing in 3 weeks and havent been on a bike since January. All of your info is will be very helpful and I might have some questions. thanks

I think it should be added that the california bike jetting is different. They run extremely Lean!!

pilot screw is set @ 1-7/8 turns out
slow jet: #35
main jet: #102

i was having alot of problems keeping the bike on without maxing out adjustments and choke up all the way at all times. It was only starting with throttle wide open. I rejet the bike to Main jet: 110, and slow jet: 38 and i set the pilot screw to 1-1/2 turns and it made a world of difference.
