what was the last production yr of xr200? And rough price of machince + insurance?

Early years of 2000. Bike price should be around $2k - $2.5k. Insurance should be less than $850.

Is the parts still available? Thinking of buying 1..

Since if you guys using the electric start ones. There are other parts such as Honda CB400 (Super Four) parts which also can be used too. Or can go the Honda agents such as Boon Siew or AS Phoon. Honda parts are easy to find. Not to worry much. The hard to find ones are Aprilia parts.

was wondering... can the rear spork be changed from 42 to 45??? chiong aik told me no but ive heard of ppl using... so juz wanna hear yur opinions

45T Sprocket? Depends on your front sprocket. What size are you using for the front sprocket? Can use bigger size for the rear sprocket. But if it's not proportionate to your front size sprocket, it might stress your engine. That's why Choing Aik doesn't recommend you to do so.

if i want rear 45T then front shd be ??? would my bike be stressin at 90-100km/h after changing ?

It will get stressed when you whack your acceleration during the 1st 3 gears if it's not proportionate to the front sporcket size. If you want to run on a 45T sprocket, I suggest your front sprocket should be around 13T if you want a decent power of acceleration.

come to ride ah guang this Sunday 19 July , there will be 2 units XR2 running the same 48 rear sprocket setup .Don't hear say, hear say ,ppl say you believe come see how a gal ride the bike ,u will stunned!!!

Anyway the Xr2 should not be traveling at speed excess of 100KM/H .the bike's not made for high speed riding.

so for this 48 rear, what do you have for the front sprox?

i'm using 13 front and 45 rear,so far so good.For expressway,quite ok.FC not bad.270km then reserve.But if you gonna use for trail,my suggestion,check with the experience ones.

For trail. I suggest you lower down your tyre pressure for better gripping and traction at dirt. Gear ratio is not really the main thing which need to be considered. It's more to the tyre pressure.

Too much pressure for the tyres will lead to lesser grip at dirt. As if you are running on road tyres riding on dirt

If really want a little more power, i suggest you change to KeiHin Carburetor.

err..tot its already keihin carb? Trail etiqs: tyre pressure are essential.But, in my opinion, gear too plays its part. (Esp through hill climbs. Need the torque). Personal opinion ya.

Btw, just a little google on sprox ratio. Hope it helps. www.motorcycleanchor.c...tmath.html
