Resurrecting a Vintage Honda Twin (1975 Honda CB200T)
Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by for another video! In this video my friend Matt and I tackle trying to get his 1975 Honda CB200T up and running. This vintage Honda twin ran great until a small accident that left it running on its side for a bit. Matt and I look at all possible mechanical and electrical issues that could have happened due to the accident. We go over the carburetors, ignition, and wiring in order to determine the cause of the problem. Overall the evening was a success and we managed to get the bike up and running again! It needs a bit more work but our goal was to start it and hear it run and that is exactly what happened!

Let me know what you guys think of the background music and if I should keep using it or if you prefer silence (aside from my incoherent rambling of course, who doesn't love THAT?!)
Also make sure to give the video a THUMBS UP if you enjoyed it as it really DOES help the channel! Thanks for watching!
T stood for "Taillight", it had a position on the ignition that allowed for the "parking lamp" to stay on. The "CB200" of 1974 did not have this switch position.
This was literally my first motorcycle, back in 1985. Thanks for the memories!
I got a beater one last year. Just bought a titled frame for it today. Now to do a frame swap and begin the restoration process. Thanks for a great video. Yours is a really nice example!
Great video! Bad ass vintage bike, that thing screams style. Best of luck to you guys, ride safe!
Sorry Kosmo
Your videos are great
I always enjoy them👍
I appreciate you watching!!
Very cool. I had CB360T. That 200T is looking good!
Nice! I know someone local with a 360 four. The 200T is indeed a pretty good example!! Super low miles, just needs some love.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to buy a gold one in a few days.
Dope! Good luck and have fun with it!
BRO! dont leave me hanging man!!!
i just bought a 200t so im following along. keep gooooooing!
Ah dang dude! Am sorry haha. It's not even my bike, my buddy brought it over to get it going again and I think he might be getting rid of it because he wants an enduro/dual sport :( Does yours run and ride?
@@kosmoto it starts but dies at idle after about 30 seconds. you can kick it and E start it and its cleaning up nice! I was really hoping to watch you progress on it! i was all in for like a 10 part series lol. sall good man ! I even got the same color and everything.
@@scottregan1667 haha dang, my bad man! Bike actually didn't need too much. It's practically brand new, just some surface rust from sitting around but otherwise it was cherry. If it were mine I'd definitely be doing more videos on it :)
It sounds like you might need to clean the carbs out. Your electrical sounds to be fine but fuel might be the issue. Carb rebuild kits are suuper cheap for these ones.
@@kosmoto no prob man! thanks for making this one! just ordered a carb kit for 25 bucks and im hoping the float is the problem.
Here watching now!!! 🤘
haha watup!
Awesome video I’m buying a 1980 Honda cb200 as my first motorcycle if you have any first time motorcycle riding tips that would be cool!
My grandfather and I found an old 200 in his late brothers stuff. We've got just about everything restored - or the means to have everything restored - but we cannot find a seat for the life of us. Seat covers, yes, but we cant even find just a pan. Any suggestions for places to look? We've tried scrap yards, face book, honda dealers, eBay. No dice thus far.
Can't here you with that on
Great video
that bad eh? Guess I know for the future. Thanks! :)
T just stands for twin. In the UK we had a CB200 closely followed by the CB200B, the CB200 had a TLS front brake, the CB200B that horrible cable disc.
Wow man you guys are good at mechanical work for being so young. I'm 20 and envy you lmao, trying to get better. I've got a Shadow 750 and am learning to work on it in many different ways on my own (luckily its mint so not much work lol).
Appreciate it man! Just keep at it, the more ya get your hands dirty the more experience you'll get for future projects. Don't be afraid to mess stuff up too, sometimes it's just part of the process. Shadow 750 is a neat one, I love the V-twins! Can't imagine pulling an engine like that though haha.
I don't think that you should be brazing or soldering on something that has gas in it,,,,,lmao...KaBoom....lol
Great video guys - I used to have a 1974 CB 200 T.....back when I was young - somewhere around 1978 - 79....down in Florida - where you could get your motorcycle permit at 14 yrs old - It was a great bike and thanks for bringing back good memories guys

How's the Dt 's doing
Any new videos coming up
Cool bike. I know next to nothing about bikes. But I like them.
thanks dude! My buddy's definitely got a gem as far as smaller displacement bikes go. You've got a sweet MR2! Should definitely do more scooter content as well, I'd certainly watch haha. I've got a couple of videos coming up on resurrecting my moped as well.
Kosmoto I do have a few more scooter videos on the way. Ordered some parts for the carb.
@@therealboofighter excellent! looking forward to it!
Kosmoto it will be a learning adventure, I have never played with a carb before.
Looking to potentially get one of these, 2 previous owners, 14k miles. Any tips before I buy? Is it saddlebag capable?
My brother had one identical back in 1978.
Wicked! Neat bikes :)
Good bikes had a cb200 did lots of miles more than it should be possible they do wear out unfortunately had the main bearings on the crank disintegrate the oil pump plunger on back of clutch got really rattled.So replaced main bearings oil pump plunger clutch plates seals and back to brand new.
Rebuild kit for the carb is like 25 bucks.
he already bought a new float and it runs mint!!! 25$ is what he told me the rebuild kits cost him as well, I was surprised!
@@kosmoto You should make another video on it! I'm looking to buy literally this same model bike. The guys wants $300. Runs, title, just needs some love.
@@theguitarhero898 do it homie. i just picked up mine for 500 :)
Not any more
All junk out there
throw the float in boiling water! Than you see the bubbles when air extends.... than solder...
