    It turned out really awesome. It's a genuine reliable rider that's not so nice you don't want to take it out and get it dirty.

    Leave the 18s on and regear for them. Thats the way to go man! Those turf tires make for good slides and thats what makes good lap times. Now have a beer and jam some Tesla! 🤟🤟

    Congrats, when I saw the pic last night I knew they were 18's. Got all of my 4 wheelers running great, 2 out of 6 three wheelers have been thru the shop and I'll be bringing them all in before the ground dries up. Right now the shop is building a "Hybrid", which is an aftermarket trx250r frame, a Yamaha 426 dirt bike engine, and a list of parts a mile long. I haven't seen this kind of excitement out of these guys in a while, it should be a screamer. The last time it raced the photo hangs in the office of the boss hitting a jump and getting at least 10 feet of air before heading back to earth. Another thing I'll enjoy from a distance! Enjoy yourself, my day had me riding 6 different machines around the property plus a trip down to the ranch and I got to see sunshine!

    Hopefully you are on the mend and will be able to continue with whatever life has in store for you. Two reasons I strayed away from kick start machines, size 15eeee boots and the jarring motion of the kick. I'm down to 1 pull start only, machine, and without constant adjustments, I wind up riding something else. One of my nephews came up from Atlanta and we rode 6 different machines until the rain and mud got to be a pain in the ass. Last time we rode 5 and next time we'll shoot for 7. Not bad for a kid that never rode before his last visit. Well, I'm back at the ranch all week and that keeps me pretty busy, so I'll be moving along and continue to wish you the best. Over and out.

    Nice build, I wish that here in Canada, bikes were more affordable like they are in the US, here you’d pay 5 k and it wouldn’t be a very nice machine, liquid 250r’s start at like 8 k in rough shape

    It looks like you may underestimate your trike!, it is fast now , and if i understand correctly,you are going to a taller tire as in stock 83/84, bet you would hit 70ish!. The trike turnedout beautiful, it is so nice to see a clapped out old dog, turned back into the rocket it once was, wish i could do that to me lol, keep turning out the awesome vibeos n i'll keep watching as long as i can, BE SAFE!

    Hey buddy, you flashed my 82 R ($3900) my trike has been front to back mechanical only restored with everything replaced, rebuilt or serviced including a fresh top end. Remember to include information when it regards period add ons. Worx, Westcoast, Durablue etc and their costs which are included on my trike that can add $ to the costs . Good video !

    What size tire do you plan on running? Mine has 22s and don't seam to pipe out like it should so I'm thinking 20s would bring my revs up and make it easier for the motor to turn a smaller tire. The 22 are pretty aggressive too so want something I can drift a tad and not worry about hooking to hard in a turn

    • @mrcbuilds
      @mrcbuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like 20s tall enough to get a little roll, short enought to slide. They stay square when mounted. Plus they lower the machine alittle from 22s.

      Hi Aaron, parts can be hard, i dont know the rules on shipping to canada from the US but i know there is 2 active atc groups in Canada, id suggest join them if you havent and network through them for parts and machines. Thanks for watching and yes the 2nd gen 250r is faster and lighter than your 200x but its the same size.

    Great job with the trike. Love the vids, very educational for us people trying to fix our three wheelers. Was just riding my 82 250r today, had a little too much fun and it leaned out and blew up in the top end. Do you have any particular site that you source your parts from? I'm looking to order all the parts necessary to rebuild it. It has a 330 big bore kit the previous owner had installed.

      @@mrcbuilds Thank you, I appreciate the quick response. I took the head off today and figured out it has a 71mm wiseco piston(#431M07100), the walls seem okay and didn't really get scored I just melted the piston. Should be able to clean it up and get it back running soon.

    • @mrcbuilds
      @mrcbuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@NogaroChase melting the piston generally mean you were running very lean, I would do a leak down test and if that passes check for a leak in your intake, spry it with some carb cleaner while running, if the rpm increase you have a ait leak, if all that checks out, than you need to increase your jet size, read your plug and adjust.
