I have the same motorcicle from december 1994, use only some weekend for off road around rural street. Greetings from Argentina, excuse for my poor english :)

[@joshputt42]

They are great reliable bikes perfect for just about anything. Your English is good 👍

good motorcycle man ... I also have a 1993 ... greetings from Argentina

[@joshputt42]

Thanks man, my xr is out of action right now because the engine got cooked. The shop accidentally plugged up the oil feed holes with silicon so the top end seized with catastrophic top end damage... such a shame after spending so much time working on it

[@gabuuso]

@@joshputt42 😩😩😩nooo!! really a shame...my xr too ... the camshaft is broken...Excuse me for my english ... for some things I use google translator 😅

[@joshputt42]

Your English is good man. My camshaft is damaged too. Its seized and there is metal filings all through the engine. Luckily piston and cylinder are

[@joshputt42]

Undamaged...

[@gabuuso]

@@joshputt42 This is good news! I already bought it ... I still need to repair the piston cylinder and rings ... I can't get them here, maybe one that is not original ... the rest I bought almost everything, valves, valve seals, seals, gaskets, automatic advance , distribution chain and I need to see the gearbox ... it has problems with the 5th

I have this same bike how did you make the head light work ? And where did you get it ?

[@joshputt42]

Ummm we just re wired it and it worked great. Check the bulb and replace it

[@wendellcrossley]

@@joshputt42 Mine did not come with a head light or a battery

[@joshputt42]

Oh okay, the light runs off engine power so it will not work when the bike is turned off. XR’s 200’s do not have batteries. Have a look on eBay they might have some

[@wendellcrossley]

@@joshputt42 thank you

[@chrisfederoff1047]

Where’s you get the headlight assembly. Just picked up a 1993 and I thought they didn’t come with lights after 1990.

[@joshputt42]

As far as I’m concerned it has been on the bike all its life
