Hey man looking at your channel your view count to sub ratio is great compared to people with a 500k or a million, also notice a huge decline in jerky comments keep up the work. I was watching Michael Sabo but I really didn’t like how he threw shade at you sometimes since you literally mind your own business. Big respect to you man you are getting better and better and no disrespect to Sabo but I wish people would focus only on their channel like you do.

[@DtownChillin]

@@maxkhunsunon4140 what type of plastic is it? Acetone can damage some plastics and flexi/fiber glass if I remember correctly

[@lanceakerman7473]

It’s definitely a Honda but it’s not a big red the racks are not right

[@kevgareau266]

its not a big red its a 200s no high and low gear thats how you know

[@actual_brog]

Buy some Maxima SC1 silicone detailer for the plastics, it'll make them look way better.

[@joemalcom7029]

I’ve had several 185s and 200s. Very reliable and easy to work on. You might want to adjust your cam chain....sound a bit sloppy. Clutch adjustment too. Very easy. 👍👍👍

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

You're right they were 200cc for a few years then 250. I had a 200m, 200sx, my personal fave as a youngster atc 90, had it til I was 35, taught my kids to ride on it. Still ran like a champ right up til it was stolen out of our camp one summer. I've always had quads and bikes and I work out of my own shop on my property, figured I went to MMI before I retired from the Air Force I might as well do something I love to do in retirement. Fun watching your channel, you get a lot of the same ones I have and had in the past. Just had basket case KDX 200 come in and its hammered bad so it's keeping me busy, just finished my son's Raptor 660R, its got the 686 stroker kit and stage 3 cam kit. To fast for me but fun as hell to drive. Keep up the good work, if you ever decide to do MMI you'll be way ahead from day 1...

[@donnaluke4103]

Looks like you didnt watch the videos on refinishing plastics. Wet sand with very fine grit and buff with compounds. Makes it high gloss and smooth again.

@@PRAISETHESAVIOR Few years ago I dug up a Honda power-washer that had been completely buried in the mud from a major flood. Was buried for years. Every part of the motor was completely packed full of solid silty dirt. Partially disassembled it, washed the dirt out, reassembled. Started on the second pull. Honda engines are near indestructible.

I've got the 82 atc200. On left side case at bottom you have cam chain adj screw. Loosen top nut start bike put piece wire in top of hole jiggle round so automatic tensioner tightens chain

[@malikenessavas8407]

You can use heat gun for the plastics , no need paint just high grit sanding and heat them up. Looks like a new and shinny

[@peterstacey3720]

What i used to do in the 70s on my honda trike to steer was lean as far out on the rear wheel as i could in the direction i want to turn. Lean far left for left turn. Same for right turns. It keeps those rears planted .

[@powerpit48]

I really enjoy watching you transform something that most people would pass on. I don’t have the patience to clean off the layers of paint.

[@mcdlb181]

I had one in the 80s , you just can’t kill it , I can’t count how many times that thing was upside down floating down a stream while I’m trying to save the beer floating down the stream, good times, the rack on the back fits a Coleman 80qt. Ice chest perfectly

[@ttatvoffroad2632]

That three wheeler looking mighty fine.

Great find..I was 14 when I rode my 1st big red.I used my front rack for weight on tire .B safe.peace

DUDE, THAT THING TURNED OUT EPIC :D

Hopefully you reach 175k subs :)

[@gratefuldabs9775]

Usually I run 3.6 psi in the tires. I believe that is the recommended tire pressure for an atc. Looks nice man. Great work as usual

[@chathamguy1able]

you can buff the plastics or do the torch trick they were great 3 wheelers i had a few of them back in the day very fun and workhorses keep up the good work

[@jaredpratt9733]

Heck yeah dude thanks for doing the three wheeler.

[@Mr.M1STER]

You got that thing for an absolute steal. It runs fantastic too.

[@shartne]

A buffer wheel and some polish will bring back those fenders to shine like brand new. It looks like a fun trike. That dog is cute he loves to run and play with the three wheeler.

Grew up riding 3 wheelers ..great job man..brings back memories

Looks good dude! Nice land were your at you can't beat an old Honda 200 big red pretty much bullet proof they'll never leave you stranded.

These three wheelers are the best for the snow in Wisconsin for real!!!

[@brycehickman6841]

Great work by the way enjoying the channel and love the longer videos!

[@M.TTT.]

Maybe some leather/pleather conditioner for the seat, the plastics I'd assume need a bit of high grit sanding and polishing time to be perfect, would be interesting to see.

[@MxRyder19]

Wow ! 250$ for a running honda 3 wheeler .... thats a steal ! sounds delicious !!

hard work pays off. you're good at it 🤛🏻

[@toddoconnor840]

Just found your videos, love them , love the old ATCs

[@Rallysport31]

im wondering if using a pressure washer woulda been more effective then using a sos pad to get the paint remover off, as ur scratching it more with the sos pad? i repainted my machine last year as well, someone painted it green and i was able to get it back to the oem red color. took about a week of work including drying period but it came out awesome. keep up the good vids man!

[@m8fusion712]

Looks so much nicer then before awesome video man

[@davesplace1307]

The big red came out in a 200cc and a 250cc. What makes them the big red is the high and low range gears on the side. Without th high and low range gears it's just a honda atc 200

[@danieldeshotel5230]

Also big reds had shaft drive vs chain.

[@davidklimmek3192]

Keep at it. Keep building ur collection! U got this👍

[@BOXING-q2u]

Turned out pretty good them plastics, good price $250. Your dog is crazy 🐶 😁👍

[@michaeltrower6792]

Looks like it turned out awesome much better without the green paint stop calling it a big red it's a 200s sounds like the cam chain tensioner needs tightening

Great video man I had a few of the big reds growing up they are a blast great buy for sure

[@ATC_RIDER_91]

Not hating at all.cause the video is cool and I love 3 wheelers and have some but how come you havent corrected the title since it's not a big red lol

[@outoftheshed2112]

Since the cable for the compression release is not hooked up to the pull start you should find an old compression release set up on ebay, say from an old TT500 4 stroke or similar. You will be able to start on first pull and less chance of injury. Mounts on the handle bars.

[@Tailgatesntoolboxes]

I believe those racks are from jc Whitney back in the day n dennis kirk use to sell a universal honda front headlight it was like $20 back in the day

[@jmendo2546]

Chuck knows how to ride the Honda 200s YEE Haw 12:41 the atcs with down shift pattern are wheely machines because u can shift easier. The paint thats cheap and thick for a close Honda red is Rustoleum *Sunrise Red Imagine that Japan. Put a tube in tire way cheaper and you can buy honda pullstart handles last time I looked it up. If you parted it out which I dont recommend but Clarke Gastank new is $250 used $150 rear plastic $150 seat $150 Pullstart $150 with stock honda handle DG exhaust $100 Front forks $150 front fender $75 front rack $50 rear rack $100 Wheels $100-150 Good running engine $250-300. If you buy a Headlight or get one from a Viewer its a 1984-85 Honda 200S Headlight because the way it mounts. You put a Headlight and tube and pullstart handle on it you probably can get $800 for it

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Was thinking big reds were 250's. Came out great enjoy, still love the old ATCs.

[@patinabunker5340]

The original big reds, or generation 1 was 200's. From 82 to 84, then the gen 2's were 250 I have both generations.

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

Sweet find👍 I’ve got 2 of these and they’re too much fun...which is why they were made illegal to produce

What you do on all your videos you do is what me and all my friends used to do 20 years ago. But hands down Honda made the best trikes very dependable. Yes I've had a lot of the Yamaha too my favorite was the tri z 250 as far as Yamaha lol Kawasaki would be the 250 Ducati both 2 strokes I'm sure you know I had both

I was always surprised at how good they did n the snow… I still have a scar on my leg from a 3 wheeler previous to the big red.. I did flip it and broke the frame n 3 places.. then dad replaced it with the big red then sold it and gave me his ol blue moto 4 4 wheeler.. that thing went almost as good as a 4wd.. then put chains on it and it really did well..
