Honda 200x Chinese motor swap wiring

[@The1993mustanglx]

Thanks man, I have a old xl185s that's got metal in the oil. I plan to rebuild the factory motor eventually but this will get me back on the road for now.

[@JVanpatrol]

Thank you!! i just bought the same motor and for the life of me reading all the diagrams online i couldnt find which wires were which, they were all labelled by color and not function

[@p0w3rs3rj]

Thanks for the vid, I just slapped the Lifan 250 on my ytm200k and was struggling to find an accurate wiring diagram

[@Theaustrianpainter88]

I'm roughly going the same route with my 83 200x. Not sure which chinese 200 I have, it's a manual clutch 5sp. It's from a chinese blaster. I noticed it uses a 530 front sprocket, I'm going with a 520 35tooth rear n 18" tires so I'll have to sort out the front sprocket. I'm curious to see how many clearance issues I have with a 400ex rear shock on it. Built myself a plus 2 swingarm with progressive linkage. I'm hoping worst-case I'll make a longer intake to make the carb clear the resivor on the shock

[@Rainman673]

Hey ,I was just wondering how your motor swap was going. My 200x locked up today on me .I am going to go the same route you guys did

[@OGbqze]

If you get the chance, could you make an update video on how it's doing? I'm planning on buying one of these for a motorcycle project, but I'm not sure about longevity.

[@leebenson3201]

Thanks for sharing I’m considering this option for my 200x I’ve just started looking into this and have no ideal which Chinese motor is the better quality and if they offer one with a wiring harness with everything I need to make it work. How did you do you rear brake pedal?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Haven’t done it yet but I’m thinking a Honda 300 fourtrax pedal assembly

[@DankSwags]

Where do you have your green wire at on your ignition coil

[@tylermiller3005]

Where do you put the wires coming out of the motor connected to?

[@MarieMilliman]

I'm currently doing the same swap but on a 200s, I need some pictures of how the wiring is done up by the headlight, I currently have no spark

[@craigbrackney6472]

I’m doing a 200s also. Did you get it all figured out.

[@tylermiller3005]

Would it be possible too get a better idea on how too wire the motor and everything else I just got the motor put into my yamaha blaster frame and now I'm just currently struggling on the wiring. Please help 🙏

[@bigt9049]

Can u show us the safety wire and where it leads upto in the engine is it right behind the cog and also do you know where i can purchase that from i need one i know uou can run it without but id prefer to have it

[@josho134]

You think there's a way to hook up a neutral indicator light to the pigtail that's just hanging?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

@@josho134 almost certain, just been to lazy to do it. Plan on it soon tho so stick around

[@josho134]

I appreciate it, I just am having the hardest time getting spark with this engine and wiring I got two CDIs but no power come from the red/blk and white/blk and idk why

[@Roadfarms]

Can you please put the link you bought it from

[@methesponge]

this looks like it is gonna save me ... i bought a motor on ebay that i want to build a vehicle around. so this is perfect for my project.

[@AndrewSanders52]

So what you showed in the video for the wires is all you had to swap around everything els was plug and play?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

There is only on plug in on the motor necessary for it to run, and it is like 5 wires

[@TristanMoreland-qc1im]

will this motor be enough for my trx300ex? i dont have money to get a new motor and just need something to have fun with

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

It probably will, won’t be as powerful of course

[@TristanMoreland-qc1im]

@@wickedoffroadmachines yeah i am planning on upgrading that motor to push a little more out of it, but it should be enough to have fun with?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Mine is fun so far

[@thegman4759]

Was that harness a direct fit. Please let me know and send a link if you can please i have the same looking engine but i think its a 250 and im have a hard time getting the original wiring harness to work i do have a cheap wiring harness i bought but the connections arent the same

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

No, I spent about two hours with a wiring diagram to hook it all up

[@atcadam]

man do you still view this i have the same thing same wiring harnesss neeed help lol

[@ATCAdventureland]

Does it seem to have as much power as the stock 200x engine?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Seems more powerful but the old motor was wore out

[@yourbestlife6945]

Could this fit on ah dirt bike??? Cuz I need ah new motor

[@JeremiahDaluperit-by8tg]

I'm curious if these motors have the same power or close to it as the stock motors. Currently building a bike from the ground up and the engine I picked up that "ran when it was pulled" was actually trashed

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Can tell you it will stand wheelies in fourth

[@JeremiahDaluperit-by8tg]

@wickedoffroadmachines7241 that being said I'm grabbing one today

[@cristianrochanunez4948]

@@JeremiahDaluperit-by8tg did u get it? How’s the torque

[@danieldavidson8149]

How is the gearing? I did the math for a similar motor and it came out to be a top speed of over 120mph which seems wrong because who would ever go that fast with one of these engines. That math was based on a 54 tooth rear sprocket and 22” tall tires

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Run 30-35 pegged on a 11 tooth front and 40-45 on 15

[@mickbullerman4976]

Currently working on an engine like this only it’s water cooled. The previous owner cobbled the wiring so bad I didn’t know where to start. I ordered a wiring harness for it and a brand new carburetor. Has spark, getting fuel, valves are moving, but it won’t even try to pop. Wondering if the new wiring harness somehow throws off the timing? Any input?

[@danieldavidson8149]

I don’t know what carb you are using but cheap carbs are typically junk. They will either have a float valve that’s stuck or set improperly or clogged jets from the factory. I’d recommend dribbling some gas or starting fluid to rule out the change of it just being a bad carb. It’s possible that it’s something else but a carb is an easy one to check first

[@jamestyree8884]

I read somewhere that the sprocket on the chinese engines isnt for a 520 chain. if that is the case, what sprocket are you using?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

185s sprocket

[@Rainman673]

Do you have any links for the motor and wiring harness

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

It’s labeled as x pro 200cc engine on Amazon

[@ronsneydjr3509]

Does this motor cause you a lot of vibrations? I'm hearing it vibrates the bike like crazy when riding

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Nope and is quite responsive

[@chriseisenbraun5541]

What did you do with the foot brake pedal?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Have not fixed yet

[@AaronRossMusic]

Which engine is it? Can you post the make and model?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Not really a make and model, just the cheapest one on eBay

[@ericjohnson9080]

So this has reverse gear?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

Yes but I wouldn’t recommend getting the one with reverse. The one without reverse still has a kickstart. Reverse is too high geared

[@bekerd6328]

Do u have a wiring diagram or a link where I can find one

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

It was just a 110 atv wiring harness on ebay

[@deelocable]

Would like to see how you wires this I did my 200x with the same motor and harness was able to get spark but will not start if you have any info for that.

[@xips420]

Awesome

[@UnkownAdventure]

How has this engine been working so far ? Also what kinda of harness do you recommend to buy?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

I bought the cheapest simplest 50cc atv harness on ebay. The motor has done good thus far

[@UnkownAdventure]

@@wickedoffroadmachines ahh alright sounds good thanks, I just did the same exact swap on mine but haven’t been able to go ride it yet

[@hhstarwars]

Did the engine come with specs? What’s the hp?

[@wickedoffroadmachines]

No sadly

[@owenchabot]

Its 14 hp and puts out 18 n*m of torque.

[@Kingjulian-]

helped alot thx

[@johndorazio3759]

Im doing the same thing
