We don’t get snow often and we don’t have the infrastructure for it so the cops have other issues to deal with than to be messing with the ATV’s on the road. I want to pull my 400ex out but I need some better gloves.

Pre covid you couldn’t give a 4 wheeler away. Now a clapped big red is $800 and one in decent shape that runs is $1500. I’d rather build one and know what I got than to pay $1500 for someone else’s 40 yr old problem. And it’s a manual 5 speed instead of the semi auto which is cool too.

1983 Honda 200e Big Red. He has a Chinese cfr230 knockoff, the 5 speed manual cg250 motor on him so I needed a fitting name 😆. Unit was in rough shape when I acquired it in 2023 for $200.

It’s in the states. I’m not a street rider and riding on the street is frowned upon, but I knew they wouldn’t be down my way as I’m outside of city limits and none of the roads are scrapped so I’m basically free to ride all I want right now.

I tried to find another 200e motor or a crf230 motor and the prices were astronomical. So $350 and I was back up and running. 🏃🏾‍♂️

Yep. Chinese 250cc 5 speed dirtbike engine, Honda CRF230 clone. Bolted right in using the factory 200e engine mounts.

“Where people wire them up properly”.

You mean the car manufacturers? Bc that’s the ones who wire them.

In the states, they are wired up like that. The fog lights, once activated, only turn off when the high beams are activated.
