1987 XR200R

My XR has been a great bike. I love how simple most everything is on it. Its a good starter bike and tough enough to handle some serious trail riding. Although its been great, its not been without its maintenance woes.

Soon I will be tearing into the engine. It runs great but this time its the transmission. On a trail ride I was on recently I lost 3/4 gears. It would shift into 1,2 and 5,6 but it was as if 3/4 were gone. I suspect a shift fork, but I won't know until I get into it. I plan on making a video of the complete teardown.

In another part of the blog I will be adding still pictures while I work on editing the video. Each new post will have some good information.

If your going to get into your XR200R innards this blog may help you. I will be covering special tools and best techniques for disassembly. I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading my blog.
