Today I picked up a KTM SX200 2004. I had been searching for an SX200 for a while and was prepared to drive 1500km to get one, an appointment was made, a preparations set.

Two days prior to departure, a somewhat local (60km) SX200 came up at half the price of the first one, so I HAD to go see it.

For the money i saved versus driving and paying a premium price, this was a good deal! All bearings and and suspension seals need fixing, plus the obvious plastics, at least.

One of the best bikes that I wish that I had never gotten rid of. Mine was a 2003.

It looks like you need a correct 200SX exhaust pipe for the bike too. The current one on the pictures is from a 200 EXC

That bike has a stroked crank or long rod. It has a spacer under the cylinder

I think it has something to so with the crank having a baseplate. Maybe it has been stroked or maybe just a longer rod. Any info on common meds for this?

Will it? Im thinking it might fit nice with the raised cylinder?

Hi. It makes a very noticeable difference. They are hard to pick up second hand. I found one in the Uk. I think hgs make a version. And doma in France make one. The exhaust is very similar to a 150 exhaust but it is physically bigger in size.

As other guys have already said, base plate indicates that your bike might have a stroker crankshaft and motor might be bigger than 200 cc . I think someone has swapped exhaust from 200EXC to make power band more mellow for enduro use. I would definitely get correct 200SX exhaust pipe for motocross use. I don't think there will be any fitment issues due to raised cylinder.

I'll be looking for an HGS or DOMA I think Smile

Right now my main concern is fixing it up and making it work well.

As of now, everything has been torn apart, the frame is at the painter, forks at the suspension shop and the rearshock I will do myself as time allows Smile

That's going to be a fun project. Maybe I missed where you said it, but did it run before you tore it down?

Yeah when I picked it up this saturday it ran well, so I just took it apart to fix the chassis. Somebody has loved this engine and put alot of effort into it, so I will run it and see how I like it before I do anything to it.

If I like it, then I see myself overhauling the engine come wintertime.

Just to give a small update.

I bought a carburettor from Wish and put in the original Keihin jets. The bike has been running perfect since.

Right now the bike is doing very well. Mostly playing with suspension settings.

I'm on a 69-250 spring, with both compression and rebound all the way out.

Sag at 110mm.

What front pipe are you running. Is that from a 150sx. How do you find it?
