So Friday was my birthday and I got this instead of a cake.
It's a 2012 200xcw.. owned by a gal from Fargo. Nice thing is she bought a 2014 and swapped the suspension, forks and shock, seat, bars and clutch from the 14 into the 12 so they are all brand new! She had a Rekluse and custom suspension etc and put all that on the 14.
It's got a few hours on it, around 115, but it's been extremely well maintained and also has new tires.
I might slap a piston and rings in it as it's so easy and cheap on a 2T.. but I don't think it needs it. I ripped around on it a bit and it's nice and snappy. Played with the power valve setting some and I'm surprised at the power. 209 lbs dry so it feels like a damn bicycle.
I'm anxious to get it up to Akeley in the tight woods...

How are the springs? I have an 80-250 shock and .46 fork springs that I'd sell cheap, came on the bike and were way too stiff for me. Too lazy to put them on ebay... :-\
They seem plenty stuff but I need to check the sag..

Jim how many hours do you have on your 250?

120 hours, since I bought it. Don't know what the PO accumulated, but the cylinder still looks good. It had a new piston when I bought it.
Some guys say just watch the compression and when <= 155 psi, it's time. The 200 might have different values than the 250/300 though.
I'm sure the HP and suspension are basically identical to my 91 kdx200 but I sure like the orange. :o
