wr200 rebuild

[andrewj1680]

Ordered some nice new bits today a fmf fatty front pipe and power core rear silencer along with the exhaust flange adapter witch will allow me to run the fmf, spoken to mick abbey to ported the cylinder and modify the squishband, it looks like it's been rebuilt not so long ago the gaskets are pretty fresh but gonna open it up for piece of mind and rebuild it anyway makes sense too. Bad side I'm having problems finding panels I want a full new set really but according to fowlers of Bristol they are discontinued

@andrewj1680 All sounds cool bud, keep them pics coming as you progress!!!

[andrewj1680]

All stripped and ready to post to mick abbey tuning

@andrewj1680 do not send tge barrel with the piston in the bore. That's a big no no.

Besure to remove the studs and powervalve, he will charge to remove them otherwise.

Looks like a sweet barrel though

[andrewj1680]

See I sent my dt parts like that, I paid £170 including my postage back but he didn't skim the head or cylinder so now wondering if that is why or just the fact they didn't need it maybe

I love it! Want a wr200 project too. Look great next to my DTR / wr200 hybrid

@louis-james

Thats a DT200WR not a WR200

[Louis-DT-WR]

@scrimsmustang what is the main difference? I believe one is premix and not sure if one was sleeved cylinders

[Nottsbiker]

Plastic / metal tank
Number plate holder and tail light
Ignition switch
Speedometer and idiot lights
Oil pump and tank
Passenger footpegs
Indicators
Silencer type

I think that the cylinder and carb might be tuned differently too

[scrimsmustang]

@nottsbiker

As above, DT deffo has steel tank and indicators. WR I had only had lights on or off no high,low no horn no brake lights, plastic tank. I think topends where 3XP on both, cant remember if carbs where different.

91 DT200WR I owned a long time

2000 WR200 I owned a looonnnggg time ago

[Nottsbiker]

Your first one was very similar to mine. I changed the vivid magenta seat for black to match the powder coated frame in black as the white was in very poor condition and not to my liking. My forks were a cherry red if I remember correctly.

Sold it for a about £750 7+ years ago unregistered and have regretted it ever since.

Btw didn't you have a WR250Z as well?

[Nottsbiker]

Ps i also had a full FMF system on mine which transformed the character of the bike

[scrimsmustang]

@nottsbiker

Yes I had a brand new 250 way back in 04

[scrimsmustang]

Ended up Yellow in the end

[Nottsbiker]

Nice one mate

Hopefully this 200 will turn out just out as tidy!

Because I fitted a large capacity tank I got it in Yellow and went for the Hurricane Hanna look, plus the bike was used for purpose and it looked 10 years old when it was 3 months old.

This was its first few times it was ever used.

@scrimsmustang Now that's what they call a bog for-sure!!!
