How did Yamaha align the fat rear wheel with the front sprocket if the BW200 had a short countershaft? Was the engine shifted to the port side, or was the rear wheel shifted to the starboard side?
I think the Zong engine might be patterned after the XT200 engine. However, I know from my top end rebuild that the Zong employs an XT225 flywheel.
Some of the parts in the Zongshen engine are a little different from the parts in a TW200 engine, but all the parts are compatible with the same Yamaha, engine block series.
