I'd like to learn about Honda trikes from you. I'd specifically like to know more about shaft drive quads, because I want to get ahold of a rear axle for a street-legal trike project. Is your Big Red shaft driven?

The 84 is shaft drive
Has a sub trans with high range low range and reverse

[Weldangrind]

Does the sub trans unbolt from the unit motor? Is the unit motor the same frame of architecture as an XR200?

The sub trans does unbolt. I'm not entirely sure wgat it's like behind it.
It's very similar to a xr200 I know lots of parts interchange with a few differences. Trike is semi auto so has a centrifugal clutch aswell as standard clutch pack

My parts trike is identical I could start taking it apart bit don't have much time lol

If there's any pics I could take to answer other questions. Let me know

I looked it up on CMSNL, and it has a solid axle. I need to find a shaft drive rear axle that has a differential. Oh well...

[katoranger]

Weld, You need to look at the TRX models I think. 4 wheeled versions.

[Dave_D]

I think most things you find will be solid
The Kawasaki klt 200 trike had a rear diff that was lockable. But it was chain drive

[katoranger]

Weld, I don't know how wide it needs to be.

That certainly has potential, but it might be a little light for a China trike. I still toss the idea around about making a Honda clone three-wheeled truck.

I'm not opposed to chain drive, since I'd be able to change sprockets as necessary. I have an engine with reverse, so that wouldn't be an issue.

[katoranger]

I think a chain drive may be easier to find.

We gotta stop jacking Dave's thread.

Dave, I bought a performance exhaust from Gio, back when they were cheap. It's a simple straight through design with a perforated plate at the end. If you calculate the area of the drilled holes in the plate, they exceed the area of the headpipe. Theoretically, there is no restriction.

You could use your stock head pipe and clamp or weld on any muffler you wish.

[Dave_D]

Lol it's alright I don't mind jacking....

Tgat came out wrong. Lol jk
Threads been good and entertaining.

I think I might skip performance engine mods for now and focus more on clutch/cvt.
cylinder and piston will probably be being replaced
But with standard 150cc

Any one have a site with links for cvt parts
Or is ebay going to be best bet (sugested parts welcome)
I've found cylinder and piston on ebay
Some say "for 78mm motor" something along those lines
From what I can tell there's 2 versions 80mm and 76 or 78mm can't remember what one. Bolt pattern for cylinders. Is there an easy way to tell ?

Thanks
Dave

Kato is the man to answer CVT questions.

[katoranger]

I buy my parts on ebay. Last time they came from South Carolina.

If I was replacing the piston and cylinder I woould step it up to a 170. I think the number of bolts on the valve cover gives a hint to the type. I have never had one open. Just worked on the CVT.

Here is a link to the red springs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCOOTER-GY6-...a5ebfc&vxp=mtr

There is also yellow. 1500 rpm.

Slider weights. These are 10g.

Here is a link to my buggy thread. The drive is going to be the same. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13291

I have 10g sliders in a new variator. My variator was broken. I also have the yellow springs.

This buggy has plenty of grunt for us, but our yard is flat. We can put two adults in and drag one. Don't now about top speed. Maybe 30mph.

I would suggest going the same way. It should climb hills well with one person.

FYI. I found the variator with the sliders for about $30. Having an impact wrench is almost a necessity for this job.

Sliders, springs, new belt. Look for a bando or gates belt too.
