Does anyone know of some good ways to upgrade the xf200

I believe FastDoc installed a DRC Edge 2 Tail Light. You might want to search this forum for his thread.

First off is what are you looking for? speed, performance upgrades, off-road, etc... I can help you with whatever you choose it's all a matter of how much time and money that you are willing to invest in your bike. There's a lot of bad information on these bikes as far as part numbers and what items actually work for the money.

Good to see you join here, too. I figured you will get quicker responses.

Preformance upgrades I have exhaust and I was wandering what cam will fit and more to make the low end stronger.

[trevort]

Drz 125/Klx 125 Hotcams stage 2 camshaft is a very good choice at $170.00 from Procycle, the Lt 230 and Stage 1 cams are okay but not much more than the stock cam.
Add a K&N airfilter and re-jet the carburetor (Jetsrus for parts) full exhaust system, with 16/44 gearing will push my Q to 82 mph. This is with the stock valves and springs but don't think that you can do these mods and get on the freeway with it. Any pictures of you bike would be appreciated and also what kind of riding do you plan on using your bike for would help.

[FastDoc]

Congradulations on buying one of the best CB's available. Trevort gave you expert information, I have little to add. The biggest improvement, if you do only one, IMHO would be the gearing.

You sure only going to get so much juice out of a 200cc trailbike but out of the box the Q is a fine dualsport, and Trevorts mods will only help.

I already have exhaust and rear 44. But after doing all the mods what did you mean by not geting on free way??? I plan on riding a little trails and to work somedays mainly a lot of street riding little highway but barly any. Maybe some little wheelies if I could get it to in 3rd...!! for your help.. I will upload pics when I figure out how.

The bikes don't have the power reserve for freeway evasive manuvers.

[kawi14]

Anyway you could explain that differently I don't exactly understand.

[FastDoc]

I was could have been killed 4 years or so ago when I was struck from behind riding a Chinese 200cc motorcycle on the freeway. I was wide open going up a hill at about 65 and was hit from behind by a girl on her cell phone going about 80.

I was substantially injured, and bear the scars to this day.

DON't ride little bikes on the freeway.

I'd say a Q is fine on roads posted at 55, maybe 60 MPH, although not for too far and certainly not at night.

Oh dang. rodes I ride on there's usally no cars and high way only about 3 min to work.. any help on how carb should be set up with 44 rear and exhaust? And idk if this is a problem but when I put my exhaust on the bolts well I can only see the right one when looking at the front and it won't screw all the way in.. idk if itsjust like that because the exaust is not exactly for the bike or the screw is striped.. the exhaust is on there tight.

[trevort]

Are you currently running the stock 15 tooth countershaft sprocket with a 44 rear or have you stepped up to a 16 tooth front? Full exhaust system including header or a slip-on silencer? Base line jetting should start with a 125 or 127.5 main jet (buy both jets just in case), a 35 pilot jet (Mikuni smooth side) and the needle on the 4th clip position. This should do until you decide to change to a K&N pod style airfilter, also please include a picture of your exhaust problem with what bolts are not lining up.

[kawi14]

15 front 44 rear and full exhaust header and tip I hv a 127.5 main jet and its running lean. Is it because I don't hace the 35 pilet and needle clip at4th? And would you say the drz stage 2 cam would be the best for this bike for more power?
Would you know of tue best way to set up this bike for stunting or is that imposible?

[trevort]

With all of my modifications that I have done to my bike it's currently running a: 132.5 main jet 37.5 pilot, needle 4th clip position so it's almost to the point where I need to move up to a Mikuni BS-30 or 32 carb. The Hotcams stage 2 cam is the best for the money in terms of keeping the stock valves and springs and maintaining a dependable street bike for daily use. Try contacting Ryan Moore at 50stunt.com for a rear hand brake or pegs for stand ups, there's a guy in Russia who stunts a Qingqi qm200 ( the exact same bike as a Xf200) and has some Youtube videos out. I think that the suspension being too soft is the main problem not a matter of the bikes capabilities to be a stunt bike, but 15/44 gearing has got to change for anything more than clutch up wheelies.
