GY200 Parts

monjorrow · 06-10-2014, 06:35 PM

Hi all, I just picked up a pretty sweet little toy today. Its a Redcat gy200, with tag and title

. The only thing wrong with it is the header pipe is pretty busted up and needs replaced, and I am at a loss of where to look to find parts for it. I tried a quick google search and called the few dealers that popped up but none of them had any. So where is the best place to order from(preferable U.S. based), for a new header pipe. Also, I'm pretty sure I am going to be needing a new(larger) front sprocket to get up to highway speeds on the road, so hopefully I can get the two parts at the same place. Thanks in advance for any help, and of course I'll have to show it off a little lol.

Welcome!

Nice looking bike. May we see a pic of the damaged header?

That's a seriously clean machine! Looks virtually unused! Odds are, someone here has a pipe laying around. Also, I've seen different configurations of mid pipe/muffler combinations. Your best bet is probably to buy the whole unit from someone as opposed to trying to match the correct mid pipe.

alright I semi tore it apart and here's what I found. One of the studs that comes out if the engine is missing, so I'll need to replace that. It looks like it was torn out, but I think I can get a new one in with some patients and jb weld:P. And here are some pictures of the header pipe and where they join the muffler tube. I do think purchasing a while system is going to be my best bet, but from where? I'm not really going for performance, as I bought this to teach my gf to ride and maybe take it on some for roads. Let me know what you guys think!

Maybe it's difficult to see in the pic, but all I see is a broken bolt in the heat shield mount. Is there any other damage? If not, you could do the electrolytic de-rusting trick and restore the pipe, then paint it with a few coats of heat paint.

Weldangrind · 06-11-2014, 11:21 AM

Also, I agree that a little patience and some JB Weld (or Permatex Cold Weld - also good stuff) will repair that exhaust stud. The good news is that an entire replacement head is cheap as chips from China.

monjorrow · 06-11-2014, 11:25 AM

You are correct. I may just try that and see what happens. So I'll need a gasket, engine stud, and what is this trust removal trick you speak of?

Very nice. I'll giveit a try when I get back from my blue ridge parkway moto trip layer this week.

2LZ · 06-11-2014, 12:09 PM

Pipe looks good to me! Just needs Welds clean-up technique! Fix the stud, see what happens. Remember....being a China Rider is all about doing it cheap! :-)

By the way, aren't you glad it says "kickstarter"? I wouldn't have known either.... ;-)

Okay, 1 more question. I know these bikes are XR200 copies, and I am finding that out seeing as how I just happen to have an XR I am rebuilding at the moment. My question, the exhaust on the xr has a split collar that holds the exhaust flange to the gasket, are these supposed to have those as well? Because mine doesn't. So I'm either going to have to use the ones from my XR or find a place that sales them. Correct?

My bike was pretty much the same as yours . Was badged as a VIVA ,same plastics as yours . Mine had the split collars . your pipe does not appear to need them . I now have a 250 engine in it (167fmm really 229cc) and I run a cfr230 header ,that does not need split collars . FYI I am not sure if a crf230 pipe will fit the 200cc And I had to taper down the welded collar and slot the bolt holes to fit the 167fmm head.

Weldangrind · 06-12-2014, 09:49 PM

I have a few XR200 motors around, along with several China versions, and none of the China motors have split collars. That said, I have used a split collar header on a China motor that I installed in an '83 XR200R.

Well I JB welded the exhaust studs and did Weld's rust removal trick (worked like a charm), and now I am just waiting for the JB to cure so I can put the exhaust and bike back together tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to ride this thing tomorrow and see if I am gonna need new sprockets to make it road worthy.
