Picked up a rough 2006 Roketa RJM-200e
We have a Roketa dealer in town so I took a chance grabbing this bike for $200 off craigslist. It has 600 miles but is in poor non-running condition. I've been out of the bike game for 7 years now and wanted to start back with a cheap project. I have been searching for several days now for info on this bike with not too much luck. I think I have identified the motor as the GY2 OHC My replacement/work list is as follows
headlight assembly/shroud and light chain is super rusty clean carb no keys for tank or ignition no battery or battery box one bent spoke on front wheel flat front tire melted sparking relay melted cdi I plan on riding this bike on 300 mile plus trips to the Texas Hill Country and would like to put it back to reliable condition. I found these parts on Roketa's site but would like to know if there are better replacments I should buy instead of the ones through Roketa. I would also like info on the best sproket/chain upgrade to make. Any info on oil changes and recomended oil. Which Japanese bike is similar so as I might find an upgraded exhaust/intake/jet for this bike. Is there a better plug/wire/coil to run? Is this bike sold under a different name as well? I'm 240lbs so I am trying to squeez out all the hp I can. Thanks for all the future help and I will post up pics soon. I look forward to being a member of this community. |
Great score! :D
That's an OHC 200. That's a bit of a rareity. My original Dirt Rat used a 200cc OHC Lifan engine and it was excellent. A bit revier and maybe more powerful than the pushrod version. |
Thanks Doc. Even with new tires and all the parts listed I should be in the $400 range when completed. Looking forward to going on some epic trips.

Honda did made 63.5 X 62.2 OHC in Brazil.
Search "Honda XLR 200R XR 200R modified by Jack.pdf" (thanks to that Filipino uploader) in Google for the shop manual. If still can't find it, PM me & i will send it to ur e-mail address. |
Welcome!
What melted the CDI and flasher? |
I believe they were touching the exhaust. Ordered a bunch of parts yesterday so she should be on the road next week if I can find time. I put a new CDI and plug in it. I also changed the oil and put some fresh Rotella T6 in. I found a fried ground wire that needs to be replaced before it can fire up. I have some Shinko 244's coming in 3.0 front and 4.6 rear with some 4mm heavy duty tubes. I wish I could find a nice exhaust that will bolt on as its the worst piece on the bike rust wise.

You can use the electrolytic de-rusting technique. All it takes is a battery charger, a plastic garbage can, some Arm & Hammer Washing Soda and water.

Nice score! :D Thanks for posting the photographs.
You're making good progress; you will have that bike running in short order. ;) The Roketa parts are fine. :) Spud :) |
Got the new wiring harness, ignition/key, cdi, coil, headlight, battery, battery box, front tube, cleaned the tank, new gas line, oil change installed tonight and took her on the maiden voyage around the neighborhood.

Most of them are. I've always gone with the plastic ones on ebay. I bought a metal one off of ebay but it didn't seal tight enough so it leaked. If you send me your address, I can ship the metal one out to you. Its red but needs one of those valve stems. I had to steal that one for mine :P
|
Great little project you've got there! Just the sort of thing I'm looking for over here in the uk!
|
Congrats on the maiden voyage! :D
If a little fuel spews out only when it's idling, perhaps the float is a little high. |
Congratulations! You've done a lot of good work. :D
Spud :) |
