Killed the GY200 this weekend....

omega_man · 02-20-2007, 12:16 PM

Had relatives out for the long weekend and we all went out and rode quite a bit.

The kid did really well on his GY200 - best I've seen him ride - sand dunes, washed out roads, rocky wasted desert - some pretty rough stuff.

I was riding sweep and on the last leg of our loop - the easy, wide, mostly smooth powerline road back to where we parked the truck I passed everyone to make sure they didn't miss the cut-off.

Of course the kid - seeing Dad blast down the road at 65mph desides to crank it up a notch himself - best I can tell he just hit a rock at the wrong angle - freak thing really - it pushed him off his line, he over corrected, skidded a little then lowsided hard at about 40mph.

Bike slid along and the left side engine case hit a big rock pretty hard and cracked - spilled the oil out all over...foward sprocket cover broke off completetely, chain came off and balled up hard too.

Kid's going to be fine - bike maybe not so much. 8O

Anybody weld up a case on these bad boys? Might try a little JB Weld - I have't got a chance to really look it over yet...

Road we were on:

Bleeding Bike:

GY200 Blood:

More Carnage:

Left a mark on the rock too:

We're still game though:

All I can say is - OUCH!

Glad he's ok and his get-off was before it smashed into the rock... yikes, just thinking of a leg in there gives me the weebie jeebies. I'm surprised the gear shifter is still in good shape.

You can fix it... Parts should not be hard to get I would think.... Glad he didn't get hurt. What's with the ADV salute?

Glad your boys OK man! That's what really counts. As for the bike a $4000 Honda 200 wouldn't have faired any better... you can get a new engine for $400 and a new bike for $1200 you can't replace the boy.

If someone would take some detailed pix of the lower frame rails and front mount areas of the frame [maybe a ruler included for scale], I would check the nice aftermarket skidplate I have on my XR/Lifan 200 and see if it would fit.

Probably will, if you're ready to drill a few holes into aluminum.

It was one of the first things I did after mounting the Lifan motor, since it is a bit wider than the XR motor. Not quite as protected, since it was made for the XR, but a whole lot more protected than stock Lifan!

PM Culcune(Simon) He's suposed to be getting a new motor, he may make you a good deal on the old one for the cases.

Omega....

Glad the kid was unscathed and defiant enuff to flip the bird for us. lol

Was that the Kinroad? That he crashed?

If that was the Kinroad... Whered the skidplate go that came with it?

Did that fall off during the crash?

that doesnt look too awful bad, although it could have tweaked the frame with a solid hit like that. Hope you find a spare motor laying around so you can get that back on the road.

omega_man · 02-22-2007, 02:45 PM

Yeah that's the Kinroad and it has a skidplate - the engine case however sticks out well beyond what the plate covers.

I'm out of town this weekend so I'm not gogin to get a chance to tear into it until next weekend

Thanks for the tips - prolly try cold steel or jb weld first.

Step one: go on ebay.
Step two: buy the brand new OHC motor for 420$
Step three: buy some turnsignals for 30$
Step four: ride the bike and crash it again
Repeat as neccesary
