TRX 200

Finally got some time to drag it up out of the weekds and do a little work on it. What I thought was a stuck-in-gear issue turned out to be a stuck-in-brake issue LOL. Just needs some TLC. Thinking of replacing fenders and such with some custom aluminum diamond plate panels. Salvaged a bunch from a pickup tool box I acquired.

Are the original fenders not salvageable?  That's the way to go if they are. 

[ScottCarl]

They are badly cracked, but still in one piece. Someone tried plastic stitching/welding them but that failed. After working on it some more, thinking I might make some panels to pop rivet to the plastic like decorative panels. Easier that trying to remake everything and a lot of the plastic is still integrally sound as far as mounting to the frame. Working on getting it running first. Off to pick up battery and new ignition coil tomorrow. Sorting out wiring harness right now 😉👍

Look up on YouTube fixing atv plastics with hose clamps. You cut pieces then heat them up then press them into the back side. They work awesome. Very strong too.

Well, here it is so far. It's basically, all together. Won't start, tho. Good batt. Just replaced the starter solenoid. Checked wiring at nauseum! Thinking inhibitor switch?

Hmm, you could try it. This might be the reason of the problem, but it's not guaranteed.

Can you pull start it?

[MechJony]

A bent shift fork or even a jammed up the shift linkage could be the cause of being stuck in gear.

[MechJony]

The only way to be certain of the problem is to start dismantling the motor. Begin by removing the side cover opposite the shift lever; the shifter shaft runs across the motor, and the shift ratchet may be seen under the side cover. If everything appears to be in order, you will need to enter the cases. Unfortunately, this requires the motor's total disassembly. I've met this problem while one of my friend's quad bikes suddenly broke, while we were planning a trip to Tenerife according to this guide https://riderly.com/blog/guide-to-renting-quad-tenerife-island/.

Good info to have. Just picked up a 200 trx. Thanks

You say it won't start , meaning no spark, or starter won't turn over with key. Is it stuck in gear , can you get it to neutral.
