Just buy the parts you need. There is no complete kits for sale . Order crank bearings and crank seals . You might find this as a kit aftermarket . If you plan on getting crank rebuilt you will have to buy rod kit and find someone to do this if you’re not capable of doing it . But a gasket kit etc

The rieju 200 crank bushing if you wanted to chuck up in lathe and cut it down shorter would work . They just to wide. I’m not positive but might be wider cause they don’t use the weight maybe behind drive gear ?

One guy in here turned his down to fit a ktm crank seal . There is non left in USA new of these

Just pull headlight assy off and turn forks and you should see it it’s not electro penciled . You will see what I mean when you find it . If you don’t find it that means someone removed it and if so stolen

Neck / where triple clamps for forks go thru . Steering neck . Whatever you want to call it .

The 2003 should still be nickle plated frame . I have a 2003 in the collection . I think my 2001 also had a factory added aluminum plate on the middle down tube tube with info besides the frame neck vin

It is stamped into frame neck . It could be bunch of little dots to make the digits . If it’s been painted by someone then they probably painted over

I don’t recommend letting a 2 stroke idle for longs periods of time . If your float valve is leaking by you could have flooded engine with fuel . There used to be a crank area drain plug on bottom of engine cases if you wanted to check . Should be a step Allen bolt with copper washer . Not the...

You’re still going to have your side to side play with your crank . It’s the engine cases themselves . Not the bearings or crank

Not sure why but the 200 engines did not originally come with the two piece bearing . They came with both side ball bearings

Yes the 200 did not use the two piece bearing . Just for info also in case you were wondering . The 200 engine cases are smaller in the crank flywheel area ( not width but the round part of flywheel are smaller on the 200 than the 250/300.

I’ve bought a few times from Moto-classic . He got all parts out factory when ktm bought out . Don’t order thru website though he told me . Email them with what you want and they will find best shipping and send you an invoice to pay . I’ve made a few big orders and shipping was fast and usually...

I love these bearings . They were expensive so Gasgas stopped using them at some point . My 2010 and 2011 had just ball bearings and they were even sealed on both sides so no premix oil got to the balls . Stupid design . Both bikes got the two piece bearing on that side . On another note I...

The side to side movement was common in high mileage early 2000 era bikes we had around here . The one side crank bearing that is supposed to be pressed into case ends up not needing to be pressed anymore . Not much you can do with it . Motoclassic in the uk has some nos 200 engine cases . On...
