Honda diagrams of the trx200's frame and swingarm are of zero help so I hope I can glean some knowledge from y'all here.

I recently ordered another round of parts for my $20 scrapyard quad, this time a much needed new carb, and fuel petcock valve. However one thing is still in my way - NUTS AND BOLTS!

There is a flange nut and/or flange bolt on the rear swingarm/subframe that helps keep the two components properly mated and prevents flexing. (Near the rear sprocket)

The previous owner apparently removed or lost this hardware and improvised by jamming a single random bolt into the bolt hole and threaded two nuts onto it back to back.

This setup allows the frame/swingarm to flex/move, causing the chain to pop off every time you go over a bump or turn too tightly.

Can anyone help me identify this hardware in terms of which nuts and bolts are needed, and where they can be acquired? I apologise for my ignorance, this is my first time working on one of these little hondas, and my head is spinning!

My help may be a little too basic for you, but here goes. I was just over at Partszilla.com and looked up the TRX200. What year is your TRX?? The diagram you need may be the Frame vs. Rear Axle.

It's a 1986, and I'll give that another look. I wish I had a photo of the location in question, will take one tomorrow if I don't dig something up.

could the hardware you looking for be in this pic ------ are you close to New Orleans , I'd sell you the entire rear end of a 1986 200 , the swing arm, axle , carrier , sprocket , hubs , etc , for $100

That sounds like a killer deal right there!

 

[DesertRyder]

Sadly I'm in Arizona, otherwise that'd be killer. Going to load the quad up in the back of the truck today and move it to our new place, I'll be sure to snap a pic of it then.

Is there a full exploded view of the assembled rear end we can look at? I feel that would help. Pointing out the area I am thinking of feels next to impossible between all these seperate component diagrams.

I've been to partzilla. The problem is I am looking for only a nut and a bolt that holds the frame and the swingarm(?) together, not a part that belongs to one of the seperate components. I think this is what's making it hard to find.

Has no one else had this problem with their quad before?

 

[fishfiles]

then look at the swing arm finche

 

[DesertRyder]

Shows the component itself but not the bolts/nuts that fix it to the frame... neither does the frame diagram if I'm seeing it correctly.

 

[fishfiles]

bolt 8 and nut 9 attach the swing arm to the frame

 

[DesertRyder]

If I'm seeing this right I need the bolts that pass through the two points at the top-right of the swingarm in that diagram.

 

[DesertRyder]

I might be explaining this wrong, haha - it's not the super long bolt, rather the shorter ones that go on the back of the swingarm. It pinches two parts of the frame together, without it the chain pops off from the allowed flex.

well then 42 is the bolts on this print

well then 42 is the bolts on this print

those bolts ( and I was thinking this from the start ) is the chain adjustment tension bolts.

 

[DesertRyder]

If i remember correctly it's one of the bottom two in this pic. Previously had a random bolt and 2 nuts through it, which was wiggling.

 

[fishfiles]

if the bolt is wiggling in the hole , then it might be a little late to get the right bolt , the hole might already be egged out , the bolt would be metric to start with , no telling whats in there now , just go to the hardware store and get a bolt , you might have to go to a bigger size now if it was run long with the wrong bolt in it

where are the chain adjustment bolts ?, I don't see the two that are suppose to be attached to those lower bolts ???. they are number # 3 in fishes post above ^^.
