On most xr200 engines and their variants (Honda vertical 125cc, 185cc, 200cc common from late 70's through millennium on motorcycles, ATC's and ATV's) there is a rubber boot just behind the cylinder on the top left side of the case. Remove it, and start the engine. At idle, loosen the 14mm bolt for a few (8-10) seconds and then re-tighten the bolt. By loosening the 14mm, this releases the tension-er and the spring takes up the chain slack. When the 14mm is tightened it holds the tensioner in place. There is a 10mm bolt screwed into the 14mm which doesn't need to be removed for this. It is for the manual adjusting method, used when the spring won't tension the chain properly using the method above. The manual method isn't recommended unless you know what you are doing as too much tension will destroy the bearing race in the head. BTW, valve clearance is .002 Intake and .003 Exhaust, engine cold.

How do you adjust a timing chain on a 3 wheel Honda 200 ATV?

you need a repair manual so you can identify the timing marks so you don`t put it together with the timing off 180.you have to turn the engine over and take the masterlink off the chain then you can remove the head and check the valves and guides and replace the chain.before you attempt this you should do a compression test to see how the rings hold up for compression and for valve leakage.

The V6 has a timing belt, the 4 cylinder has a timing chain. The LS 200 is SUPPOSED to have a 6 cylinder engine, so it would have a timing belt which should be replaced every 100,000 miles.

To set the timing on a 1997 Honda FourTrax 200 Type 2 ATV, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Next, remove the timing inspection plug and align the timing mark on the flywheel with the mark on the case. If necessary, adjust the ignition timing by loosening the ignition coil and rotating it slightly until the timing marks align properly. Finally, tighten the coil bolts and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correct.
