So i noticed that the XL185 has 2 rear shocks but the frame i have only has 1 shock in the middle of the bike under the seat which would then make your info correct that it is a XL200 frame.

The engine was not installed in this bike when i bought it but it clearly says XL185SE on the engine case.
I am guessing someone tried a engine swop or could it possibly be a 200cc engine even though xl185se is printed on it?
I understand the engines are very similar and some parts are interchangeable?
