most probably 1.87:1,but could be 2:1
the original 1986/7 XR2 (clamshel model) was I think 2:1, after that model, the std was 1.87:1, but some people re-ratioed the later model to 2:1

If you got a good eye and ident the shaft, put it in fwd gear and turn the crank two revolutions see where the shaft ends up,
2:1 easy. 2 crank , 1 shaft
1.75 easy, 2 crank 1 3/4 turns shaft
1.87, my eys are shagged I couldnt see it !!!! but if it anint one of the other two !!!!! must be then 1.87

Sorry rotate the crank 7 times & you can see the angular rotation on the prop shaft. 7 is good as the % are higher and easier to determine
ratio crk trns psft rev
2 7 3.5
1.87 7 3.743315508
1.75 7 4

You been on the meths again John?
I reckon, rest your forehead on a broom handle, and walk round & round the handle till you fall over, that means it's a 1.87:1

Meths is very groovy, stains your mouth barney Purple.
I'm going to try again as that cut & paste was shite.
Take out the plugs unless you are trying for a work out of biblical proportions. 2:1 is easy turn the crank twice & the Propshaft should make 1 turn.
To se the difference in the other ratios. you need more than two turns of the crank unlless you can eyeball the dfference between 1.06 & 1.14 turns of the shaft.
I would look for about 7 turns on the crank so a 1: 87 would show 3.74 turns
1.75 will show 4 turns of the shaft

Yeh. My 85 150 xr2 was 2:1. Also had the old preload pin on the top of the driveshaft.
