Thank you for all the support!
Bet that’s faster than the 400ex
Have you ridden anything yet that has one of the “Rekluse” semi automatic clutches? I have seen a couple of other people install one of them on their machine and I would really like to see you install one on one of the machines that you build. You could get some good content from a little torture test and a review. That would be great,we’d get to see it in action and maybe you could explain how they function and how much you like it.
Don’t sell it!
Add some 2inch wheel spacers or a wider rear axle and some lower profile rear tires it will improve the handling and also use more body English lean much more. three wheelers require more from the rider than a 4 wheeler I grew up on them In The 80s and 90s I prefer a 3wheeler Over 4wheelers myself. Just gotta know how to ride and respect them cause they will hurt you quickly. Just been safe man. And don’t ride beyond your abilities please.
@Benjamin Janousek come to Nova Scotia there’s 3 wheelers everywhere
Your neighbours must absolutely love you 😂😂😂
AWESOME VID. I worked at a farm equipment dealership in the 80's that also sold recreational products, Honda atvs happened to be one of the products. I worked on all the of them. I moved on to a different job in 1990 but worked on a lot of Honda atv's on the side after as the move had been made to the trx 4 wheeler . The 350x and the 250r I worked on a pile of those replacing the rear axle brgs, seals, the clutches and engine rebuilds. The worst was a fellow did his own clutch, did everything properly and good but did not get the cover gasket he used a little too much silicone instead, a piece broke loose and blocked the oil feed to the cam. A chain link through the case is not a good thing either. I love watch vids like this, wish I could do it all over again good times.
Those clutch plates and fibers are a racing set up very good
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm INSANELY jealous!! I grew up lusting after 350x and 250r ATCs...nice score, man!! Have fun with her!!!!!
these videos are probably the only thing motivating me to fix my 200es.
30:34 does multiple Wheelies up and down his yard then says alright first test drive 😂😂😂😂
I know this isn’t your first three-wheeler ride Joe, but body english is the key. Don’t be afraid to really throw your weight down on the inside on turns. Obviously with speed it helps keep you upright but even when going slow, if you lean in it takes weight off of the outside tire which helps you turn sharp.
Just shift your ass around don't lean. We'll don't just lean. I wanted a quad as a kid. My dad said they promote poor body English lol. Got a atc 70, a 110 then a 185 a 90. Then switched to 2 wheels. 3 wheelers are great teachers. Like cactus. Lol you only need to be told once.
He’s a terrible rider, but a good mechanic, he’s definitely held back by fear, even when he’s kick starting some of the machines he doesn’t put any grunt into it, definitely has frustrated me watching him a few times lol
@@cbrnic yes agree very good mechanic but not so good a rider seem like he is scared for some reason. just like he never rides the trails he like the roads and a straight line
@@cbrnic he's a far worse mechanic than he is a rider🤣🤣🤣....and that's saying something....
@@johncoleman2495I agree. He's amateur at both, but I guess he doesn't profess to be a master. Still and all, he needs growth as a wrencher AND a rider.
I've always wanted a 250r. I'm 41 and still looking for one! 😭
Days gone by, I miss 3 wheelers. Rode many of these. So much fun!
Man I wish I still had my 350 from my childhood. What a great time!!!
I love seeing this because it reminds me of a time as a kid having these and you could still buy them I had the one in your video here and a black Kawasaki good times good times lol and love watching your videos and I'm thinking about buying a four wheeler just to rebuild using your videos thank you for the dedication in bringing back these blast from the past 😎👍👍👍
Wow these tree wheelers are so rare where i live in europe. If i ever can find one i will do a build serie on it!
Where you live
There rare here in the states
@@lifeononeweel3008 the netherlands
Let me add that I Love all three wheelers , whether two stroke or four stroke , I'm glad you guys are keeping them qlive!!😊👍
I sold my last 250R about 3 yearsa ago , too old and beat up to ride it like it deserved to ridden , but man do I miss them!!!
You prob know this, but… these three wheelers were first designed and marketed to farmers in Japan as small tractors.. It wasn’t until Americans started riding them like maniacs for sport that they switched the marketing. 😆 Great videos. I’m binging. Thanks.
Awesome job man! Glad you got her going good again! Hope you have fun, and take care of her.
Congrats on this one!!! Sounds Awesome
You did another great repair job as usual. thanks for the video I really enjoy watching your videos. Its really fast on the straight away. Like some others said smaller tires on the back and wheel spacers because it wont turn, it actually pretty scary watching you trying to turn it. It might go over one of these times. Your going to have to over exaggerate leaning inside. It not fun to turn. I hope you get those cool head lights workinng.
Congrats , on getting it going!
I got to ride a bunch of awesome stuff starting as a kid in the late 80’s. I started with a Honda 110cc Moped and an 80cc “Peewee” three speed kids dirt bike. I rode quite a few three wheelers and owned a couple here and there but, I didn’t ever get to ride any of the bad ass trikes with the five speed and a clutch. I had a good time riding the Honda big red 200cc wheelers and I really want to get the chance to ride a 250 or 350cc five speed like you have here.
My 350X also stalls sometimes when I'm coasting with the clutch pulled in. Once in a while, never quite figured out why. Great video. Keep it vintage.
Awesome. I remember these. Nice work and enjoy your videos.
This video helped me so much I new I'd pick something up watching all your videos
I bought a Honda xl500 with clutch issues and when I disassembled the clutch I saw that the pressure plate was damaged so I'm pretty sure once the part gets here it will be 100 as all the other components are still fine 🙂
That's a Barnett clutch u should use it
Valvoline got that oil where you don't have too worry about changing for almost a year 💪
I'd change it anyway. It's not gonna last any longer then the best quality penzzoil . Just a marketing scam to make you buy it , my opinion 🤷♂️
The last thing you want to do on the internet is start a motor oil debate. Trust me every body. 🤦♂️ let this comment end here lol😄
Awesome vid bud. Good to see that old trike running! My first bike was an 84 125m. If you can drive a trike, you can drive anything.
You do good work Joe! 👏 👍
Prime the engine by pushing not kicking the Kickstart 3-4 times. On your first kick, give it everything you got, no throttle, 2nd kick just Crack the throttle at the bottom of your kick. It'll start every time... trike life
or tune your bike correctly and just kick it.
It's a honda 350x here, not your average tricked-claped out coolster were talking about
@@eugenejankowski9977 and? every motor has the capabilities to run like every other motor. I have a honda 200x that was built to race by the lead honda technician in '85 that starts first kick every time cold or hot. along with a slew of other bikes. none of this priming crap, adjust valves and jet the carb and any bike is going to start first kick.
I have a 350 x punched out to a 410, roost boost for the coil. 38mm tuned keiln carb. You know how I start it........ re read what I said, starts every time. I seriously can't believed you compared a 350 to a 200... the only comparison is the looks.
@@eugenejankowski9977 I have 450s and 400s too but you were all about this "old honda" and that's how you have to start it. so I compared it to *my* old honda.
Hell ya brother good video as always !
Great looking 350. Can’t wait to see the race with the 400 ex
Not try to sound like a jerk. but you need to lean more to ride a 3 wheeler like 350x. hang your weight off the sides of th gas tank watch how it turns then. Turns easier in dirt with rear tirs spinning
Some 20inch tires and wheels spacers help alot too
I went everywhere with mine back then ...The 350X was a beast , such a great bike I loved riding trikes.
absolutely my dad raced three of these they were the best of all the three wheelers this type hit it hard let off andset your back on the ground ride a lump lump.lump idling wheelie just walk next to it he was amazing on these bikes
@@kerrymunson7729 So true , I road wheelies on mine like that down the beach for miles . I was only around 13 when I started riding mine , it was super controllable. Also because of my weight that thing flew , I could just about go anywhere I wanted.
Trail riding is where they shine the most . ..If person knows how to ride them you can waste quads on tight trails , the turn radius is awesome.
The only issue I had with mine was compression ....Kicking that beast was hard at first but , once you knew where the sweat spot was it was easy.
IMHO it's one of the best 4 stroke bikes ever made .
agreed the motors were stong they were geared to haul ass anywhere sanddunes tight corners streets enduro mountains river and beach runs my dads he had three of them we rode the shit out of two of them.still ran like champs he went off a 60 sanddune backwards i was down in the pit under him with a polaroid snapped a great shot.he has kept in hos wallet ever since god that was probably close.to 30 years ago he bent tje hell.out of it but landed clean on the next dune it was epic he was nuts his wife outlawed the two.of us from riding together for good he jist recently got rid of all 6 of his wheelers hes remarried and happy and really wants two.of them.back but knows their long gone we rode did a run whacha brung ive taken champ 3 times on my bigdog him first time.dragging a street bike has my dead uncle terrys grandpas rocking chair uncle a gear head had a harley shop long time got sick of the bs with people and such bought a brand new bandit 1200 suzi put about 10gs intk this brand new bike the pipe the injectors the throttle bodies the cams valves cylinders pistons cpu remap corbin seat bars blinkers mirrors trick skid pegs fairimg protectors he was a haddcore sandrail drag guy so his taste in it throwing you around like a ragdoll.tied to the bars was epic he had a black buick manta or and opel the mini stingray he put a 350 wildcat motor amd trans in it looked factory his herie beetle did wheelies down the main roads ,lol his bike was nothing short of jumping into the cockpit of an f14 and cracking tje soumd barrier one wheel this thing was scary at 170.still.gear and throttle to.go one wheel got back.on tje freeway from bend oregon to astoria oregon as i jad just sold it to a guy that jist couldnt help himself tjat onramp is a bridge over pass you turn left to get onto its straight as an arrow and is lile 5 blocks long hit that bitch at the top as soon as i had it straight stood it up powerband jist screamed at 14gs banging gears tjis fucker jist kept.climbimg amd fast i was shakimg.by the time i set it back.down good mile.or more upright on the i 84 tk.portland it wasmt heavy traffic but portalnd drivers are nuts my dad and i spent the entire weekemd drag racing up.in.idaho and he went alternate toe i did three runs let her cool.he run three we dominated the entire weekend this way hes an accomplished rider but only had the bike a month it wasnt running right.and he was due for a hip replacent the next monday so was kicking his own ass but learned to launch this thing being 180 and 5 10 not flip it over dropping tje clutch you didnt need tk.feather it to stand it up just crack.it hard any gear it was up.and trying to go over on ya he wouldnt touch front tire till about half track he wasnt even aware he wss ! we got next to each other flag girl.drops.i get him.right.off the batt he.almost run me down at the end of the track 2 of 3 he got me last 2 inches somehow by an inch grrr 3rd i got him off the line and all the way down again last fucking inch he won out of some serious brass clankers twisted it past full somehow held it somewhat down and blew my perfect record up rhere for good but went to a great man man that bike was something else unreal i think terry was riding with him cuz tje next day up.at his house hee stopped had new wifeyon back amd she twitched withbhos hip it went down she wemt withnit so it came to me to detail.polish paint up the marks from tjat drop.tune it it had an intake boot leaking cutting outnnumber three badly i had togo light that fire once more before i posted it for sale it was nasty fast
He said Do wheelies! haha
nice! Never knew you had one .... super cool! watching now for the first time even though this is an old video :)
If it were me i would keep this one and just replace it one part and piece of plastic at a time...You will regret selling it as the 350x is a special machine. Its was the pinnacle of what Honda was doing in the mid 80s....I am a total gear head so i would compare these to the big block cars of the late 60s and early 70s They only made these in 85 and 86 i believe so anyone who has one still is holding on to it as its the perfect combination of reliability with the four stroke, great looking machine and one of the quickest of its day....oh ya and i am a Yamaha guy too but a great machine is a great machine
Well done!
that’s a cool machine, Dude. I cut my 3-wheeler teeth on a buddy’s Honda ‘Big Red’ ATC200 on riverside trails back in the ‘80s, but never got the 350 experience. she seems fast to my Eyes & Ear Meter and also seems like she’d do anyone well on a long (hopefully flat) trail ride with all those gears. the trouble with 3-wheelers starts with uneven terrain…add high speed to that & get ready to be bucked off for a high-side slam. there was nothing wrong with ATCs; it was operator errors that did them in, IMO
we bought a replacement of of amazon for a 200x 3wheeler and it would not work so we drilled the rivets out then tapped it and put the o ring into it screw ed the plate back on and it worked
"Uh-oh. Chuck touched it and it broke!" HAHAHA!!!!
Keep it👍! Hard to Find
These old honda's just never die, ive had multiple 200m's and es's, they only ever jump timing every now and then, maybe foul out a plug or two from wheelies.
Awesome video man, she does rip
Hi great vid . You should let some air out of the rear tires way over inflated and ad some wheel spacers will make a huge difference . Ive owned two of these great machines
Sweet! I've been wanting a 350X for years, I bid 2500 on an nice 86. And got it two days ago. What a beast!!
It gave you some trouble but was no challenge lol awesome video and repair my Friend and be safe :)
Such a classic machine man. Beauty 👌🏼
I’d keep this one and slowly restore her back to mint
It's sounds great. Good job. 👍
Awesome haven't owned a 350X yet but I have a few other different ones
I enjoy watching your videos. A couple comments on this one. I am not sure but it looks like the chain is too tight, this can really mess up the drivetrain and suspension. But again I am not totally sure. Also it looks like you are adjusting the idle at the throttle grip? That should be done at the carburetor, maybe you know that and we're just improvising temporarily. I have an XR400R and love it, fairly similar to this ATC. Again a good video, just trying to help, keep the good content coming. Thank you
Go up on main jet since that exhaust is opened up. It's running lean.
Yeah that's a good idea
@@2vintage you should keep this since they are rare and yours is in decent condition
I love the header pipe on that machine!
Those things go great in a straight line 😊
Sounds badass bro
That’s a keeper!! Nice 👍
The ATC 250R was the king and still is.
Would love to see u do a full rebuild on this man it would be so worth it
👏Great Sound! Tippy? Don't think anyone makes a 3-wheeler anymore. Oh to be young, no helmets, no pads, new fashion statement, biker boots and shorts
I have a feeling this is a keeper! Never sell this! Cool toy man, enjoy it👍👍👍 Wish I had one
I've got two, I don't ever plan on selling them.
Or sell it to someone who won't kill it. Fun to have but most kids will never get to ride one:(
Honda 350x is one of my dream trikes.
May I give you a suggestion make a gas bottle i v so you don't have to constantly have to dump gas in a fuel line
I keep an old lawn mower tank just for that.
that sounds good
Love your work man, I really need to get some proper cameras & kick my channel off fr instead of just uploading small clips.
My buddy had one of these in the early 90s. We rode the pee out of it! Amazing bikes, so much fun!
Man that bike sounds bad ass !
I know this Bike well , it was my main bike as a teen in 88 . You could ride wheelies down the beach for miles on that thing. Three wheelers were way easier to ride for me than quads were esp on trails .
You should bore this thing out and make it a monster
Hands down the best three wheeler ever made along side with the 250r once you get it diled in you wont be able to keep the front wheel of the ground you def got a rare find.
ahhhh, the Honda Widowmaker
That'll be a keeper for me 💯
Yep the steering on those are not that bad really but they are deff slide as turn type bike and as ya said they are very fast and tourquey and just lean hard in corners and you see a big difference in your steering and never put your leg down lmfao I did once ..what a mistake lol
Fkn rad bro
You can engine break with that
Man those new plates are way better, looks to be barnett plates like i put in my rm125!
You could’ve used those new ones!
Restore series on her then keep her very rare another great find and video 👍
Great video as always glad to see you got this beast up and running! Back in the day the 200 X and 350 X were the baddest toys to have brings back a lot of great memories ! keep up the great work sir👍🏼🤩
Take the carb off, turn it upside down and blow through the petrol intake.
Easy way of checking if your needle/needle seat is successfully blocking the intake of petrol.
That thing is sweet !
I love my 350X. Need to fire that sucker up. Been sitting for 4 months while I've been recovering from knee surgery.
Faster then the 400ex. Best 3 wheeler ever made.
my cousin had one when we were kids thing was a monster nobody would ride it but him it would wheelie all day
You guys are Hilarious!!!! How old are you guys ? Because I'm 58 and was riding at Pismo Dunes between 1984 -1991 and I'm here to tell you , the 350 X was not the King !!! Ever!!!! The 250R's were along with theTriZ and the Kawi Tecate 3 wheeler . Saw a guy with a stroked 350X " 5,500" in engine work , continually get beat by a piped and jetted 250R on Comp Hill probably 5 runs in a row , and on the last run the stroked 350X blew up!!!! Yup !!! He was so passed off that he tried to start a fight with the kid on the 250R . 350X was a fun bike , and great for trail trail or mountain riding , but all out getting it they just couldn't compete with the250 two strokes , and they weigh more too .
@@gd6349I’m 53 and ran the 350x for 15 years or so in every scenario possible, including racing, riding in the winter etc, but when it came to flat out track racing or even drag racing for that matter, correct, the 250R, Tri-Z and Tecate were superior.
A set of flat tracks will make a world of difference it allows you to slid it instead of turning it .they are awsome tho I miss mine a lot
True but a pair of true flat tracks absolutely kill your top end, drastically, and the top end of every gear for that matter.
Your neighbors must love you
What caused that part of the clutch to wear like that? Hold on to that trike man they are becoming very rare.
Must have been installed wrong at some point previous to me owning it.
When you check the oil with the dipstick, I was always told to screw it in. I was wrong??
Yep, just dip it.
@@mixxedboyybuilds8273 yeah I just checked the manual on my cb600f. No screwing. Fuck 😂
It won’t hurt either way cause it will only be a little much or little less it won’t “damage the bike” but obviously it’s good to have it spot on
My cousin had one they were a beast to handle. Get rid of those balloon tires in the back it will be bad ass bud. Good job bud restore it is a great three wheeler and worth it.
sounds awesome should get good money for that
friggen sweet i want one.
In highschool shop class I put a modified xr500 engine in my 83 atc185s. I could ride wheelies 80 mph.
If you take some of the air out of the tires so that they are really soft (around 4-6 psi) you will find that the vehicle will perform way better. It will make it much better to turn and handle much better overall. And if you don't have an air cleaner you won't get the right fuel to come into your carb. the filter creates a much stronger suction from the tank which provides a better flow. Your idle should also be really slow and steady.
I grew up on the 3 wheels. would love to ride a 350x. I find riding the 4 wheelers very strange.
I learned on an ATC at a young age and you learn leaning very quickly if you want to corner fast. Def want to have bald tires in the rear to practice this or smaller diameter. Taller tires and it gets tough.
Low profile racing tires on the back are the best way to go vs bald tires
Try replacing the black cdi box next to the air filter. They like to mess up. You can find them on Amazon for a good price.
Get some 1inch wheel spacers and some 20 inch tires. Will help alot with handling.
Part 3 Ou Yeah Man
Needs a good sized Honda decal for the tank
Let some air out of them tires before you take it for a serious ride I’m sure you have that much in just so it’s easier to move around working on it
Hey if you find a good front brake I'd love to know what you went with. Currently looking to repair mine or replace it with something aftermarket
By doing 1 second wheelies, all your doing is stretching your drive chain, cam chain, and putting stress on all the moving engine parts. Learn to wheelie properly, get the bike up to the balance point and keep it there.
Lol why
@@dylanbenker734 because he says he can do wheelies, when what he is doing is not a wheelie. 😂
He's too scared and has no riding skills.
i saw ones a guy who swap motocross fork in front & rear and put these kinda wheels in front & rear C-12 2.50-10'' 33J TT
You should get the chrome DG pipe for that it sounds good on those 350X bikes
I’m not sure why you would buy a new clutch and use old plates. I would have saved the old ones for back-ups and used the whole new pack.
