      It's funny how in the video, to me at least, it just feels slower than it actually was. You feel like you're flying. I was hoping I might see 70 out of it... but 65 can hurt you plenty quick if something goes south...

    Awesome ride besides the cold. I feel colder watching this video in my warm house. A buddy and myself really enjoy watching your videos and notify each other when u put a new one. Thanks for all the honda 3 wheeler history. Hope to see you at trikefest.

      Man, I really appreciate hearing that. It's been a very fun experience making these videos and all the feedback is 99% positive. And hearing that guys are out there sharing with each other about when I post a new one... that's just so awesome.
      So, question for you guys... what sort of videos do you enjoy seeing... which ones don't you care about... what do you want to see more of??

      @@ThisOldTrike We enjoy all of them. Have watched many of them multiple times just to learn the differences between the years. My buddy doesnt even have a 3 wheeler but still enjoys them. My 12 yr old son and i were trying to iron out the jetting on my 85R this past weekend. I took the seat/rear fender off and he says “hey did you know these are maier fenders”. I knew exactly where he learned that from.

    I had a 350x until I sold it in 2013, I had bought it new. Some of the best riding was on frozen rivers In Wisconsin. Nothing like carving the turns in the river and shooting up the banks to go around fallen trees. Bad knees made me sell it to a friend, I tried riding two years ago and I could no longer bend my left knee enough to shift it. Next year I will have that knee replaced, then they will both be done. after rehab I will see if my buddy will let me try to take it for spin.

    Well, that brought back memories, for I owned a 1985 350X for a decade and sold it in the mid 90's. When it was new, we clocked it on pavement at 73 mph, but after break-in and a couple of months, it would run 75-76 mph with high inflated tires. Granted, I was only 160# then, but wow, would that machine run for a trike. I was a dirt and street bike guy, but living in the rural countryside, I rode the X far more often than my bikes and traveled untold thousands of miles. The best summer I ever spent was in my late 20's and with several friends riding ATV's in 1986 and with the 350 X. For that summer, we rode 3-4 days a week exploring several counties, forests, lakes, trails, country roads, etc.
    Thanks for the flash back memories and the sound of the X again in my ears.

    I had a 86 200x about 15 years ago and if i recall it never needed the choke. Did not matter how cold it was, that thing started like it was ready to go everytime. Did a top speed run with a buddy and it got up to 60mph. Love watching people enjoy the old stuff. I’ll have another 86 200x one of these days.

    I absolutely feel in love with the first 350x I ever rode. I was 14 my friend and I both had yamaha 225 dxs I thought they were pretty fast until I rode an 86 350x I was hooked. I eventually got an 85 200x which I still have to this day which was still a major step up from the 225 I always dreamed of owning a 350x but am still yet to aquire one

      Thank you very much man! You may benefit from putting a 400EX carburetor on that. They have an accelerator pump that allows you to shoot a little gas into the cylinder before starting to kick so it does help with the cold starting. I just did a video on that.

I saw one for sale a few years ago but for some really grown up reason I thought I better not buy it. I’ve been hopping it come back up for sale. I won’t miss out twice.

    needle valve in the carburetor is probably leaking very slowly. That is why the spark plug was so black.

    I drain the carb on my stuff before I try to start it after the sit all winter, gas isn't what it use to be. When I was at the dealership a klr650 would kill the battery and not start after a month unless I drained the carb.

    1984 200x, DG exhaust, 28mm flat slide, 10.25:1 comp, ported head, 13/40 gearing, 20" tires, I can go 53mph in 800 feet. Wondering what it can do on a long stretch but its just about done accelerating. I know it helps that you have a 2nd gen with the 6 speed, vs my 5 speed. That's more than 10mph faster than mine though and that's pretty fast for a trike!

    My cousin had an 85 350x we restored. I remember it being as fast as my stock 400ex with alot more top end power. Try an 04-05 trx 450r carb on it..

    • @ThisOldTrike
      @ThisOldTrike  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My 350X has a 400EX carb on it. I'm not really looking to to go faster or do any further mods on this machine. I've got other options if I want to go fast.... I might consider dropping a tooth on the rear sprocket one of these days.

  • @hondaatcsavage4263

      There's a follow up video to this one where I mess with the sprocket sizes and squeak 71 out of it. I think that's maxed out for this set up. I'm going to get a new headpipe for it to let it breath a little more and see if that has any impact on it. Stay tuned!
