Very excited for this episode. I wanted on of these so badly in the 80's I was in HS in 1985 and had a poster of an Odyssey in the desert, right next to my Heather Locklear poster :)
Same here in the 80's I think they were about 5K
On the master cylinder you pull the levers back not push them down. They will operate independently. Can’t wait for the drive video!! Always wanted one
That brake master cylinder is actually designed to pull. The arms act as 2 independent fulcrum on the same pivot point. When you squeeze the brake levers, they pull one side and the opposite side depresses the plunger. That's why they don't push down. Keep up the good work.
Can't wait to hear the exhaust note on that DG pipe.
Dude, this is awesome. Make sure to use the steering wheel straps so you don't break your arms. Thanks for the great content.
Agreed.. USE them.. when those roll (and they do) peoples first reaction is to try and stop the roll with your hands. Bad idea. Strap in and hang on till it stops!
A dealership owner I worked for broke both his arms in one of these surgery traps.... these things were a pain to work on as well.
@@kelownadug I had both an FL250 and 350 back in the 90's always wear those loops, and a kidney belt cause your back takes a beating. Also buy an extra 2 gas cans. cause they eat fuel quick and everyone wants to drive them.
so need 1 of these lol. 😊 keep the videos going. the last 1 looked so much like an fs1e, but taller lol
Years ago a friend had one and some girl kept saying I don’t need those dumb straps… 😂😂😂😂 you Know what happened 😂😂😂😂
Joe, it is a big project but if anyone can do it you can! Saving rare and vintage cycles and ATVs one at a time!
Haha thanks we will see! Definitely a big project!
Paint the frame and restore it!!!
Was very happy to hear you say you're getting the frame welded up. Definitely need the roll bar mounts at the patched up frame area.
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Can’t believe the guy was going to part it out. Looking forward to the first ride.
I drove one of those for a weekend in 1986 and it was probably the coolest thing out there at the time, and a blast to ride. I picked up another one around 2016 that was in pretty decent shape. I repaired everything that was wrong with it and then took it out for a ride.
Compared to the machines we have today it's really not that great 😆 Awesome vid!
That is awesome! They are cool machines! Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!

these are sweet. I am surprised you haven't had any on here. You need to find a Honda Pilot next. Those are the ones you want. I believe you can put a cr500 cylinder on them and make them a rocket. It is a shame this guy was going to part out such a cool machine. Why would he even bother. They are getting harder to find.
Because it’s worth twice as much in parts as it is whole and you also have to think, one gets parted out to save 5 or 10 with the parts.
@@martintaylor984 I could understand if it was junk. This one isn't junk. Thing fired right up and ran nice.
the pilots are cool liquid cooled but these are just as fun.
@@minibikemadman Yeah either one is cool. I really want a pilot. They are really pricey though.
@@rm25088 like I said worth twice as much in parts as it is whole
I got an 85 sitting in my back shed , I blew it up about 13 years ago ,and there it sets. Would love to rebuild it but time and money, actually saw a set of them for sale on market place in Potsdam ny for $7,000. One running and one for parts
Great find!! I don’t know why they stopped making those. Absolute blast to drive! I wish I kept mine and put it in storage for a few.
They are cool machines! Thank you for watching!
Honda, as well as the other motorcycle manufacturers were switching to liquid cooling, and was tooling up for the Odyssey's replacement, the Pilot.
They stopped making them because they were junk and constantly broken down.
Great video, and a learning moment. A Real RAW project, make it your own. 🐶Vinny taking inventory. The homemade rattletraps we had as kids, with old lawnmower/snowblower engines. Diddo the variety of vehicles you service is amazing
Thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed the video! I have a great time working on all of the machines! Vinnie definitely has thoughts on each machine that I bring home!
Very Very nice work bud! I had an earlier 80s 250 oddessy when I was a teenager. Loved it! Can't wait for part 2. Excellent video. U are amazing at what you do
I definitely hope to find a fixer-upper like this one day. Good bones for a buggy build rather than starting from scratch.
I used to think these were just about the coolest thing in the world when I was young. My neighbor had one but wouldn't let anyone ride it. Honestly, I'd still like to have one, but I've got enough tied up in rebuilding my old Rubicon. Gonna enjoy watching you bring this one back, though.
They are cool machines! Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it!
I can't express how cool this Channel. Is. You're the only Small Engine guy I'll watch just hanging around. Took a long time to get to where I can have a shop with a TV. But you're normally playing on it on repeat😂
Never miss an episode but I clicked on this at 🌩 speed soon as I saw it because I almost got one of these when I was 15 and passed on it. Even took it for a field ride but wanted a race quad more. I can definitely appreciate them more now almost 30 years later. Great find Joe!
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it! It is an awesome machine!
Very,quirky Joe,loving this variety u doing on the channel, its great stuff!👌👊💪🦾🦾🦾
I had the earlier version of that, the red one, bought it brand new! No rear suspension, barely any front suspension either, the CV clutch did not like water at all! We had so much fun on that machine, get someone standing on the back(do not attempt this at home) and ride wheelies forever! I worked construction and lived on a huge east coast egg farm as security and would use it for hauling things around the construction site. Between each coop was a swale to drain rain water from between the coops. One evening I was out “patrolling” and there was a crew of winos pulling old hens and I was showing off a little. Recent rains had deepened the swale and I stuffed the nose of that Odyssey into the far side of the swale, causing it to endo violently! I wasn’t wearing a helmet and wasn’t belted in! My head went out the top of the roll bar and slammed into the dirt just before the roll bar got there. I still suffer the affects of my stupidity thirty five years later!
Just bought a KTM adventure bike and now wear all the protection, every time!
You finding any mushrooms on your property, young fella? I picked 48 today!
I have two of these FL350s in great condition. They both run fine and are a blast to drive. You will have fun with this machine !!
Dude the 2 stroke sounds so good
There’s a couple for sale in Canada they are going for around 3500 in the same condition
Nice find Joe. The odyssey and pilot are pretty cool machines. The pilot came with radiator I believe because the odyssey had cooling issues. Good luck with the build
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Does anyone find it odd they called the Odyssey and Pilot much like the Honda vehicles today?
You don’t need to turn jumper leads on when using pump or lights . Awesome machine buddy good luck with it!
Saying yet at the end of a sentence for no reason must be a northern Yankee slang thing. Lol
its a joe thing . hes special type of person lol
@47:50 you can buy brake hardline, the fittings, line cutters, benders, and a flaring tool from O'reilly auto or various other auto parts stores to just make a new hard line for the rear brakes on it. Always wanted one of the Odysseys pretty cool looking karts, would be wild with an RD350/Banshee engine swap in it.🤙
Joe, you got a lot of interesting vids lately, some really cool stuff that we don't see very often, or ever. Loving it, keep it up :)
He is the Man to Beat in the Exotics small Engine Class Will it Run Dept. here of Late, I’m liking it Personally.
Thank you so much! That means so much! I appreciate you watching! I am glad that you enjoy the videos!
I can't believe that the previous owner was going to part out a machine as nice as this. They're generally so clapped out I can't believe what people ask for them in "one piece".
It's a shame Honda (or any other manufacturer, really) doesnt make anything like this. They should be preserved, not chopped apart and sold to the highest bidder. I'm glad you rescued this one.
Now this is a candidate for a ground up bare bones restoration, here in Australia the Fl350 was available for 3 years
So amazing!!!! These things are just awesome! Great vids!
A friend of mine bought I believe a first edition 250 Odessey basically in a box. Put it back together and had instant fun in the desert around Las Vegas. The frame was bent so bad the front wheel on one side didn't always touch the ground. Had a blast on that thing.
I'm so jealous right now. Always wanted a Pilot. Drooled over a magazine ad for one my whole childhood.
Those are awesome. I have had 2 fl250 and one fl350. I want a pilot so bad but don’t think I will ever bring myself to pay what they are bringing now.
Just the coolest thing ever! I've always wanted one of these. Sick machine! And that DG exhaust is Fn mint!!
The pilot was cooler
@@GratefulEd907 yeah. Pilot is cooler. Were those a 400?
@@dubiousf00d I had to google it but yeah a 400 I just remember they were all red. My oldest sister and her husband had one when I was a teen. It was a blast to ride the few times they let me. LOL.
sold mine almost 10 years ago wish i didnt these machines are a different kind of fun if you decide to keep it they are known for getting hot watch temps they sell liquid cooled top end kits still or at least a fan lol always wanted a 400 pilot but around me thats a 7-10 thousand dollar machine wish honda would do a rerelease or update these so much fun sxs are not the same odd atv for parts great guy
Those mounts that you thought were for the tail light are actually for the combo airbox / taillight housing. If you don't see that in your parts pile you will want to source one
Nice save Joe. She sounds good !!
had a friend that had 2 of these new and they are really fun to ride. As good of shape this is in, you'll have a really nice one with giving what it needs. Good score. I'm a honda fan anyway.
I dreamed about having one of these when they came out. They were so far ahead of the times then.
My father still has his it was so much fun growing up he only takes it out once a year
A guy in Illinois had 4 of these sitting in his yard for years but wouldn't sell them and they sat in the mud until the frame rusted to nothing on all of them.
Lol nice
Thats a good ride for you . AUTOMATIC so you wont be missing gears all the time .
My buddy had one of these in the 80’s it was a blast ! Brings back memories 👍😎
Glad this was saved. I remember these. What I heard was the free air cooled engine in the back had heat issues. I never understood why they did not go with a 500cc water cooled single.
This just came out at the wrong time. Today folks think nothing of dropping 15 large on a side by side sport. Back then we looked at the price of one and shook our heads. You could buy two ATCs or a couple quads for one of these. I’ve seen several of the 250s converted over to water cooled snowmobile engines.
Grew up until 12 on a horse Farm in Michigan. The kid down the street had one. For a 12 and 14 year old, I am shocked we are alive today after that beast.
When everyone thinks about Hondas motors they think 4 stroke but Honda made one of the first reliable 2 strokes in the world. Plus when the Elsinore 125 and 250 came out they became known as a ultra high performance 2 stroke manufacturer. I rode a Elsinore the first year they came out and I can remember my smiles it gave me!
Someone cross threaded 1 of my sparkplugs on my 250 and it popped out when riding
Mine was pull start
I have always wanted one of the Honda Odyssey’s.
One of my childhood dreams of owning this thing. Awesome video
That's a fun looking machine......A 2 Stroke 350 2......,Oh Yeah!
That is soo neat never knew there was such a thing 😃.
You kept pushing down on the master's cylinder levers. They would both work at the same time if you pulled up on one or the other
One of my cousins has had one sitting in a loft for 30+ years I’d love to get my hands on.
Had one and it was a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish I never sold it but I'm still rippin in a SBS. Thanks for doing your thing.
10:01 that’s the Bell Tone from ‘Red Right Hand’ by Nick Cave. you Peaky Blinders fans may’ve been piqued by this hit.
cool ride, Joe. they were fun & you had to wear a helmet, or you’d be concussed
Absolutely love these things super fun and really fast!!!! Can't wait to see first ride!
Always wanted one of those when I was a kid. Looks a heckuva lot better with the roll bar assembly and plastics re- installed. Sounds pretty darn good too. Hope it runs out as good as it sounds.
Cool to see all the old toys I always wanted as a kid be brought back to life.
This!
😮Was not knowing what he got into first. Now I’m interested now. Some interesting things to come I’m sure. Lot of parts and screws to figure out. How does he do that so well ? Excited to see that plastic repairs and welding. I’ll be following for sure .😊
I had a FL 250 for a while and its cool to see how it evolved into the 350. A lot of little similar things but def you have the big brother to it. Those pumps always needed primed on mine too.
I remember being a kid in 1982 riding RM125 and a second gen Odyssey was ripping around in the woods near Banff Canada (Bragg Creek) thought it was cool first time ever seeing one, but still kept riding Motocross bikes !!
They made alot of them for years but the 350 was just one year. They delayed releasing them. They even recalled a bunch. My wife was working at a Honda dealer then. Got to beat on a few brand new ones. The pilot was the smaller ones. Didn't impress me. Little rough riding. Seen a guy at the mud races beat one of the 350s to death. He flipped it a bunch of times. He bored it out and jetted it. Thing was crazy fast. He pretty much destroyed it. They was not cheap. Pretty pricey in my area.
My next door neighbors had one...the guy was a mechanical whiz, he bored it out and upped the hp, reworked the intake and exhaust....etc, it was a blast to drive..
It'll definitely start with the ignition cap on the spark plug! Haha, I've done that before. These were ahead of their time when I was a kid in the 80s. Just a smaller version of today's side by side.
Godfather to the polaris razors.
Always a good day when joe posts
Used to have one when I was a kid
A controlled wreck! The steering radius sucks but to make up for it all you do is punch it and drift. Great fun!
I had the one with the 250r motor. I would roll it on purpose such fun machine
Yup, 85 to 86. Some facts for those interested > All FL 350 r's were recalled because of over heating. Cylinder head was changed from straight finned heads to angular finned heads.
You will know this because the serial number ( located on the frame by the muffler) will have an X as the last digit. The engine is actually 330 cc's, just 350 sounded cooler. It puts out anywhere from 30 to 35 hp at 8400 rpm
Overheating also caused the piston to expand too much so the ring ends would catch the exhaust port and bye-bye motor.
GOOD LUCK those brakes and bleeding the. The issue is that the master cylinder is only SLIGHTLY higher than the front drum wheel cylinders(which are the same brakes for my TRX 250 Honda 4 wheeler..2WD)
Use a pressure bleeder that pushes brake fluid up to the master instead of pumping the handles. I bought a bleeder that pumps with one hand right from the brake fluid container...V something or other
Forget the great variety of aftermarket wheels. Douglas makes some aluminum ones, but rears are a weird 4x130mm size. Good luck. Fronts are ok. Was very expensive in 85/86
Check tie rod ends for slop..easy to get, bearings too. I have the same dent on the front bumper, most likely from a tree. Oem parts are getting scarce and pricey...Mant ODDY forums for those interested
Bought mine in 06 in Black River, NJ with an .020 over cylinder, put a 96c Comet clutch, Sigma jet kit, extra cooling air pipes,new starter,starts with a touch of a button.
I have this machine for those interested in Cornwall, Ontario. Nobody commenting is giving info about the bike, let alone how to fixiit based on your vid. also seen in 1 2 9 5 3 z i p
I love seeing more of these pop up hope u do a series rebuilding this beast they are awesome definitely gonna be a challenge finding parts but looks like it's mostly all there
Those things are cool. You should put a sport bike engine in it lol and beef up the rear end obviously. I would beef up front end as well if you put in a 600cc - 1000 cc sport bike engine in it.
Hey this thing won the Heaveyweights fat camp race at one point in its life. Iykyk 😂
Wow, a project, one many of us would have ran not walked away from. Good job, you adapt and overcame obstacles.
Thanks as always for such great uploads.
Regarding the OG Odyssey.
Approaching 40 years now with this...there was a facility in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada that rented these just like at a plain old asphalt rental go kart track but it was on a very dry and dusty track without googles! Needless to say it was wicked!
Used to dream about owning one of these as a kid. You are blessed.
These are one of the most fun factory machines you can find, they are so much fun and are so wild for what they are
I used to see a bunch of these at Silver lake in MI as a kid. Was always envious even though we had a pretty sweet sand rail for the dunes
dammit i always wanted one of these but they are hard as hell to find around me
Yeah same here.
Nice. Ive got two fl350s, one was converted to a two seater. Ive also got four fl250s. They are all a blast to ride
Pretty cool stuff right there man. I have a Pilot - 2 stroke big brother to yours. Theyre fun and comfy. Look cool as hell. Happy for you! I really am. Vintage Honda is second to none.
You need to open that pitcock and make sure that rubber inside there isn't disintegrated because every bike I worked on just take some matter years and that rubber is gonzo on most motorcycles it's around rubber with four holes and if it gets messed up it won't work right
me and a buddy bought a 250 oddessy back in our 20's, small town, took it to the gravel pits, had contests see who could do best rollovers, it lasted us one year but was it fun!
These were Very cool. Always wanted one ☺️
Nice find 👍👍
Drive it offa mountain like bubba in crusty demons
Videos keep getting better brother
I used to own two Honda Odysseys, loved them. They were a blast to drive.
The 350 was available in Canada for several years not just one year
I doubt anyone has mentioned this or even noticed it, but @22:00 you put your brake arms on backwards and on the wrong sides. The slot goes towards the driver and to the inside. The screws ALWAYS go through the non threaded hole first, then thread into the arms. How do you think it's going to clamp on the shaft the way you did it? And the master cylinder has cables that connect to it. They "pull". Cables don't "push". A restorer with ANY common sense would've first washed the vehicle and it's parts, addressed the broken and bent frame, painted it, and drained the stagnant fuel from the tank BEFORE they built the vehicle back up. NOW, you have to tear the whole thing apart again to do the needed repairs. One would think you'd know this after all these years of rebuilding bikes, ATV's, snowmobiles, etc, etc, etc.
I had one of those in the 80s. It was a 250. Lot of fun
I remember when those came out.. Everybody wanted one.Great video brother.keep up the good work.Its appreciated.its Never too old to have a new life.😎
im 53 and can remember riding many of these. They did ok till you got the belts wet... the one i really really wanted (and never could afford then) was the honda pilot off road buggy...
I thought I recognized this machine! These go karts were used in the 1995 movie Heavyweights.
You are living my dream. When these first came out I wanted one in the worst way. 40 years later it still looks like great fun. It is the genesis of the ATV craze. PS - Maybe you pull the levers on the master cylinder rather than push...it appears that would allow them to work independently...aren't they cable activated?
Nice. You really took a big gamble in a basket case. All in all great job so far....Pete
Killer! As an ATV guy & a Honda guy - These Odysseys are where it's at!
A decade or 2 ago, "Moses Mountain" in Maravia, NY used to have a fleet of them..
They 'rented time' for either horses or buggies. Of course I chose the buggies..
We'd ride em' like we stole em', and paid for it.. haha
[I still have scars on my spine from it rubbing the seats so bad] Still worth every second.
They Should have replaced em' with Honda Pilots, but nope.. They sat, rotted, and finally sold..
Hopefully whoever got them all put em' to use. They're way too much fun to let em' just sit.
Congrats on the find/buy, great job breathing some new life into yours, and Have Fun!
Cool Honda ! Most things that comes from Honda is quality .
Joe another awesome job!👍👍
The cables pull upward on that Master cyl ... they both will work individually... by the way.👍🏼😎
