complete kit, used with battery box
sit down........
for $2,000.00

[oldskool83]

take a 300ex motor, fly cut cylinder base .015" do up the head with nice porting and 5 angle valve job and good cam, 400ex carb and your are or more then 350x. plus e strart. no sense spending more money on obsolete parts. the mods I listed your at $500...so buy a 300ex rob it of its parts sell off everything else get the stuff for pennys.

funny you mention your knee, my new to me 350x killed my knee last weekend, talked to a guy last night, he just sold his 350x last week because it killed his knee. jim

The battery box and maybe even the original instructions too !.

Fly cut the 350x cylinder or the 300? I would assume the 350 cylinder to keep a 350¿
Is there a thread on this modification?

Wow! holy smokes, ive been out of the loop for a while

I almost sold my 350x, I could not kick it more than a few times before my foot would start hurting.
Turns out, the decompression system was WAY out of adjustment, I was kicking a 10.5 350x at full compression.
Never working on this system I wasn't sure what was correct or not.
Once I started messing with the adjustment, it now takes a fraction of the effort, not e-start but not worth selling over.

Yiu cant mix 350x motir parts in 300ex. Fly cut the 300 cylinder. It just rises compression rsther than putting a heavy machined piston on a oem rod. More reliable when things are light than heavy. The porting and cam help.

[BOB MARLIN]

My 250r kicks way harder than any of my 350x's. And all my x's have high compression pistons.
Make sure you are getting the piston just past the compression point before you kick it.
That makes all the difference in the world.

The decomp system is there just to achieve just that. It releases the compression so you can slowly get the piston in the right position before you give it a good kick.

Be sure your decompression cable is adjusted properly. My 350 was near impossible to start and kicked real hard when I first got it because the decomp cable was broke. Hurt my knee a few times. After I fixed it and adjusted it properly I could start it with slippers on.

i dont ride mine very much anymore either. maybe 2-3 times in the last 5 years kills my knee and bottom of my foot i guess im just getting old to im 42 and used to ride all the time now i find my self using my ranger or my fl 350 oddesey its way easier but not as fun and i have a ton of trikes but they just sit anymore mainly conversation pieces now lol

Is the 300EX engine a direct bolt-in?

I was told I can have a complete 300EX yesterday. Running, but case damage from a thrown chain. It will likely need a total rebuild, because previous owners may have run it low on oil from not paying attention to the level with the case damage.

I'm 49 and my right knee isn't the best anymore (to say the least). My 350X has never had the decomp hooked up or even had a cable. It has a stock compression piston. As long as the valves are properly adjusted, it's not terrible to kick over. I'll also add that I NEVER ride it without wearing MX boots. The last time I tried it in a pair of work boots, it kicked back and I honestly thought that it broke my ankle. Of course with the valves adjusted right, it seldom kicks back.

[TSpencer]

The only time I ever had mine kick back was if I was giving it a bit of throttle. With my thumb of the throttle and the decomp working I never had a tough time. And I'm 50. Just make sure you're taking up any slack and getting a good kick from TDC .
