Honda 350X Motor

[sweetip2000]

What is the easiest way to tell if the motor on a 350X is a 1985 or 1986 ?
Is there any dead give away that's easy to identify ?

VIN # should tell you. Post it up, or check it in one of the VIN decoders..

[sweetip2000]

from what he was reading over the phone it started with TE08E-510-
where are those VIN decoders you are talking about ?

On the motor, if the clutch pulls to the left, it's an '86... if it pulls forward, it's an '85

VIN decoders don't work on motor ID numbers

1985 = te08e-5000001~

1986 = te08e-5100001~

I already told you about the clutch cable bean head.......

The cam chain tensioner is long on the 86 also.

Those are visuals when they won't give you the VIN.

[sweetip2000]

Well I am lookin at the pic and I still cant tell if that clutch cable pulls L - R or F- R.
And dont ever call me a bean head again !! Call me tater head but never richard head.
LoL

I will try to sell my 200S on here first. If it doesn't sell it will go on craigslist.
I was gonna polish my nob but instead I polished the motor case.

[atc350xer]

that looks like an '86 motor

[kasey200x]

I agree, clutch appears to pull to the left. But its the red white and blue scheem right? Of 85?

Look at the clutch arm, it's at an extreme angle and going BEHIND the motor richard head :lol:

The 85 is a bit straighter and you'll see the cable right under the exhaust.........

There's a hole in that exhaust too spiffy.

If no one here pics up that 200S you have there NUTS!

[sweetip2000]

Thanks and please get the word out that I am selling my 200S so I can make a move and get back on a 350X again. I cant keep 2 ATC's here.

That is a nice 200S. How did you determine the time of 76 hours on it? Are the forks purple???
