Picked up a relatively clean 85 250R on Friday. It has some goodies and some issues. I can't get it to idle. Haven't changed jetting yet. Has an 86 flat slide carb. Clutch issue, won't dissengage when the cluth lever is pulled. Really easy to pull. The clutch arm moves. Has to be the arm itself or somethin in the basket. Haven't pulled it apart yet. Pretty stoke about this trike. Can't wait till ice!!!

86 should be a flat side carb, Sounds like your clutch plates are dry and stuck together. Take the plates out separate them and re-oil then re-install. New clutch springs wouldn't hurt.

Great find. Looks solid with minimal mods.

As far as the clutch not disengaging, check in between the basket and the clutch hub to see if their is a thrush washer installed. Sounds like the basket and the clutch hub are stuck together.

Pretty sweet. Clean the carb and gas tank out if you haven't already. They were both nasty on my 250R from sitting. How much did you give for it? I'm trying to get an idea what mine is worth. I saw this one on CL and what he was asking for it

I meant to say flat slide, d'oh. I here this is the better of the stock carbs. Just got the R in the basement, I'll have to get them plates out and looked over.Originally Posted by 250RNUT
Rob, I gave $900 for it. Got him to that price on the phone.

Nice machine. Love the look of it. The price was even better. Man that is $2000 here for sure. 86 headlight aswell. Sure she's not an 86? Is the brake light mounts welded on. If they are it's an 85 frame.

There is no tail lite atall. No mount or nuthin. So I guess it's reallyt an '86? I tried to run the vin, came up as an un-reconisable Honda atc vin. I changed to 0's to o's and same thing. Makes with the '86 style flat slide carb. I dunno. Yet.

All that really matters for the VIN is the 10th digit. If it's F it's an 85, if it's G it's an 86

10th digit is F so I assume it's an '85?

It is an 85 frame, the rear gas tank mounts on the frame tell what year it is (fourth pic..left of the rubber wire looms). It has a square cover over the mounts if you will.......The rest of the parts carbs, etc could easily have been changed in the last 20 years.
