Two things that will keep you from winning races. One you push the shift lever under the case with your foot so you can't shift. The fix is to weld a washer on the top so it won't go under the case, simple fix. Next your seat falls off. It's real easy when racing for your seat latch to move around and un-latch it's self. I seen this at the first 3 wheeler race at Bedford proving grounds I went to last year. The racer was gaining on the leader and his seat popped off. Try riding the last few laps of MX with out a seat! Simple fix, two long bolts stuck down through the seat nubs and welded on to extend down below the rubber seat grommet with two wing nuts drilled to hold a spring and it won't happen again.

I think it was a stock Mojave 250 axle washer to hold on their rubber hub cap if you will.

Better buy one d*** good decompression cable. My 425 is a pain to kick over, and I'm nowhere near that high of compression.

I have built 13:1 530's and as long as you understand how to kick them they start easy, but every once in a while they will bite you!

Yeah as long as you let the kick start roll completely back off the decompression than it is a breeze.

Well it took 30 years to build the first 350x short coarse gas tank nick name the 350rx tank.
In the old day you went into the first corner wide open and pitched in, but just because I built it, will he use it? The question is, will "Ditch Pitch it" !!!!!!!!?

I'm not to late am I?
I love where this is going, just read through the last few pages.
I've never owned a 350x, but let me through some ideas out there. <-- makes me sound credible right? :-D
As for weight reduction, has anyone attempted an aluminum frame? I know Yamaha switched some dirt bikes over in recent years. With the correct engineering, i don't see it being to much of a problem. There would be some inherent flexing I'm sure.
Aftermarket swing arms for other machines have been tubular, they look like they would weigh less.
Everything else i'm thinking off wouldn't contribute much weight individually, but may add up. The list is to large to start and I'm sure it doesn't need to be stated.
I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!

That's the coolest 350 tank I've ever seen! Can't wait to see the bike together! Good work as usual Mickey!
