Harry, send me your mailing address and I'll drop the instructions in the mail. I have that inverter pigtail somewhere ad I'll shoot you a pic when I find it.

I believe the difference between the 85 and 86 kit was a wiring change if my memory serves me correctly.

The part numbers for the ring gear and the starter motor are all the same for the 111 kits for both years.

any chance that anyone glancing at this thread has a goki ring gear for 81-84 250R? or other parts for the 81-84R kit? i have the side cover and starter, but thats it.

Thanks Bob, adds another variable to installation. To understand your statement, due to the construction of the '86 flywheel the ring gear is positioned further along the crankshaft tapper closer to crankcase. This would then make the gear tooth pitch centerline engagement shallow, just catching the tips.

Correct. I bought my kit off ebay, it said it was for a '85. I wanted to put it on an '86. So I got in touch with Goki to find out what I had to do to make it work. They had their "ATC" specialist call me back. He said the only thing different in the kit was the flange mounting flange on the starter motor, and if I had the wrong flange they would send me the other one in trade for free. BUT, he also told me that some of the early '86 350x's had the same flywheel distance as the '85. So he had me install the kit, remove the spark plug, "blue off" the gears, just like you would when setting up a rear end on a car, and run the starter for a few seconds. He told me that the teeth should have al least 75 percent engagement. If any less, I have the wrong flange. If any more it would likely not engage at all and bind up. This is one of the reasons that there is so much ring gear failure on these things. The starter is either skipping across the top of the gears or it's bound up and just ing them. Regardless of what kit or what year the trike has, it needs to be checked to make sure the gear engagement is correct.

By the way, as it turned out, my trike is running the '85 kit on a '86 350x. The ring gear is holding up, but my starter shaft snapped. I believe I accidently hit the starter button when bouncing through some rocks.

Well crap that really sucks. The kit we bought is in good working order, but I was hoping/counting on them being there for any hiccups down the line. I would have bought a spare starter had I known this was coming. Might email them, and ask if they have any spare parts lying around they would come off of.

[HairyJR]

Bob, that's exactly what I thought. Will check tooth engagement during installation.

shitty response even if the business is closed...
