    OK, is the 85 350X 5 speeds or WHAT??!!

    I don't see it in my manual and I just read yet another auction that claimed their 85 350X is a 5 speed. Are they 5 speeds or not? Or are they the same 6 speed motor as the 86 350X aside from the stator/flywheel, the cam chain adjuster and the clutch cable routing?? I can't think of any other differences.....

    I'm confused.....VERY confused

    I need some 85 owners here..... I have seen countless people claim that there 85 is a 6 speed. The only external way I can tell an 86 from an 85 is the cam chain adjuster which protrudes from the head quite a bit longer.


    Hey Mr Jcraig.. you get that dam kicker in yet? Take a road trip up here and I'll hook ya up... I saw you looking at another motor in classifieds, you better not give up that easy!!

    EDIT - maybe SOME 85's were a 6 speed, maybe it was when they were made in 1985?? If that is the case, I wonder if they got the cam adj. upgrade too??

    look at the honda brochure at the 3 wheeler world page. It tells all right there. i have the 85 cam tensioner lifter in mine but the 86 will work just the same.
