Interestingly, it was also the only Honda ATC that was not equipped with the Pro-Link rear suspension found on its siblings – a requisite back in the day for Honda racing bikes. Everything else about the machine remained untouched. The only notable changes to the wheeler are the increase in carb size (from 31 to 32 mm) and the oil pump upgrade. Often compared to the ATC250R, this Honda ATC received little to no improvements during its short-lived production run. Consequently, Honda did not have the opportunity to further develop the machine, as the industry shifted its direction towards four-wheelers. Due to the 1988 Consent Decree (or ATC ban), it only lasted in the market for two years before its demise. However, it turned out to be more of a sport machine than a racer. Honda engineers had racing in mind during the design process of the trike. Introduced in 1985, the Honda 350X launched during the height of the ATC craze, alongside other revolutionary machines – and had a lot of promise. The Honda 350X ATC is 9th in the line of all-terrain cycles and the 3rd generation of Big Reds released by Japanese manufacturer Honda. But if you are not quite convinced, this guide will enlighten you on the huge influence this three-wheeler had on present-day utility vehicles. Savvy aficionados would undoubtedly agree. Despite its inability to execute fancy stunts and jumps and its need for body English to unleash its potential, the 350X was a standout, nonetheless. But no period is too short for something as great as this bike. The Honda 350X was only in the off-roading limelight for two years.
#Honda atc 350x backfire and stall series#
It was the penultimate installment to the legendary Big Red series – a lineup of performance-built trikes designed for aggressive trails and racetracks.
Produced from 1985 to 1986, the Honda 350X ATC (Big Red 350) featured crisp brakes, grippy tires, and a powerful 350-cc mid-range motor. Given its racing lineage and prestige, it would be fascinating to know what this reputable vehicle has to offer.
This head-turner is not only a serious trail machine but also included in the illustrious Big Red bikes – a part of Honda’s sport ATC lineup that began in the ‘70s.

It there a needle and jetting that works well in this scenario? Any advice on this would be great!!! Am I headed in the right directly choosing this exhaust? I'm tired of purple chrome.I'll stick with matte black steel from now on. I would like to put another DG Exhaust back on.to be exact: DG Exhaust "RCM Steel Exhaust - Black" part number: 04-2112. I would like to solve this before 2014 Trikefest. The throttle response and low end was SO AWESOME when I had that DG Pipe on there.now that I have the OEM back on.I'm the guy who went from cable internet back to dial up.this is no way to live. So I stashed that in a box and stored it for scrap or selling to someone for parts and now I am back to the stock OEM exhaust. They also told me that there was a pin size hole in the weld on one of the two header pipes. Makes sense to me and they told me it would take them a long time to experiment and get it correct. They informed me that you can't just buy a jet pack for a '85 Honda atc 350x. I took it to a local Honda dealership who looked it over and informed me I did no further damage except to the pipe chrome because its single walled etc. I parked it in one of my garage bays and then started staring at the exhaust head as it turned from Chrome to purple.aI'm pretty sure the jetting needed changed and other things to. This is where the skid mark began.Rode it around my warehouse back lot for about 5 minutes.THANK GOD! Stopped because whenever I would give it a quick throttle punch it would follow up with a loud backfire. Took the OEM exhaust off and boxed it and purchased two new exhaust gaskets and installed them along with the new DG exhaust. I got the "Krome Power RCM Complete Exhaust - Chrome" part number: 26-2112. Hopefully I get some laughs and some good advice from this.Sure did take a nice hit in my wallet for this tragedy!! I decided to buy a new DG Exhaust for my 1985 Honda ATC 350X.
