![]() ![]() I will try rto post the rest of the setting later. A custom frame would never be exactly like stock, but who cares.I have a manual and just reassebled my 350x but it is at camp but I can post later tonight if nobody else does.I could go by memory if I had one To time it correctly you should first,bring piston to top dead center (tdc) Do this by lining up the (T) mark on the flywheel in the small window on the left side case.Now insert your cam (lobes down!) followed by the cam sprocket with the bolt hole with the small mark next to it up(it looks simillar to a mark left by a center punch) This can be very tight so take your time and don't worry if it is.insert the bolt and tighten then rotate the motor until the other bolt hole comes around and insert cam sprocket bolt 2.( I think it is 12lb tg)After that check the back side of the cam sprocket to see if there is a straight line on each side at 9 oclock and 3 oclock and check your timing window again to make sure eveything is lined up.At this point it might be a good idea to grab the front of the motor and try to slowly turn it over while looking down in the motor to see if the piston clears the valves.If everything looks good the timing should be set correctly, if you hear alot of noise coming from the top of the motor it is just the cam chain, the noise will disappear when you install the cam chain tensioner. And when I say mild steel, I'm talking DOM of course. Thick wall mild steel or chromoly would be way more forgiving. So it's a real tightrope walk for the guys who repair and reinforce these frames. And the stock frames are so thin, I'm sure dirtcrasher practiced on a trashed frame or 2 to get the welds just right so there wouldn't be any burn through which I'm sure happened during practice welding on an old crappy frame. And if you wanted to go really crazy, chromoly. It would be a whole lot stronger than stock. Makes me want to have a custom frame for the 350x built in at least mild steel. I can see why people are building machines ike the TPC450 and another 450 frame at HRE. If you would see how some of the Tigers are put together it's pretty amazing. I've seen some old race machines with not much better. I've seem some newer quads and bikes that have total crap frames. Some of thier newer machines are beefiier and some are not. Honda was known for stamped steel frames and thin tubing and such. ![]() I don't think honda or many makers, think about their machines lasting 20 years or more. They could have used thicker material, but it's more a cost factor. The honda frames are pretty thin, which I really think is the biggest culprit. 5.0 out of 5 stars based on 8 product ratings (8) 95.

It allows a little flexing and it's easy to do - you just need to make sure the metal is really clean (same as all welding) and you don't overheat the weld and make the nickel bronze boil. When you repair your trike frame it might help to use nickel bronze. Frequently in heavy collisions the tubes bend but the joints don't break. These things are immensely strong, you almost never get a weld or braze break in normal use if the chassis is designed right. Both in mild steel using nickel bronze welding and Reynolds HT tubing using TIG welding. I have built quite a few race car chassis in tubular steel.

Basically no pre-heating takes place and cooling occurs too rapidly. It looks really average and MIG welding needs to be very carefully controlled to prevent embrittlement of the parent metal. I am pretty sure part of the reason is because of the high volume MIG welding process. Man, why were these things so breakable? It seems like EVERY frame has some degree of cracking/breaks in it. ![]()
