Looks Good! Looks like there might be some shock upgrades there as well. If you don't mind I have a few questions from my odessy ignorance.I take it the original engine was not a Rotax.... Was it a single? How many CC?Is the gear/chain box we see in the rear the original for the machine? Are you running the original CVT?Anyone know a good source of info on these machines? I would like to read up. My Uncle had a yellow one when I was a kid, but I don't remember much.
As Bug said, it's a Honda Pilot fl400. My buddy, who had one, called it an 400 Odyssey, as it's the next model after the 350 Odyssey. This frame has a ATV Racing long travel kit added to it by a previous owner.The original engine was a 400cc two stroke single.It's the original Honda gearbox, with a custom input shaft to allow an Arctic Cat driven. The drive clutch is the stock SkiDoo TRA.
Thanks! Did you change it over from the honda motor to the Rotax? When you say custom shaft, does someone make a kit to do the motor changeover, or is it a one off deal? Now I see why bug was looking for more motor...... That pilot will probably whip the draks ass!Do you know the ratio in the Honda box? Is it a FNR or just reduction?
Yea, AtvNut and I installed it. He did the thinking!It was a one off, then I had a couple more made for another Pilot guy.I've heard the ratio is 9.something to 1, almost 10 to 1. It'a an FNR.
We got her buttoned up today. Bug engineered a belt guard/electric starter protecter that we got on. He also welded on a camera mount for the new camcorder. I just have to deal with a carb float bowl leak, then I'll be good to go! I'll start checking into shipping costs to get me and it over to The Land Down Under so I can test it out against Bazz and his band of cohorts (I wish!).
You can sit in the pilot and we will fill the rest of the crate with brats and beers...... look like "spies like us" when they pry off the lid!
