What fits Tecate 3's

[Tecate250]

I want to start a thread to track down parts that I never thought of using. There was a Tri-Z thread started a while ago, but that info is almost usless to a tecate owner. I seen on here somewhere that a kawasaki 550 jet ski piston will fit the big bore 300 kit?
Mojave rear rims will fit the front and back of the 85 and fit the back on the 86-87 models, "But they don't look without paint"
83-84 kx 250 cylinder carb and electronics.
Reeds from a kx 125/250 and 500 as well as the reed cage.
Swingarm bearings and seals are the same in msot of kawasakis line up.

I think its the JS300 piston that is used for the big-bores... The ignition systems from '86-'86, and probably '87 will fit as well.

The rear suspension linkage from the 83-4 KX250 will bolt up.
2001 Raptor shock will bolt up once the lower shock mount is drill out to size.
Dont hold me to this but I think Honda 400EX rear hubs will attach to the factory axle.
The 86-7 KXT rearend will bolt up tp the 84-5 KXT swingarm(have to use complete rearend)

[BigGreenMachine]

EX hubs will work on the 86/87 Tecate, doubt they will work on the 14 spline 84/85 axle.

As far as the shock swap goes a 300EX shock will work as well. Top mount needs to be drilled out, not the bottom.

so if you use the entire rear end, pivot, dogbone and swinger it would all mount up with no probs, no mods? hey hey hey, bgm didnt you say that the 86 swinger is like 2 inches longer right?

I don't know if the whole 86-7 swing arm will bolt up to the 84-5 frame. I believe it was BGM who swapped in an 86-7 carrier, axle, hubs, sprocket, brake rotor, etc. to an 85 swing arm but I would ask him if you are wanting to do this.

Almost will... Only the mounting tabs for the strut need attention... they must be relocated to the center... easy enough....

yeah thats what i was told. gonna possibly be doing this seeing is how i have the 86 roller just sitting there. and i am heading down to the city this weekend to pick myself up my next project t3. saweeeeeeeet!!!!!

Will that make four??? I am a bit jealous...

[BigGreenMachine]

That will make 3. The 85 Tecate UNI Track linkage and pivot will work on the 86/87 Tecate but you have to drill out the mounting holes. The bolt is too small for the 86 to work on the 85, there would be slop.

I don't have an 86 rear end in mine yet but I will. Cool thing with that is the T4 axle will work in the 86/87 Tecate carrier. You'll need the 4 inch extended axle to get +2 since the T4 is narrower.

[Tecate250]

This thread is sweet. I need a rear end and have seen many 86-87 rear ends on ebay.

[joe_f7]

how about the cylinder. need one for my 86 KXT

The '86 KX250 cylinder is the same exact part as the '86--'87 KXT250... '85 KX250 cylinder will bolt directly on too, but it has a few differences...

[Tecate250]

A tecate 4 master cylinder will fit a tecate 3 84-5 models. You just have to flip it and make a new bracket.

Banshee shocks bolts right in, you just need to open the bushings for the lower mount (top stock on a banshee) and mount it upside down. No clearance issues at all and almost and exact copy of the stock T3 shock, but with a much better feel...
