FireHead Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I know quite a bit about Tecates. The first thing that comes to mind that you ought to know is that y'all have been spelling it wrong. Other than that they are great bikes.

nater006 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) Yeah, I have owned 2 of them.. an 87 and '88. Lots of stuff you can do to 'em and the engines are really strong 250s. Best mod, after pipes and intake, is to dump a KX250 powervalve assembly in them. It really opens the engine up and is worth every penny. If you can still buy Klemm Research stuff for 'em, they made some really good pipe/silencer combos for the T4. Only hard thing to find is plastic... kinda screwed in that capacity. Other than that, its a lil tippy which can be fixed, but a very fast quad overall. Even comes with a nice round swingarm carrier.. no lovely "Banshee" chain adjusting. Crap I just re-read your post and you were planning on parting it... you should be able to get a MINT for the plastic if its decent. That stuff is damn impossible to find.

finman Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 How does one run that has standard pipe mods with a little bore compared to a banshee with same type of mods? Finman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 How does one run that has standard pipe mods with a little bore compared to a banshee with same type of mods? I was kinda wondering that too. This one is bored and stroked to a 350 (according to the guy that has it) It has D&D racing engraved in the cylinder so im sure its got some good work done to it.. Id like to know how it will run down the road next to my banshee... I went to his house twice today and no one was home. Ill try again tomorrow if I have time if not monday. Id really like to get this thing especially for the money he's asking. plastic is mint... along with everything else on the quad actually...
