Kennerz, which Tecate was it with the stupid low production run then? The 87 B2?
I personally am saving to get an 85 A2. The 84 A1 is the fatty front tire but drum brakes. The A2 has a disk.
All the Kawi had stator problems but swapping in a KX250 ignition solves it basically.
And like Kennerz said. You can get them dirt cheap in Cali. That's why I'm saving. $500 for a bike, $500 for shipping. And I have a good base/starter project Tecate. I got a buddy who'll hook me up lol
Also like Carl said, the YZ250 is a bolt in swap for the Tri-Z, just gotta swap clutch covers over to have a forward kick and you've gotta swap in the Tri-Z kicker shaft.
Not 100% sure of if the KX250 is a bolt in swap for the KXT. I know you can put an 85/86 quadracer engine in one though!
