KXT250 TECATE 3 WHAT PARTS SWAP INTERCHANGE?
Try to find KX250s that match up to the years of T3 you have. Many parts swap. For 1984/85 Tecate use 1983/84 KX250 motors. For 1986/87 Tecate use 1985-1986 KX250 motors but 1985 cylinder and some internals are different.

For all years Tecate 3:
Try to find KX250s that match up to the years of T3 you have. Many parts swap. I have stripped an 84 KX and have 2 86 KXs.
Complete KX250 electrical systems 1983-1986 (no lights/ smaller flywheel) can be used and well many more dirt bikes if you have a degree wheel and know how to time everything. Discussed more later in the thread.

4/156 rear rim like Mojave, 2003 Polaris 500 Predator, and 89/90 Banshee.
Can use many years of KX250 kick start levers but they are longer, spline area is different, and plastic will be in the way of your heel somewhat
Axle Carriers swap for all years.
Stator / flywheel cover are same for all years T3 and 1983-86 KX250.
84-87 T3 and 87-88 T4 flywheels are all the same
Swingarm bolt is same and can use one from LT250R
For 1986/87 Tecate 3:
The 1985 and 1986 KX250 motor is a direct swap into Tecate frame, but the gearing right off the crank is different.
1986 KX: pipe (must mod stinger), intake boot all years KXT, brake levers/ lines, radiators, motor parts (taller gearing off crank-???), cables, intake, chain slides, bearings, rear dog bone longer but adjustable. Stator, flywheel, CDI, and wiring harness must be used as a unit.
1985 KX: same as above except cylinder has different Power Valve (can be made to work).

Shifter lever for Honda xr650l 93-04 is a direct fit 86 t3

For 1984/85 Tecate 3:
Link to Jimmy White Replica manual: http://www.3wheelerworld.com/oldsite...nuals/JWR1.pdf
The 1983 and 1984 KX250 motor is a direct swap into Tecate frame. (This also means the Tecate motor swaps into KX250 frame, sorry, someone needed help with what "swap" means)
1983-1984 KX: motor (taller gearing off crank-??? and trans less robust), front brake levers/lines same as 1986 KX, intake boot all years KXT, rear dog bone longer non-adjustable, Stator, flywheel, CDI, and wiring harness must be used as a unit.
The oem fork bushings are discontinued through kawasaki. But... since these forks are nearly identical to the 1982-83 Yamaha yz 100, the bushings are exact replacements. Yz units are longer and have a bit more travel, but the components in leg are same. Even the oem yz fork seals and dust caps are better quality imo.......Kyb was the supplier for both machines, so this allows me to rebush all of my 85 kxt forks thanks to Yamaha still carrying replacement wear items.
