Tecate Top Speeds?

[Vortex]

What is a realistic top speed for the 84/85 Tecates bone stock?Or what speeds have you guys been getting with your modded tecates?

[fabiodriven]

Stock gearing was very low. I'd estimate about 55-60 mph.

What was the stock gearing for the front and back?

[fabiodriven]

Stock was 13/42 with 22" tires.

[Vortex]

so I would need to go up in teeth on the front and down on the rear to get higher topend?

[fabiodriven]

Affirmative.

[Vortex]

What sprocket combo would I need to get to get the top speed up to 65+?

I have a friend with a modded blaster who wont shut his mouth talking trash about 3 wheelers and id like to shut him up lol
His tops out at 60.

how much does each tooth add to speed?

He will shut his mouth when you pull in front of his Blaster and fill his helmet full of roost. IDK what mods this kid has on his Blaster but a T3 should mop the floor with him in a drag race.

I'm not a big fan of top speed runs anyways. All atvs handle like crap at those kinds of speeds unless build for that. Seems like alot of the deaths I hear on the radio with atvs have something to do with high speeds and on the roads. Just be carefull is what I'm saying.:rolleyes:

I know guys.I always wear a helmet and don't typically drag but it would be nice to beat him once.
I've been riding my 200x since 95 so I am fairly comfortable on 3 wheelers.Just new to the Tecate scene and never ''modded'' any of my trikes.Just left them stock thats why im asking all these simple questions.

With the track we have setup in my woods we don't reach speeds more than 30.

Although I have zero Tecate experience, I'll go out on a limb and say going +1 on your drive sprocket should get you to 65 or so. If you want to be sure, go +2.. But you may have chain tension issues going +2.. Again, I have no experience with Tecates...But your Tecate will get there a WHOLE lot faster than any Blaster.

I know it's just advertising, but I remember looking at Blaster mods from Vitos, and they claim "up to 32hp" with their 240 big bore for the Blaster... And I would be willing to bet that calimed achieveable hp is accomplished with all the supporting mods. Not just slapping the bog bore on and running stock carb and pipe.....

Point being, you WILL spank that thing!! Or should I say, you BETTER spank that thing! LOL!

[fabiodriven]

If you're not spanking him you have one lame Tecate there my friend. Rev her to the moon, show no mercy, and hold it wide open while you shift. Just shift fast. Touch the clutch, don't yank it all the way in.

Like so-

Or would you prefer a Quadracer 500?

[Vortex]

Thanks guys.I am going to race him tomorrow and I will tape it and post it on here.Should be entertaining.

I was between two friends in trucks on my 85' T3. I was pushing the truck in front of me to go faster. I got up to 72mph when my crank let loose! You should have NO problems letting him taste your roost!!!

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Cool vids Fab! :cool:

[beecj0]

WELL!! Did you feed him some roost?

[just ben]

86 t3 stock gearing,stock engine 18" rears and I had a 50mph trap speed and she didn't have much more maybe 5mph. they were built for a track,not top speed.
