Same bike, Same bore, 24 years later.. How many of you can do that? lol

Just struck me as kind of crazy..

Bryan, you're a lucky man..

Oh yeah.. and it's a Tecate.. same Ricky Stator stator.. lol

[Swinger]

Awesome!! I know I cant say that! I thought you still had it red though?

[dcreel]

It's been green for a long time.. I put the plastics on another Tecate and traded it for a Bandito 110.. lol

Thats funny, just traded my Tecate for a 110. I miss it already though but kids love the 110

can't believe that bike is on the same bore. Doug, I just started a thread for St. Joe this spring. I am really hoping you can make it! I am hoping Bryan will be there too on this bike!!!

The family and I are definitely planning on it.. Just to show where my allegiance lies I'm building a Kawasaki green '86 atc250r.. lol That should confuse people..

[yaegerb]

Totally sweet...red frame with green plastics? That doesn't sound half bad if that's what you are going for.

[atc300r]

I ran my 85 250r from 93 to 2009 on the same Wiseco piston rode and raced it with the same piston . You got me beat by a long shot.

Green frame and swinger, white and green plastics.. and some chrome, and some polish.. woot!

[Darius1502]

That is awesome...stuff was made so well back in the day (or so I like to think). My quadzilla has gone from 1990 to 2013...same bore.

23 years...and still hauls serious ass....

MY R is on the original bore...fast a crap....

I'd love to freshen them up a see what they feel like...

I have quite a few,,Ope,,you rode yours though!! Quiet Swinger ! Actually,,IF I wasn't a close minded Idiot,,I would have My Dads original 85 Big red,,which EASILY had over 40,000 miles on it . 100% original except Starter,battery and rubber. But,,that aint no Tecate. Very cool.

It's from all the grape additive that Doug adds to his pre-mix.

As funny as that is, the stuff still makes me go :drool:

I keep a jar cracked in the garage as an air freshener.. no lie..

[atc007]

Doug,how many pistons / Ring changes over the years.. you also have me thinking !

[dcreel]

Bill, 2 piston/ring changes.. still boggles my mind.. When Bryan (bkm) got it it pulled 180 lbs.. lol

[atc007]

Amazing,,good oil on your filter!!

[dcreel]

Amazing,,good oil on your filter!!

Maxima.. That is all it has ever used.. Super-M at 32:1 and Maxima foam filter oil. BelRay trans fluid and fork oils.. lol

[motoman1012002]

[Keith Salyer]

Thats a cool story. But it just goes to show that we don't get to ride often enough!!!!

[dcreel]

Do you know how often it was ridden????

[atc007]

I'm bettin that bike has around 8000 miles on her....

[RubberSalt]

Both YT 175 engines i got had original bores. Used the oil injection for them both also.

On a side note, my ATC 90 from 74 had original bore, still within spec. talked about a ragged out machine!!

[whyzee]

Amazing! That pic of you from Glamis looks like a cover shot of a magazine.

[bkm]

How the hell did I miss this thread. lol I have only gotten to take this bike a short run (life has gotten in the way) and I was amazed at its power. I'm sold on anything Klemm has put his hands on. I can't wait to really get a chance to ride it this year. There is something really cool about a bike that makes you smile any time you happen to glance at it.

[JasonB]

That's awesome mean! I hope my 310 has half that longevity !

[dcreel]

It looks amazing Bryan.. The white tank and the decals really pop.. It couldn't have gone to a better guy..

[bkm]

Thanks brother. Its a special bike that is for sure. The first time I saw it, I said " man I want one of those". lol
