Hello All new member from Alsip IL.

[84tecate250r]

just purchased a 84 tecate as far as i know. I really can't figure out if it's actually a 84 or a 85 and idea how to figure this out?

[bkm]

Is the front brake drum or disc? Post some pictures that will help determine a lot easier.

Thanks for the reply i think for sure this is a 85.. it has front disk breaks.. also i have some other questions as well ... will a 40:1 mix be okay for the oil to gas ratio.. 2-stroke pre-mix right? will shell 93 octane be okay? & 10-30 cycle Atf type f oil for the trans?

93 octane with Pre mix 2 stroke oil, 40:1 will work if your compression is low enough. If the compression is around 200 then it might require race gas...but most likely it is not. So most people would not want to give you bad advice here. The seller should have told you how it was setup.

There is ATF type F, then there wet type clutch oil 10w-40. I have run ATF type F and the clutch is real grabby. I went back to Valvoline ATV or motorcycle 10w-40 wet clutch oil from Autozone.

TRANSMISSION. Recommended transmission oil is
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil with an API classification
of SE. The manufacturer recommends changing
transmission oil after every 20 days of operation.
The transmission sump is filled through filler cap (F—
Fig. K10-1) opening. Oil level should be maintained at
middle of sight glass (G). Sump is drained by removing
plug in underside of sump. Transmission sump capacity
is 700 mL (23.8 oz.) on all Al and A2 models and 800
mL (27.2 oz.) on B1 and B2 models. Tighten transmission
sump drain plug to 20 N-m (14.5 ft.-lbs.).

Thank you much for the information i'll be running out today to get exactly what you told me. The seller did mention he was running race gas in it..

[nd4speed]

I think a compression tester not tto much if you can afford one or maybe ask autozone or where ever if they rent one.

I use valvoline 2 stroke oil pre mix, getting harder to find at auto stores here but a few gas stations have it, people freak out about oil discussions. To me it is simple, it just needs oil in that gas. I havent had a problem with Valvoline, when I tear down an engine I find an oily crank just like with yamalube. Running AMS oil, the crank was dry and subsequently blown. To each his own, but I like to just drive 2 miles and buy oil that is half the price of dealers 15 minutes away.
