Yes get good life insurance.

[TeCaTe_MaN]

yes, these tecates are beasts, i have an 85 myself and love the thing...just remember to crack open the stator cover every now and then to make sure you dont have any water in it or youll shoot your stator out (happened to me 2 times, now i open it after every ride where theres water) and the hard starting is because of low compression, maybe blown crank seal(s) or your bore is shot or your piston/rings are bad...get that problem fixed and ittl start 1st or 2nd kick and run like a champ

Doesn't the 200x do almost 70mph?

[md1985250r]

Doesn't the 200x do almost 70mph?


yeah...the 85 tecate is almost as fast .............lmfao!!! :D :D

[dreamintheR]

yea right lol ... how much do you think it will cost 2 fix the problems for it 2 start good?

[84250r]

Doesn't the 200x do almost 70mph?

Not even close.

[TeCaTe_MaN]

the 200x does like 56 tops i can say,i sold my 200x 2 days after i went riding with a pack of 85 tecates for the money for my tecate! :Bounce :TrikesOwn

and the money cost wont be as much as what you will spend if you bring it to a shop cus it is alot of labor to take an engine apart...probrably no more than like 70 bucks for parts depending on what it is

[dreamintheR]

hey guys i think its gonna need a stator so i dont think im gonna buy it stators cost $200 bucks so eh lol... BUT i did find another deal on a kawasaki , kx125 :D 93 with fmf pipe n silencer ceet graphics renthsl bars for $900. i think im gonna call the guy up

[dreamintheR]

i've seen these go for 20-30 bux ricky's stators too, they dont burn out like the stock ones

[dreamintheR]

i might buy it if he will take $600 for it! maybe $700 maybe ;) well ive i get a stator i want the flywheel also so id just go spend the $200 bucks for the both , what is it like $20 dollars for shipping? anyways i have $930 dollars so that would sum it up for me id be outa cash , but i was wondering wil this stuff fit on a 85 tecate?? mainly the coil!!

thx,colt
me thinks you are barking up the wrong tree....if you can jump start it and it runs fine, you don't need a coil or a stater. why does everyone always say they need a coil? coils rarely fail, and the stator gets ruined by the flywheel. here is the PROPER wayto diagnos thes problems
1 buy a new plug b8es or br8es
2 spray starting fluid in the airbox..if it starts you don't have electrial issuses
3 assumin it does start breifly you now know that your problem can be 3 things:a: compression, check the compression to see if it is over 150psi. this more than likely your problemn
b:fuel system, try a known good carb and see if it runs or clean and check yours carefully
c: check to see if your reeds are no good, if the have a gap between the cage abd tip over say a match book flap thickness...they are worn out
I suggest you no waste your money guessing(unless you like spending $)

[dreamintheR]

yea i agree but eh the only way i can find out whats wrong with it is if i take it to a shop , i asked the guy if it starts hard and he said its hard to kick over , so it cant have low compresion , idk if it has airleaks but he said he gets weak spark sum times , good spark sometimes , and no spark sometimes , he suggested it may need a coil not me

[TeCaTe_MaN]

get a manual and work on it yourself...

[dreamintheR]

alright but do you think that sutff on ebay will fit a 85???i just wanna know cause its extreamely cheap

[TeCaTe_MaN]

that im not sure of...it all looks exactly the same as an 85's but some of the stuff in it might be different

[dreamintheR]

yea i guess i will

[TeCaTe_MaN]

in another post i read you said you were 120 #'s you better hang on to that tecate...tightly

im 6'1" 260 and my 85 tosses me around

[dreamintheR]

lol i plain on it dont worry it was a kx250 engine in it so i think i know how fast it will go lol ive riddin a fully modded banshee n that nad me piss my pants whne i hit powerband in 3rd gear

[deathman53]

hold on, tecates are top end monsters, atleast mine was. my atc 330r, I really have to hold on, it tries to throw you off the bike, and I weight 185 lbs. When I ride my 200x it feels like a scooter.

[dreamintheR]

[dreamintheR]
