    There were several companies that would destroke or debore your motor to make it a 200cc 2 stroke. Klemm Research, JP Racing, and Selvy's to name a few. Here are a couple of articles for you to read.

    I have actually ridden a 200cc Tecate back in the late 80's, and it was really hard to tell the difference between it and a 250cc Tecate.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)
