    thats a nice looking tecate for $1500 in Canada. i know i guy who bought one of theses for $1200 and it didn't even run! as long as the motor sounds tight the oil leak shouldn't much just a new gasket. if you go look at it check around the case bolt they my have been over torqued and cracked the case that may be causing the leak

    If you can afford it, want it, and have trouble finding them, go for it!
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    Trike is at Cambell River. I live in Vernon. If it was closer it would be in my shop right now, aslong as it is as good as the guy says it is . I dont want to to use up all that time travelling just in case I decide against it. So please buy it , it is making me nuts (lol)

    The 85 has aluminum wheels, front disc brakes, a brace in the footpeg, 2mm larger carb, grease zerks on the dogbone, adjustable rear shock, seperate light and kill switches, 4/156 rear hub spacing (84 was 4/4, 85 won't fit inside an 8" wheel), there are also some small frame differences. The 85 was longer and lighter. The seam on the inside of the frame where the footpeg mounts is fully welded on an 85, spot welded on an 84. The rear carriers are different where the rear caliper mounts.
    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)

    Yeah I was wondering about that. Makes me a little nervous its been bored out to that size. However maybe the guy does not know for sure . He kept calling it a KX trike and did not know it was a Tecate
