    87 Tecate Build

    Finally received a large amount of parts back from powder coating. Figured I would start a build thread.

    What we started with.

    I also have new plastic to go on and have received numerous parts from very helpful members. I will start assembling in the next few weeks.

    Looks good.
    If I can restore this piece of junk, anything is possible.

    Rings are 70.00mm. Wiseco ring part number is 2756CD. RIngs fit the following models with Wiseco piston kit number listed:

    Honda 73-77 CR250/MT250 with standard bore with Wiseco piston kit 431PS or 431M07000.

    Kawasaki 98-05 KDX220 with .040 bore with Wiseco piston kit 750P4 or 750M07000.

    Kawasaki 78-86 KX250 standard bore with Wiseco piston kit 439PS or 439M07000.

    Yamaha 76-78 YZ250 standard bore with Wiseco piston kit 234PS or 234M07000.

    Yamaha 80-82 IT/YZ250 standard bore with Wiseco piston kit 452PS or 452M07000.

    Yamaha 83 IT250 with .080 bore with Wiseco piston kit 515P8 or 515M07000.

    Yamaha 85-86 YTZ250 TRI-Z with .080 bore with Wiseco piston kit 515P8 or 515M07000.

    Not sure if you are wanting to know about OEM rings but I guess Kawasaki.com would tell you that.

    Ya I was wondering about OEM, I can't seem to find it. Probably a stupid question, but just want to be sure.

    Interesting Kawasaki says OEM 1986 KX250 and that's it for other models. Strange. But, the part is still active in limited quantity.

    The piston is still available?? Every site I have tried says they are discontinued. I know that the rings are still available. I have an OEM 85 and a set of OEM 86 rings, just wanted to see if I could use those rings rather than buying another set for the 85.

    I meant the OEM rings are active and according to KAwasaki work only on 1986 KX250 and 86/87 Tecate piston.

    OEM 1986 KX250 piston is same as 1984 Tecate piston.

    OEM 1985 tecate piston is some sort of odd ball? Weird....

    Your build looks nice. I really like the stock color on the frame and swingarm looks great
