Bushings will work in place of needle bearings in this app however the needle bearings will allow the arm to move more freely especially under the severe loads the arm is subjected to.

Race Tech makes a replacement for Kawasaki p/n 44018-1051. it is Race Tech p/n FMBI 41201 P. They have many of the street bikes listed but not the 86/87 Tecate. It is the same part though. I just paid $25 for a pair.

[emmie357]

As far a the 84/85 suspension linkage bearings it looks like a 94/95 Honda CB1000 swingarm bearing should work:
http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...3-MZ1-003.html

It's the same size roller bearing, I wonder if the dust seals are usable too?

Well some KX500 riders are saying the weak small spring pushing together the ratchet gears is why the kickstart gear slips and the slipping causes the gear damage.

Solution 1 was add another washer to push the spring harder or of course coming up with a strong spring.

Having the right washers in the assembly stack or even adding more to the stack.

Cutting back gears if needed but they may be surface hardened???

Kick starter will not always engage when engine is cold. If I lean the bike to the right and pull slightly on the kick start shaft it will usually engage. Once the bike starts and warms up a little no problems after that. Kick starter engages every time.

I had the exact same problem with my 500 when I bought it...once it was warmed up, it was fine.
It was the ratchet spring that was the problem...they're a fine wire spring and get weak over time.
Get the correct part #...and they're under $10.

There was also talk of KX250 engine parts were not changed much from 89-2004 for sure and the changes were minor and all versions are compatible.

s happens... the 3. gear of the ´87 is now for the scrap man ... same problem like on the ´83 kx250 2 years ago ...
First i fixed the transmission of my 87-motor . A snap ring was out of direction. gears still looking like new. so i replaced all snap rings and washers..

KX 250 Transmission Gears and forks are matching from ´83-´89 only the shafts were changed in 85 and 88 ...



Supposed KX250 Factory Race works crank?


Much to learn and now i know quite every part that was mounted on the kx 2stroke 250 and 500 between 1983 and 2008 ... and you would be stunned to learn that a little handful parts in the last kx250 in 2008 were unchanged since 1978...

Kawi didn't change things unless they could make it worth while. Look at the kx500 1988 they found a frame and ergos that carried the bike until 04, 89-04 KX500 engines stayed the same except for a few minor parts that can be adapted to fit all those years, They used the "K.I.S.S." and "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mottos lol

Hi All,

Just one of my options right now since parts are hard to find.

I'm adding up the cost to fix the motor and it's coming close to the price of a good used 2000 kx motor I found.

So how much moding do I need to do to get it to fit?

dinky,

thats definetely a job for the advanced kx-wrencher!... smiley

the 2000 engine fits to the 87 lower motormounts, but its still a lot of modifying the 87 use 8mm motorbolts and 15mm swingarm-bolt . the 2000 engine has 10mm boltholes and 17mm swingarm-bolt...
last year i had a 96 engine in my 87 frame... you need a completed modifyed pipe , bolt-on-headstay or a 2003/04 cylinderhead, handmade-bushings everywhere for the motormounts and swingarm-bolt...handmade brackets for the headstay...
here you can take a look at it: http://der-motopunk.de.tl/projekt-ev...r-kx250E1-.htm

if i where you, i would rebuild the 87 engine or try to get an good used 88-91 engine. that would make some things easier for the engine swap...
second option: you can try to fit the 2000 crank and cylinder to the 87 motor-bottom, but also not as easy as it sounds in first...

Here's the link for swapping forks from the 85 Tecate to using the 86 Tecate forks:


http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...-Tecate-please

I read somewhere in this thread it was possible and it got me curious, there's no real details to the swap but there are some pics and input from members in there.

I swapped the 85 out for the 86 forks, it's a direct swap fits like a glove.

Oh wow he tried to put the 1986/87 style tank and radiator setup on the A1/A2....I searched around for info and found people saying it was possible but with no pictures and no real steps of what was involved in the swap. Good find!

Some one on here was going to buy a 86 Triple tree set from me to do this swap soon but the money never showed and guess he hasnt had time to get started on it. Maybe he will and provide more info on the conversion.

[nd4speed]

So it seems the 1990-94 KDX250 is a direct bolt on motor swap for the 1986/87 Tecate. Sprockets, swingarm bolt, and Motor mounts line up except the front need spacers and the upper motor mounts always need to be fabricated or modded.

This also means many other KX250 motors fit directly in this frame as mentioned like 3 posts above this one.

Bushing fit, but they don't. Some modification needed

A slight hiccup. The Race Tech bushings are a tiny bit thicker than stock. They fit perfectly in the lower tube by themselves and fit the upper, but with a gap. The old stock bushing was almost touching itself. My idea is to reduce the overall diameter of the recess for the bushing, thus closing the gap and allowing the bushing on the inner pipe to go in the lower fork tube. I'm guessing a few thousandths if that...

I just picked up a $50.00 Banshee shock, its around a 1/2" - 3/8" shorter than the stock 85 Tecate shock.

01-05 Raptor 660 rear wheel hubs fit a 86/87 Tecate rear axle. Slides on nice and tight. Only difference is the hub doesn't slide on all the way as the axle splines stop and there is about a 1/4-1/2 inch gap from hubs hitting the stop point on the axle. Also on area where the nut goes on the hub sticks out about a 1/4 inch from where the splines stop.

[tecaterob]

I know you said the T4 motor doesn't fit the 86 T3, but does it require a lot of work? My frame, swing arm were just powder coated. I have a spare 330 T4 motor in storage and that I forgot I had. I'm thinking of putting it in my build. Thanks for your input..
