Kxt250 Tecate 3 What Parts Fit Swap Interchange?

[Tecate250]

Yeah. Thinking of doing that to my 83 kx. I love the old look to dirt bikes and trikes.

For 1986 T3 i have:

Suspension linkage bearing, seal, collar same as swingarm pivot???

Axle bearings 40x68x15 (same as LT250R) with carrier seals as:
Left- 40x62x9
Right- 50x68x7

swingarm bearings and collars are the same as the upper suspension linkage bearings and collars.

lt250r axle bearings are cheaper than 86 tecate axle bearings. and there the same parts. kinda odd. lt230, and t4 axle bearings also fit.

upper shock spherical bearing can be replaced with a much cheaper neeled bearing. bearing number NA4900 UU $5 off ebay. you just have to use the stock bearing spacers and seals. fits perfect. will also fit the 84-85 t3 and the t4's

lt250r, lt500r swingarm bolts fit the 86 tecates, and should work on the 84-85's. or you can pm yamahondaman for a nice stainless one.

lt250r master cylinder rebuild kits fit the front and rear master cylinders on the 86 tecate. just get the front for front and rear for rear.

[bigpimpin]

is the carrier for the 85 the same as the 86 t3?

[nd4speed]

is the carrier for the 85 the same as the 86 t3?

no...................as for now it is known the carriers fit all swingarms but the matching brake and axle setups must be used with respective carriers.

1986 KX250 has different 4th and 5th gears on the transmission.
1986 KX250 clutch basket gear has one less tooth while the primary driven gear off the crank has one more tooth.
1986 KX250 has different shift shaft seal.

1986 KX250 has 20 tooth primary driven gear off crank/ Tecate has 18.

Any other 1986 KX and KXT motor differences i should add ?

I was beginning to wonder about fork bushings for all years and for KX250.

Any one else have any input on fork bushings? (besides below)

1985 KXT FORK BUSHINGS:

The oem fork bushings are discontinued through kawasaki. But... since these forks are nearly identical to the 1982-83 Yamaha yz 100, the bushings are exact replacements. Yz units are longer and have a bit more travel, but the components in leg are same. Even the oem yz fork seals and dust caps are better quality imo.......Kyb was the supplier for both machines, so this allows me to rebush all of my 85 kxt forks thanks to Yamaha still carrying replacement wear items.

The 86/87 KXT alu swing arm is basically a direct swap out to the 84/85 steel swing arm. You will need to have the shock mount repositioned and welded to center it. You will use all your 84/85 parts on the 86/87 alu swinger IF you don't extend the swinger any longer ~ if you do exstend I used a 85/86 ATC 250R rear brake line since stock for stock the 85/86 250R has a 4 inch longer swing arm then the stock 84/85 T-3.
Stock for stock the 86/87 swinger is 2 inches longer and around 15 pounds lighter.
I extended the alu swinger 4 more inches giving me a total of 6 inch over stock length. I also cut out alot of extra alu out of the 86/87 swinger since it was way over built IMO.

Sorry about that, I had my forks rebuilt by someone else who ordered the seals and i asked him what they were and he said Yamaha and gave me that number. I removed the reference to the number.

This fork seals (2) fit these models. HONDA 81 CR250R / CR450R . KAWASAKI 82 KX125 , 86-87 KXT250 / 250 TECATE . YAMAHA 84 THRU 96 XT600 , 90-91 XT600E.

[Tyler 54]

Thats fine, I'd just like to get the correct number if possible. My Kaw dealer sucks to say the least. But my honda/Yamaha dealer I get %25 discount. so I'd like to order the yamaha seals for my 86 T-3.

Fork seals 41x53x10.5 ( If you order them from YAMAHA just ask fork seals for XT600 with part number: 3SP23145-LO they are the same )


for the bearings just go to a local bearing dealer and order them, thats what i did! You pay less without a loss in the quality!!!
( SKF,KOYO, FAG ) for me are top quality brands.
