Kxt250 Tecate 3 What Parts Fit Swap Interchange?

[laidout2times]

I read through here and theres a chance I missed it. Is the bolt pattern the same on the head on the t-4 vs the 86/7 t-3? Ive never had the chance to see them side by side. I know the other motor parts dont interchange but I figured if the bolt patten, channels, and dome centering were the same than it may work.

Yes they will swap.

I believe the 70mm stock bore of the 86-87 T3 is larger than the 87-88 KXF250 and therefore the 3 wheeler head was often used for T4 big bore kits. Keep in mind the head dome and squish band size must match the piston/bore size. Other than that they do swap.

I broke the shaft governor in my 86 tecate but i found an 85 kx for sale the kx is lacking powervalve parts right? but i can swap motors straight bolt up till i find the parts? confirmation of this would make me extremley happy my tecate has been apart to long

Alright I messed up and ordered a T-4 grab bar for my 86 t-3.

How hard is it to make this fit? Or is it a bolt on?

Since this thread was started as a place to post info on what interchanges from other machines onto the T3 I would suggest you guys with questions start separate threads asking them. You'll have a much better chance of getting an answer that way.

Well the Tecate 4 KXF grab bar will bolt right on but it is too short and does not extend out beyond the rear fender.

The 1985 KX250 motor bolts right in as posted on page 1.

banshee petcock VS old kxt 86 petcock

the banshee petcock bolts exactly but the outlet for the fuel is too close to the airbox.

I used the petcock off a KX80, the line comes out on the back side and works awesome. It doesnt have the reserve.

I tried checking the bike for a year, and had no luck. I'd assume its early 90's or late 80's.

[JohnR.]

It's close but I think it'll work.

Is there A huge difference between the master cylinder for a 85 KX250 and a 85 Tecate master cylinder? The rebuild kit for that one is like $16 Not sure if I can use it for the rear master cylinder on my Tecate. Thought maybe the one on the tecate would be different regarding it's capacity to need to stop 2 baloon tires as opposed to one skinny tire. On Dennis Kirk they have the "Part # fits these machines" and I've noticed they seem to leave the Tecate 3 off the lists A lot but have A million other models listed logic tells me some of these parts should fit, reeks of conspiracy imo.

hey i've been working the 86/87 rear master rebuild kit search for a few days now.... no body lists jack for them... after looking at the moose racing list almost all the kawasaki bikes use the same rebuild kit, all i want are the new seals for the piston and the bottom seal where the rod comes out. i'll order one tomorrow and see what it looks like.

also wondering if any body has tried a newer kdx220 rear master, it looks very close to the original 86/87 master....

i ordered a petcock for a yfm400 big bear it has the outlet on the bottom. hope fully it will fit the bolt spacing on the tank, if it does were all in luck there cheap 15 bucks....

lt250r/ lt500r rear master cylinder rebuild kits fit the rear 86 tecate rear master cylinder. the lt250r/lt500r front rebuild kits also fit the front t3 master cylinder. i rebuilt both of my master cylinders with them. include the seals spring piston and outer dust cover. i posted it on this thread awhile back.
