I did have the suspension done by pro pilot and honestly, that made the most difference in being able to carry speed and maintain it.
Yeah man, a buddy of mine has a Kawasaki 250 TECATE 3 wheeler. It's original and compact in size. It's immaculate! He also has a Honda 250r three wheeler. Both are mint condition! He doesn't ride them and he will not sell them for any price. It's crazy! This guy is in his almost mid 50's. Some people are like that. Keep your content up! Congratulations on breaking 8K subscribers! I've learned a lot from your channel.
Thank you very much, im glad you have enjoyed the channel, and gained something from it. 3 wheelers are like that, i guess, just something about them.
I had a few of these. 1-84/ 3-85 /1-86. The DG pipe worked well, did some porting and used a PJ carb. I found the weak point to be the stator and the radiator. The 86 was a different frame and fit a KX 500 motor with a few mods dyonport pipe PWK carb port polish. It was nice wake up from sluggish 250’s
Took my '85 200X out for the first time after working on it on and off for the last few months. New bearings throughout the machine plus a whole lot of new parts. Biggest change was replacing my busted headlight with a new shell and headlight for a '85 250R. Honestly haven't ridden it in about 5 yrs and had forgotten how much fun it was. A buddy was with me in a Polaris Ranger. Tons of fun. Tecates and Tri Z's are very scarce and do bring big bucks. Keep riding and remember, #save the trikes
Its great to hear your out riding your machine and you worked on it yourself, that how the hobby grows the more people who see a 3 wheeler the more they are open to having one. thanks for watching.
@@mrcbuilds Welcome dude, love your channel.
Nice! I picked up an '85. Similar story...monkeyed with. And I think most bolts on mine were loose too!! ha ha. Also, I too discovered what you did about the shifter. Too close to case and not long enough to adequately shift with riding boots. I bought aftermarket KX250 shifter, and welded in extensions. Now works like a gem.
Appreciate your videos.
Thanks Robert its all part of the fun
I love having my 84 kxt. I race it. The kx cylinder intake carb and appropriate pipe is supposed to be good for a 7-9 hp increase. That's a lot considering stock numbers! I have an ez pull clutch lever from ori, highly recommended. I did a cable to hydraulic conversion on the front drum and it's a close next best thing to the 85 disc. I also have an 86 carrier holding that bigger rear axle and splines up with Honda wheel hubs, it's bolted right into the 84 arm. I'm in the process of a little refinishing right now, next race just over a week away.
Those are some upgrades. I jave a front disx brake conversion to put on mine very soon. Mine has a twist grip on it, im still on the fence whether to keep ot or not. Over all its an amazing machine.
Boots... thats one area that buying quality pays off. Having a cheaper boot that doesn't have any feel or flex makes the gear shifter and brake pedal to where you cant feel anything. Also, if you're gonna wear boots when you ride, where them everytime, the more "broke in" your boots are, the better you're gonna feel riding and confident you'll be
Thanks All good points. Thanks , i burned my shin bad on the trx and had a stick hit my ankle pretty bad the other day, i felt it was time. Thanks for watching.
Got my 84 r out yesterday afternoon and my 84 auto x and had a blast racing with some friends
I have a ride coming too, im looking forward to it too
I told you they rip! Mine is a real handful with stock swing arm.
I have an original headlight and guard if you're interested.
Hi Jason, PM me on FB or instagram thanks
Nice machine! Seems to pull like a freight train once it starts to wind up. The utility version was called the Prairie for a few years and later on Kawi used the name on a series of 4 wheelers that lasted until the two thousands. I'm on the mend, No more walker, walking a half mile, driving the 1500 and the 2500 GMC trucks again , spent 4 hours on the lawn tractor, all 24 staples yanked out and healed up, and eating better. Just need time for the rest of me to heal and get back to business. My best to you sir, enjoy.
Good information, glad to hear tour on the mend. Keep it up!
@@mrcbuildsI must have been lucky to surround myself with good people and it showed when I was hurting. 2 neighbors came over and cut up the rest of my old shed and used a tractor to put it in the dumpster, the dumpster guy cut my penalty for keeping it so long, in half, and the girl next door made me a pumpkin cheesecake with fresh whipped cream, to help me heal. None of this was part of my old life, and I do appreciate all of them. Thanks for the thoughts.
I want to see you drifting those corners 🤙
I need to work on those !
Awesome video. Now you gotta re run the other machines on the new track. Digging the tecate.
That's the plan! thanks Pat!
Un superbe jouet 👍
À ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains ✋
Continuez comme cela, vos vidéos sont vraiment intéressantes.
Tommy
Thanks you, im glad you liked it.
Love the GREEN. Fast. You have to run the 250R again. To truly compare.
Agreed
Enjoyed the video! I always like the looks of the Tecate. Especially the later models with blue seat and cool graphics. That color combo just stood out.
Me too the 86/87 looked soooo good.
If you ever want to upgrade that front brake without swapping to and 85 front end hit me up. I make a drum to disc conversion for the 84's that's purely bolt-on and uses easily obtainable, readily available parts to get it going. Your build looks stellar, man.
Hi smokerman81, id love that, can you message me on FB or instagram.?
I have a red 84 tecate 250 bought it not running and had two mo motors to of every single thing for the bottom end and an extra top ened pistons only thing I needed was gaskets and plastics and tires paid 1200
you have a very nice bike bro insane colection 🤑🤟
Thank you, its been a lot of work, I feel very lucky to have found them all, Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, glad you found one.
I have 2 85s, one is an original red the other is a frankentrike. Bought as a pair but the green machine had no fenders, seat, carb, air filter, muffler and a toasted flywheel and stator. She is now an awesome ruder machine with 200x seat and rear fenders, 200s front fender. Looks more modern and like it was a made in the factory. Any way to upload a photo?
Very nice! not here but if you want, you can PM me on FB or Insta and I can feature your machine in a up coming " What are you riding" segment.
Hey my 3 wheeler brother? What's been crackling in your world? Are you doing okay?
Hi 3 knives, doing great, livin the 3 wheeler dream!
That bike is set up for race. The Kawasaki was the fastest out the box in its day. Harder to ride than the Honda. All those bikes where bought to race.
Yes it is, this weeks video i cut it in half.
Just a question why the hell was music playing when we're trying to hear the motor did you do that or RUclips do that
The audio may be off, thanks for the feed back. I enjoy the sound of the engine too.
what size are the tires on that bike? rears look bigger then I remember them havin. I LOVE oddball and obscure stuff, so of course I play with old Manco questser 3 wheelers. I have one I am swappin a hopped up briggs small block vanguard on, should run pretty good.
The orginal wheel was a 10inch these are 8inch so the tires look bigger, they are 22x10-8 the OE tire was 22x11-10.
@@mrcbuilds oh ok, I always thought all the "racer" style 3 wheelers came with 18.5-20" tall rears, good to know. loved the vid and sub'd.
You could be that time lol keep it pinned don’t let up lol
Always room for improvement. Yes sir, a better rider could probably shave 10 sec off my time. Lol
Off topic from the Kawasaki, I just picked up a 84 125m with shifting issues and after pulling the side cover I found the shift stopper laying in the bottom and appears to have broke off the case. Is there a fix to this or should I be hunting down a right side case?
Thanks for the info Dane.

Hi cain that big red is looking sweet.
please stop talking down your bike as a "Frankenstein" you will find with a bit of tuning people bought those wide axles(had a Durablue 6 " over on my 82 250 r, loved it stock width didn't handle well @ all!) expansion chambers(none of the race teams used stock) and other aftermarket "GO FAST" parts, not to just limp my wheeler by, but to GO FAST, or improve appearance!, personally i think your trike, & other trikes are killer!!! ENJOY & BE SAFE! . AS A SIDE NOTE ANYTHING from an off road background i would look look at frame integrity as in places trapped mud & water could cause unseen rust could cause a disaster if it is in the budget blasting, sonic checking, gusseting ,and powder coating are all nice insurance policys
Hi Jason, thanks for watching and appreciate the feed back. I walk a narrow line being on youtube, most of my viewers are not as knowledgeable on what's factory and what is aftermarket ( good and bad ). I myself get it wrong sometimes and have no issue owning that. I want people to know what is OE and what's not so they can make up there own mind as to good/bad. I have had a few machines with go fast parts pipes, axles and carbs etc. I understand wanting to go fast and looking good too. I may have been a little harsh on this machine, finding the frame was broken and most of the bolts where backing out or missing in the suspension it may have gotten to me. I have always wanted a tecate3 and now I have one, I am not mad or upset with this purchase, the term "Frankenstein" was to explain that nothing was OE or original. I will fix anything that may be wrong with it in due time. It is fast, and it looks good, just nothing OE about it except the frame and motor. My goal long term is to find an affordable Tri-z and then focus on improving the collection as a whole. I rode the Tecate3 yesterday, it rips and I am happy to have it. That twist throttle is growing on me. thanks again.
Mind if I ask what you paid? Or what they go for in your area?
Down here about $2500 is a good deal running and riding.
Man have to kill the music when your on the bikes or the bikes are running.. kills the video.. just makes me want to click off it. Hate it.. I want to hear the machines.. not music
Noted!
