well then 88 ups we all make some mistakes and as far as forums are concerned i though we where all kawi aficionados but obviously i am mistaken, because there are no tecate 4 forums, the ignorance of some people amuzes me lol

technicly, this would go in the "other " forum

its going to be hard to find anything for that quad, since they were only made for 2 years, there wasnt alot made for them. your best bet is you just call dura blue, i think they are the only ones who even make wheel spacers. or if you have a dealership that you have a decent relationship with, ask them to find some for you

I run a shop in WI. I once owned and raced the Tecate-4 at the beginning of my career! It was always a weird little machine. ATV SPORT this month has a feature article about the old T-4 with Jimmy White (an old hero), and Jimmy goes on to outline what I already knew-this machine is extremely hard to set up for competitive racing.

At his level in 1987, Jimmy White went from the front of the pack on a Quadracer to the back when he recieved his Kawasaki "factory ride". Jimmy did always like the TECATE 3 wheelers!

I guess I don't feel bad about running mid-pack in MX, TT and short track locallly as a 15-year old! The motor screamed, but she had some handling issues!

Life changed or the better when I got on board a 250R!

Back to your questions. I can get most parts (Chassis, motor, etc...) to "restore" this thing. You just have to remember what you have and what to expect out of your investment.

The TECATE-4 is something you keep in the back of your garage as a "conversation piece". My old one did just that at the local HONDA dealer in a deep, dark warehouse, and lots of conversations started with "You know, some crazy SOB actually RACED that thing!"

GOOD TIMES!

Herrmann racing offers a-arms and swingarms. An axle can be (or at least used to be) found through LSR or Dura Blue.

I can see Nacho Libre wheeling around on one down there!

thanks for the help guys, my intentions are not to spend much usdollars on this thing, i just want to improve the handling via wheel spacers, and that is it no pipe or porting just a fun recreational atv to have, as a handmedown i cannot get to picky, i already own a 89 shee, this quad will be for the wife to trash lol take care and keep on riding...

Hey you should check out The Tecate Connection
www.tecateconnection.comwww.tecateconnection.com
One of these should work. They have tons of stuff for Tecates even an online store. I'm sure someone there will direct you where you need to go. Oh and by the way DONT just put it in the back of you garage, they where meant to ride the tires off of them I have a 3&4 and still love to ride them. Yeah they are collectors items IMO so hang on to it. Hope you enjoy it
