Don't you mean Tecate?

Hello, and welcome, what do you ride?

Nothing like throwing the paddles on and towing one of your crazy friends around on an inner tube.

Honda TRX500R

Those are factory bikes.

I have my motor in pieces right now, replacing some bad gaskets and seals. Should be back together in time for some good muddy fall riding.

Can you post a pic?

So, there's only two of us, what's up?

what kind of trailer?

So, did you ever get that Blaster?

Napa sells a simple inexpensive 12v light that my buddy used on his Tecate. I have some on my Blazer too.

Just put a CR500 motor in it, it will be way faster.

200psi is very high, you can't run pump gas with that high of comp. I'm pretty sure that it should be around 160psi, but I am not 100% sure on that. I would do a leak down test to make sure your crank case is sealed, if you have a leak some where, that could be your problem.

Just noticed you are in Washington.....You are VERY CLOSE to the Sand.....No Excuses!!!!

This is true, there is sand to the south and to the east. The 20th is on a thurs, I have tues and wed off so that is when I make any trips to ride out of town. The bike is in pieces right now but I should have it back together in about 2 weeks. I will probably take a trip down to Oregon soon after, been too long since I have seen the sand.

The 450 is ugly, although it does look better in black than yellow. The 90 looks good though, they should have designed the 450 like that.

I think the ATV market took a turn for the worse when they stopped making 2-strokes.

I think that my CR500 powered "golf cart", as you call it, can keep up! Even with the extra wheel.

2-strokes kick a$$

I've never seen so many trikes in one place, crazy bastards.

Finding out my dad's cancer is in remission and getting to spend another X-Mas with him!!!!

That is awesome, nobody likes cancer. Have a merry X-mas. That is the first time I have wished someone a merry X-mas in August.

I have already done that. It is a hand built frame using an '86 TRX250R frame as a template, with a CR500 motor in it. I am planning also to do a YFZ450 frame with a banshee motor in the near future.

"In order to tap into the power of a two stroke engine, you have to keep the throttle close to wide open to stay in the power band."

WTF I don't think they would say that again after riding a big bore 2-stroke like a CR500 or KX500.

Outboards are mostly 4-strokes now, but before they switched some used the direct injection to help with efficiency and emissions. I am just wondering why that didn't spread to the ATV/Cycle world, seemed like a good idea, but maybe they were problematic or something.

Thanks guys.

I love the 2-stroke.
