I know someone that is selling what she says is a 1998 Kaw Tecate 250. I can't find any info for this bike. Could it be a Mojave? Don't know much about the sport bikes. Is it a 2 or 4 stroke? What about overall performance of this bike? Thanks for any help.

 

Tecate one of the lengendary 2-strokes. It is the fastest of the 250 2-stroke class but does not have the best handeling. Great atv but they are very rare. Kinda hard to find restoration parts to

 

They still made these 4 wheelers in 98? She said it was loud but didn't think you had to mix oil with the gas.

 

They stopped making the T4 in the late 80's so if it's a 1998 it can't be a T4, and if you dont have to mix oil and gas than there is a big chance that it's a 4 stroke and not a 2 stroke. Could be a mojave, lakota, or like you said a tecate but the year might be 1989 instead of 1998. Also any quad can be loud if it has an aftermarket pipe or a broken pipe. Not to much we can say because they not enough infomation. If you get some more info than we can help you out more.

 

tecate was only made 87-88 and mojave was made 87-04 so its prolly a mojave

 

If it's a 98 it's not a tecate period, it try a Mojave and don't waste your money...

 

best thing to do is call the dealer on kawasaki s and ask what year it is they made the tecates and if you look on the frame it should have an sticker that tells the year or size 250 or 125 ..... on the wire harnes some where up towards the gas tank is the only two spots i know of they put a sticker that says the years on the bike most mojaves have it this way mine is in front left side by the top a-arm in middle actually between the a-arm connectes to the frame.........hope this helps and best of luck
