The tecate chassis was infamous for its poor A-arm geometry and forward posititioed pilots comparartment. Its handling is often compared to a
ford Econoline van with a nirto-burning 1500 horse power engine.IN other words there is alot of bump steer and the back is hard to hook up.It couldnt match the honda or suzuki in corners
and to prove a moot point was only able to land one national victory of note during its. When it ran , the tecate also suffered constant ignition faliures If the stator didnt crap out the magnets would eventually fly off the rotor
Its quiet obvios why u never see anymore tecates most were driven to the top of a high ridge and pushed off with a victorios whoop

 

Where is the Tecate boneyard? I would like one! I like fixing up old ATV's. I checked all the cliffs and steep banks around here, I only found old appliances, and some garbage.

 

There is an excellent condition Tecate-4 for sale. $2000 of best offer in the Denver paper. Ive been thinking about it!
