Hi i have recently got an old Yamaha 250 race quad and took it out a few times, now i cant kick it out of third or fourth. Any ideas what it could be? Also i am not sure what quad it is, what oil to use and where the best place to buy parts is! I think it has the same engine and rear end as one of those three wheeler TRI Z 250s. Can anyone help me out? Alex

 

put up some pics of it. if not take it to ur dealer. is it 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

 

Its a 2 stroke! How can i put a pic on?

 

click the "my page" tab at the top of your screen. You may have to shrink the pictures downto get them to fit.

 

Is it a Tecate or is that a Kaw?

 

The tectate is a Kawi , yeah best bet is to put up a pic !

 

it's probably a tri-z with a frotn end conversino from a 3 wheelre to a quad

 

Yamaha never made a 250 2 stroke quad. My best guess woud be that it's a blaster, maybe with a 240 big bore kit. It could be something that was custom built, or maybe it's really not a 250?

Get some pictures up and it'll help a lot.

 

Yeah the bloke i got it off didnt know much about it but he said something along those lines! When i looked at the gear box oil today it was a milky colour, thats not good is it?

 

Milky oil usually means there is water in it. I'd get that changed as soon as possible.
