Flyin Hawaiian sounds like you may have verified what I needed to know.  Your telling me if I were to buy a 1980 kdx250 tranny it has 6 gears correct?   That will be my starting point.  I was pointed in the direction of early to mid kdx's without being told specific years.  I believe based on what your saying early to mid would essentially be 1980-84 for the simple fact that they share the 6 speed gears. 

Remember lads.  Not to be confused with the kxt250 tecate 3.  There are virtually no similarities between the T3 and T4.  The kits that flyin Hawaiian speaks of were deff for the T3 not the T4,  that I can personally verify.

I had a 84 KDX250. Totally differant bottom end than the Tecate but who knows it may work. The Tecate trans was actually offered in kit form as a wide ratio kit for the 85-? KX250s for those that wanted to convert them for offroad use. I had a wr 4th and 5th in my 86 KX250. The ignition/lighting coil/flywheel from the Tecate was also offered as a kit for the KX250.

all engines of tecate 3 are optical same like the older kx/kdx 250īs that were produced over the years...
 tecate4 engine has the 88-91 kx250 cylinder  and changes in the bottom end with diferent clutch-actuation and a anti-vibration-shaft in front of the crank... but a diferent crank-case is no point to say that the trannies also are much diferent... its possible that in the tecate4 is installed the old 6speed of the earlier kdx250...
i say it again, its worth a try...  :mrgreen:

dirk_411:
Exactly.  It wont be a quick process but a winter project none the less

dirk_411:
A kawie dealer told me this morning that no kdx250 had a 6 speed.   Im confused.  Flyin Hawaiian says 6 and I found info on the net that says 5 & 6.   Does anyone actually know?  Getting way to many answers to conclude anything.  I tried to open the fiche. Can't likely my android.   

sandblaster:
No offense to your Kawi dealer but I believe he is mistaken.
Tell him to look up a 81-84 KDX250 and count the gears...
This is what my research shows...
80 KDX250 5 speed
81 KDX250-B1 KDX250 6 speed
82 KDX250-B2 KDX250 6 speed
83 KDX250-B3 KDX250 6 speed
84 KDX250-B4 KDX250 6 speed
91 KDX250 5 speed
92 KDX250 5 speed
93 KDX250 5 speed
94 KDX250 5 speed

you could look and compare it here in the oem-partslists .  :wink:

and agreed with sandblaster...  there are no much kawasaki dealers, that know much about the old aircooled kawasakis...  they sell and repair the newer bikes...  at this point i can say that my local kx-dealer is often stunning when i give him an order with parts-numbers, that he couldnt find. for example my 86-kx500 motor   the dealer has microfishes only from 88 and newer...  :roll:
