85 Tecate hoses

[stroberts22]

I remember some guys getting up a group buy of some hoses. Are any of these left? My tecate is in need of some. I put a straight piece of hose on the one that goes to the head but now the one coming out of the pump has sprung a leak and it has allot more bends than the other one especially the tight bend coming out of the radiator. Has anyone went to the part store and found a molded hose that would work?

I think motohose offers them now as a kit. http://www.3wheelerworld.com/group.php?discussionid=681&pp=10&page=2&do=discuss

[stroberts22]

That's the group buy I was talking about. I can't find motohose web site. Are they still around?

I don't see them on the site.. I guess send them a message to see if they have them or not.

Oct 13 post from Motohose- "Should have in roughly 6 -8 weeks......will update web site to include them."

It wouldn't surprise me if they have them and haven't updated the website or there was some delay with getting them done. As Doug said, I'd check directly with Motohose too.

I bought a set for my 85 but never got around to installing them. They went with TecateDan when I sold all my 85 Tecate stuff to him. He was crying about the set after he installed it, I guess there were a couple of fitment issues. They look fantastic now on the bike IMO though.

[TecateDan]

The main hoses worked great and look great. THe ancillaery hoses, radiator over fill. gass vent and diff vent sucked and were the wrong length and fit. Still worth the money IMHO but just know what your getting

If the website is not still up and in this economy it doesn't sound good.

The website is still up (I posted the link above), the Tecate hoses aren't on their site. Moto Hose actually sponsored a couple of riders at the Anaheim 1 round of Supercross last weekend. If you go on their site, send them a message about the hoses. The hard work has been done I don't know why he wouldn't be able to reproduce them still.

I didn't try your link. I thought it was the same link I was trying https://ssl.perfora.net/motohose.com/utn and I kept getting a error 404 not found on it. I just went to the part store and matched it up. $10.00 and back going. Looks as good as factory.

Still worth the money IMHO but just know what your getting1st I have heard of any more fitment issues. The 1st kit had the wrong size gas line but we sent out replacements. Others posted pictures with the hoses all installed so .... Please let me know if there are any fitment issues. Remember virgin hoses are tight and sometimes require a little TLC in getting them on the 1st time.

We currently have the 86 & 87 KXT250 Red and Blue kits in stock and are about to do another run of the 85 & 86 kits. ETA around the 1st of the year.

Do you have a quadzilla? If so can you give some measurements on the radiator hoses?

Yes I do have one. Might have the stock hoses. I'll have to check.

I'm the one who griped about the hose's and you are right it was the gas tank hose. Overall though: Killer kit worth the money for sure. Get lots of complimens on my blue hoses!!!

[TatTooL23]

^^^ good to know. i have a blue set on the way for both gens. what did u have to do with the one hose to make it work?? not much? easy too figure out?

[TecateDan]

It did not work ! I bought a banshee billet cap with a shorty hose. They screw right on

[Moto Hose]

soak the end of the hose in hot water for 15-20 seconds and grab the hose with needlenose pliers and out a 1/2 inch from the end and in a back and forth motion slide it on. Have seen some lightly heat the hose with a lighter too ..... but open flame and gas .... be careful.

[Moto Hose]

It looks like 1 hoses is the same as the LT250R but the other is shaped differently. Working on it for the LT500

[Moto Hose]

I think I posted that the 84/85 kit was in production. We have the 86/87 kits in stock.

We had to split up the production run so ETA on the 84/85 kit is late Jan.

Sorry for any confusion.

Thank you for your patience!

Alright, I'll ask this question for the hundreth time. What do we have to do to get a color made that is not red or blue?

Alright, I'll ask this question for the hundreth time. What do we have to do to get a color made that is not red or blue?And I know it has been answered dozens of times ...... ;)

get 10 or more people who want it made. If you want all 10 we can do that.

A new color usually hits 3 wanting it then it stalls.....happened here on Tri-Z and KXT posts already. If there is not enough interest here..... product will end up dead living in my inventory forever.

Thank you for the reply.
