Hmmm... Dave's going Muscle on us.
First a GPX than a quad tigger. What next? Nittro?
Not much out of the ordinary comes to mind on this one. Just the usual complete teardown and fix all the litle stuff.
If it is a Z model check the suspension very close as the parts are unigue. So is the track as it has magniesium cleats.

Dave ck the compression, as a scored cyl would mean a Nikasil job. IF it's the quad plugged version make sure it has spark on all plugs as CDI's & coils might be getting hard to come by..

Thanks Guys, He was called into work lastnight so I won't see it until later today. I don't know what it is but these old muscle sleds are popping up here alot the past few weeks! The one part in the pictures that caught me eye was the juice brakes. Was that a stock item?

I believe the 74 & 75's should be T7 engines with the 4 plugs, the 73'S I think only were twin plugs, & the 76's I think had the Suzuki Engines.

Kenny,the engine is gone! He forgot to tell me that. Did the "z" have a unique vin# or vin# run?

The plain 75 Tigre was model number 250-065 stamped on the right side of the tunnel.
The Z was number 250-069. There are many difference in the two models.
The seat and the suspension are the two most noticble differences.
The Z has twin pipes and the regular model has a single.

Bought the sled the other day but i don't think it was a "z". The juice brakes are complete and do work so that was worth the money alone.
