250R problem

[trikeman]

I'm having problems with my 2nd gear, and 5th gear. this is on an air-cooled R. when i shift into 2nd gear and try to accelerate it starts clunking and feeling like the chain is slipping, but it's not. 3rd & 4th gear work fine, but when i shift into 5th all of the sudden it feels like i stepped on the brake, and the engine really strains... i really dont know what is or could be causing this, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like transmission problems to me. If you split the cases, I'll bet the problem will be readily apparent. Look for worn bearings, gears, gear shafts, etc. A good manual will have all the wear limits & tell you what to look for.

Youve got a couple of gears with the side meshing knobs rounded that will need replaced.

As Red Rider said, youll need to go in and do some exploratory surgery.

well the thing is that i just put this tranny back together, to put new parts in, I put it back together with a manual,but i must of missed something... so i guess it's time to take it apart again...

off subject but........ there was a kid out your way that had a 83-84 R with tranny probs,, his fathers name is Arliss, he has a lifted blue chevy... is this the same R??? PM me with what Big Red parts you need.........

sounds kinda like you got a missing tooth or maybe two on your 2nd gear, the 5th is kinda odd...

I want your IT 200 PLZ
That my dream enduro.
Hook a brother up. You will need the money to fix the R ;)

Well i took it all apart... again and all of the gears are in great looking shape, i'll take them apart and put them back together with the manual, and see if it helps at all.

And yea Freaksfix this is the same wheeler, but i didnt want to deal with that tranny so i just got a different one off of someone from the board.

Look closely, not at the teeth on the gears, but the knobs on the sides of the gears where they slide over on the shaft and meet the gears next to them on the same shaft. If they are rounded, even a little bit, it will go into gear, grab, and lock up the gearbox. When my Z, did it, you had to push it backwards to get it to unlock so you could shift it back out of gear.

cou;d jsut be a missin clip or shim somewhere making the mesh to far apart...check that...

well i checked everything over today, and it turned out that i was missing a washer on one of the shafts, so i put it on , and now everything works great.
