well it had to happen. First meet of the year yesterday, doing well until the very last corner and guess what - no more go when I hit 3rd gear. I was actually surprised to lose 3rd, or so it seems, as it has already had a 76 (?) mod made to it but anyway the purpose of this post is to see if there are any suggestions (serious ones that is) as to make the gearbox bulletproof (if possible) for the future.

I haven't pulled it apart yet but haven't had to do this before so any advice would be much appreciated.

Similarly if anyone can advise a good source for parts I think I would jump at it?

Thanks in advance guys.

regards

Got the http://www.ahrma.org web site and navigate down the home page to the link to the unofficial discussion forums. Check the motocross one for a thread on Red Racer. In it I belive a Mr. Bill Clem of Cycle Stop Racing says he will be producing after-market gears for this bike. Tell him I sent you!

Ladies and Gents,

the gearbox damage for my 73 250 equates currently to a bent selector fork for 3rd gear!!!! Does any generous soul out there in the big wide world have one available? I am willing to buy, replace etc etc etc. I am led to believe some of the later models have parts that will fit but of this I don't know so any advice here would be good to.

Hope somebody can help - PLEASE!!!

regards
