I think I broke my transmission in my 2015 CRF250L

Just curious if anyone has any input. 2015 CRF250L, was riding some tight trails, hit my gearshift lever on a rock, bending it all the way back to the foot peg. After straightening the lever the bike now upshifts, but will click repeatedly when downshifting, but won't actually downshift. I ensured full range of lever movement. Did I break something internally?

Tips and Tricks Away to buy my first bike soon

Post image
12 Upvotes

Been saying the past 4 to 5 years i was gonna get myself a bike. Had bikes in my younger days but nothing faster than an 80cc.

I’m going to be getting myself a Yamaha yz250. I am aware it’s very powerful for first time and i of course will take it easy and learn correctly and not overdo it.

Just want to know what full safety gear to get and if you guys have any tips and tricks for mods that i can make from standard fresh out the shop. Haven’t had a bike for years so im a little unsure about all this again.

So bloody excited to start this next year been talking myself in to it for years and now i make great money i have the opportunity to get myself a new bike. And have a car with a hitch so will get a trailer also to take it to tracks with me.

Thanks guys

Edit* also any tools i might need on me also, I’m a mechanical engineer but might to purchase other things for it

I took the right side off this afternoon and expected to see a broken shaft or something but I don’t see anything obviously wrong. The gears don’t touch so I’m wondering if the gear is the wrong size? Any help is appreciated

Need help for first bikes for me and my wife

1 Upvotes

Hey guys picking up bikes for me and my wife. Been years since I’ve been on a dirt bike one but we both ride Harley’s. We live in bc so it will all be trail riding, hills, single track etc.
I’m 6’3ā€ 220lbs
Leaning towards a Honda 300f or 250 rx. Or Kawasaki 300r. I like the price on the 300r / 300f a lot better but wondering if I’ll get bored of it in a year and if the suspension will be adequate.

My wife is 110lbs around 5’7ā€ I believe.
Leaning towards a Honda 125f big wheel or Kawasaki 140rl or the 230 rs

I think I want fuel injection so I think the rl is out for her but I’m not sure how big of deal that is. Been years since I’ve looked at bikes and just can’t decide which route to go. I want the same brand either way for both bikes I’m ocd like that.

Any input is greatly appreciated thanks guys let me know if I’m missing something or ask any questions! Buying something tomorrow hopefully!

Was tightening my chain on my KLX 300r and didn’t tighten the axle bolt hard enough so right when I dump the clutch for a wheelie chain yanked right off and then into my case 🄲. Y’all don’t be shy really torque down them axle bolts.

KLX140 for $1,800?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Ok. I’ve almost settled on this bike. Just need someone to tel me if it’s a bad move. This was an auction buy, so I don’t know the previous history. It sound like the current owner just rides it around his yard. It needs tires, rear brakes, the number plates are missing, some of the plastic is cracked, and the exhaust is some random thing that sort of fit, but clearly isn’t meant for this bike.

All that being said. I test road it and it seemed to ride well. Enough power for my needs, which are chasing my kid through the woods and slow speeds. And it seemed to fit me well, it is the RF model, so full sized wheels. I see them posted some what regularly but more in the $2500-3k area. So I figure at $1800 I can ride it as is, and replace things like the exhaust later on (which I would probably do anyway).

2001 YZ80 clutch problems

1 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first time with a two stroke and I’ve been having serious clutch issues with this thing. The clutch worked fine when I got it from the seller about 3-4 weeks ago, and since then I’ve hadn’t touched the clutch at all cause I’ve been working on other stuff for the bike, however my clutch cable did snap so I got a replacement and installed it and it had tension and everything. Today I finally got to be able to ride it but I realized my clutch has some issues. First initially the bike would just straight up stall whenever I try to put it into gear (keep in mind I’ve done zero engine work for this), so I thought I needed some extra tension to be able to disengage it properly. I kept giving it tension but nothing helped it so I kept going, and eventually the actuator arm on the engine itself lost its tension and was freely moving around. I opened up my clutch cover and pulled out the little rod that connects to the actuator with the ball bearing and simply inspected it and then reinstalled it and it fixed that problem. However even still the clutch doesn’t disengage properly and it’ll stall whenever in gear. I can barely move the wheel with the clutch in first gear, it’s only like barely easier then just not pulling the clutch at all. I took the plates and separated them all and re oiled them and put them back in nothing still.
Would greatly appreciate help, thank you for anything that might be helpful

Community Question Where to ride in south florida?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been riding a 1998 Yamaha DT175 in Medellin, Colombia for the past two years. I restored this iconic 2 stroke myself and have loved every second of riding it through the streets of Medallo but it’s time to part ways.

I’m moving back to south Florida (Fort Lauderdale area) and I want to pick up a dirtbike. Since I’m new to riding on dirt, I was thinking of getting a CRF250F/KLX300R to become a better rider before looking at something else like getting into Motocross.
Thing is… there aren’t any legal trails for dirtbikes anywhere near me. There aren’t any south of central Florida if I’m not mistaken so that idea is kind of out if I don’t have a place to ride.

Would it be too bold for me to get a YZ250F/CRF250R and immediately get into motocross? There’s the Miami MX Park and MotoBros in Okeechobee tracks that have beginner classes and I’ll actually have somewhere to practice and get better rather than having to drive absurdly far or find random backroads to ride the trail bike.

I appreciate any input apologies for the long message.

No Start on 09 YZ250F after top end.

1 Upvotes

I bought a 09 YZ250F off marketplace a few weeks ago. I diagnosed it to turning out having a bad head gasket. I did the top end. I finally got everything done and ready after a few hiccups everything was put back together. Now it won’t start, I couldn’t get it to start since I rebuilt. We timed it exactly how it should be, I replaced the timing chain, spark plug, and a lot of other things. The valves look fine when I poured gas over them. It cranks over just fine but doesn’t want to start, I cleaned the carb too.

Still nothing.. I don’t know what else it can be, I’m getting healthy spark, no wires are pinched. I’m tired of tearing everything apart just for nothing. I thought maybe it could be a bad valve spring? I just need some help other than AI.
