David Blanchett Posted September 28, 2019 So I have a 2009 YZ250, water went through the whole bottom end shortly after 2nd hand buy so tore down cases, stock cases were a bit beat up in places so bought some 2nd hand 2007 or 2006 crank cases, not sure. Engine is nearly back together and i went to fill up with 80-90 and noticed i was missing a cover/plate on the L/H side that goes over the shift drum (Just below the output sprocket). I looked at my old case and there is no cover its just built into the crank case. After searching schematics and blog posts for the past hour and a half I've turned to the knowledge of you lot! What on earth is this cover and where can I find it? kind of annoyed i hadn't picked up on it earlier. I have a picture of my stock case and the cover missing on my "new cases" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinger317 Posted September 28, 2019 Here in the states they added the neutral switch in 2011 I think. Before that they looked like your bottom photo, no hole. After that they look like your top photo with the open hole for the switch. I think Europe and other markets got the switch earlier. If your bike doesn’t have wires for it in the harness you could just make a plate and gasket and bolt it on to seal/cover. If your bike does have wires for the neutral switch you may consider tracking one down. In the parts diagrams it’s under Electric 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinger317 Posted September 28, 2019 If the switches are cheap, bold one on just for a cover not plugged into anything. Check out eBay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
