Was wondering what geering I should go to or if it even makes a difference at all. I have a 2002 YZ 125 with the stock rear sprocket that needs to be replaced. I think from stock the ratio is 13/49. I generally just do trailing riding and woods riding typically in first and second gear.

Going into my second season of track riding and desperate to find a chest protector and neck brace that fit together. For reference, i'm 5'7" and roughly 160 pounds with pretty narrow shoulders. I have the Atlas defender chest protector and an atlas neck brace (bought without trying on together) and neither fit properly on me... separately or together... Want some advice before I go out and start buying both new Open to any and all suggestions. I've looked through older postings on here and saw some great recs for chest protectors but not sure if the combo of both pieces of gear has been discussed yet. TYIA (First time posting... hi!)

As I'm closing in on the last things I need for my riding gear I'm doubting what I actually would need. As a newbie I'll be just doing single track most of the time. I'm looking to either combine an Alpinestars A1+ or Bionic Chest Protector with a BNS PRO neck brace or Leatt 4.5 with a GPX 3.5 neck brace. It's a tough decision because I'm obviously unsure how my experiences will be. Is the rib protection a must? What made you lean to the gear you now have? Enjoy your rides! ?

Ok so ill keep it short and sweet. I had an issue with a kx250 engine locking up. I checked before i went to splitting the case. Once i did i found the culprit to be the top input gear wheel thats supposed to spin on the shaft. It was completely seized and ive tried everything i can to get it off to no avail. Is their any way to get this gear off or would i have to cut it off?

So far I have torn up two pairs of fox boots that cost around 200 bucks. I was wondering what the most durable boots is for around 250. Was thinking of the gaerne gx1. Any thoughts?

I’m a teenage girl and new to riding dirt bikes but I have previously rode atvs for fun. When I would ride the atvs I would just wear a helmet which I don’t think was the safest or the same as a dirt bike. I’m not exactly sure what is a must for riding and staying safe so I figured I would ask for some help on here. I will mostly be riding through grass or farm fields, and dirt/mud/tree trails. So far I’ve been looking at a fox v2 mips helmet and I already have a pair of gloves. I can spend some money but don’t want to be spending a fortune when I’m not that into it yet but also don’t want to be going to the hospital in the first few times I ride my bike either. I’m just looking for some advice on what is a must have and what isn’t really needed to stay safe and be comfortable when riding. Any other tips to a beginner will be helpful too! Thanks to everyone that helps!

YZ250FX YZ250FX 2019 Wont Start in Gear
Branson Bowman-Edgar posted a topic in WR250F/YZ250F/YZ250FX
Hi All, My 2019 250FX doesnt start if its in gear, despite clutch being in. Anyone know how to circumnavigate this on the bike? Frustrating when you are on a precipice and you have to balance to get it in Neutral, then gear down, then go. Any help!? -

Hey guys I've got a question. I've just finished putting the kx450 back together. I noticed though if I wiggle the gear shifter back and forth there's a knocking. It's as if I'm pushing the shaft against the casing. Does anyone else have this?

Hey everyone I recently acquired a 87 kx250 but the previous owner decided it was a good idea to weld the wrong kick start lever in the wrong position. Does anyone know if the 1987 kx250 shares a kick start mechanism with any other bike? The kdx200 of the same year looks promising but the part number is one number off.

Hello everyone. This is not a question. I would like to post an idea, hoping someone might start manufacturing this. It is a frame for protecting the vulnerable back and neck in the most dangerous case when the front wheel hit a log or a boulder at high speed and the rider flies violently over the handlebars. Sorry about the pathetic drawings. There are backpacks with light aluminum frame. It is similar. The frame has to be extended and bent forward to stay above the helmet. So, the first impact hits the front bar of the frame, not the helmet. The forces would be transferred to shoulders and waist this way, not the neck. Neck should not get any significant stress. The frame should not restrict any movement, it would be hardly visible and can be worn under any other backpack. More thoughts: 1. To make sure helmet does not move much, we could have a small mechanism on the top of the frame which would work like a car’s seat belt: It would connect top of the frame to the helmet with a cord (belt) which can be locked in when you put the helmet on. The belt would allow free movements as usual, but would lock up on hard and fast jerks. 2. The frame could be extended to cover also shoulders, sides and even chest. I guess there would be like three options on the market for different preferences. The full one would be like an exoskeleton, offering nearly car’s kind of protection. It would be great to see any comments. Thanks for reading.

In my search to setup my DRZ and XR as I wanted, I found endless topics on what gearing and handlebar setups are the best. Not only on the DRZ and XR forum, but all of them. There is really great advice but it always depends on what the other rider prefers, which is sometimes hard to gauge. While looking for my perfect setup, I found these websites, that helped me a lot. I am not affiliated with them or anything like that, they're tools I found that work really well. I haven't seen these linked on this forum yet, so I thought I would. The first is www.gearingcommander.com. It is a calculator for you gearing, obviously, but is has so many options and an enormous database of models. It lets you compare three setups, where you can change pretty much everything and gives info on top speed, rpm in gears at a certain speed, what -1 or +1 would mean for speed or rpm, but also the number of chain links needed, chain speed and number of chain contacts with the sprocket. For the DRZ you can even change the actual ratio for the gearbox, if you have an ACT box installed, to see what the effect is. The other is www.cycle-ergo.com. A calculator for riding position. After choosing a bike you can adjust handlebar, foot peg and seating position, seat height, and body posture. There's an option to view with a pillion, and to the enter your inseam and have the feet on the ground to see if you will reach. None of this info says anything about how it will feel to ride, but it lets you compare your current setup to what is suggested and get an idea of what to expect. The perfect setup is wholly subjective, so it can be hard to decide what advice to follow and this lets you see it with your own eyes. Saved me ordering a bunch of wrong parts. For the Japanese brands, if you're looking for high quality parts fiches, OEM parts numbers or OEM parts that are hard to find, www.cmsnl.com is a good spot to look. Again, not affiliated, just helped me out a lot. It is easy to find the part number for something you need, then look for that part number to what bikes have it. Sometimes the same part is much cheaper if ordered for a different model. They even stock the ball and spring that lock the passenger pegs on the DRZ-400S and SM to give you an idea of their selection. They consolidated all Japanese motorcycle parts dealers in the Netherlands, to make finding parts easy. They've been expanding into Europe ever since. The non-Japanese selection is growing, but isn't as big yet. Finally, a good reference is www.motorcyclespecs.co.za, which a database with all the basic factory specs for pretty much every bike ever made for every model year and variation, including a review on many models. I found it useful to see the differences between model years and variations, when ordering parts. Hope this helps someone with setup, riding comfort and parts!

Does somebody know the average speed for each gear for a 250 dirt bike?
-
Hi! When I shift into first gear, it does not always engage and when it doesn't, I need to push a little bit up to make it engage. It's the same thing with the fifth gear but I need to push a little bit down... My question is: could it be a fork? This fork could it be responsible for the first and fifth gear? Could it be a spring or something? My last question: could it be the gear oil?

I have a 2018 KTM 250 SX and I have found my way to this forum because my ktm dealer is the only one in a two hour radius and does not know a lick about their own bikes. Also all of my family and friends have never had KTM's or Husky's. I race motocross and am in the Intermediate/B Class, I weight 185 pounds. So I was hoping I had some KTM gear heads on here to help me answer some questions. Warning: I am about to ask a lot of information so if some threads are already created just please point me to the link. ? My main goal is kind of crazy in my mind... I need more longer wrap out time in 2nd gear but need 3rd gear to be snappy out of turns so I do not burn up my clutch. I ask this because a lot of the tracks I ride at in Missouri have pretty good size jumps right out of a sweeper or sharp turn. I dont like to hit them in 2nd right now because I get the Ronnie mac air boner affect in the air (because 2nd gear is very snappy and short). 1. Does anyone have any recommended adjustments for the RED power valve spring? (turns out/turns in?) Also what is the tool/socket I need to adjust, Robertson? What size? 2. Any recommended suspension settings other than the manual? 3. My manual says the bike has a Performance ignition map that can be plugged in? Is that correct or is that only for the EXC models? 4. What rear tire has everyone seemed to run on this bike, 120 or 110? 5. Hate the long silencer exhaust, Should I run the FMF Shorty or the ProCircuit Shorty? 6. What size rear sprocket seems to work best for motocross with this bike? 49? thanks for the much needed help!

dropped the bike doing a dirt donut, Pretty sure I broke a pin on the change drum /gear holder star thing (and 1 week from my Friday the 13th DMV test that I need this bike for) but found a pin in the oil pan when I was trying removing the gear changer face plate. couldn't remove the plate because I realized you need to get the chain and sprocket out of the way since I don't have tools for either of those things I was wondering if I could get away with EITHER removing the sprocket OR the chain ...to save money. if not I guess ill just have to buy $400 impact wrench + a $200 master link revet tool.

Hey guys! Quick question on my left side crank case (stator side). After my rides if you pull the cover off I am finding gear oil. Which shouldn’t be there. I am not sure if it is coming from or could come from the clutch arm or what seems to be a wheep hole? See pictures and let me know if any of you have ran into the same problem, and how you fixed it. All info would be greatly appreciated. - Jarod

Hey guys, it's been about 3 months since I bought my new yamaha yz450f and today it has about 21 hours of use. Now, the other day climbing a dune the motorcycle began to make a strange noise only when the motorcycle runs in the 4th gear (in the rest of the gears it does not happen) everything indicates that the gear of the 4th gear was broken or that He moved. Did anyone else happen to this or just me? The motorcycle has only 21 hours incredible that a 0km motorcycle breaks the transmission only climbing in dunes. What do you think it could be? What should I do in this situation? Change brand and buy Honda or Kawasaki? I do not know. I am very disgusted and frustrated with the brand for now and with this happening on a completely new motorcycle. I await your fellow responses. Thank you

Just got my first bike (Yamaha TTR-225) and need gear because god knows im gonna need it, I expect about 25% of my riding time being spent on the ground yelling obscenities so i'd like to survive the trip there. I'm 5'11", medium head, size 11 or 11.5 boot and medium clothes. I live in near Renfrew/Pembroke but I don't mind driving to Arnprior or even Ottawa maybe, if the gear is worth it. Thanks in advance.

Greetings. Today I've crashed on left side of my DRZ400. Gear lever was totally curved (fixed on video). Main problem: gear selector shaft pressed in (inside) engine! I can't change gear when it pressed in. If I pull it back from engine, then gearbox works correct (I can change gear). But selector shaft not fixed. What I can do? Dismount right engine crank case cover first?

I was riding today and rode into a puddle that was much deeper than I expected. Way over the axles. I stopped the bike, and pulled it out (with help). The "puddle" was in a swamp at the headwaters of the Schuylkill River in a coal mining area. The bottom of the puddle was super soft mud, I nearly pulled my boots off just trying to reposition my feet so I could move the bike. Its unclear if the water was over the top of my boots, but no matter, I had water at least ankle deep inside my boots. The water was strange looking, foul color and stunk terribly. I've got boot dryers, so getting them dried out over a couple of days is no problem. But how to I clean the inside?
