    Question- kx250 - after hitting neutral in high rpm between shifts, and then jamming it into 2nd gear, my bike shut off and won't go into neutral or 1st. The Bike Runs Because I Was Able To Get Out The Trails In 2nd/3rd gear. Do You Think it can be simple as a shift fork popping out/loose or the gear or shift drum won't slide ?

    I have a 1998 125 I'm going thru...everything. And I like the 1998 powervalve! My water pump failed and leaked water into trans side.....I didn't know and had to replace the trans ($110, nice one) PV gov' ($11!) all the bearings were going to be replaced anyhow...the crank gear ($10), .....All is good now....coming together as I type

    Hey Matthew, I have a 1990 KX125 that I got from a buddy and I am wondering if you know if I can swap/exchange parts from that engine with parts from newer kx125s? The reason I am asking is I would like to rebuild the engine and most of the rest of the bike to learn how everything works and get it running again. But, I have realized that a bike that old makes it hard to rebuild due to lack of part sourcing. So I was thinking maybe the other 1990s kx125 engines have a similar architecture and I could possibly swap out old broken parts for newer oem parts. Let me know what you think and thank you so much for making this video series, it is a serious life saver!

    Does it matter which way you put the shift drum in as long as it’s not upside down and the forks line up with the grooves? Like does it have to be rotated at a certain spot before connecting the forks? I would think that the only way you would mess it up is if the forks didn’t line up in the groove

    • @HTMR
      @HTMR  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The shift drum can only go in one way. Forks need to go in correct grooves. Rotational orientation does not matter at this stage in assembly.
