I have a 2004 yz 250 that is used for trail riding only. On the last few rides of about 50 miles in length I have noticed that the bike does not want to down shift from second to first. (rolling/rocking/or sitting still) Also on these trips, when ripping down the fire road back to the truck, I noticed a metallic rubbing sound coming from the engine/tranny area. When I here this noise I pull in the clutch and coast to a stop. This rubbing sound stops about two seconds before I come to a complete stop. I can take back off going through the gears no problems. I change the tranny oil after every ride regardless of lenght. I keep the clutch adjusted with the proper. I use the 80 weight honda cr transmission oil. This noise scares me as well as the bike not wanting to down shift. Also the bike hits neutral at the drop of a hat. It is normal for me to hit neutral on the trail at least five or six times. On my 99 cr 250 Ive never had this problem.
I starting to get that sick feeling in my stomach. I can see it now. "Its going to cost $1,000 dollars to fix your bike and it will be six months before we can get to it" talk from the dealer. :bang:
Im desperate for advice Please tell me that Im not going to spend big bucks on this brand new bike :ugg:
Redrider ( I know I should have know to ride red )
