so today i was riding my '96 cr125 on a real long straightaway (few miles)
i was in the top gear and was varying the revs around and in and out of the sweet spot of the powerband but staying in that gear for about a 1/4 mile.
as i slowed down to stop and shifted as normal down through the gears when i got to 1st gear and almost stopped i heard a lot of clanking and it seemed to be slipping in and out of gear.
i thought i had done damage from the motor from keeping it on a sustained 5th gear run but now that i think of it, i think it might be the transmission, because when i start the bike up the revs build up and go through the roof without noise, leading me to believe the jug and piston are as normal.
what could the problem possibly be?
broken basket, plates?
