Last summer i bought a 2006 RMZ 250 that only had about 12 hours on it. The guy that had it before me didn't say anything about performance mods that it may have, so i figured it was stock. My buddy has a CRF250R that has a full exhaust and a air filter and i absolutely smoke him when we race. So one question i have is: Is there any way of being able to have an idea of what's done to the bike without opening it up? The bike likes to overheat if i'm just ideling around the woods, so i think it may be bored out a bit? It wiseco piston stickers on it, and after looking i noticed it had a edelbrock carb, it also has a twin air air filter. Near the end of last summer i was casually riding it when i shifted into second gear and the back tire locked up. I no longer have second gear, it just grinds and sometimes locks up. Does anyone know what could have went wrong?

Kinda like the kid that got caught in his bedroom by his mother while pleasuring himself. Mother says, if you keep doing that you will go blind. Kid says, can I just do it until I need glasses? :whoa: ;)
Lemme esplain this again. :coocoo: If you have broken gears in your gearbox and continue to ride the bike, you will cause damage to other parts of your engine. Stop riding it and take it apart. There is no sense in buying a used gearbox until you find out what is wrong with your gearbox. It could be something as simple as a bent shift fork.

If it is something simple like a bent shift fork, it won't take long to fix.
Nobody likes to have their bike disassembled, but it's better than the alternative of abusing it until it stops for good.
I don't understand why you are taking the risk. If you do serious damage by failing to fix it, you could have much more down time and much higher costs to repair.
Also, if it locks up solid when you are riding, you could be seriously injured.

I'm pretty sure the tranny is just messed up. like i said,i can skip to third (i never do). I just tried it once to see what all was wrong.. I have the motor out right now. I plan on ordering the parts tonight.. As far as a gasket kit.. Is it necessary to replace the oil seals?
