Message: [QUOTE="flounder, post: 1235528, member: 81139"] Alright so heres the deal. First off let me say that Im not new to bikes and definitely not new to forums. I just wanted to get some input prior to starting to rip into the repair. So anyway.. I have an 02 yz 250 2 stroke. While riding today, I stopped to clean my goggles and had the bike in neutral.. well I gave it a decent rev to help keep from fouling the plug and it felt like it slipped into gear. It pretty much stalled instantly. Well after I start it back up and take off, I notice that it wouldn’t let me downshift down to 1st.. pretty much sure I started out in second, grabbed a handful of clutch and tried to downshift and the tire locked up instantly with the clutch engaged, I upshift quickly and based on the way its running, it feels like Im in third. I try downshifting again and the same thing happens.. WTF. So I shut her down and evaluate. Bike is now off, I can squeeze the clutch and shift through the gears by rolling the bike but only in one of the gears can I actually roll the bike with the clutch engaged.. all the other gears even with the clutch engaged causes the tire to be locked up. For the one gear I can roll while squeezing the clutch, if I release the clutch, the tire will lock up as well so I know that Im not in neutral. Not sure what is going on now.. so I get back on start her up,, manage to find a gear that will let me at least ride it back to the truck to load it but if I downshift, it locks up.. Feels like I can only start out riding it in 3rd. Also, I cant seem to find neutral anymore.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. I have no idea as I wouldn’t think a clutch would act like whats its currently doing. Hell, I almost think its part clutch part tranny. [/QUOTE]
