[QUOTE="yz125_racer, post: 1185116, member: 74697"] Hey guys, I know that i've already posted this a few days ago, but for those who haven't seen it yet: i need some advice!! I own a 2001 model YZ 125, and last weekend before going for a hard ride i drained my gearbox oil to fill it with new oil... After draining out all of the old transmission oil and then disposing of it, i noticed that on the bottom of the dish i had drained it into.. there were heaps of metal shavings! Like literally fine peices of metal in there. After showing my stepdad who knows a hell of a lot about bikes, he just says "yup, that would be bits of your gearbox" So after hearing that, i definately DIDN'T go for a ride on it in that condition. They were only fine, silver shavings... but there were a LOT of them. But the thing that gets me is that last time i changed my gearbox oil, the oil was perfectly smooth and there was nothing abnormal about it, except the colour... nor did it have anything foreign in it whatsoever. So for you people who ride 2 strokes, what would your advice be? Do you think i might need a bottom-end rebuild, or.. (this might sound stupid) could this be a common thing with these bikes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers [/QUOTE]
