One of the top LT250r builders chiming in here. Please air-leak test that engine. The exhaust valve can be tricky to seal up but once it is, it will jet easily and cleanly. Again, let me know if you need anything for that machine. I have NLA OEM engine service parts, upgrade parts that I make, and lots of graded used parts. That FTZ pipe is beyond rare. I've never seen one of theirs that run in the stock pipe routing. The more common(still SUPER rare) FTZ pipe hangs out of the frame on the left side and is HUGE. If you want that bike to really run well, shoot me a message and I will be able to point you in the right direction. The AAEN porting on your cylinder isn't what most would call great. If you could get a clear pic of the engraving it would help ID if the cylinder was actually ported by them or if someone carved it on there themselves to try to increase the value. Both FTZ and AAEN did port/pipe/carb combos so it is kind of odd to see the mismatched tuner's products on that bike. I can help with details and history on the parts on the bike and the tuners that made them if you want. Just let me know what you want to know.
@@yeahright302 I stay humble. My work speaks for itself. I have rolled back the work load for the last couple years but I still stay in it. You'd be surprised who is who behind the username.
Video taping the ride out at the land and it sure brought back some great memories. I did a little Motocross myself when I was younger and I had forgotten the thrill of Shifting through the gears and hearing that two-stroke scream
That shift drum bolt being gone allowed the drum and the forks to move a lot causing the fork ends to wear thin. Under pressure the gear dogs slip out of contact because the forks allow them to. That worn 2nd gear is too much. Those dog ears have to be more sharp edged .
Oh yeah!!! We’re off…..great Sunday morning content! I just saw this in my YT feed and I’m glad you decided to be persistent with this machine, she deserves the repair!
You were absolutely right, that missing bolt on the shift drum was the initial problem but it was ran that way too long and probably worn the shift forks out of tolerance which you’re probably not gonna see with the naked eye. I don’t blame you a bit, I’d have done the same thing just replacing the bolt and trying it 👍
Joe, i gotta say i admire your patience when you get into some crappy situations now and then, a lot of times this younger gen are very short tempered, but you maintain your cool quite well my friend...GOOD ON YA!👍👍👍👍👍
This quad brings back some memories. I didn’t own it but my friend who lived up the street did, I think 86/87, I had an 82 ATC250r with a little motor work and higher compression, we used to go ride in the hills all the time in summer then ride back to his place to go swimming.. great times back then, I think mid early 90s… don’t grow up people!!! Enjoy those easy days, my only advice, get a nice silencer for it, those bikes love a good pipe and silencer, really brings out the animal
I had one of these as a kid. Never did I get a chance to ride it because it was sold to pay the bills. Boy, would I love to get my hands on another. These quads were massive
Glad you found the issue, it`s hard to believe that little bit of wear caused the problem, but obviously you still had something rubbing which explains the shavings still in the oil, there was something wearing on those gears and shift arms, well done.
Those old Suzukis are nice. I had a Quadzilla back in the day. Still kinda miss it but it needed pretty regular repairs / maintenance. This is why I like my Raptor now. Almost no maintenance. Change the oil, lube the chain, put gas in.
Great job, at time frame 33:59 you can see where the gears have rubbed the case next to the big bearing in the r/h case ,most probably when the end bolt was missing previously .Is that where thee metal shaving came from.
Could very well be. Besides regular clutch wear which can be seen with every oil change (it makes the oil look like metallic paint) anything large enough to be able to feel with your fingers is abnormal wear.
My cbr600rr would slip out of 2nd gear on acceleration, I found the dogs and recesses on 2nd gear to be worn exactly like yours except the shift fork that engages 2nd was deeply gouged, not bent but gouged, and those 3 things added up to 2nd gear not staying engaged. It's been 10k miles since I fixed it and 2nd gear is still going strong. Good job Joe transmissions can be very tricky
I own a 86 lt 250 and from my research thes are known to be excellent trail bikes.never really meant to wind up like hondas trx250 r. Take that thing to the mountains and run some trails with a group and you will love it!!!!
that 1-2 shift is what rounded the dogs & causes the trans to 'pop' out of 2nd. 1st doesn't fail because it is pre-selected & doesn't get the operator's 'shock load' via the clutch.
2Vintage slaughters the at home rebuild game. Love this channel. I own a 2001 kx250. Which I haven't seen Joe work on yet. But, I'm sure eventually he'll get a deal on one and it will make a great video.
Hey Joe, place a slim O ring on the shaft with the litttle gear that likes to go AWOL. That way, you can slide the parts together and the O ring will not cause difficulty. I do that when I build transfer cases and transmissions because if the needle bearings get away from me, it all has to come apart and be reloaded.
Joe. So glad the new tranny parts fixed this. Nice Quad! One thing I wanted to mention. I see/hear you miss 2nd gear often when test riding your vehicles. Don’t be afraid to click upwards when you’re going into 2nd. Give it all you got with your ankle and pull up. 😊
That's what I used to do. I had a practice bike and a race bike. The race bike was strictly for that purpose alone, while the practice bike took some serious abuse. Every Sunday was fun for two reasons. # 1 was the racing, and # 2 was because I got to ride what was essentially a brand new bike.
Bro is literally teaching you how to rebuild a motor. I been watching these videos for years and I’m still going faithfully. You need to start your own shop or something fr
He never taught me a damn thing except how to get pissed off at watching someone screw s*** up some of us in here have done this many more years than any of you had added together
My my my what a mess. But great content as always. Hey Joe would love to see a Suzuki LT 80 on the channel that’s one that’s been around for a while and I don’t think you ever had one on here
I have the same year lt250r and if I’m not mistaken they is another dot on the crank to line up with the counterbalance gear and the gear for the crank to make sure everything is aligned correctly , thank you for this detailed video of the lt250r motor can’t wait until the race between the Tecate lol 😂
In my experience one popping out of gear is bent or worn shift forks. I know you measured them and the thickness was the same. But I’d bet the forks that came out were slightly bent from the shift drum moving around.
I follow your job from some time now. it is very interesting and it incress my knowledge a lot. on this case, what it would be very nice, it is, on the old gear, to understand what was the issue. continue like that, it is the TOP
Great job!!! ..she sounds really tight and.fresh, sounds like u can drop the main a few to get it revving higher at full throttle and richen the pilot or maybe turn the air screw half a turn richer , Since u can literally rebuild.any motor now , next genre to start mastering is Suspension,...rebuilding, serving, oil, seals, disassembly, special tools tht motion pro should send u free as long as u advertise.using it in videos....surprised u don't leverage even more of.your massive following to aquire free tools from like minded companies.into moto....
FTZ - full race, high end. -See if you have the FTZ head mods. Pipe is worth some money. Could swap to cheaper DG (new/used) for thicker pipe and better off road torque.
I had the full DG setup on my 1985 QuadRacer, but it didn't matter because my brother could still smoke me on his bone-stock 1985 ATC250R. Those things were stupid fast.
Just use 2 fingers Joe when you’re changing gears or not use the clutch at all you will find your changes much cleaner and faster,great to see you changing down when slowing down better brake wear and not so hard on you Peace ☮️
An Accumulation of wear throughout everything in motorcycle transmissions can cause mishaps in the shifting. In fact I would have measured the left side of the shift drum that goes into the bearing on that side, as well as inspected to see how tight the corresponding bearing was in the case. I noticed during the first go around that one of the bearings in the case nearly slipped out...... that tells me the case has some wear, which could be where some of the flecks were coming from, along with the gear wear. Usually on an older machine you end up finding out that the main problem is case wear, that leads to gear wear, that leads to shift forks wearing, which also wears out the drum over time and shifting problems. However often if it's an old machine, it starts with case wear. You can put brand new parts in an old case that's only slightly loose, and within a few years, you'll have shifting problems. Years ago, I've seen guys mix up JB Weld and put a light coating on the outside of the bearings before installing them in the transmission case, just to snug everything up a little. They'd reassemble it, and let it sit for a week with no oil in the gear box, so the JB Weld would harden really well, then put the lube in and put it back into service. If you're trying to patch up an old machine to get another couple of riding seasons out of it, for a good customer, you let them know the circumstance, and that it will buy a little time for them, until they can maybe find a donor replacement engine to build .
I have a hard time watching you. When i do a bike up clean polish when it's done something to take pride in. You do a good job getting them running but their just so crusty haha. Gearing seems short , Those things cost a lot in Australia ....if you can find one to buy.
Another great vid and work. Do you fix these machines in order to sell them? Probably a dumb question but I had a friend growing up that was doing what you do but he basically kept pretty much everything he bought . I’m just curious. Thanks again for you channel, I really enjoy watching you wrench👍👍👍👍
That was great. Just goes to show how finnicky gearboxes can be. A friend had a 125CC can't remember what it was but on re-assembly the gears would go from 1 to 3 to 2 ! He stripped and put it together several times but couldn't find out why. He may have done it in the end, not sure. The apple trees look reasonable, can we get a progress report on the farm ? You never mentioned potatoes again so may have changed your mind on that one. All good though, most enjoyable, you have great skill. Lovely to watch, thanks :)
2nd gear shifting dogs are rounded off on the ends and thats what makes them push away frome each other. if you had dove cut the dogs with a die grinder tool you would have never had to go into it twice Dove Cutting pulls the gears into each other ive done dozens of transmissions with that proceedure
As a 2000’ rm250 rider/owner, it’s crazy how similar yet how DIFFERENT the ltr sounds under load. I’d truly like to see the latest ltr power plant ina rm250 chassis and compare to its stock power plant . Something tells me even the youngest rms would be more superior but ltrs still competitive
that pierce that was in the crankcase of the last video looks a lot like the ears on these transmission gears. hope that won't be a problem on that quad in the future.
Ever heard of backgrinding?? Look it up. A little bit of grinding on the gear dogs in the right place and when the load comes on they engage and some. The old gearset would have worked. Pays to check end float too.
I always wanted a honda 90 trail I think it was called a step through, had one back in the 70s, .... what do you do with all the stuff you fix/rebuild, do you post forsale some place....
Yeah honda stepper 70 and 90cc we had them in the 90,s as field bikes they lasted forever ,i paid £15 for a 70 back then,now everyones restoring them and there 1000,s of pounds
So, I was wrong on my prediction of rounded off dogs, it was over all wear. Wasn't this the motor you found a piece of cog in the clutch side? I didn't see anything missing.
Where's that piece of broken off aluminum at Joe? That you found in the case laying in the bottom inside of it. I do believe it's part of the split transmission side where that spring loaded metal release shift lever mechanism safety stop. You can fix it by using some JB weld reinforced steel tank weld putty. It will hold it into place. It has to cure completely though.
Would love to see you polish and port a 2 stroke 250 in one of your videos. Have always been curious how to do that properly. Love your videos, have seen them all. Thanks
Did you ever find parts for that Cub Cadet sxs? You one with the piston that blew up. I remember an update when you were working on a Suzuki dirt bike but haven’t seen anything sense then. Did I miss a video? I looked through your videos and don’t see anything. That was a project I was really hoping to see finished.

This thing is awesome man. I'd love to have this quad
I still think the lockout bar for the barrel had play in the faulty gearbox from the last video assembly. Like a bush was missing or the rod had worn
Would love to see you polish and port a 2 stroke 250 in one of your videos. Have always been curious how to do that properly. Love your videos, have seen them all. Thanks
I cringed when I saw you use channel locks while installing the spark plug. Did you ever mount the head to frame mount back in?
Did you ever find parts for that Cub Cadet sxs? You one with the piston that blew up. I remember an update when you were working on a Suzuki dirt bike but haven’t seen anything sense then. Did I miss a video? I looked through your videos and don’t see anything. That was a project I was really hoping to see finished.
23:55 gosh how did that escape ypur initial inspection for a transmission issue.😵💫🤡
