The dogs are the little things that stick out of the side of the gear that mesh with the gear beside it on the same shaft. You should find that the edges are...
You also need to inspect the shift drum where the shift fork's pin rides in the slot to make sure the slot that engages the gear isn't worn. Joel [Non-text...
That's a good point Joel - I suspect that was the case when I had to replace my third gear and fork - when back together, neutral wasn't quite neutral anymore,...
If the problem is wear on the drum then it's best to replace it since using a shim like you did will reduce the amount of dog engagement. I guess it worked...
Again, I am in need of your help. Some of you guys helped me find the cause of the severe surging on my bike. It was a clogged Pilot valve area. Well, after...
If it helps, I did have a 1977 IT250 at one time -- wonderful engine, crappy suspension. Anyway, I was just blessed with a 1981 XT250. Does anyone have a ...
Yes, but I doubt there was any cross-pollination of the same gear ratios. That would surprise me. A simplified way to think about it is the ITs and YZs shared...
This is the first dirt bike I've had. The gears don't engage until the hand lever is almost completely released, then they engage quite quickly and the engine...
I was going to make my IT175F street legal but I need brake lights. The previous owner swore up and down the bike was originally equipped with them. I can't...
Just a few questions about exhaust systems on two stroke bikes. 1. Does the flame arestor ie. the big bulgey part that runs from the engine to the muffler have...
This topic may have been covered in previous posts, but here goes anyway. Does anyone know if the YFS Blaster cylinder and head will fit on 84 to 86 IT 200's?...
The US IT never had brake lights. Some did in other countries though. I welded a bracket to the inside of the frame above the brake pedal to hold the...
Something isn't right if it isn't any quieter with new packing. That should make a big difference. One thing that doesn't seem to hurt power but does make it...
You need to adjust your cable before you do anything else. If it isn't slipping it should be ok unless the plates have grooved the basket. You can smooth the...
Joel, should the inner part that the packing wraps around have holes/perforations in it? much like a car muffler? ... That should ... but does ... so that the ...
Most silencers have a perforated core. The sound has to have some way to travel into the packing. Is it an aftermarket straight through aluminum silencer?...
I've never found new packing to make a very big difference in the sound level, unless the packing was very loosely rolled on the core of the silencer. I've...
If I remember correctly those had a short piece in the back that you could remove the packing didn't make much difference on them. The stock silencer is about...
Sometimes I look passed the obvious, and it is nice to have someone there to say "HEY! Check the obvious and simple first." I double checked the float levels...
I need some more help from the IT pros out there. Even if you are not a pro and just have lots of good experience. Anyone have any ideas why my IT465 engine...
It could be many things. It almost sounds like something may be "hanging up", or that the engine is having a fuel starve. I can only offer some suggestions. 1)...
That's a very nice looking IT! There are a ton of things like Mark said. My brother in law's 02 CR250 experienced something very similar just about a week or 2...
I still haven't had a chance to get my hands on an 18" wheel for my IT465. The selection of rear tires for a 17" wheel are severely limited. I have found a...
I am running a 17" on my IT465. It is the Cheng Shin C755 as well. I really don't know how it compares with other tire treads. Here in Oregon, where there...
Well, after much searching here are the tires I have come up with for my 17" wheel: (The Dennis Kirk catalog is my source and the prices are from there also) ...
In my experience the IRC is a much better tire. The Maxxis works really good for one ride and then goes away. The Kendas I've seen never worked very good....
