SOURCE: gear/clutch problem

does not seem like the waterpump. is the clutch set too loose?
usually in wire based clutches, if the clutch cable is set to be too loose, or if it is frayed, and needs replacement, the bike will jump and stall.
check that.

SOURCE: my clutch in my rm 250 wont disengage i know the

If you put synthetic oil or an oil with "Special" additives in the gearbox the cork on the fiber friction plates may be swollen. The swelling can cause the clutch to stay engaged, Only use standard 10w40 motor oil in the gearbox. You will need new fiber friction plates if that is what has happened. Normally the only other three things that would cause the problem are a worn shift arm, a bent push rod and a badly worn cable.

SOURCE: gear disengaged on 2nd gear

You probably will not like the advice that comes with what I suspect is the answer to your question.

My friend, let this be a lesson for you ... keep your wheels on the ground. I think you have stripped second gear
and suspect this will be a very expensive lesson for you.
You have a 17 year old motorcycle, it needs more respect from you, not a beating.

Treat your machine with respect and make it easy for we other motorcyclists to show we are good citizens. Not good to scare women and children and horses.

'07 rmz 250f troubles getting bike into neutral

It's an internal transmission problem. A bent or worn gear shifting fork, or the gear dogs are battered. On the other hand it could be worn clutch teeth sliding, a worn clutch cable or the plates are sticky. Check the clutch plates and adjustments on linkage.

Rmz 250 2007 sometimes wont shift up from 2nd to 3rd?

The bike has a slightly bent shift fork. The repair requires a complete engine teardown. Special tools needed include a torque wrench, impact driver, flywheel puller, and case splitter. This repair is not recommended for the novice mechanic. There are a lot of parts involved and just one mess up can force you to take the engine in a basket and plead with the dealer to reassemble the parts. The dealer will charge you more to repair a basket of parts than if you had just let them do the repair from the start. Below is a generic diagram showing how the shift forks, ( your bike has three ), move slider gears left and right to engage other gears. Please rate my answer. tombones49_122.gif

Unable to shift second gear and up on a CRF 250 X 2008

You have a bent shift fork. The repair means taking the engine out of the frame then removing the top end, removing the flywheel and electrics, removing the clutch , shift mechanism and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to remove the gears and then the bent shift fork. Next you get to put it all back together. This is a pretty big job for the home mechanic.

You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter and torque wrench plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it".
I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project.

Please rate this answer, (even though it's not what you wanted to hear). :-)

2005 yz 250 shifting problems

Well. I'm a motorcycle mechanic and my 2004 RMZ 250 recently did the same thing, The Shift forks inside my transmission actually bent and were not moving the gears as far as they needed to go and eventually got to where it quit shifting all together, recently also repaired a CR 125 That wouldn't shift at all and it was the shaft the shift forks go on was bent and hung the shift forks. Sounds like your shift forks are bent to me though.

Hi there anyone, can't get any gears on my honda cr250 1991 model .please help .thanks shorty.

If you mean that you can't shift into any gears from neutral then you have a bent shift fork. Did you strike a small tree on the left side of the bike while riding in the woods? Bumped the gearbox on a large rock? Is the foot shift lever bent at all?.... Replacing a bent shift fork is easy if you have the special tools and the know-how to do it. Most riders would shy away from attempting it. You would need to remove the engine then tear it down into about 75 pieces to get to the bad fork. Check the gear sets operated by the bent fork. If gear dogs are broken then it is best to replace the broken gear and the gear it engages with.

Transmission problem

Sounds like the engagement dogs(not the teeth) have rounded off of second gear possibly combined with a bent/worn shift fork. Common problem on older Yammy trannys that have been shifted from first to second too hard too many times. The parts are not too expensive but the labor sure is.... the engine has to be split open to get at them.,,,
