Re: xtr 250 gearbox trouble
Is this the one that keeps breaking?

Had the same thing happen to me. Have you been replacing all the gears or just #3?
The engine is a copy of the Honda FTR223, but I don't know if the gear box is exactly the same.

Re: xtr 250 gearbox trouble
Thanks for the reply man. I think that's the one, I'd have to go out in my garage for a look. Both the gears for 3rd are chewing out on mine. I can't get only 3rd gear unfortunately. I have to get the whole gearbox from the guy I get my stuff from. It gets sent from china so I have to wait a little while for it. If I can't get another type of box that's stronger I' going to make sure I've got a backup one all the time. It only lasted me about 7 hours tops. I don't think they are hardened like the japanese ones are. Will have a look at your suggestion. Also, I've seen a gearbox made by loncin for these engines that has some different combos of gearing than the gearbox I have now. Just need to get the digital calipers out to check some diameters, lengths etc. May last a little longer but doubt if it is hardened again. What bike do you have? Is it only 3rd that's gone on yours? Just had a look at the ftr and it looks the same hey. Thanks man, Gus.
